only watch obscure movies that are nearly impossible to find

scoured the internet for two weeks trying to find a beautiful old danish movie that literally doesn’t exist online. finally found a comment on facebook that mentioned the movie, messaged the person (a sweet old lady), walked her through the process of burning her dvd into a copy and getting it processed into a digital file to send to me. It was such an archaic file type that I had to download old software that probably gave my computer viruses but it was the best movie ever and i would do it again now watching netflix feels too easy

watching old movies

okayyyy so we all live laugh and love movies here, don’t we? YESS, great. i think that, although they can sometimes be weird and uncomfortable and, at times, really really boring, it’s kinda nourishing, for lack of better term, to watch old movies! i feel like a lot of the media that’s being made today, or atleast the most widely advertised media, is really not done with the intention of making something new and better than what came before. I partake in social media and all that jazz, and sometimes there are really great things made by people today, even if they require a bit more looking for, but the feeling of watching a good OLD movie is simply unbeatable. if u wanna movie rec, ASK cause I’ve got plentyyyy 💅

physical copies of favourite movies

i fear that one day all these online movie streaming sites are going to either remove the movies i love or just eventually become obsolete to some other, newer form of movie-watching. so ive started collecting the movies i love on dvd. if i ever see one in a thrift store, it’s in my hands neooow. plus, i love having my own copy. it feels like an homage to myself.

This letterboxd list of films found online 4 Free

I need to share this list I made because it is such a blessing to me that I can just open youtube or vimeo and watch these lovely little movies. there’s a range of them like bergman, tarkovsky, polish films, art-house, weird matthew gray gubler short, experimental horror, short films from the 20’s. how fun.
