My mother buys DVDs second hand for cheap and usually when she shows me them I groan and say I don't want to watch that. What surprises me is some of my favourite films have turned out to be the ones she picked up and I dreaded watching. Two she recently got were The Pianist and City of Angels. I like them both a lot. The Pianist while quite horrible in parts makes me feel more content with my own lot in life and to see there is good in the world. City of Angels is beautiful and while at times sad it's thought provoking and romantic.
