As the solstice nears and the days get shorter, the time is right to snuggle down and watch movies. Our A/V team at Coe Library has been working to improve our collection of DVDs and they recently opened the whole collection for browsing in the basement. Some of my favorites are below, but stop by and take a look at our always growing collection of movies and TV programs.
Spending the holidays with your dysfunctional family? Check out Six Feet Under or The Sopranos and look at your family with newly grateful eyes.
Going to cocktail parties with film snobs this winter? Brush up on the Criterion Collection and the Film Movement series and wow those snobs with your knowledge.
Need to entertain the kids once public schools go on Winter Break? We have all the Disney films available for checkout.
Can’t wait for the next installment of Twilight? Now is the right time to meet a different kind of vampire lover, like slayer Buffy Summers.
What other awesome DVDs am I forgetting that you’ve borrowed from Coe?
Don’t forget we have holiday films, too!
For all the Russophiles out there, we recently added the classic Russian New Year’s film The Irony of Fate (Ironiia sudby) and many other great Russian-language movies. Most have English subtitles! One simple way to find a list is to search the keywords russian dvd in the catalog.
They also have the totally addicting series Lost and just enough time to get caught up before season 5 starts on Jan. 21!
My little sister goes to UW and showed me your blog, this is too funny. I wish my school 1) had such a good collection and 2) blogged about it. Maybe I should transfer….
