Looking back at the collection of films I got from my year or so with Love Film I’d say there are quite a number of films in there I would have never have seen otherwise. Many were very good, quite a number very random – owing to my lack of knowledge of film due large parts of my life without a TV, and a few stinkers.

But … having left Love Film (for no good reason), I have been picking up most of my films from local charity shops in the video section – between 25p to £1 a shot. And after a year I’m still finding films I haven’t seen that are worth watching. There are a lot of films (bad ones) that come up again and again, but nearly always there’s one or two that are worth watching. Maybe if I’d had a TV for more of my life I wouldn’t think this … but for now …

I did hear one argument … I asked what advantages DVD had over video … the only response ‘you dont have to rewind them’ … for me the quality isn’t so important, the quantity and diversity of film produced on video that now nobody wants and just offloads in bulk – films from the mid 90′s back to the 50′s – thats a lot of film in video format …

… so for now Love Film I’m not coming back … British Heart Foundation wins the day …
