Odd that the channel just decided to put that on, so I will probably save my $ for something else.  I think all of these were in that series I posted about in the movie thread.  

 
B&N was sold out of the WKW when I went to place order. Ended up going with Memories of Murder, High and Low, and Seven Samurai.

After I ordered, I noticed Prime had the WKW set for 50% off too. Guess I’ll just give that money to Amazon.

Just about to post this - seems Amazon has followed suit. Picked up Stalker Bluray today for $20

 
I watched one of my purchases from the last Criterion sale this weekend — Gold Rush.  The disc is great — it has both the 1925 and 1942 versions on it (I’ve seen the former but not the latter before). Some good special features on it.  I have a handful of the Chaplin Criterion’s (also have City Lights, Modern Times, The Kid, and The Circus) — love the presentation of all of them.

The comedy remains timeless. My 5 year old walked in while I was watching it and proceeded to watch the end with me (laughing at the dancing of the dinner rolls and the house teetering on the cliff). Considering the last time my son came in while I was watching a B&W movie, he asked me “why everyone was gray,” I’ll take it. Maybe I’ll try to convince him to watch The Circus.

 
I like that Amazon has the 50% too.  Might look more and get a couple others.  

Yesterday I was driving by the BN, and the sale popped into mind, so I stopped in for a couple impulse buys.  Got Memories of Murder, and the movie that started my love of foreign movies 20 years ago - Amores Perros.

Pretty sure I was hyping that one along with Mother and The Host when people were talking about Parasite.  But when I was staring at the disc, I couldn't remember a ton about the movie, so I thought it would be a good re-watch.

I would say Mother, Memories of Murder and Parasite are the 3 must see Bong movies. When he gets into the sci-fi stuff, I don't find him nearly as effective or enjoyable. 

 
I also purchased Brighter Summer Day. I was so impressed by Yi Yi that I needed to another movie from Yang. I haven't watched it yet but am pretty excited.

I’m scared to see the price tag 

 
Barnes and Noble 50% off sale going through November 

I just got their first 4K release, Mulholland Drive. It looked awesome but the improved picture didn’t improve my understanding.

You just need to discard the red herrings  that are left over from when it started out as a TV show.

Primarily it's showing what's going on in her broken psyche and what caused it to break - or at least her interpretation of it. Until the ending, which is reality.

This is a pretty thorough interpretation.

Edit: Betty's audition and Llorando scenes are two of the most mesmerising I've ever seen.

Yeah, go in as blank as possible. Even with that foreknowledge it's still disorienting. It's like the WTH feeling of Donnie Darko taken to Lynchian levels.

I've seen it a few times, but it's been awhile.   But like you said, I'd like my rewatch to be as blank as possible.  

 
Rumor has is the B&N 50% off sale will start Friday.

Been waiting to get Miller's Crossing. :excited:

May also spring for Double Indemnity.

That is cool though I do like having the physical media (talk about old sounding lol). Something about having the disc and material all there in hand. Plus there is no chance it will be taken away from me. Remember when you buy digital movies, you don't actually own them and at any time they can be removed from your library. 

A good example of this just happened this month with Playstation Germany when they announced:

As of 31 August 2022, due to our evolving licensing arrangements with content providers, you will no longer be able to view your previously purchased Studio Canal content and it will be removed from your video library.

We greatly appreciate your continued support.

Thank you

It is a threat, sure. But I've bought digital for about a decade now and have never had anything disappear.

In fact, I still have access to a couple titles on digital that aren't available anymore (e.g. True Lies).

I am re-buying some of my very favorites on disc, though.

 
I caught this one yesterday and really liked it.

A WWII movie of an Irish lassie who despises the English and falls in with a German spy ring.  

I completely got swept up in the story and was quite taken with Debra Kerr who I loved in her next film Black Narcissus.

English films were at a disadvantage competing with Hollywood, so they typically are not of as high caliber, so I was pleasantly surprised.  The English film industry would knock out films to turn a profit and then pool together their top, directors, producers, actors, screen writers, and technical folks in order to make at least one high-quality English film that would be able to compete with top Hollywood movies. 

I don't think they did that with this film, but I really enjoyed it.

Written by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliatt, who wrote Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes" and Reed's "Night Train to Munich" among others.

I think I posted in the recently viewed movie thread, but the Double Indemnity 4K UHD was really good — loved the documentary, which is basically 3 hours of someone shooting the **** with Billy Wilder talking about his films.
