Yes, Critical, Otto Preminger... a wonderful director, I have seen a lot of his films, they have such a gritty edge to them and of course they should especially in film noir.

I'm really into buying TV shows on DVD at the moment. Quite recently, I bought the ninth and final season of The X-Files, making my collection complete. I watch the episodes obsessively; I just can't seem to get enough of elaborate conspiracy theories, aliens, monsters, vampires, and Mulder and Scully's unmistakable but hardly ever addressed sexual chemistry. Since I love all things Chris Carter, I also bought the first season of Millennium. It's darker, gloomier and more disturbing than The X-Files but I love it and can't wait to buy the other two seasons. I'm also thinking of getting The O.C., Scrubs, Freaks and Geeks and Carnivale on DVD. Aside from the DVDs mentioned above, I already own season one of Twin Peaks (when, oh when, will the second season come out?), season 1-3 of Seinfeld, season one and two of The Office (The British version) and several seasons of The Simpsons. Am I the only one who thinks that TV series are best enjoyed on DVD? I love being able to watch as many episodes as I like back to back without being annoyed by commercial breaks.

As for movies, I usually only buy ones that I know I'll watch more than once. I'd love to have a more extensive DVD library, but I tend to stick with what I know. Consequently, my DVD collection mainly consists of David Lynch movies and old high school movies from the 1980's starring Molly Ringwald or John Cusack. I will, however, buy I Walk the Line when I find the time. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and I know that I'll watch it over and over again.

I'm in the process of replacing my vhs tapes with dvds so I just bought Explorers, Necessary Roughness and for mr. gracie The Three Stooges. He loves those. I'm torn on getting King Kong. It's the selection of the month on Columbia House, but I don't know if I want to buy it without seeing it first. I did that with Collateral and didn't watch it for a couple of months after I bought it. Not too bad especially since Mr. Cruise died at the end.
