Because my film watching is so sporadic and spur-of-the-moment that I'm not convinced a postal service would be either cost effective or useful. Maybe I should just get myself more organised. But it seems odd to arrange everything around my DVD watching. Honestly?

As it happens (although I have never got around to watching it), I bought the original version ONE MONTH BEFORE the Redux was released. Now I'm going to have to buy it again. Sheesh! :) I do wish people would stop urging me to watch the Redux.

It's not my favourite film but would certainly be in my top twenty. It does take a while to get going but that's the point, isn't it? Beautifully filmed though and a great soundtrack too. I wouldn't even attempt to read Ulysses! I have watched Apocalypse Now several times and particularly like the Redux version.

But seriously, if you haven't seen "On the Waterfront", "Chinatown" or "Some Like It Hot", you really should. They are all excellent movies.

I've not read Ulysses, so I can't make that comparison. Some like it hot: Charming. Monroe is good. Funny in places but nowhere near, say, Monte Python. Chinatown: Archetypal private detective movie, probably better than the rest. Nah, I'll stick with Seven Samurai. Apocalypse now: Good, but takes a while to get to the point.

I found it pretty unwatchable and usually give up halfway through. Much prefer the book or the Hearts of Darkness documentary.
