Mods - please, pretty please don't delete as duplicate thread (also posted in gen discuss forum) as not so much a thread as a public notice, if you see what I mean....

Hi there. Here is the list of DVD's I have to exchange right at this moment. All but one (A Mighty Heart) are very good visual and sound quality. All the foriegn language films have english subtitles and around half of the films also have the bonus features too.

Mimi's Firsts
American Gangster
Breaking and Entering (Anthony Minghella, Jude Law, J Binoche)
The Suicide kings (decent thriller with Cristopher Walken)
A Mighty Heart
This is England (pretty decent skinhead movie / period piece
The City of Lost children (from Jenet and Caro, directors of Delicatessen)
Breach (political/spy thriller, excellent character acting by Chris Cooper)
The Edukators (decent German movie, very stylish and raw.)
Letters to Iwa Jima (solid Clint Eastwood direction, lush cinematography)
Ong Bak (high octane, very famous thai martial arts film)
Last Days (stylish Gus Van Sant imagining of K.Cobains last days)
Memoirs of a Geisha (good popcorn film with lush visuals)
The Last Emperor (won 9 oscars, say no more, Bertolucci's Opus)
Facing Windows (poignant Italian thriller about the past & obsession)
Die Hard 4 (does what it says on the tin.... popcorn movie)
A History of Violence (Cronenberg)
Zodiac (solid, engaging serial killer thriller from fight club's David Fincher)
3:10 to Yuma (Western with great performance from Russel Crowe)
Triumph of the Will (Actual documentary filmings of Hitler's Nuremburg Rallies.)
Sayonara (Brando)
Nixon (Oliver Stone, Anthony Hopkins)
Stalin Documentary
Mussolini Documentary

As you can see they're all (okay die hard 4 an exception) decent solid films, so I'd only be willing to swap for like quality movies. I do like decent hollywood comedies too like Dodgeball, me you and dupree etc, so don't let my selction give you the impression they have to be foriegn / arthouse/indie only....

Anyhow, give us a shout here or PM me and let me know what you have that you'd part with and maybe we can arrange a swap at the weekend or a weekday evening.

OR - if anyone's interested in a group swap at a public bar (or even a public bath) or something, hey, why not make a post on this thread to express interest and let's get it set up!!!! It could be similar to the monthly book swap at Wolfhound on Sunday afternoons.

Cheers
