Lisa: Librarian Video Collage
I want to make a video of clips from various movies and TV shows involving librarians. I'm not sure what the purpose of this video would be, but I suspect that the possibilities are endless (ha). A game played at a librarian-themed event, where you guess what movies the clips are from! Part of a presentation on the stereotypical portrayal of librarians in the media! And so forth! [Legal Disclaimer: this video would be for personal use only, not sold or distributed in any way.]
Anyway, here is a list of possible candidates for inclusion. If you think of a show I have forgotten, please let me know!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Giles)
Angel (Wolfram & Hart corporate librarian)
UHF (Conan the Librarian)
Party Girl
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
It's a Wonderful Life
Foul Play (Goldie Hawn)
The Music Man
The following shows have been suggested by others. If you want to say yay or nay, or would care to enlighten me as to what these have to do with librarians, please comment!
Wishbone?
Bliss
It
The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag
The Shawshank Redemption
Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade
Joe vs. the Volcano (I think Joe was some kind of corporate librarian at the beginning of the movie)
Philadelphia
Caveman's Valentine?
Where the Heart Is
Breakfast at Tiffany's (they may or may not have meant The Breakfast Club)
Also, I'm not sure how to go about making this fabulous clip montage once I have assembled a satisfactory list. What technology do I need? And do I have to rent all of these movies at once? I might need to find some sponsors if I have to do that. And....GO!

She tells him that she's going to the powder room, and he yells that maybe he should give her $20, like all the rest. Or something like that. Why does she wear sunglasses inside a library? I don't understand...

In Shawshank Redemption, he becomes the prison librarian, along with helping all of the prison guards with their taxes. Another book moment in the movie: he hides something within a book. I won't be more specific, since Lisa hasn't seen the movie.
