Bandwidth limited -- which films do you recommend?

I've downloaded most the smaller ones, but my poor little 'net connection can't handle all the larger ones -- I calculated that it'll take two weeks to download everything. :eek:

What do you recommend as being worth the download?

(BTW: Excellent job, everyone!)
 
Wow, do you have any internet cafes there? There are quite a few that are pretty decent so its hard to wittle them down to just some.
 
I'd rather you randomly download films than have someone offer a subjective opinion that some films are not worth the time to download. Unless everyone wants to go back to the dreaded randomizer, I don't want to see a big spread in how many evaluations each film receives. If you put yourself in the filmmaker's shoes, I think you'll understand my thinking on this.
 
I agree Barry,

Everyone worked really hard on this so we should all give each other a chance and watch everyones films. Or at least just keep randomly downloading.
 
I sympathize that you want to make sure you get to see all the really good ones, but, hey, you can always get the DVD, right? I'm sure even with limited resoures you'll get to see all the good ones.
 
Definately try and utilize an internet cafe, or library. If that is not an option, download manager and computer on all night is your answer. :)
 
Wow, kind of surprised you asked that question, even more surprised you'd think people would recommend some over others ... it'd be CRUSHING to the film makers that were left out, and totally unfair for the intended process.

Besides, from what I can see, all the films are nearly the same size, within a few MB of each other, unless they're WELL below the 6min max.
 
Good points. I wasn't thinking about the contest.

I'll download (and vote on) what I can, then get what I missed after the contest is over.
 
If you know someone with a faster connection (family member, friend, etc) or can get to a library or internet cafe with broadband, download them and burn them to multiple CDs or DVD.
 
I'm overseas, and Internet is about 20 cents/meg everywhere. I have a "unlimited" DSL connection at home, but it's capped at 32 mbits -- about 3K a second. :(
