Movies Movies Movies! |
Life. Don't talk to me about life.

I have a post about Ubercon brewing, but until that's ready to come off the burner, lets talk about movies for a few minutes.
I Love 'em.
This will come as a surprise to no one, but still I must go on. While at the MIT Flea market last Sunday, I picked up another bag load of DVD's from Yet Another movie store closing down. At $3 each, it totally falls under my "never pay more than $10 for a movie" rule.
I updated my listing, sorted them onto the shelves, and added in 2 movies given to me as a gift from blk, and totalled things up. I'm over 315 DVD's now, and my appetite is not yet sated! More! More! I'm still not satisfied!
What I hadn't updated in a while was updating my wishlist, so taking some cues from Dumb Distractions (thanks crouchback), I filled out the list of movies I don't have, but feel should be part of the collection.
I'm sure I'm missing some good ones. Whadya think? Any suggestions?
See the collection and wishlist here.

any interest in old movies? i can't pick out much pre1970s. 3 favourites of mine are: the Quiet Man, the Third Man, Gaslight...I could come up with more

Old movies are great. I already have The Quiet Man (and watch it at least once a year). Third Man I don't know at all, and Gaslight is an excellent suggestion. I'll add it!

Quiet Man is just about my favourite, but The Third man is seriously intense

THE (2006)," "PI (1998)," "PRIMER (2004)," "PUZZLEHEAD (2005)," "SPACEMAN (1997)" and "WILD BLUE YONDER, THE (2005)" -

Sorry for the broken Amazon link in our recent post above - quess we coulda/shoulda used TinyUrl. Seemed completely ok on the Preview/Edit before posting though. Edit, *after* posting LJ Comments, would be nice of course. :)
