When I started to collect movies you had to
search through endless 2nd hand shops to find what you wanted and felt that you had earned the pleasure of watching and experiencing what you had discovered (see also record collecting)
Add to this - scan the telly listings to dig out something rare that was being shown at an obscene hour!

When I was 16/17 and really into film, channel 4 used to show really great foreign movies late at night. I guess they use film4 for that now but to be honest I don't have the time/attention span to sit in front of the TV at a specific time to watch something.
One that I remember that I really enjoyed was "Harry, he's here to help", a Hitchcock style thriller about an obsessive ex-classmate (maybe) who just turns up in a couples life one day and the tension slowly ratchets up. It looks like the whole film is on youtube but without subtitles, if anyone speaks French.

I love film/movies /cinema but don't really like modern films.
I think one of the best modern movies in recent years was Jackie Brown.
Genre's -
I like silent /obscure /Kung-fu & Samurai /Westerns and a lot of things in between.
Some of you may say - We already have a film thread and don't need another.
I say that we do need another one as the current one mainly covers modern movies on release in High street cinemas.
The movies I have grown to love are not on general release, may only exist on VHS/DVD or someone may have uploaded a version on Youtube.
