Description:

I love movies! and if you are like me and you love movies, your DVD movie collection is huge! I am sure we all have some old DVD movie that we have not watched in forever and are willing to part with. If you are also like me, you have bought the same title twice by accident. Oops!

For this swap you will have one partner only. Go through your DVD collection and select one movie that is in good condition, no scratches, and send it to your partner.

Now I know we all have our own personal taste when it comes to movies, BUT, I think half the fun with this swap is to see what someone will select for you from their own personal collection.

So come on folks, let's get out of our comfort zone and be totally surprised and make sure you actually watch your movie when you get it. If you hate it that much you can re-swap it or donate it to the library!

NOW, I would suggest that you send "PG" or "PG-13" rated movies. We do not want anyone to be offended. If you do not mind an "R" rating (some are rated "R" because of swearing or nudity) then post a note that "R" ratings are o.k. BUT NO NASTY MOVIES!

I want this to be a fun experience and one where people will watch a movie that they would not normally select for themselves. Please do not send junk movies and remember, the movie should be in good condition, NO SCRATCHES and in the ORIGINAL case, NO BURNED COPIES. If you cannot meet those requirements then do not sign up for this swap.

I am making this a U.S.A and Canada swap only. Newbies with a fully completed profile and those with a rating over 3.5 may participate. Email me if uncertain.

REMEMBER for participating in this swap I want you to be surprised and get out of your comfort zone! Try something new and have fun. Happy swapping!

Awesome! I'm in!

Oohh... this sounds interesting! Just a movie? Hmm... well since it's just one partner and one movie, that means a tough choice! This could really be a lot of fun!

user8406 05/21/2007 #

Dumb question is nobody minds: What is an "A" rating? Of course I'm familiar with "PG", "PG-13", "R", "G", but I'll admit to not being familiar with "A". Given the context, I take it that means something "family friendly"? Just double-checking so that when I get my partner and make my selection it will e appropriate and (hopefully) genuinely enjoyable.

For me personally, I"m okay with anything rated "R" or better if the "R" movie is a good one (you be the judge, of course) storywise and not rated as such simply to be loaded upon loaded with excessively graphic content. But beyond that, I'm a big girl (39), and I'm not easily offended, though I do believe in resepectfulness. (I think you get the idea, right?) :-) As long as YOU my partner feel it's a decent movie and worth watching, I'm sure I'll be mroe than pleased. :-)

And a note to whomever I'll send to, I believe firmly in reciprocating the same respect to you that I'm sure my partner sending to me will show to me. I want you to be able to enjoy what I choose and be able to feel respected by me. (And don't worry, I don't have even a single "nasty movie" in my collection, so even if you wanted one of those kinds of DVDs, I'm sorry, but I don't have any to offer.)

Does this post qualify me for signing up here? I agree with all the terms of the swap and will have loads of fun seeing how it turns out. :-) Great swap idea, btw. :-)

CanadianGal72 05/21/2007 #

ViveItalia thanks for signing up for the swap and I am glad that you like the idea! As for the "A" rating, I guess I am a little outdated and the new rating is "PG-13" growing up in Canada we had the "A" rating, which means adult accompaniment. I will edit it to read "PG-13".

As for the "Nasty" movies, I do not own any either, BUT I put that as a just in case, cause heck, you never know!

Enjoy the swap!

electrogeek77 05/23/2007 #

I'm absolutely fine with any rating, and with classic films that don't have ratings. Especially if they're obscure or strange somehow.

summerivy 05/30/2007 #

I love R moves ( you know Horror only not nasty adult movies lol ) But I am fine with PG and PG-13 also

I got really excited when I saw this swap, because I love movies of all ratings and genres. I have an interesting collection of films and look forward to sharing with my partner.

urquhart 06/ 8/2007 #

For whoever ends up drawing me as their giftee, 'R' ratings are OK with me. My taste in films is very broad and I like lesser-known human interest stories as much as blockbusters. I will accept foreign films as well.

Thanks! Judy

SheriFaerie 06/ 8/2007 #

I hosted a swap like this, and it was really fun, so I thought I'd sign up for this one as well. I'm glad I got in on time before the signup date passed. As for what types of movies and ratings I prefer... Any ratings are fine, but I esp. love horror, comedy, thrillers and independant movies (like Sundance film festival ones). I DO NOT enjoy romantic comedies or foreign films. Thanks to my partner in advance!

Mel 06/ 9/2007 #

Remember, though, that this is a 'you get what you get' swap, so no fair rating a "3" if by some chance you get a romantic comedy! :) (Not from me, but maybe that's all that someone else has. You never know).

CanadianGal72 06/ 9/2007 #

Thanks Mel...TRUE! That is the point, to be surprised. Your partner will get an automatic 5 when you receive any movie! :) Enjoy!

user8885 06/10/2007 #

Can we put up a small list of potential movies or genre's we would like to have? I have recently started buying the previously viewed DVD's because @ 4 for $20 or 3 for $20 they cost the same as renting, so I'd really like to be able to send something I know my partner would like if being given some options is allowed.

user8885 06/10/2007 #

oh! "R" rating is absolutely fine by me :)

SheriFaerie 06/10/2007 #

Not to worry, I understand I will get whatever my partner is willing to part with out of their collection, and I will give a fair rating whether it's one I like or not. I'm sorry if stating I don't like romantic comedies or foreign films seems a little too discriminating or picky, but I wanted to state my preferences on the off chance my partner has the perfect movie for me. If they don't, don't worry. I'm really not that picky, and I always enjoy a surprise! Thanks again.

user8885 06/11/2007 #

Haha Sheri, you could go into your profile and say which movies you realllly want ;) or that are on your "to buy" list. I wish everyone could do that cause i sure don't want anyone to be disappointed with my swap - even though they probably will be without some choices as a guide. :(

user8813 06/11/2007 #

I have absolutely no problem with R-rated movies - they are the bulk of my collection - but don't worry, whoever I get, I can find something for you, be it Disney or John Waters! :oP

denisemichelle 06/11/2007 #

I'm fine with R-rated movies too!

CanadianGal72 06/11/2007 #

You guys! The entire point of this swap is to be SURPRISED! SURPRISED! SURPRISED!!! :)

Mel 06/12/2007 #

I agree!!!! I hope no one feels obligated to go out and buy a movie for their partner because they're afraid of the reaction if it's something they didn't specifically request!

The whole original point of 'swapping' included an element of surprise - let's not forget that! It's more than half the fun!

That being said, whoever has me, I shall not be disappointed with any movie, so long as it's not 'burned' or illegally copied! :)

Mel 06/12/2007 #

Vive Italia,

Your package is on its way - I included a letter about the movie and some other small surprises. I hope you like them! :)

Cheers,

Mel

CanadianGal72 06/12/2007 #

denisemichelle: your movie is on its way!!! ENJOY!

user8829 06/15/2007 #

rated R is ok... and i lovvvvvvvvvvvvve horror!

user8885 06/15/2007 #

Cinda.. your flick (as well as it's attached silly finding) is now trodding down the postal highway.

you're well over 3000 miles from me, so it may take a week - but i hope not!

CanadianGal72 06/18/2007 #

Hi Everyone:

Just a reminder that the deadline to mail your movie is this Friday the 22nd and it is fast approaching.

Once you have received yours, please do not forget to rate your partner and thank them. I find it rude when people receive a swap and never rate or thank the giver.

Have a great day!

Blessings,

Canadian Gal/Sarah

Keekee 06/20/2007 #

Miss Five your movie is on its way! It should be there in a couple of days. Enjoy :)

user8631 06/20/2007 #

user8885 08/11/2007 #

The link of a movie pasted here is terrific, and I am glad you shared this with us. If anyone want to have a look at it they should definitely search 123movies for info. This may encourage others to know this .
