Hi Terry. Yes, more Boxsets. They can be expensive for us Aussies but usually oh so worth it. I think you would love Gothic Fantastico (Four Italian Tales of Terror) 60s Gothic Horror, the good stuff. Rogue Cops and Racketeers - with the Big Racket and the Heroin Busters (Big Racket is a great Eurocrime film) Arrows Spaghetti Western boxsets and Giallo sets are ace.
@@terrytalksmovies Sartana is a great set. I recently watched Matalo! (kill him) it had an acid-Rock soundtrack with guitars squealing as the wind howled. Gunslingers dressed more as Hippies and or members of The Rolling Stones circa 1968 and Lou Castel throwing Boomerangs rather than fire a gun. I can see how purists would likely hate/dismiss it but I loved it’s weird vibe. The Italian West is my jam.
I listened to this while driving yesterday, which was why I didn't respond at once. I have THE EUROCRYPT OF CHRISTOPHER LEE which I bought based on your previous recommendation. I think I also might have the Universal Monsters Collection in the DVDs I haven't unpacked yet, but I got the three-disc HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS OF HORROR set which features some less-well known 30s horror/suspense films from Warner Brothers and MGM including MAD LOVE starring Peter Lorre, THE MASK OF FU MANCHU starring Boris Karloff as the titular Chinese supervillain (who has never been played by an Asian actor of any kind-Karloff, who's one-quarter Anglo-Indian, is as close as movies have gotten!), the two-tone Technicolor DOCTOR X with Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray, and it's not-really-sequel THE RETURN OF DOCTOR X starring Humphrey Bogart(!) as an effete mad scientist(!!!) with a white streak in his hair.
Hi Terry. Love that hat (I need to get one) 🤣 Wow, you talked about so many great box sets - Totally agree and love that Hitchcock set (I agree that Blu-ray is completely fine for Hitchcock for the most part). Those Arrow sets are amazing too! (Weird Wisconsin and He Came From The Swamp are both on my wishlist). I love the Universal Monsters collection too though I have some of the separate releases for Frankenstein and others. I have now added many more items to my wishlist thanks to your video 😀Really enjoying your channel and videos. All the best to you.
I got myself That Kingswood Country Box set I know it isn't a movie set But That series always cheered me a lot when I was a young teen-ager during the early 1980s Mate!😉☮️
A good range of stuff there! I’ve fancied seeing those Di Leo films for a while, so I need to look that box up. I’m a huge Jacques Tati fan, seen most of his films and have that set, but haven’t cracked it yet. Must do that! On comedy, Eureka have a number of Buster Keaton sets, each with 3 films. Excellent films. Arrow have done a couple of Claude Chabrol sets, worth getting if French crime floats your boat. I’d also mention that BFI have boxes of those excellent BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas, in different groupings. They’re creepy rather than horror, of course. I’d love a box set of Hitch’s British films on blu ray. The set you showed looks decent, but it’s his US releases.
Absolutely, more box sets. Bonus material like the 15 hrs in the Hitchcock collection is totally underrated. They are hardly even doing movie commentary tracks in normal DVD or blueray sets nowadays.
Damn! Those Shaw Bros sets are too sweet. Saw a few of those films in Okinawa in the mid 70’s, skipping school (only once or twice on solo field trips so…) jump on the Oki bus to Koza or Naha to sit in a tiny theater that was strangely, fairly crowded for a school day. Good times. And having lived in France in the early 60’s…well, Jacque Tati but of course. I guess I forgot about Mon Oncle and M. Hulot’s Vacation, until finding them at my local library about 20 years ago. I was wondering where I could have possibly seen them. ‘Didn’t you live in France when you were a kid?’ Mei oui. I am envious of your box collection. Insert smarmy joke here, I have had my fill…for today. Glad you are back to doing what you dig, Mon Ami.
I didn't think I would have any of these as you have a much bigger collection and broader knowledge. However, I am also an owner/ huge fan of the Shawscope sets and the Fernando Di Leo collections. Two more that I adore and would like to add are the Sartana set and the Umberto Lenzi Volent Streets collection.
I bought the 'Enter the Video Store' box set on the strength of your previous video. It's a lavish set considering what these movies are. I wasn't too keen on either Arena or Robot Jox, and a little indifferent to Dungeonmaster/Rage War, but I really enjoyed Dolls and absolutely loved Cellar Dweller - it was a huge amount of fun. Overall I'd recommend it, even though I didn't enjoy all the films in the set.
I have the Frankenstein subset of the Universal box set. I remember them being sold in separate sets about a decade ago. I also have sets of Frilz Lang German movies, 1960s Outer Limits. I have season by season purchased sets of other TV series. And you reminded me that I bought a box set of the Avengers Steed and Peel and haven't watched any of it. Good grief, I have to find it and start on that.
I have the Hitchcock and Universal Monsters. I definitely want the Bill Rebane set and the rest have been added to my "after I win the lotto" list. I'm currently working my way through the Al Adamson box set and am digging it so far.
Love box set chit chat. There are so many garbage sets, cheaply produced for a quick buck, getting your thumb's up is appreciated. I really want those Shaw Bros sets!
The Shaw Scope ones are worth it. Well curated and with such a premium package. I've bought more than my share of shitty box sets. I'm trying to be more selective these days.
Great Stuff! I have to look for the Jacques Tati set! Every basic classic movie monsters set is usually missing one or two classic movie monsters. That one is what the lineup should start with!! Although I'd love to take credit for Severin (after all the Severin sale emails I've sent you) I'm sure you're just on top of it with every independent Media company. Still, seeing you found something to love from them does my heart good and makes me feel like my time has not been wasted. ❤️🤗
A lot of films. Saw "Mako: The Jaws of Death", an apparent attempt to cash in on the post-Jaws shark craze. Saw "Robot Jox" on cable. Probably was a straight to cable movie. There was a lot of them around that time. They were entertaining.
Nice choices, if I may be so bold as to recommend the following: - Female Prisoner Scorpion (Arrow): Meiko Kaji kicks ass - Mexico Macabre (Indicator): Mexican gothic weirdness - All the Haunts be Ours (Severin): folk horror loveliness
i have the William Grefe box set, funny collection of a very personal and particular journey through the Drive In era of independent film making. fabulous doco on it too for context. Yes getting anything from US is too prohibitive here to NZ also mate! no severin, no vinegar syndrome ...
Not a lot of stuff that I'm particularly interested in, but your enthusiasm is always entertaining! 🙂 A lot of the box sets I have are TV series (TZ, OL, Thriller, ST, Invaders, The Avengers, The Prisoner, etc.) and Universal Horror (pretty much every box set and multi-movie set on DVD and BD plus the odd one movie discs).
Thanks for the Frenando Di Leo tip. I had never heard of him. Really great movies and all the actors look like 70´s pornstars ( Or not ! as my lawyer insists ).
Nice sets. I have a coupke of Hitchcock sets but different from those, one is his early British stuff and another is all of his 60s/70s films with select 40s/50s ones. I have a Universal Monsters set but mine lacks Phantom & the Creature from the BL (alas!). I did get the first Shaw Bros. set. Thinking about the second. I saw Monster A Go Go on MST3k and that film has the biggest anti-climax ever. Also seen that Christopher Lee Sherlock Holmes film but the print was not so good.
I wish one could order the booklets separate. Inevitably I will order a box set, like Yokia, and find out later, on Terry Talks, that there was a version with the cool booklets and stuff. Now, sold out. :(
if you rate the Yokai set maybe try the Woman Prisoner Scorpion Box set too. radically different themes yes, but amazing stylistic 70's japanese exploitation cinema
Can't recall whether I've previously listed my box sets here or elsewhere, but like many others, I have the Universal Monsters one (not quite as flash as yours but it has all 8 movies), the Tati boxset in DVD (doesn't have all of his films but has the top ones), basically have all of the Hitchcock films individually (some of them cheapish 4K, the only sort I get), and I'm steadily replacing my Kubrick box set that was DVD but most are now 4K+ Blu-ray. I've also got Carl Theodore Dreyer and Werner Herzog box sets on DVD, plus the Alec Guinness Ealing comedies on DVD (plus replacement Blu-rays for some). Plus The Very Best of Laurel and Hardy (5-film collection) on Blu-ray, and Eureka's Early Murnau. Plus a few anime series box sets. Oh, and of course I have the Geelong 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2022 box sets.
Sharp prick, cool old -- you know yourself well. Bill Rebane ... argh, Invasion From Inner Earth is just dreary. The Alpha Incident tries to be like edgy non-living-dead George Romero, but I just stick with Romero. (Aren't all zoos naked? And I have to wonder how "Jerry Cotton" became an action spy name.) I imagine that Christopher Lee makes a decent Sherlock. Cellar Dweller -- I think an artist accidentally brings to life a monster with a pentagram on its chest, is that about right? The Tati collection is the one I feel most envious of. You are the master shopper. Thanks, Ter.
I totally want that Tati boxset!
I have couple on dvd.
It's a quality set.
Big thumbs up for Tati and the Universal monster set.
Both definitive collections.

Via Vision and Umbrella are doing great television box sets in Australia.
I love Tati.
How could you not? It's genius comedy.

The Chabrol sounds very cool.
Absolutely, more box sets. Bonus material like the 15 hrs in the Hitchcock collection is totally underrated. They are hardly even doing movie commentary tracks in normal DVD or blueray sets nowadays.
Some are, some aren't. Commentaries are time consuming, which is why single film releases get all the extras.
Damn! Those Shaw Bros sets are too sweet.

Thanks. Mon Oncle and M. Hulot are great and the Shaw Scope collections are treasures.
Just watched Italian Connection (it’s on UA-cam) and it was definitely a goodie. A mini Thunderball reunion. Even James Bond is mentioned in dialogue
Also Mario Adorf was a human bulldozer.
I didn't think I would have any of these as you have a much bigger collection and broader knowledge. However, I am also an owner/ huge fan of the Shawscope sets and the Fernando Di Leo collections.
Two more that I adore and would like to add are the Sartana set and the Umberto Lenzi Volent Streets collection.
I have the Sartana collection, which is great. The Umberto Lenzi is outside my current budget. 😀
The Ed Wood Box is my recommendation 😂. The Sinister Urge you need to get separately to complete the set. 😊
Cool. Thanks for the tip. 🙂

That's the thing with these kinds of sets. Variability. It's never 100% but overall, you can have a great time with them.
I have the Frankenstein subset of the Universal box set. I remember them being sold in separate sets about a decade ago. I also have sets of Frilz Lang German movies, 1960s Outer Limits. I have season by season purchased sets of other TV series.
And you reminded me that I bought a box set of the Avengers Steed and Peel and haven't watched any of it. Good grief, I have to find it and start on that.
The struggle is real. Too many box sets, too little time.
There's three of these I've definitely seen everything of. And a couple I will add to that list :)
Glad to help out with your list. 😀
Nice recs; I love the Shawscope boxes. If I was making one recommendation it would be the Criterion Agnes Varda box, which is crazy
I'm going to have to watch the rest of the Shaw Scopes. They're great.
Mon Oncle is a favourite of mine with the architecture and furniture.
Mon Oncle is a masterpiece of production design, amongst other things.
I have the Hitchcock and Universal Monsters. I definitely want the Bill Rebane set and the rest have been added to my "after I win the lotto" list. I'm currently working my way through the Al Adamson box set and am digging it so far.
The Al Adamson looks interesting.

2:28 The sequel, _The Great Yokai War: Guardians,_ is being released by SRS Cinema and is now up for preorder on their site 😉
Wow. Cool. I'll have to look it up.
@@terrytalksmovies They’re also releasing 1962’s _The Whale God,_ Daiei Studio’s take on Moby Dick, by way of Japanese pseudo-kaiju period drama 🤔
