More Everything!

In anticipation of some reorganizing in the house, I think its time to whittle down my DVD collection. In the past, the idea of getting rid-of some of my DVDs would have been unthinkable, but with Netflix and other means of digital distribution, I feel that I can watch any movie I want to, sometimes within a few minute, and at worst, within a day or two.

I put about 12 discs in the ‘get rid-of’ pile, but I also came up with another 12, that I think I want to get rid of, but I want to give them one last viewing before I make my final decision.

I figured I would write-up a few quick thoughts after each viewing. Here they are, in order of length:

1. Storytelling (d. Todd Solondz)
2. Good Night, and Good Luck (d. George Clooney)
3. Punch-Drunk Love (d. Paul Thomas Anderson)
4. Timecode (d. Mike Figgis)
5. The Fountain (d. Darren Aronofsky)
6. American Splendor (d. Robert Pulcini & Shari Springer Berman)
7. Your Friends & Neighbors (d. Neil LaBute)
8. Wonder Boys (d. Curtis Hanson)
9. Way of the Gun (d. Christopher McQuarrie)
10. American Beauty (d. Sam Mendes)
11. The Princess and the Warrior (d. Tom Tykwer)
12. Amores Perros (d. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu)

I figured it would be easier to watch some of the shorter movies first, so that is why they are in order of length.

I’ll be back shortly with my thoughts!
