I have had many jobs in the film industry and one that I really enjoyed was cataloging film collections.

Due to the expense and rarity of cameras and film, not that much film was shot in the early days. And reducing that number even further, celluloid, especially the earlier stuff, is extremely flammable. Many films of which there are no copies are lost forever.

YouTube and Hulu are two reasons I don't pay for cable. There are lifetimes worth of viewing on YouTube.
