underdog	post #1  on July 17, 2007 - 10:54 AM PDT   Reposting this from the /central home page: These are the most often turned, or rented, discs in GreenCine's 5 year history. You probably won't be surprised by all of these, but perhaps a few... City of God Battle Royale (Special Edition) American Splendor Dead Man Lost in Translation Dark Days Eraserhead Spirited Away Kill Bill vol.1 Bottle Rocket Now then... see if you can guess some of the titles that are in the next 10 after these, the next 10 all-time renting DVDs at GreenCine.
underdog	post #2  on July 17, 2007 - 12:13 PM PDT   Hints: One of the next 10 on the list would like fries with that, and another has the last line "Silencio..."

I'm going to guess Kill Bill vol. 2 is in there somewhere.
artifex	post #4  on July 17, 2007 - 9:41 PM PDT   possibly from among: battle of algiers, tin drum, the incredibles, hmmm crash, hotel rwanda, million dollar baby, little miss sunshine, da vinci code, sideways, 1900, napoleon dynamite?
woozy	post #5  on July 17, 2007 - 10:11 PM PDT   Ghost Dog?

It's definitely up there somewhere though. "battle of algiers, tin drum, the incredibles, hmmm crash, hotel rwanda, million dollar baby, little miss sunshine, da vinci code, sideways, 1900, napoleon dynamite?" All good guesses. Little Miss Sunshine is the only one in the next 20, though. I'll look at the rest of the list after that to see if any of the others are there somewhere. And now, to be a tease (but not on purpose), I'm going out of town, camping for a couple of days. On Friday night I'll post the rest of the list! Keep those guesses coming 'til then. Cheers.
DLeonard	post #8  on July 18, 2007 - 12:45 AM PDT   If these aren't in the top 20 I imagine they will be before too long: Pan's Labyrinth Children of Men Really surprised to see "Dark Days" in there.

woozy	post #10  on July 18, 2007 - 2:44 PM PDT   Broken Flowers, The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tanenbaums, Ma Vie en Rose, Mystery Train, Princess Monake or however the hell you spell it.
artifex	post #11  on July 18, 2007 - 7:12 PM PDT   Aristocrats and The Dreamers. Chris Guest movies. :)
DLeonard	post #12  on July 18, 2007 - 8:25 PM PDT   Eternal Sunshine has gotten be there. I'm also thinking Audition.
MrMiscreant	post #13  on July 20, 2007 - 5:39 PM PDT   hmm...I surprised there isn't any TV in there. In the top 20 maybe...I can't believe The Sopranos or Six Feet Under or something didn't make it.

I'd expect anime, too, since that is one of the crown jewels for many who join. I wonder how the genres stack up, percentage-wise. It would be really interesting, for example, if action films beat foreign language and documentaries and drama.

Also TV are probably still a minority to specific movie titles. >I'd expect anime, too, since that is one of the crown jewels for many who join. Well, Spirited Away. There is so darn *many* anime titles. I imagine an anime series is in the top 20 but I have no idea which one. Um, isn't underdog back from camp yet.

Oh well, I have some movies to watch and plenty of Vodka in the freezer. Teehee. *ponders what Whoppers choc. milk sauce, milk and vodka would taste like* I hate vodka. ._. Hey wooz, if you gimme ya numba, I'll drunkenly call you tonight and then break my phone. Happens every time! XD My guesses: ummm...Howl's Moving Castle and Metropolis? Some Monty Python flick, Seven Samurai, Pulp Fiction? Soylent Green, Casablanca, Citizen Kane? Ghost in the Shell? Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks?

Give it back! I love vodka. I had to improvise a white russian with rum and kalua and milk. Not bad if you use enough ice. Gad, I'm just glad I wasn't desperate enough to try a white russian with gin. > Hey wooz, if you gimme ya numba, I'll drunkenly call you tonight and then break my phone. Happens every time! XD > My number is 42 by 20 by 17 and my legs are 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 11. Last time I broke my phone I had to have it in a cast for five point two six seven weeks. It still hurts during solar eclipses.
underdog	post #20  on July 22, 2007 - 3:30 PM PDT   Sorry I'm late! I almost didn't make it back from camping. And I sort of didn't want to come back from camping. ;-) I'll post the answers first thing in the AM (have the full list at the office). Thanks for chiming in and hanging in. I'm surprised no one guessed The Adventures of Pluto Nash, that's always been one of our big renters.
