There are 6 movies this week plus Housecarl's classic choices (starting post #14).
I recommend watching or saving these soon.
I have simplified the format of this thread and removed the movie posters.
This thread on MAIN has the info about the movies and is the place for discussion about them.
However, all of the movie and download links for my movie choices are located in a separate,
members-only, thread in the MEDIA CENTER at this link:

This should help protect the source of the movies and keep them available longer.
