I haven't seen M since 2016 probably in my all time top dozenish. So excited to rewatch.

I've never finished Tabu fall asleep every time

Haven't seen in a goddamn while! Especially Limite where the director was 22 when he made it

City Lights a cherished masterpiece to everyone and I do not get it

The start of the original cinematic universe that I like

Dracula and Frankenstein

Haven't seen em since I first dove into the dust can't wait to see them in hd

What’s your top 5 Charles?

Modern Times one of my favourite films by anybody haven't seen it in so long i dont even have it logged tho lol

Verdoux
Limelight

the rest

City Lights, Goldrush and Dictator all bogged down by mildly funny scenes dragged on way too long Buster and Harold would never

Gunna have to start digging into the Sternberg set.

Saw one 1930 Ozu over the weekend called "I Flunked, But..." I only really knew Ozu from Tokyo Story for the longest time and now after seeing "Good Morning" and this I'm realizing how funny he can be.

Yeah I wasn't able to find any of the earlier ozu but I heard they're pretty charming

I watched it on the Criterion Channel but it did bring up the question of would I rather stream it or watch on the Eclipse DVDs. Would you choose streaming over a 480p DVD at this point? Does it even matter for video from this era? I figured streaming would at least be an HD signal but maybe I should pop in the DVDs to compare.

If they haven't been restored then you're probably better off watching the DVD but I've never really streamed so I don't know

It's probably very close since they weren't restored. If I have the Blu Ray I would always go for that over streaming but I'm reluctant to watch DVDs at this point if there is an alternative. The last movie I watched on DVD was "Death to Smoochy" because it never made it to Blu or streaming lol

Big difference between a crappy 90s DVD and something criterion restored. Sometimes you can hardly tell it isn't blu. Depends on tv size.

at least the mon got to make his last opus in paradise

why isn't this considered proto-Jaws

Spent my teenage years pounding this and was howling when I saw Little Ceasar and realized how dusty the sample was

@twinkletoez crazy sample from the LC intro credits
