Film

The Rental

By Jon Shoemaker ⋅ December 12, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I love movies. I was dismayed at my DVD collection on Sunday afternoon when I wanted a good movie to fall asleep in front of, but couldn’t find anything that I would want to watch until I fell asleep. I put in Seinfeld, but there is no way I am going to sleep through that.

So last night I decided I was going to sign up for online rentals. The choice was between Netflix and Blockbuster. Both offer the same plans for the same price, so it was a toss up. I ended up signing up for Blockbuster’s simply because every month you get two free “in house” rentals, other than that Blockbuster and Netflix are identical in service and price. As of this morning, my first movie in my “queue” shipped to me: American History X (the best and worst movie I have ever seen at the same time). As soon as I mail American History X back, I have a list of DVD’s waiting to show up on my door step. I am excited to get my movie watching on, all for only $9.99 a month.

Does anyone have any good movies that deserve a rental (besides Over the Top, I have seen it and it owns)?

  1. I suggest the following:
    A Street Car Named Desire (Drama)
    Zelig (Comedy)
    Blazing Saddles (Comedy)
    Willow* (Fantasy)
    *note this needs to be special edition, there is a pretty important scene that is left out on the original.

  4. -cool hand luke. One of the best prison movies ever.
    -A Philadelphia Story. Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. Much better than that Christmas downer.
    -Fargo. It’s more than just funny accents.
