Basebf555 posted:Probably a day 1 purchase for me for El Topo and Holy Mountain, but I don't know anything about Fando Y Lis. What type of film is it? Kinda mediocre, to be honest. Some neat imagery in a Fellini kinda way but nowhere near as satisfying as El Topo or Holy Mountain or Santa Sangre that La Cravate short is a lot of fun though.

There are others floating around but I can't remember what they are. Terror Train is one of em, I forget who picked it up but for a while the Scream Factory blu ray was fetching a lot of money

Even struggle with finding them on eBay. I unfortunately missed out on getting the repress of Cirith Ungol's demo on the true superior audio format: cassette tape

I have that previous Daimajin blu ray release, one of the first blu rays i got. I got the Mill Creek Heisei Gamera set at the same time, unfortunately Attack of Legion stops playing halfway through though so I gotta upgrade to the Arrow one at some point.

I sorta see the merits of the shorter cut, but I do think the longer cut of Deep Red is the way to go, Daria Nicolodi is so good and like half her scenes are gone in the short version. And it's the rare horror movie that's paced well enough that it still feels brisk at 2 hours.Basebf555 posted:I'd say Deep Red is either the best giallo of all time, or at least the second best. Only Bava's Blood and Black Lace may be better, but it's a tough call. Suspiria and Inferno are my favorite Argento films but they aren't giallo. I'd probably go Deep Red too but other best-giallo-ever contenders I'd throw out there: Don't Torture a Duckling The Perfume of the Lady in Black The Black Belly of the Tarantula

My favorite obsolete physical media format is the Capacitance Electronic Disc, this bizarre thing that looks like a vinyl record inside a big, flat NES cartridge. I stumbled upon a bunch of them at an antique market years ago and wish I had bought a couple, even if I had no way to play them they would make great decorations.

I've been weirdly fascinated with those things since I first discovered them so this may be enough to get me to overcome my distaste for long form youtube videos, thank you.

CPL593H posted:I hate to be That Guy but Henry is one of those rare movies that I think actually benefits from being watched on a crappy video tape. I usually scoff when people say this but I actually think this for once, especially in the context of what might be that film's most disturbing scene. It's technically a great film but not one I'd ever sit through again. I'd sorta disagree with this. Like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, watching it on a grainy VHS doesn't exactly hurt and does have a certain charm (maybe moreso for Henry than TCM since Henry is shot in 4:3), but both are also movies that, properly cleaned up and restored, look kind of stunning. Henry is a brutal, brutal movie but outside of that scene you mentioned, I find it kind of shockingly watchable. Just goes to show what a great job McNaughton did directing it that something with content so hideous is so compelling to watch.

Sounds like something the Coens might've done themselves, they did something similar with Blood Simple back in the day (edit: lol i didn't click thru to the full image that says exactly this). That said, kinda glad I found out now, I have the old blu ray but was considering upgrading to the Criterion one during the next sale.

Gripweed posted:What's weird is that those are the Batman movies where Batman doesn't say "I'm Batman" He definitely says it in Batman ‘89, it’s like one of the most memorable parts of the movie. I know he says it in Batman & Robin too because Clooney gives it a really half-assed delivery, it’s great.

I still haven't bought copies yet but I'm forever thankful for Severin for getting El dia de la Bestia and Perdita Durango back in print. Plus they introduced me to The Uncanny (excellent cat-themed british horror anthology with Peter Cushing, Susan Penhaligon, Donald Pleasance, and Samantha Eggar) and, through the folk horror box set, Eyes of Fire & Clear Cut.

yeah i just did Fist of Fury, Bruce really whips a lot of rear end in that one. i actually caught a 35mm screening of Enter the Dragon a week or so ago and it precipitated me taking the box set out. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and like, yo.... it rules so hard lol

Basebf555 posted:It's always bittersweet because it's like poo poo I can only watch these four or five(depending on if you count Game of Death) movies so many times before I burn them out. If Bruce had lived another 20 years can you imagine the library of great stuff we'd have to enjoy? i've been interspersing them with Jackie Chan movies which has been fun, especially since you can play "Where's Jackie?" in some of those Bruce Lee movies.
