Hey Maureen We subscribed to Film Movement in its earliest years...it was a lot cheaper back then.
I've found the films really amazing, for the most part. Small, indie, off the beaten track, foreign and domestic, and generally wonderful. I like the fact that many of these discs also include cool short films. That said: I think the pricing is a bit high and I also think that without concerted publicity and "chatting-up" many of the titles received will never be used... gary handman > 1.
