I know you have at times posted films you are want. Might you start a thread of what you need? I remember you posted about "The Furies" and I remember seeing it but it's not one I taped.
This way we can keep an eye out for you.
Just a thought.
A couple of weeks ago I posted one thread in The Marketplace about some Barbara Stanwyck films I was interested in. However, the list didn't include THE FURIES because I was mainly focusing on earlier films I was missing.
But I can post a more complete list - for Babs and for others as well.
The way I collect is to focus on a handful of actors/actresses at a time, and try and collect all (or as many as possible) of their films. This helps me keep organized so that I don't get too overwhelmed.
Right now I am focusing (more or less) on Barbara Stanwyck, Kay Francis, William Powell, Myrna Loy, John Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, George O'Brien, and Joel McCrea. Of course, they are in various stages of completion. For example, I'm really close on Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Kay Francis and Barbara Stanwyck...and really only starting on the Barrymores and George O'Brien.
Using this method, I have rounded up all the existing films of Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, Rudolph Valentino and Ronald Colman. It keeps me focused and organized...and it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I find those last, hard to locate gems.
Of course, I am interested in and trade for other films besides just the folks I am currently 'focused' on. But in terms of trying to locate the more rare titles and satisfy my completionist streak, I can only keep track of a few actors/actresses at a time.
But yeah...I would be happy to post a more complete wish-list. I've only traded with a couple of folks on this board...but I'm always looking for people to trade with - especially people who share my standards of quality.
