What a treasure trove. If it hadn't been for Netflix and the usps slowing down their service I would never have checked them out. I had heard of getting movies from libraries, and finally checked them out online yesterday, did some cursory searches and drove out to get a card. Now I see they have almost 500 Criterion Collection dvds that should keep me busy. I already have my queue maxed out at 26. Only 7 out at a time, and you have them for 7 days. Sweet.

Snowpiercer is a trip, and got me started on Bong Joon-ho's films.

Two of Ken Burns' works:

Jazz (10 discs)
National Parks: American's Best Idea (6 discs)

For series consisting of multiple discs, it doesn't get any better than a good library...
