Got most of my stuff today: Ingmar Bergman's Silence Trilogy, Sawdust and Tinsel, Story of Floating Weeds, A Night to Remember, Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Three Penny Opera, In the Realms of the Senses blu, and the Hiroshi Teshihagara box set. Unfortunately, BN sent me The Red Shoes instead of Tales of Hoffmann, and no sign of Canterbury Tale yet.

zeroordie posted:Do you guys think I should move the Bergman dvd/vhs stuff to be down by the two Bergman books, or leave them up top (where they rightfully belong I like it how it is. I would, however, have the rest of your Criterions in spine number order. Also, Jesus Christ, I thought I owned too many Criterions...

zeroordie posted:Also, I really don't see the point in spine-number order. If I had nearly every single release I would consider it, but otherwise, who cares what order they came out in? In my head it's more logical to scan by director. That said, excluding Early Bergman I do the Eclipse sets on another shelf by the series number. Oh god, I think I've just completely internalized the spine numbers. Regardless, I would think about doing that way, too, but there'd be too many directors I'd only have one movie for, and it would feel weird.

STEVIE B 4EVA posted:Which Audrey Hepburn movies would you want exactly? I'm not particularly fond of her as an actress. I'd love Two for the Road or Roman Holiday, personally. Or Sabrina. But most Hepburn movies are big moneymakers for whoever puts them on DVD, so I can't imagine them handing over that easily. We just lucked out that Charade is public domain (and, as such, really should be made Blu soon...).

Thirding Green for Danger, seconding Miss Julie, and adding Secret Honor and Europa. The former is a one man show that's somehow completely compelling and fascinating, and the latter has one of the best openings/closings for any movie I've seen (though the middle can kinda drag).

FitFortDanga posted:A remastered version of Tokyo Drifter has popped up on Netflix Instant, indicating a probable re-release in the near future (and probably Branded to Kill as well, and I'd wager both on Blu-Ray). I just watched Branded in my attempt to watch all the previous Movies of the Month, and it was pretty great. I'm also pretty excited if Island of Lost Souls gets a release, that movie is sweet.

(I know the second half of Psycho is procedural-ish, but not by the book procedural as what you'll get in High and Low) Don't get me wrong, High and Low is worth watching, but owning? Nah.

Jack Does Jihad posted:Have you seen Hiroshima Mon Amour? I don't see it talked about a lot, and I'm surprised no one's already mentioned it. I think it's his best film of the...two I've seen, haha. I personally preferred it over Marienbad, but Marienbad is still amazing, of course. I just watched Hiroshima and I've seen the Marienbad and Night and Fog, and I agree that Hiroshima is my favorite thing of his I've seen, easily.

Criminal Minded posted:I'd buy the hell out of that box just for Five Easy Pieces (which I just watched this morning for the second time) and Last Picture Show. Easy Rider I can take or leave but I'm not opposed to revisiting it. I don't know anything about Head other than the people involved. It's kinda like a hosed up version of Hard Day's Night but not as fun. If you really need to know anything about it, The Monkees named it Head so, in case they got to make a sequel, they could put a tagline on the poster saying "From the guys who gave you Head."

It's been a while since I've seen Blow-Out, but I'll say that I'm not surprised it's getting a Criterion. It's probably De Palma's best movie, and definitely on my wish list.

bowmore posted:What's the deal with the eclipse series? Are they worth it? They're collections of films by a certain theme or director without any special features, save for an essay on the inside of the case. And, yes, they're good ways to get your hands on stuff by good directors whose works apparently don't deserve a full release. The Lubitsch set is my favorite, but the Flamenco trilogy is pretty great too; everyone will have differing opinions.

Robert Denby posted:To chime in on the Godard hate, "Alphaville" is the only Criterion I ever sold to someone else after buying it. Seeing as that's one of his most acclaimed films, I've had zero interest in checking any of his other movies out. Godard is extremely hit or miss. Some of his films are interesting while being terrible (Tout Va Bien), some are stupid while being kind of enjoyable (Une Femme Est Une Femme), some are very boring (Masculin/Feminine) and some are flat out great (Contempt, Vivre Sa Vie, Band of Outsiders). Everyone has the ones they like and don't. God knows I do. (I also couldn't get through Alphaville)
