I know I've mentioned my film subscription before, but I must mention it again. I've just had a look at my list of films rented since I joined Lovefilm at the beginning of July 2007 and it is an absolutely MASSIVE list.

I have rented 156 films in the last 15 months, of which I have watched all but 10 of them. Those ten having arrived at the wrong time to be appreciated and noted to re-order in the future.

I only ever intended to keep my subscription going for a few months, maybe til the spring, yet I have found a whole new world out there. If I had bought each film I have seen at the sale price of £5 each I would've spent a stupid £780. Instead I've spent about £240 in fees.

And the range of films I've seen has been something else entirely, from the weird Delicatessen to the cheesy The Marine, downright awful Sunshine to the moving Little Miss Sunshine, I've seen comedys, war films (from Japanese, Algerian, French, Korean and other perspectives instead of Hollywood interpretation), oldies newbies, classics.

It really has broadened my film viewing horizon. I still wouldn't call myself a film buff, good job too as I can't return the films quicker than 10 a month, but I have snippets of many stored in my head.

Ten films a month may not be that much if you watch a lot of films on telly, but we do not. My hubby is a film buff and has a large collection and this has been a way of watching stuff together.

Our list is now a living growing thing. Currently 87 titles hold my attention, waiting to be posted to me, so I frantically devour films. It's great. If anyone else fancies trying the film worlds exotica in the same frenzied way, I can give you the code to a 30 day free trial of lovefilm instead of the 14 days advertised on their site. All you have to do is remember to cancel before the end of the month, or at least drop to the minimum package of £4.99 a month.

You know where I am.
