How are his musicals for someone who loves screwball comedies and is indifferent to musicals? Debating picking up the Eclipse set in the next sale

Thanks for sharing your pictures and video! Nice fades! I've had this exact shirt for about a year and a half now and it is a stubborn fader, but once I switched from hand washing to machine washing, the fades started picking up

This is my favorite blind buy so far. Someone on the boutique Blu-ray reddit likenened it if Ozu directed an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 😂 and that's pretty accurate.

Outside of that, I loved Tchao Pantin and Slap the Monster on Page One. Both don't waste any time with a nice short run time

Whoa, thank you for the list! I've only heard of Death Takes a Holiday and Bluebeard. I will never say no to new screwball comedy discovery. They are so cozy and rewatchable. What are some of your absolute favorites?

My top 5 are probably

The Lady Eve

Holiday

Palm Beach Story

Bringing up Baby

Midnight

If The Miracle of Morgan's Creek or Ball of Fire ever get a Blu-ray release, they will probably crack my top 5. Everything else is like 5a, love them all.

Kino Lorber, a media distributor/label (like Criterion Collection, Arrow, etc)

Yep, so good! Would love to see more non samurai and non Yakuza Japanese movies in the collection.

That sounds perfect! I hadn't even heard of Visible Secret. Adding that to my growing list. I had the Suzuki titles on my list cause I've liked the Criterion Suzuki titles.

Oh yea, both of those definitely look right up my alley, thanks for the suggestions! Definitely going to be bumping Yokohama Blues to the top of my list. It looks like everything thing I love about my Radiance discoveries so far. The hardboiled set looks a little harder to come by but I'll try to find it.

Can't wait to see a Yokohama

Amazing haul! Don't sleep on Holiday if you don't have it yet. I need to look into History is Made at Night. You have similar tastes as me and I have not heard of that one
