Great films can elicit a wide range of reactions, like projectile weeping, hearty laughter followed by rabid growling, and relentless groveling with the monotone chant of “All hail Emperor Tom Hanks.” Experience the gamut of human emotion with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get a six-month membership to the Film of the Month Club at Film Movement.

With a model that has received the approval of film guru Roger Ebert and city-life website Daily Candy, Film Movement's Film of the Month Club chooses an acclaimed independent or foreign movie each month, then sends a DVD to its subscribers—before its released in theaters. There are no late fees with the Film of the Month Club, as each DVD is yours to keep in your personal collection or to use as an uber-geeky engagement ring. Film Movement culls its artistically crafted films straight from the most prominent film festivals, such as Cannes, Sundance, and Tribeca. Past releases include the SXSW Film Festival favorite Helena From the Wedding, a romantic-comedy starring Gillian Jacobs and Melanie Lynskey, and Illegal, the Cannes Festival-winning thriller from Belgium. With Film Movement, cinema-buffs can keep track of the latest in indie tours de force while casual movie fans can have something to watch other than Pier 1 Import cashier-training videos.
