Great recommendations and videos, I will defiantly check some of these out. These days I only collect the classics or older shows and movies on Physical media, the new stuff, in my opinion isn't worth rewatching all that much. They don't seem to take time or effort on movies and shows as much, I mean there as some that are great and worth a rewatch, but a lot of others are forgettable. Oh well, I'll spend less money and just buy those movies and shows I will rewatch all the time. I hope Disney releases some of their classic cartoons on Blu ray or DVD again, it would be nice to rewatch them and own them in my collection. Keep up the great videos.
Elliot, I can't express how grateful I am that you are making regular content, as I'm sure that many individual's feel the same. Thank you from the deepest depths of my soul for your recommendations. Keep them videos coming. Amazing channel & content alike 👏❤️
As always you give great recommendations that truly pique my interest. Red Angel sounds on par to me to Fires on the Plain & The Human Condition showing the brutalities of war. I really want that Last Emperor 4k. I've been meaning to check out that Bee Gees doc. 1st/Horizontal/Idea/Odessa are easily classics. If you haven't you ought to check out Robin's solo work. Good stuff. Always appreciate your videos.
Thanks for the recs, could really use more of these as i just went and bought red angel in the arrow sale it sounds great and want to expand my collection all the time. Keep up the great content, pls😃
I did get Barry Lyndon Criterion because of you're recommendation, and I did enjoy it definitely a pretty good movie. I am a fan of Stanley Kubrick I don't think it is a top 10 for me, so not as much of a fan as you are, but definitely a great movie and different taking place in the 1700s or 1800s. So I'm glad I have it.
I love Wise Blood! Had the privilege to jump on as a guest on The Projection Booth podcast and talk about that last year and it was a complete pleasure to revisit.
2:47 I knew you were a man of taste, Elliot. Babylon was also my favorite of 2022. In fact, I saw it in the theater three times, because I knew certain scenes, particularly that fantastic final montage, just would not play the same at home. (And I was right.)
If you want to see a good film about jazz I'd suggest "Round Midnight". It was made in the eighties starring Dexter Gordon as an aging jazz giant. It's a great fiction film that's currently in the Criterion Collection if you'd like to check it out
Wouldn't say you were particularly going out on a limb with these in terms of obscure. But maybe the last emperor has been forgotten a little and I'm not familiar with wiseblood so for that.
I really wanted to pick up War of the Worlds 4k, but after I saw the issue with the colours of Mars and such, I decided to wait for another release of it.
Hello, Elliot. I've been watching you for awhile. Besides your great content, I have to say, your calm, quiet presentations are pleasant to listen to. I just knew you were going to bring up "Wise Blood," a favorite of mine. The original story was published in my birth year by Flannery O'Connor. It's a classic of Southern gothic in America; I live in the South. I watched this film version. with a great performance by Brad Dourif, in a theatre when it premiered; and it has been a favorite of mine since, though the film is quirky and perhaps not for everyone. Criterion has had a dvd of it for yesrs and I have long had hopes they will upgrade to, at least, a Blu-ray. Thanks, again, for your informative and enjoyable videos.
Great news on new arrow video bruce lee box set I have preorder the yellow box version that you can only preorder from arrow video so Which one would you preorder the red version or the yellow limited box set version
I have the Last Emperor set and it’s a 4K restoration on blu ray is it not? It looks superb but it’s not a 4K disc unless you have a different version to me?
@@nocoture thanks, in fact there are two versions, the 4K one seems to be out of stock at Arrow. I have the blu but it looks excellent so I’m happy enough
@@tompoynton I confess I accidentally bought the wrong edition, having said that the blu ray looks remarkable for 1080p so I'm happy to hang on to it. Thanks.
Eliot I like a lot your channel and your criterion is quite similar to mine but considering babylon one of the best films of last year just killed me 😅😅😅 It would be nice if you talk about it, what is it that you like about the movie because I just couldn´t stand it. So much pretentious, excessively long (no sense to do so), boring, lot of lies about the industry at that times, bad acting performances. I just didn´t like at all. But that´s my particular opinion, I find Damien Chazelle super pretentious director, I don´t like his movies (only whiplash which I think is great).
The Last Emperor has been converted to 3D and that is the version I would go for. Babylon is not my cup of tea, i found it bloated, empty and overrated.
After this video, check out my thoughts on the current state of physical media - ua-cam.com/video/qb2YCW3DaqA/v-deo.html

Please keep up these movie recommendations videos - can't state how beneficial they are for finding new films to watch!
The Last Emperor used to be huge back in the day. Everyone saw that movie and talked about it. These days it hardly comes up! Great suggestion ❤
Great selections. Thank-you as always. Nice Barry Lyndon poster and new set up!
'Moonlighting' very brilliant movie! Irons is awesome 🔥
Love Red Angel and Jive Talkin is my entrance music. Great content as usual!
As always you give great recommendations that truly pique my interest.
Red Angel sounds on par to me to Fires on the Plain & The Human Condition showing the brutalities of war.
I really want that Last Emperor 4k.

very intrigued by the red angel, thanks for the rec, Elliot
Dude I love this video and style ❤

Red Angel is an underrated gem.
Jazz on a Summer's Day is a great recommendation!
I love these ASMR vids.

Some good recommendations, I’ve seen about half of those and are all good and interesting movies.

Watched Moonlighting the other week, great stuff. I also got EO (solid) and The Shout, which was even better than I remembered it
its so funny that the same director made The Red Angel and Giants And Toys because they're completely the opposite it mood and style lol
If you want to see a good film about jazz I'd suggest "Round Midnight". It was made in the eighties starring Dexter Gordon as an aging jazz giant. It's a great fiction film that's currently in the Criterion Collection if you'd like to check it out
and available in the UK too!
remember the lockdown quiz you did? that was fun! would you do that again some time?
Vinegar syndrome have now released two forgotten Universal movies on blu ray ie 1943 Flesh and Fantasy and the Cat Creeps 1946. Cheers.
I just watched Babylon on 4k and LOVED it
more videos like these please!
Wouldn't say you were particularly going out on a limb with these in terms of obscure. But maybe the last emperor has been forgotten a little and I'm not familiar with wiseblood so for that.
HAHA I’m still collecting DVD’s 😩
I really wanted to pick up War of the Worlds 4k, but after I saw the issue with the colours of Mars and such, I decided to wait for another release of it.
Had The Last Emperor on Criterion bluray but picked the arrow 4k great edition.
Moonlighting❤
Finally another Babylon fan
Watching babylon in Cinema was one of my best cinema experience.

Well the blu ray is down graded from 4k to 2k so it's fits on the blu ray disc
@@nocoture thanks, in fact there are two versions, the 4K one seems to be out of stock at Arrow. I have the blu but it looks excellent so I’m happy enough
@@jedlomax100 I recently
found the 4K on HMV, but that was a week or so ago, may have sold out now, as it already had at Arrow and Zavvi

I am skeptical of all movies that everyone loves and especially so when the evangelical fans go on and on and on about it.
The Last Emperor has been converted to 3D and that is the version I would go for.

Babylon 🤮
😮
