Until quarantine lets up, I'm good any Saturday/Sunday, and weeknights/afternoons. Just need the heads up for day/time.

I'm cool with this pick. I voted for a Stuart Gordon film, but only because I need to see more of his movies. April Fools Day is an excellent choice. I rented this with my mowing the grass money when it came out. It's a sentimental movie for me.

Nah, I'm good renting it for 3.99/hd. I actually haven't seen it, and don't really like to own digitally anyway.

It's not really one that got brought up much (at least when I'm around). Never had an appealing cover at the video store, so usually rented something else.

It's a classic. I haven't seen it in years. Not sure why I don't watch it more.
