Purchase a used DVD of Roman Holiday from the early 2000s (the "Special Collector's Edition"). Rip it using HandBrake or AutoGK at a resolution of 720x480. Set the bitrate low—around 900 kbps—and encode to .avi using the Xvid codec. You have just created a time machine.

While "Roman.Holiday-1953-.avi" provided a gateway to classic film for a generation, technology has moved far beyond it.

Roman Holiday does not end with a kiss. It ends with a memory. And as any traveler knows, the places we cannot stay are often the ones we love the most. That is the sacred mundanity of escape. And that is why, seventy years later, we still cherish our visit to Rome.
