Great haul! I got Chimes at Midnight, Revanche, Jellyfish Eyes, Five Easy Pieces, Election, Show Boat, I am Cuba, Peeping Tom, A Hollis Frampton Odyssey, The Life of Oharu, To Die For, Risky Business, La Haine, Le Samurai, Le Silence de La mer, The Philadelphia Story, and Picnic at Hanging Rock.
So great to hear you love Aki Kaurismäki films, a lot of gems in his filmography. If anything I’d say his earlier films are the stronger. His La Vie de Boheme is also on Criterion. The Curzon box set is fantastic, an absolute must. He used to art director the posters, so the yellow titles are him too. He released Fallen Leaves earlier this year, there’s a Mubi blu ray. I’ve yet to watch it, as his work is to be savored. My pick ups were Pat Garrett and Lone Star. Titles I’d been eyeing for months. Thanks for the great vids!
Love it! I almost picked up the Akerman set myself. I went with The Red Balloon and Other Stories, Hôtel du Nord, The Naked Island, and Le samouraï in 4K (upgrade from my DVD edition).
Cool pickups. Since you watched Betty Blue, have you seen Diva? Highly recommend. I also wanted to get Perfect Days but it sold out everywhere I got: I Am Cuba The Funeral After Hours Malcolm X
Had to comment since I've started having the Criterion Channel, I've watched Cleo from 5 - 7 (Ackerman) and Claire's Knee (Roehmer) in the last few days. Curtailed my Want List in favor of Watch Lists on both the Channel and Max. So far I've only bought Tree of Life (Malick) and Defending Your Life (Albert Brooks) while eyeing dozens of recommendations from you & other youtubers.
Just picked up Perfect Days, but haven't watched it yet. On a side note, went to Barnes and Noble in Peoria IL, and they had the biggest Criterion section I have seen, even in videos. A center table with new criterion stacked 5 to 10 of each Movie and a huge wall full of criterion. As I had already bought several this month I plan to go back to that store for the November sale.
Great that you picked up Perfect Days, it's at the top of my list for the next sale. There is not much at the Barnes and Noble close to me and stock has been dwindling the past few years at the larger store a little further away. Hoping that changes at some point.
Great haul! If I could suggest one that you should pick up it would be Manila in the Claws of Light. Great depiction of the issues underlying the Philippines. Also would love to see a vid on your top foreign film recommendations!
Thanks and really appreciate the film recommendation. It's so tough for me to pick favorites but will definitely consider a video of top foreign film recommendations.
My pickups. Haul 1 Trainspotting 4K To Die For 4K Roaring Twenties 4K Haul 2 Risky Business 4K Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid 4K I wanted the Peeping Tom 4K but none of the stores in my area had it in stock and it was out of stock on the B&N website. I’ll just have to wait until the October flash sale or the November B&N sale.
My only pickups were the ones I believe I posted at the start of the month-a fistful of 4Ks. I’m quarantining (COVID) for the rest of the week, but might go out Saturday because “Peeping Tom” (4K) is out online, but in a couple local stores (go figure).
@@CinemaDaveMedia Thank you. I suspect it’s a false positive from what’s actually the flu (because sneezing isn’t supposed to be a symptom), but I’m playing it safe. If I don’t get out again, I’m happy with the haul. Glad you were able to actually get stuff in store too.
I didn't start buying Blu-rays until this year, so I kinda went a little overboard this month: All About Eve Arsenic and Old Lace Beasts of No Nation Bicycle Thieves Don't Look Now Dr. Strangelove Eyes Without a Face Friends of Eddie Coyle Godzilla His Girl Friday Incredible Shrinking Man Infernal Affairs Trilogy Klute La Ceremonie La Piscine Last Temptation of Christ La Verite Le Samourai Lola Montes M Matter of Life and Death Okja Philadelphia Story Pierrot Le Fou Raging Bull Seven Samari Silence of the Lambs Solaris Thelma and Louise Tokyo Story Traffic Trainspoting Twelve Angry Men And I would've picked up A Hard Day's Night, but it's out of stock. Maybe I'll buy it from the Criterion website, since I got my eye on the Made in U.S.A DVD.

@@Historybuffrunner Thanks. Wow, you picked up so many great films!
This video is REALLY making me want to start collecting physical Criterion discs again. Phew! What a haul, Dave!
Thanks, I'm so happy with my picks. Honestly, I love collecting physical media (movies, books, music) because it's like living in a library. 😀
Great haul, Dave! Glad to see some more love towards Aki Kaurismäki's films. Have you seen Fallen Leaves yet? That was one of my favs of 2023!
