Los Angeles Plays Itself should be one of the docs, of course... Is this available on DVD? If so, I missed it. I've wanted to add it to my collection for years, but couldn't get a hold of it...I heard it wasn't available due to copyright problems. Rhonda

It also has a short listing of fictional films that feature cities as prominent "actors" I need more of the latter. What I'm looking for are movies that feature cities as central parts of the narrative, as essential to the essence of the film (not just films that are shot in a particular location) What do you say? Take a look at the list and let me know what I'm missing. gary Gary Handman Director Media Resources Center Moffitt Library UC Berkeley 510-643-8566 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC "I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself." --Francois Truffaut VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
