These are all the movies I've rented this year - with an included bonus from Amazon Prime (South of 8). I didn't include a couple international films because I was only acquiring them for a film class I was taking.

- DirectorJeff NimoyStarsLex LangNikki BoyerBrian DonovanA washed-up voice director succumbs to the pitfalls of small-time celebrity at an anime convention.Given the unused film idea about an anime convention, I thought this might be intriguing. It was disappointing: a low-budget and cookie cutter film with static shot cinematography, bland storytelling and no wide appeal.
- DirectorRobert ButlerStarsKurt RussellCesar RomeroJoe FlynnAt Medfield College, an accident with a donated computer gives Dexter Riley the ability to remember any knowledge learned instantly and perfectly.
- DirectorRobert ButlerStarsKurt RussellJoe FlynnHarry MorganA mailroom clerk and a chimp team up to pick hit TV shows.

- DirectorArmando IannucciStarsSteve BuscemiSimon Russell BealeJeffrey TamborMoscow, 1953. After being in power for nearly 30 years, Soviet dictator, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, takes ill and quickly dies. Now the members of the Council of Ministers scramble for power.Although this was a comedy, I didn't really laugh a single time. Probably the work of politics. The only thing from the film that has resonated with me is the Mozart piece.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsNatalie PortmanMila KunisVincent CasselNina is a talented but unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her artistic director and a seductive rival, Nina's grip on reality slips, plunging her into a waking nightmare.

- DirectorBruce BeresfordStarsRobert DuvallTess HarperBetty BuckleyA broken-down, middle-aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long-lost daughter, and tries to put his troubled life back together.
- DirectorMathieu KassovitzStarsVincent CasselHubert KoundéSaïd Taghmaoui24 hours in the lives of three young men in the French suburbs the day after a violent riot.
- DirectorDon TaylorStarsLee MarvinOliver ReedRobert CulpThree prospectors confront their ex-partner who, 15 years earlier, ran off with all the gold from their mine and they also plan to kidnap his wife.
- DirectorJames GoldstoneStarsPaul NewmanJacqueline BissetWilliam HoldenAn active volcano threatens a south Pacific island resort and its guests as a power struggle ensues between the property's developer and a drilling foreman.Underrated, much like The Swarm.
- DirectorGeorge ArchainbaudStarsIrene DunneRicardo CortezJill EsmondA young woman plots astrological revenge on schoolgirls from her past.
- DirectorPaul BartelStarsMary WoronovPaul BartelRobert BeltranA relatively boring Los Angeles couple discovers a bizarre, if not murderous, way to get funding for opening a restaurant.

- DirectorNeil BurgerStarsColin FarrellTye SheridanLily-Rose DeppA crew of astronauts on a multi-generational mission descend into paranoia and madness, not knowing what is real or not.
- DirectorGérard OuryStarsLouis de FunèsMiou-MiouSuzy DelairA bigoted Frenchman finds himself forced to impersonate a popular rabbi while on the run from a group of assassins - and the police.Underrated classic, I can't stop listening to the theme song. Most of the sight gags are derived from Funès' facial expressions and tics.
- DirectorPeter BogdanovichStarsTimothy BottomsJeff BridgesCybill ShepherdIn 1951, a group of high schoolers come of age in a bleak, isolated, atrophied North Texas town that is slowly dying, both culturally and economically.
