    Judging by your other selections, I suggest "The Salton Sea". There are others that are at the tip of my brain, but I can't quite remember them. And let's not start talking about piracy now, don't want anybody to get banned.

    It's not needed mate please. I mean, it goes without saying if you get me ;)

    As for BB selection - looks pretty shitty tbh. No anime for a start. Im still trying to find somewhere that's a little "alternative".

    edit: i love google
    edit2: i dont love google :grr: why is an AMERICAN site adveritising on google.co.UK??? I thought i had struck gold! :waah:

    Best British film in years. Superb lead role.

    Not only that but a good selecting of eastern, european and alternative films. Every-single british DVD rental place ive looked at has the same old ****, same old "popularist" selection.. yardy yardy yar. It's ok for the americans to have alternative tastes but not us, no. :duh: :rolleyes:

    but their customer service is v.good.....an their sending out an reciving email notifications is a handy an informative but the only thing i didnt like was their "libeary(sp?)" as it was verry messy an not very helpfull....but overall their service is v.good.

    p.s. try "motorcycle diarys" its a top film! an they had plenty of great foreign films avail..but bindi the anime thing is best left for "downloading"

    Equilibrium is a good film but it's a bit corny at times and just like in some Dr. Who films you have people with objects/clothes which belong in this decade rather than in the future.
