I'm a total auteurist, so 4 times out of 5 I have a director I'm concentrating on, either completely new to me (no films previously seen), partly new to me (some films seen) or more or less completely familiar to me (most/all films seen). I'll watch whatever films I have available, that I'm interested in watching or re-watching in chronological order, mainly from my DVD collection. I generally buy films by director also.
Otherwise it'll be either
- a one-off film, usually a newer film I missed at the cinema that I particularly wanted to see that I've recently purchased
- something interesting I recorded from free-to-air TV
- something on the Mubi streaming website, that concentrates on foreign, arthouse, festival type fare
I'm very rarely wondering what to watch next, more often that not it's waiting for the time to watch it
* this is of course excluding any films I watch at a cinema
