It being the height of british summer here are some suggestions based on my recent activities.

play spot the Ronnie Barker in "Those magnificent men in their flying machines"

anyone know a good website for this film?

If your video has freeze fame read all the stories on the front page of any "spinning headline news papers":- in 'Passport to Pimlico'
the fictional tale of how the treasure was discovered stops after a few paragraphs and reverts to a manchester murder case it was pasted over. it is also surrounded by culturally interesting stuff about teddy boys.

Get a sheet of paper and stick it vertically down the middle of the screen then watch one of your favorite films and enjoy the back ground extras desperatly over acting. Also useful for noticing period detail in old films.

ok so I should get out more. but let me know if you spot anything good.

The best (unconfirmed) 'newspaper headline' story I heard was in the WW2 spy film Triple Echo(1967) where one of the other headlines visible is about the price of Concorde going up

Re Those Magnificent Men here's another game you can play:
'Spot the 1960s power station'
