Subject: RE: BS: WARNING! SNOB THREAD. Renting a film.
The silly thing is that video stores (well, Blockbuster anyway) seem to think in terms of new releases, as if they were cinemas. They should be more like bookstores, where the new boks might get special displays, but the old ones are there as wel; or real libraries.

The other thing that alwasu surprises me when I think about it is howe very few films I really like have I ever really seen. I mean seen in a cinema, because that's really the only way to see a film. Televisions are a pale shadow ofvthe real thing, and wodl be even if I won they lottery and had one of those huge home cinema setups.

Here's a few more that don't seem to have cropped up, sticking to ones in the last few years:

Shine
Bloody Sunday
Bowling for Columbine
Babe
Awakenings
Fly Away Home
Mrs Brown
Shadowlands
To the West
Waking Ned
