While not exactly what I had in mind for the “List-Mash” column, I suppose this announcement qualifies. I am selling the majority of my DVD collection, for several reasons, really. They are available on Amazon Marketplace, and I am slowly and steadily adding titles to the list of those for sale. And, better yet, they are slowing and steadily disappearing. If you have interest of questions about a title that’s listed (or one that’s not), please let me know.

Watch this space for some of my thoughts about the best 2009 films I have come across so far. However, the Mishmash is certainly not confined to new releases, and I haven’t made it into my local cinemas to see nearly enough of the new films that have sufficiently piqued my interest. That’s where you come in. Use the comment section below suggest the 1, 2, or 20 films that make the top of your list of films released in cinemas since the first of the year.
