Not by choice, but I have been away from CH for a while now. Just getting ready to sign up for my first couple of accounts in about a year.

What I would like to do is order 6 packs (or 7) of enrollments that are all in the same genre. I am looking to anyone for suggestions. I am looking for any and all genres (e.g. action, comedy, foreign, classics, war). And please feel free to recommend some not so common genres/movies. Perhaps "overlooked" as a genre, or an enrollment package of movies all having the same director or actor to get a sense of their style or development through their careers.

I'm just looking to have a little fun with my enrollments and maybe discover a few (or several) films I may otherwise not have considered.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. - Just curious - is CH carrying Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

Look in the anime/foreign thread you should find some good selections there.

You could pick up a whole anime series like Kiddy Grade.

Get a Star Trek Enrollment:
Star Trek 1-7 2 Disc CE/DCs

Fufill with a season of Deep Space Nine

How about British TV Mysteries:

You could get Poirot 1-6 (usually relatively expensive) starring David Suchet.

Or you could get (in a similar vein) the five Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries (39.95 retail each) starring Ian Carmichael.

Only if that's your, um, cup of tea.

I just did a Doctor Who set with each of the first six Doctors since I found they have eight titles available for enrollment.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth (Hartnell)
Tomb of the Cybermen (Troughton)
Carnival of Monsters (Pertwee)
Talons of Weng Chiang (Tom Baker) This is one I was really wanting and can't find for less than $27 anywhere. Plus at a regular CH club price of $32.95, it's a prime enrollment candidate
Resurrection of the Daleks (Davison)
Vengence on Varos (Colin Baker)


The other two titles they have for enrollment are The Aztecs (Hartnell) and Spearhead from Space (Pertwee's first appearance as The Doctor)

Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep 'em coming.

I will take a look out the foreign/anime thread. Never seen any of the Doctor Who films, so I will look into those. And Bristish TV mysteries. I would definitely never have thought of those.

Thanks again for the replies. I look forward to hearing more.

How about getting an enrollment package with all movies starring Ben Affleck?

A bit off the beaten track, "Shakespeare":

I haven't seen these versions:
3526209 King Lear (1997) $19.95 (highly rated)
1951805 Othello (1996) $19.95
2832103 Macbeth (1971) $21.95 (reportedly very gory, with gratuitious nudity)
3216108 The Merchant of Venice (2001) $21.95
3238607 Antony & Cleopatra (1974) $14.95

Lizard,
Bridge on the River Kwai: LE isn't available anymore, I tried getting it a couple weeks back over the phone and it was a no go.

Legolas

Ran and Das Boot seem to be popular foreign film enrollments.

Have you seen Go or Phone Booth?

Thanks for the update. I deleted it from my list.

Chess: Thanks for the link to that old post! That was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. There were some very funny/creative ideas on that one. Of course the last post on that thread was a couple of years old, so there must be some fresh ideas out there still.

Lizard: Thanks for your suggestions, I think I am going to do a classics enrollment. Some you mentioned have been on my wish list for a while, but a few others I hadn't thought about.

Legolas: Have Das Boot and Go. I haven't heard of Ran so I'll check it out.

Everyone else: keep the theme/genre suggestions coming and if not, definitely check out the old thread along these lines just for some good laughs (look for the phone order enrollment rec.)
