Yeah I wasn't sure about that one, was looking to add more horror titles to my initial collection, thought that'd be decent.

I think you should replace it with like the person above me said "The Devil's Rejects", The Descent, 28 weeks later, or 30 days of night.

+1 for 30 Days of Nights. One missed call isn't worth a buy.

In my review of 'One Missed Call' I had this to say...

Quote:
I would have rather spent my hour and a half humouring a telemarketer trying to pedal European backpacking trips through some of the most remote hostels on the planet!
And this...

Quote:
Avoid this title like the plague. Be it the Blu-ray version OR the DVD release. As the Blu-ray offers nothing good in the way of a movie, poor video quality, good audio quality that is pointless without the afore mentioned elements to back it up, and no extra features whatsoever to help in trying to explain the meaning of this travesty, I can’t imagine that the DVD has much to offer either. There is nothing in it to be gained by viewers. It’s not even worth renting.

I thought I Am Legend was a totally average film, but if you like it then that's fine.

I am a big Clint eastwood fan, so all of the Dirty Harry releases would be on my list.

Personally, I never purchase a film because it just happens to have excellent PQ & AQ, the main criteria is that I like the film, for example Beowulf has been recommended for PQ & AQ, but I have never seen it so would never purchase it.

Why don't you rent a few on the list and make your list from those.

Agree with this assessment. All of the films you ordered are really good, but One Missed Call is pretty bad.
