Stairway to Heaven (a.k.a. A Matter of Life and Death) and Faithless. But to have only two is amazing for me, my 'next to the dvd player waiting-to-be-watched stack' reached it's peak last Christmas and I decided to watch everything. I watched 65 movies between Christmas and Valentine's Day, I buy too many DVDs.
The Misfits and A Taste of Cherry. And an absolute ton of video recordings, but I'm trying to pretend they don't exist (because otherwise I will weep in defeat).
Super Size Me (I've already seen it but my parents want to see it), F*** (a documentary on the curse word), and Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series. The Kingdom, too.
Ha! I finally, finally got around to watch Visconti's Gruppo di famiglia in un interno (Conversation Piece) last night which I borrowed from a friend at least two months ago. I was too embarrassed to return it in person so I put it with a box of chocolates in her mailbox this morning.
such a variety stacking up here. some of you have pretty heavy nights awaiting you.
henry season 2 of Heroes is a TOTAL snore. Skip ahead to Friday Nights Lights which is great.
remy i'm so intrigued at the diversity. Terminator and Tibet and 8 1/2 and... my my.
WHAT PROMPTS YOU ALL TO RENT THESE THINGS... and how come nobody has The Great Zeigfeld, Life of Emile Zola, American Beauty and Shakespeare in Love on their tv. Aren't you following this BEST PICTURE series we're doing?
Fido, Central Station, The American Astronaut, Paprika, Dario Argento's Opera, The Blue Angel, The Element of Crime, Buster Keaton Shorts, and a couple others.
Also, I just bought Waitress because I want to be that girl who looks like Keri Russell, is given a check for 200,000.00, has a beautiful child, great friends, and owns a pie shop. Oh yeah, and no man in her life!
Then I could watch all the movies I wanted while I got fat eating cream pies in my pajamas.
I have three: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; The Man Who Knew Too Much; and Head-On. All three movies have been sitting there since June (so little time to watch DVD's). I also have August Rush, which somebody gave me as a birthday present (last May). But that movie holds no interest for me.
The Cotton Club. A friend loaned it to me a while back in shock that I'd never seen it... (all I've heard is the fabulous soundtrack). It's been there for a month and I can't quite bring myself to put it in the machine... it takes a lot of effort for me to watch a Richard Gere film...

ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll watch it tonight!
well, my mother bought tibet, but I don't really wanna see it.
ReplyDeleteI watch the terminator once a year. I can't help, I love everything about it, including linda's hair.
and I never watched 8 1/2 and I'm a little afraid that I will not like it very much.
I have three: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; The Man Who Knew Too Much; and Head-On. All three movies have been sitting there since June (so little time to watch DVD's). I also have August Rush, which somebody gave me as a birthday present (last May). But that movie holds no interest for me.
ReplyDeleteAs far as what prompts me to watch them-I keep my Netflix list really, really diverse. I don't like to have the same genres at the same time.
ReplyDeletePedro
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should re-gift August Rush.
Although I love Russell and Meyers...the film is not good, and Robin Williams is sadly bad, bad, bad!
Get to those other films !
