Looking over my film collection recently, I realised there are some films I’ve been holding onto for way too long! For starters, there’s the VHS tape of Peter Jackson’s Meet the Feebles (1989) that I borrowed from my New Zealand flatmate; the unreturned copy of Heathers (1989) that’s probably still accruing library fines; The Rules of Attraction (2002) DVD that was loaned to me after a second (and last) date; the copy of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) that I borrowed from a girl at school (who also just happened to be going through a Johnny Depp phase at that time); and the Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) DVD I accidentally (on purpose) forgot to give back after a bad break-up.
Anyone else checked their collection lately?

QAGOMA is the only Australian art gallery with purpose-built facilities dedicated to film and the moving image. The Australian Cinémathèque at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) provides an ongoing program of film and video that you’re unlikely to see elsewhere, offering a rich and diverse experience of the moving image, showcasing the work of influential filmmakers and international cinema, rare 35mm prints, recent restorations and silent films with live musical accompaniment on the Gallery’s Wurlitzer organ originally installed in Brisbane’s Regent Theatre in November 1929.

Winona Ryder is still my favorite.
Especially I liked her role in Dracula and alien 4.
