I've seen all but 2. I like most of them. The Puffy Chair is one of the best. Medicine for Melancholy is really good too. Cyrus is a little outside of mumblecore. Its made by the guys who made Baghead and Puffy Chair but on a much higher budget. LOL and Kissing on the Mouth are two of my very favorites done on budgets that wouldn't pay a month's rent in a lot of places.
Yeah, I've been following this group of filmmakers for a few years now. I had Joe Swanberg (Director of Hannah, LOL etc.) as a guest on my podcast recently. Another one you should add is Aaron Katz film Quiet city. He made Dance Party USA and Cold Weather
I think Quiet City was on my list but I was skeptical as it was listed as 1940. Clearly the entry is wrong though so I've added it back. Will check out your podcast too, thanks :)
I really enjoyed 'Cold Weather'. The cinematography was breathtaking at times. 'Humpday' was very good as well. I didn't care much at all for 'The Pleasure of Being Robbed'. I guess it's all personal tastes.
I added a few more films to TMDB that are on Letterboxd now. Orphans by Ry Russo Young was pretty good. One of the two main actresses in Lily Wheelwright was excellent. I looked her up to see if she was in anything else found that she died right after the film came out. Autoerotic was a Joe Swanberg/Adam Wingard collaboration from last year. Its like 4 separate stories that are losely connected. Yeast by Mary Bronstein is one of my favorites even though it has some of the most unlikable characters you'll ever see in it. I think you can watch the whole thing on IMDB
It Was Great but I Was Ready to Come Home is from Kris Swanberg. I liked this one a lot too, but I don't know that it is watchable at all. It played several festivals, but I don't know that it ever got picked up or released.
Also Open Five from Kentucker Audley which I also really liked. The website says that will be available online and on DVD starting Feb 2012. So Soon I guess.
Made this list as I'm ashamed that I have not seen a single Mumblecore film. I plan to remedy this :)
Are those all good…? :·)
Honestly I have not seen a single one of them, but it's everything I could find that was listed as part of this 'genre', so I highly doubt it :)

All but 2, that's impressive! I had that feeling about Cyrus from what I'd read, one more vote to remove it and it's gone :)

Do you know where the best (legal) place to find these films to watch is? Netflix selection is pretty slim...

Only want to add ones with posters at the moment, which counts out Orphans, but have added the rest, thanks :)
Yeah, the Orphans poster is up now. Takes about a day for changes on TMDb to register at Letterboxd
