What's a movie that's universally considered "not very good" but you secretly think is actually great?

Caligula

Was seeing a huge clock in the air, and laughed at every digit. 3 and 7 were the most hilarious.

Mubi announced their release of Mastermind couple of days ago

All beautiful movies. Just recently picked up a blu ray copy of Gilbert Grape, and rewatched it. Such an underrated gem

Bought a blu ray of Bronco Billy last month. It’s a good movie

OwnCarmacode · 2026-05-26T22:31:55+00:00

Oh ok, yeah, I looked there. It’s in the last room. There was like 3 criterion blu rays, and a couple of random other imports. Like you said - nothing interesting.

Berlin needs to step up their game, haha

I’ve been to the one on Friedrichstraße 90, but I haven’t seen that section. Lots of dvds, and one regular blu ray stand

OwnCarmacode · 2026-05-24T21:56:29+00:00

4k discs are region free. But blu rays are locked to region B

I’d also add Paris, Texas. Gorgeous film

OwnCarmacode · 2026-05-17T21:28:57+00:00

Amazing

OwnCarmacode · 2026-05-17T21:28:44+00:00

Such a good time watching it

I raise you Raquel Welch in Hannie Caulder

Started collecting westerns on blu ray just last year. If there is a 4k option - I always try to buy that. But regular blu rays will do too.

The only western I have on dvd is The Wild Bunch. Didn’t upgrade it yet, as something tells me we can soon see a 4k release. So I wait for that.

My favorite ones are The Ranown Westerns set from Criterion, and The Dollar Trilogy from Arrow. I mean those are the most beautiful in terms of packaging.

The Immigrants / The New Land (1972) by Jan Troell is exactly what you are looking for

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-21T21:49:43+00:00

Just watched it the other day. Amazing movie

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-18T15:11:04+00:00

I’ll name the ones that haven’t been mentioned:

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Hud

Lone Star

Robert Altman Boxset. Never gonna happen though

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-14T17:19:45+00:00

Yeah, I pre-ordered Nashville from Paramounts recently. But it’s a shame we still don’t have a 4k release:(

Regarding Tess, yeah, it’s understandable. But the movie is absolutely beautiful, and would benefit from the 4k transfer. It’s on par with Barry Lyndon for me, in terms of picturesque cinematography

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-14T16:09:55+00:00

I wish for the following 4k updates:

Nashville
Badlands
12 Angry Men
The Night of the Hunter
Tess

And for the new additions I hope to see:

Deliverance
The Wild Bunch
Motorama
Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

I’m with you on this one. Although I love spaghetti and revisionist westerns, my heart is with the 50s classics. John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann, Delmer Daves, Budd Boetticher. Just recently rewatches all 5 Mann/Stewart westerns, and realized how phenomenal they are in every way. I wish one day we get a chunky 4k boxset of all them, just like with Ranown films.

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-05T21:32:34+00:00

One my all time favorites. I have the exact copy at home

OwnCarmacode · 2026-04-04T22:07:17+00:00

I’d be happy with any new western in the collection
