    Stroszek and Bitter Tears of Petra are in my top 5 of the decade

    rough ranking of more classics;

    Aguirre
    Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser
    Ali, Fear Eats The Soul
    Wings Of Desire
    Fox & His Friends
    Merchant Of Four Seasons
    Heart Of Glass
    The Tin Drum
    Fitzcarraldo
    Sudden Wealth Of The Poor People
    Nosferatu
    Young Torless

    Aguirre final shot will forever stay with me. I've seen a handful of Fassbinder films but never seen Bitter Tears or Fox. I'll most likely look into getting those during the sale this summer. Haha those other titles are definitely going to my letterboxed watchlist... also I'm thinking about copping Wenders road trilogy, what do you think about that series?

    Nope. I think Wagon Master and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean is p good picks from me

    The Life and Times almost made it to my cart but I went with some other titles. Random question Op, have you thought about opening up this thread to other studios like Kino, Warner Archive, Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, Mondo, Blue Underground and etc?

    I think Wim was the kraut king of the 80s but his 70s stuff f***in sucked. I'm in the minority on this but good lord they are boring.

    My gf's aunt worked on the costumes and sets for Wings Of Desire and said he was amazing

    Yeah, it's a great place to discuss other labels on here. Idk I would rename the thread title for it like "Boutique Labels Thread" but I would Criterion Collection thread stay on there so that most of the user base on this website would know only that such company.

    s*** is brutal, basically a horror film

  • Jul 12, 2020

    yeah, those scenes were weird because it was right after the bombings like why they dancing and laughing in the rain

    wasnt that crazy about C&S tbh, seemed kinda artless and the kind of film the soviet govt. loved to put out. maybe i lacked perception but it didnt seem subversive like the best russian directors usually were.

    been a while tho, gonna revisit

    The greatest war film ever told!

  • Jul 13, 2020

    copped: come and see, husbands, grand Budapest, dressed to kill, roma, & until the end of the world. watched come and see last night, s*** was terrifying. great movie. sort of reminded me of when I watched sicario. both feel like horror movies without the horror genre tropes.
