Renting films from a library

    In my never ending quest to reduce the amount of money I spend I was wondering if any of you get movies from a library. If so, which library is best? I'd be especially interested in libraries that stock DVDs. If I get of my ass I'll take a look at the library in the Ilac Centre this weekend but maybe someone can tell me before I go whether the place is any good or not.

    The Ilac has an ok selection of videos if you're looking for old movies. They have a good selection of Hitchcock movies(the carlton collection I think). They have the obvious old movies too like Casablanca , Dr Zhivago, Gone With the Wind etc. I think they have a couple of Kurosawa movies too ( I got Throne of Blood there) and a couple of Spielberg movies(The Color Purple and Schindlers List I think). Apart from that they haven't got much and if you're looking for new or even recent movies you're out of luck.

    No, it's the old ones I'm interested in. Especially foreign old ones - Bergman, Kurosawa, Renoir.....

    Thanks for the info about the Ilac. I didn't get around to going there today. Do they stock DVDs at all, or is it just video tapes? Those video tapes might be a little worn by now.

    Ilac definetly has Bergmann as I remember getting out Såsom i en spegel and
    Sjunde inseglet myself once!

    The Bergman stuff was on VHS but I also got out All About Eve too and that was on DVD. All played fine even the video stuff.

    Hey I'm going to DCU this year. Are the films available to people in any course or just media studies or something?

    Anyway about dvds in the Ilac, it's mostly just videos, they have around 5 dvds. All the videos I've taken out have been fine though. The library in Cabra have an ok selection of videos too. Same sort of stuff really, but they have a couple of Kurosawas that Ilac haven't got and so on (I got Rashomon there, which the Ilac haven't got)

    Sounds great :D Also, is it a bad thing that I'm now looking forward to visiting this library to get some dvds more than I'm looking forward to going to the college to do my course? ;)
