Help me with my movie selections


Sad to say, but I really haven't rented many movies in the past 5 years. I have a large collection of laser discs and some DVD's. I am using an excellent DAC & headphone rig for my sound system.

I enjoy a good screen play with an involving script, strong character development, actors that do more than just collect a paycheck, an interesting plot with twists, or a movie that is bizarre and out of the ordinary. In short, it doesn't have to be an Academy Award nominee, but something more than the typical Hollywood "formula" movie for the brain-dead.

Like yourself, I really haven't been much of a movie buff the last few years. As I've gotten into films again, I've found the website metacritic.com is a great resource to read many professional reviews of movies of all sorts, mainstream and less well known. Many great discoveries to be found there.
I agree with Jgiacalo about Rome. I think that series is superb, well worth watching if you are into historical drama.
