When the films drop below £1 (last of the big spenders eh?) i order them. Dark Nature and Molly Hartley were two of these.

My reason for doing this was to try and discover new films as picking decent ones is pretty difficult.

That's a good strategy. Even if it's awful, you don't feel too cheated after only having spent a pound.

In the case of Molly Hartley - an ok film, the strategy worked perfectly. I'll watch it again sometime. I was probably lucky to be in the right mood for it. It was kinda' like Mean Girls with added Satanism.

All excellent or really good films – I can't vouch for The Vow as I haven't seen it (honest!).

It's a sweet film and I'm a big girl at heart so I love all this soppy stuff and on top of that I'm pretty much in love with Rachel McAdams so I'll watch anything with her in regardless of how crap it is. Luckily she hasn't been in a bad film yet, that I've seen anyway

Some really good titles on there, especially Ides of March which is a great film, and Crazy Heart I liked a lot as well - like a companion film to Tender Mercies. The older Jeff Bridges gets the more interesting he is to watch. I'd imagine Sam Peckinpah if was making movies today, Jeff Bridges would be in them. And Maggie Gyllenhaal is just fantastic...
