5. Hmm...

That's good.

But can't a great indie DVD place open in the ground floor of my building? That's what happened in the last place I lived.

Why, oh, why did I ever move out of that place?

Oh, right.

6. Cinemail can be a little

annoying just cause you have to get stuff in advance. BUT, they have a ton of great stuff.

3. hmmm

the one I go to has most of those. Maybe it isn't typical. They even have some foreign films, but they don's have the Seventh Seal or Chinatown. They do have Seven Samurai. I'm sure there are plenty more on the list. I really should go back to the indie store. They have everything that is wonderful and obscure.
