what a coincidence that we are all better than everyone

Over the past four days I have watched 12 films. 13 if you count the fact I am currently watching From Dusk til Dawn on channel 4. I am declaring that an achievement. I have paid a fiver for 8 films (once of which I cannot own for it was on the big screen), 2 more films I have not decided if I want to keep yet. I now have 63% remaining in my sky+ planner. So here is my new list. Some are repeats either because they were too long to stare at this weekend or they are yet to be recorded. Yes, my life is terribly dull. This is what I do to stay sane.

These I need to watch before next weekend.
Zodiac
Doctor Zhivago
Dark Passage (which will be my third out of four Bogart and Bacall films) - I have only seen about 15 minutes because I have to go but oh god so good.
The Strawberry Blondes
Charade
Withnail & I

Because all of these will be recorded over Saturday and Sunday.
Breaking The Waves
Tell No One
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Edukators
Passage to Marseille (which is billed as a 'supposed follow-up' to Casablanca so I suspect it will be bad)

A couple of real mean motor scooters. Ahh I love this film.

From Dawn to Dusk. Me and my mum just watched it. Didn't quite see that turn of events coming. Vietnam guy looked a bit like Bo Selecta Michael Jackson.

What a..strange film.

From Dusk Til Dawn, FOOL.

Go straight to recording Withnail and I, it's genius. Fear and Loathing I can lend you, or if you can be bothered you can buy it for £3 at HMV. I recommend The Edukators, but to be honest it's a bit iffy. Best watch it before you record it to see if you like it or not.

You mean what an utterly brilliant film.

Withnail and I is on Thursday and I just about had a fit when I saw that because I have never watched it from start to finish in one sitting. Fear and Loathing I have seen, I'm recording it to watch again because I'm not sure what happened, at all. Apart from drug use.
