Like most people born before the 2000s, I came into contact with classic films through two avenues: a video tape that my parents or some other adult bought and which was rewatched until it gave a dying jolt in the video machine, or through TV. Where I live, there’s an open access channel which does not resemble what is was when I was a child. Now it plays mostly Christmas movies and local soap operas, it’s even expanded into its own rather nifty news channel which my dad watches. But when I was a child, it played some really great classic films, and one of those treasures was The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
