They're a lot of fun if you can get the film. Some company reverse engineered it and then went out of business, but I think there are still options if you're willing to pay $2 a photo.

Polaroid is making a comeback. You can get film in Walmart now.

Smarter Every Day did a film factory tour series, I think it was Kodak. He's got some cool film photography videos.
