Well, I got these from the library:

Wings of Desire
Boogie Nights
Andrei Rublev

I also have most of the films I got from the library before that I haven't been able to watch.

Um. I rented Year of the Dog, but watched it yesterday and sent it back. Gerry should come tomorrow.

Disturbia is very fun and relaxing. The Elephant Man is one of the all-time greatest and of course South Park is hilarious. Great choices all around, man.

Thanks, Mitch. I'm looking forward to The Elephant Man immensely.

Nice rentals. The first season of South Park isn't the best one but then again I couldn't choose a favourite season.

The Elephant Man is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most touching films of all-time. Masterpiece.

David, is this your first time watching South Park? If so, you're in for plenty of laughs, because it is quite possibly one of the funniest (and best) shows ever made.

I have The Untouchables and There's Something about Mary. From Netflix, Woman in the Dunes. I'll mail it back tomorrow.

Last film I watched. I think you'll love it. 8.0 at least.

Wicked. It looks pretty great, and I expect some beautiful cinematography. Cillian is always great to watch.

I keep meaning to ask you; what did you think of Crowe's performance in Gladiator?

Sorry I must've missed your reply somehow...

I didn't like it as much as I could've. His best moments were the action scenes. Otherwise in the drama parts I found his lines too forced to be iconic and no passion in his face or otherwise. I was unimpressed. I haven't found a performance from him that actually suits him; here's hoping for 3:10!

On topic...

Dead of Night and Y Tu Mama Tambien.

I just borrowed Videodrome, Army of Darkness, and Troll 2 (all VHS) from my uncle's collection.

I just can't watch VHS anymore. It's like playing Nintendo 64.

Still have:

Wings of Desire

Just In:

Downfall
The Constant Gardener
Dog Day Afternoon

I hate VHS but that's all they had available for Halloween.

Enjoy my man. I know you will. Two top 10 films.

I gave my Dad a list of films I wanted him to rent for me and he got me:

American Splendor, Annie Hall, Revolver, Face and Pom Poko.

I only asked for the first 2. Never even thought of watching Revolver but I may as well. Face does actually look quite interesting. I don't think I'm going to bother to look at Pom Poko again. Doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I love VHS tapes. I still have about 400 in my collection. Also, I play N64 more than I watch movies. Goldeneye is one of my biggest hobbies. Razz

N64 is great fun.

I'm more of a Super NES-type person. Yes, I am that old-fashioned.
