Lovefilm

I always wanted to keep track of all the good films i see with Lovefilm...
This is one of the reasons why i'm starting this blog!
A friends of mine from Paris came over for a few days and told me how much he struggles to rent old stuff, classics, forgotten gems.
Even if most of us are decent nerds who can find more or less anything to download on internet, the idea of receiving weird old films by mail is definitely worth £18/month to me.
You won't see any action, blockbusters in this first list because i'm sure you've all seen "2012" or "kick ass" by now.

Watch these if you didn't already:


Taste Of Cherry (1997)

"I don't like to engage in telling stories. I don't like to arouse the viewer emotionally or give him advice. I don't like to belittle him or burden him with a sense of guilt. Those are the things I don't like in the movies. I think a good film is one that has a lasting power and you start to reconstruct it right after you leave the theater. There are a lot of films that seem to be boring, but they are decent films. On the other hand, there are films that nail you to the seat and overwhelm you to the point that you forget everything, but you feel cheated later. These are the films that take you hostage. I absolutely don't like the films in which the filmmakers take their viewers hostage and provoke them. I prefer the films that put their audience to sleep in the theater. I think those films are kind enough to allow you a nice nap and not leave you disturbed when you leave the theater. Some films have made me doze off in the theater, but the same films have made me stay up at night, wake up thinking about them in the morning, and keep on thinking about them for weeks. Those are the kind of films I like."
Abbas Kiarostami



Network (1976)

"A messianic farce."




The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)

Written by the Coen bros and Sam Raimi, directed by Joel and perhaps his most under rated feature.




Away We Go (2009)

I had to see the follower to Revolutionary Road and became even more curious after seeing Maya Rudolph and John "LP lookalike" Krasinski on the bill.




Down By Law (1985)

"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!"




The right Stuff (1983)

"It was the film that had everything going for it. Perhaps in the year of Return of the Jedi moviegoers were still more interested in fantasy than in the reality of American astronauts risking their lives."

In The Bedroom (2001)

Pain, rage, and vengeance.
