You're missing the little thing under every HN post title that says "Points". This one has over 40.

  From the guidelines: What to Submit Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Unless there's something I'm completely missing I don't see how this submission falls into the above category. edit: The question is partly serious: I've never owned a television, and haven't seen a movie for more than two years, so there could easily be something I'm totally oblivious to. It just seems like a post that would belong on Reddit.

    I don't have a television either, haven't owned one for over two decades but my PC plays movies just fine. No ads either, I really like that.

    To me, this list doesn't seem out of place here. Here's my stab at why: I've seen a few of these movies, and if the rest of them are in the same vein: they make you work to figure out what's happening in the film; and they sometimes mess with your perception of the world around you afterward. They are intellectually gratifying to watch.

      OK, maybe I'm just totally off base then:-) Sorry if I am.

        You aren't. I don't get it either.
