i ought to be in pictures
What do Denzel Washington, Sharon Stone, Kevin Costner, and Jodie Foster all have in common? They read old newspapers on microfilm, of course. Each of these actors has starred in a movie in which they go to the library and research something on microfilm.

Spanning more than 50 years of cinematic history, movie images of people using microfilm range from Oscar-winning performances to schlocky horror films. Characters in movies turn to microfilm when they need to look for an obituary, find information about a haunted house, or simply track down an obscure person, place, or event.

Who knew microfilm was so glamorous?
