The 'No More Buying DVDs Until I Have Watched the Ones I Already Own' Thread

Oh and I watched Little Black Book on Friday - forgot about that one! It was ok but not good enough to keep.

I was also given a massive bag of dvds at work today for free so I'll go through those tonight and see if there's any that I want to watch - not very good for clearing space but at least they are free!

DD1 and I watched The Invisible, the Swedish version with German subtitles , lol. DD1 is studying Swedish and I can read German. The film was weird (about a dead teenager's ghost) but some actors in it I recognized from Swedish TV. She will take that disc with her to watch with her Swedish friend.

This is very impressive Happygreen!

I watched 2 more films last night. Lucky Break and Igor. Enjoyed both. I'm pretty sure I've already seen Igor a while ago but it stood up to a rewatch if I had!

I must admit that I succumbed to nostalgia...2 films I used to have on VHS I treated myself to the dvd versions The Commitments (with the music cd) and Leningrad Cowboys double disc. I was inspired by watching Sing Street in the cinema, the Commitments must have been an inspiration for it. Both will be keepers

Fondly remember seeing The Committments at the cinema - great film & splendid music! Music on my phone as I type.

Struggling with my DVDS as cannot figure when I can get the minimum 4.6 recurring days I need to watch The West Wing boxset, or are there special rules for multiseason box sets?

I tend to count each season as 1 dvd watched if that helps? I've never seen West Wing but I have friends that love it.

oh dear, I spent half the night with DD2 sorting out her DVDs, boxes, shelves, stacks of them. Now neatly sorted into :give away to friends with young children (think of any kid's movie published in the last 15 years, we have it!) , CS (only 1 so far: Gladiator) , watch again once, then see above, keep (all Shrek movies!), and lastly: ask DD1 if she wants to keep (teen rom coms). Only 1 or 2 came to me to watch, then to dispose of...
Lots to watch before DD2 moves to Uni - will keep you posted on what we've seen!

1st progress report!
DD2 and I watched
Flushed Away, what a wonderful gem that was, so witty and funny. Put on DD1's pile.
Our House with a quite young Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. A comedy about a young couple buying a house with an old lady as a tenant. Funnier than I had expected! Also on DD2's pile to sort through when she comes back from Sweden.
