I am giving it a go. When faced between this and a 2 1/2 hours long harrowing film with subtitles, I think I know what the OH will forgive me and what he won't.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

I think I will give it a go too. I like Apollo Picadilly. That's not the reason why though. Just saw the trailer. :giggle:

Blood Simple is fantastic. Honestly they have made so many good films, sad that the one I hate is the one that sticks in my mind most. A Serious Man :evil:
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
