1. I would like to join a film discussion group. I do not know where to find one. If you have gheard of a good one please do not hesitate to let me know how I could get in touch with them.
2. I am interested in films from the early 30s and 40s, but no dvd shop in my area can offer them e.g. Blackmail by Hitchcock (1929). Could you suggest where I could rent such movies?
sorry, had to go answer the phone... I buy DVDs via the internet - overall I find http://www.play.com the cheapest and very reliable. http://www.moviemail-online.co.uk are also good for less mainstream products such as old films. If you'd rather rent, have you tried your library?
Can't help you with discussion groups, though... shame they don't have them like book reading groups.
