I get most my films from cex , charity shops , 2nd shops and places similar , I can't afford to pay £10 and above for a film, its only lately I've bought so many films, I'm lucky if I spend £20 a week .
And I'm defiantly buying more than I can watch I can honestly say my to watch pile is easily 100+ ..and the ones I do watch (well try) half time I fall asleep because I'm tired due to getting up every day at 4:45

Sounds very similar to me and my lifestyle

One purchase. Now i'm 'between jobs' my purchases are going to plummet somewhat. Weirdly I've been online less as I've been out and about enjoying a bit of freedom...

Yesterday, I had time to watch The Addams Family, four episodes of Veep, Tour de Pharmacy and a couple of episodes of Baywatch.

That's a film with a running time of under 100 minutes and under four hours of TV, making that day the bit of an oddity because of how much time the TV was on – I would usually watch much less than that!

Picked up another old Hammer classic from Final Cut.
Should be well worth watching if it's anything like PARANOIAC, and SCREAM OF FEAR.
Just need them to release THE SNORKEL next.

Bit of time to kill, so I thought I'd pop into CEX and found this for a pound, only seen the Hammer remake so I'm looking forward to checking it out

It's so good! A really effective vampire movie! KILLER soundtrack as well which as a guitarist I know you'll like.

I've been meaning to check it out for ages, I liked Let Me In and have since read the book, so it was a no brainier really, especially for such a low price

What he said.

I've read the book and have seen both.
Enjoy. This has one scene in particular that always catches me out

I'm a pro at ALT-Tab while I'm at work haha, although sometimes my boss does sneak up on my and I'm mid flow, but yes, most of the time I'm on here I'm actually at work. I also have no idea how Treb does it, but as he's said he doesn't watch/play the majority of what he gets and trades it back for something else.

I'm out from 8am to 6pm every day, get home, decompress, have something to eat, potter about, spend some time with the flatmate and my other half, it's 9:30-10pm before I know it, it's too late to start a film in case I fall asleep so I end up watching a bit of a TV show or some docs, or extra features on my BDs rather than the main feature

Weekends I'm more successful, and if I have a week off work (I get 7 weeks holidays!) I can watch 2-3 films each day.
