Just as an aside, who has Lovefilm (or similar) and who doesn't?

I don't have Lovefilm, but I think I can get it via my Wii, and I can get Netflix through my BDP and TV.

I don't have Lovefilm, but I was planning to join, because the monthly membership fee is cheaper than buying the DVDs.

My point being that on some occasions we could pass a film around between a few of us. I just bought it (its not on iTunes or Virgin Media On Demand) but could watch it early and post it on to others rather than them buying it or joining a service specially.

I think 2 of our members are not in the UK, but that could work with the rest of us.

If Strapped would like my DVD, I'll post it off to him, I would like it back though.

The on demand choices are pretty limited (I think about four of my list of four hundred are available, although strangely kne of them is the mad monkey), so I'd say JD's idea is a good one. Of course, if you get strapped's address you'd forever be able to extort him under threat of disclosing it to cloverfield.

Tbh if you you find yourself buying a number of discs that you don't rewatch, then lovefilm makes financial sense.

i've no on line film service, but i can by a new dvd or second hand, no biggie.

I can only watch the winning film next week, as i'm going to be out all week.

The only kind of movies that i don't like (and will not see, is terror movies, not my cup of tea) other than that i'll be all right!

And yes, i'm not from the UK, but if some one want to send me a DVD to wacth, for sure i'll send it back, posts to Portugal are not so expensive, and a DVDs are lightweight and there are some nice cuddly envelopes from post office to ship them arround. :grin:

I think they already secretly send xmas and birthday cards to each other, so nothing to be gained there.

Netflix would be a little easier for me to use, and from what I've read, there's little difference between the two. I've checked a few titles out for availability on Lovefilm's site, but I don't seem to be able to check Netflix's catalogue.

Do you mean Horror films?

I won't be recommending any horror films, but I might suggest some films that contain some scenes of violence and torture, that may be psychologically quite disturbing, rather than straight forward scare you horror.

I'll warn you if I do.

Good film, i have it on blu-ray, anyone seen ichi the killer. :) :)

Not the uncut version, but I have seen the lightly cut version.

I like it, black humour is something I enjoy, and Ichi is very dark, but very funny at times.

Why don't you try the films that we recommend? I think you might like Survive Style 5+.

To be honest, he had me at "stupid mad commie."

With his silver-tongued old-school charm , who wouldn't fall for him?

I was a little concerned before making my suggestions that some members, well particularly you, would have seen the films before.

My knowledge of twenty-first century foreign language cinema really isn't that extensive. I'm usually looking further back.

Really?

It's not remotely scary, good film, vampires in it, but definitely not scary. Maybe you should try it?

Well I'll be interested to see what you think of SS5+.
