I've got Daughters of Darkness and Sensuela downloaded so if you watch one, I'll join you in due course.
Thanks for your generous offer, but I don't plan to watch any of them soon.
The list is just a reminder for myself.
I also don't really have the time and opportunity to watch films I'm interested in since a couple of years already, and I don't think this will change in the near future.

Haha, it's not particularly generous, just think it's fun to watch movies roughly at the same time as someone and discuss them - I miss that about the cinema experience. Sorry to hear that you don't have time for movies these days.
Yeah, I know that many enjoy such undertakings. I for myself like to watch films more on my own and am not too keen on discussions per se.
Also never was a huge fan of the cinema experience (and never liked socializing with people (who weren't friends) there). The only reason I love to go to cinemas, is to see films in their original formats, e.g. on 35mm, 8mm, 16mm, 70mm, etc. cause I don't have that possibility at home. If it weren't for that (and hanging out with firends or loved ones), I probably wouldn't actually like to go to the cinema.
But it's really bad, that I don't have time for movies (or rather movies of my choosing) these days. I have a young kid and partner living with myself, and when I'm not at work (roughly 10 to 11 hours every day - including the journey to and fro) I have so much else to do, and when I watch something I cannot simply put on a film I like and concentrate on it the way I like, but have to watch stuff both can agree on (which has certainly little to do with my preferences, and none whatsoever with mine at any given moment, which is in my opinion the basis of a healthy cinephilia: choosing at any given moment the right film one wants to watch at that moment). SO I'm currently on hold with any cinephile activities except reading books on films and film history and stuff. This will probably continue for a few years, but I'm looking forward to the day the kid(s) are older and my partner works more and I less.
