i am so not up on the movie thing, i fasted for 20 years from any movies at all, so it was always going to be a peripheral interest for me at ET.
having said that, i enjoyed the first one, for the politics. as you probably remember, the films i found so-so at best.
i have tried to watch seven samurai several times, since i rediscovered 'movie culture' and hated it.

perhaps it could be reframed, as in: run a leisurely vote as to what films would be voted on, say over 6 months, choose them (it) and the go for it, after everyone has had plenty of time to get the dvd.
not being on b-band, torrent is not an option, and i can't count on everyone being as kind as you were, to loan me the dvds.

I think everybody appreciates the sharing of interesting resources/entertainments - whether books, youtubes, links, reviews or whatever. Movies are part of our media landscape too.

But there are lots of other movies that are not widely publicized - it is worth getting recommendations from others in order to seek them out.

I'll keep an eye on the tribune for the rebirth of the film blog. One hopes it will be suitably dramatic :}
