LOL...thanks for sharing your list.

Have U seen Mamma Roma by Passolini? Wow!

I plan to see Persépolis ASAP, but have been generally disappointed by les video clubs a Geneve. Openvideo's Plainpalais branch is about the best so far. How do you get your cinematic and DVD kicks in

I was also struck by Woddy Allen's Match Point, even if many others were not.

Try DVDFLY.  Its ok...guess i'm spoiled by netflix back in the states.  I'm a huge movie buff, particularly indie films and DVDFLY does not have much of a variety but i guess its better than nothing, and DEFINATELY better than spending 7CHF per film at other movie rental store fronts.

Cool!

Gracias!

Not so much within my tastes, but I'll certainly try it 4 a few months. Do U use it? They have to receive ur last DVD back again b4 they issue U ur next choice, yeah?

Don't forget to tell me when U'll be in Geneva to meet Voix Libres

I use it yes.  Unlike netflix, they send you 2 or 3 movies (depending on which offer you choose) at the same time and you have to return them all at the same time.  Sucks but the good news is that if you return it (its self addressed and postage already paid) by 7pm then your next selection of movies will get to you the very next day.

ooppss...i meant they will send you your next selection of movies the following day so you will get it day after.
