Like the title says, can anyone tell me the name of the material polarizing film is generally made of and whether it's something that could easily be purchased at a local shop?
Thanks very much!

It's usually just called a (linear) polarizer or polarizing film. Are you interested in the chemical composition or do you just want to buy some? I wouldn't hold my breath for finding it locally, but it's readily available on line. First Google result for example: http://www.polarization.com/polarshop/
If you are on a zero budget or wish to have some fun, try doing a teardown of an old/broken monitor. You will find a sheet of polarizing film as one of the layers in the LCD panel.
