I own Enduring Love, The Girl on the Bridge, The Virgin Suicides and You Can Count On Me. All excellent movies that I have watched many times.

Have you ever seen all of these movies, then?

Par Classics has to start from scratch. It's been around for 6 years and has yet to have a picture that breaks through to the mainstream. The one title that came the closest was the one with the widest release -- "Hustle and Flow" -- and even that was only semi-wide.
What Viacom has on its hands is another Sony Classics: Big on artistry, heavy on hype, short on aggressiveness.

The Virgin Suicides and The Girl on the Bridge was excellent movies. Some of the others on there ain't too bad either. The Singing Detective however, was pretty atrocious.
