What about starting a Letterboxd list for this?

Cool idea, at least might give some people ideas. Added my own thoughts as I'm currently 8 months in to running all the MCU movies. I have it timed to take about a month per movie so going to take some time.

So far my 2 favorite movies are:

Persepolis:
Happens to be one of my favorite animation movie. The rendering on the e-Paper screen is stunningly beautiful.

Paperman:
Short and cute animation movie. Renders very well on the e-Paper screen.

I played "Le Voyage dans la Lune" from 1902 on it. I think old silent movies are in general good to play them in super slow on the e-paper.
Next I will try to play the monochrome version of Mad Max Fury Road.

Question - When using the random frame mode does it ever advance to the next file in the folder?

I have added
Toy Story
Back To The Future
Space Odyssey
Gravity

random-frames will give you random frames within a single video file. If you also use random-file you will get random frames and also pick a random file. You can see the code piece that controls this here. Thinking about it logically with random-frames only the script will never reach the "end" of the video since it's just grabbing a random point in the video each time. It will never know that it needs to move on to the next one. By adding random-file it will move between the files as well.

I've just set-up a 10.3 Waveshare screen and loving the images from the following B&W classics:

Citizen Kane
Casablanca
Brief Encounter
Psycho

I also have gone for 2001 A Space Odyssey - colour so some images are not as impressive on the monochrome screen.

Thanks so much for this GitHub!

I've had my player going for about 2 years now. The only problem was an SD card that went bad. On mine I enjoy:

Doctor Strangelove - great scenes
Back to the Future
2001 A Space Odyssey
One of my own shorts from YouTube!
