I used to be one of the projectionists operating the 16mm projector for the film club when I was a student, and the fluff-removing technique used by one of the more experienced projectionists was to apply a dab of spit to the incoming film with his fingertip. Surprisingly, it usually worked. I have never tried it with my home movies!
