"DVD Library update"

After much debate + editing these are the dvds that I picked out for the DVD library thingy they're doing at my school. Thanks to everyone concerned, it was a great help, if there ae any glaring omissions then please speak up..

Oh, and it wasn't me who struck off all the mainstream blockbusters (ie Gladiator). The teacher in overall command decided that most people who had a DVD player (and therefore will use the library) would already have mainstream films like Gladiator and Star Wars, and the aim of the library was to introduce them to new films that they might not have heard of... Well, here we go then:

3 Colours Red
3rd Man, the
12 Angry Men
39 Steps
Amelie
American Beauty
American Werewolf in London
Amores Perros
Apocalypse Now Redux
Audition
Battle Royale
Big Lebowski
Blade Runner
Blue Velvet
Bout De Souffle, A
Chasing Amy
Clockwork Orange
City of Lost Children
Dekalog
Edward Scissorhands
Evil Dead
Fight Club
French Connection I+II
Full Metal Jacket
Girlfight
Godfather Box Set, the
Great Escape, the
Happiness
Heat
Jaws
L.A. Confidential
La Haine
Leon
Magnolia
Matrix, the
Mean Streets
Memento
Metropolis
O Brother Where art Thou?
Pi
Planet of the Apes
Psycho
Pulp Fiction
Raging Bull
Raising Arizona
Requiem For A Dream
Resevoir Dogs
Seven
Seven Samurai
Shawshank Redemption
Shining, the
Silence of the Lambs, the
Sexy Beast
Sleepers
Spinal Tap
Taxi Driver
Usual Suspects, the
Withnail & I

Yeah, they should have the trilogy!

*shhh*

*under breath*
I siphoned that one off... Don't tell everyone!

Where the hell is Die Hard?

You'd be better off with Halloween instead of The Shining.

Kevin Smith films "pushed the envelope" too much for my teacher. I wanted mallrats, but instead he flicked through time out's film guide and saw that Chasing Amy was the critics fave KS film. I like them all, and I think Chasing Amy is still a damn good film even if it isn't quite as funny as the others.

Amores Perros rules. The teacher was impressed. That's a definite. He was also impressed with american werewolf and Sexy Beast (cheers Goaty).

Should be good. We're going to buy the lot over half term probably after he finalises the selection but the general consensus was for all of those films to be bought. Ed Scissorhands might get the chop though (haha what a pun, not).

Good choices there, i thought you'd be wise, misterhappy. But i didn't know Reservoir Dogs was out on DVD!!!!!!


Hmmmmmmmm............

*Runs to local virgin mega megastore that doesn't exist and steals Reservoir Dogs and after setting off alarm by dropping hovis toast begins gunning down local security guards (who are eating doghnuts) with RCMP 350. Mini saves the day. The End.*
