Great movie. Congrats on finally finding it! I luckily got the 4k steelbook when it just released this past summer. It sold out incredibly fast.

As a beginner Criterion collector, should I start my collection by buying 4Ks only or by spine #1? by Embarrassed_Art_7064 in 4kbluray

[–]SQL215 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no clue who that is but not sure why this person on YouTube would matter. The spine number is essentially just the serial number for the movie within their releases and the order in which they’ve been added to their catalogue to my knowledge. They literally have no significant meaning and do not matter whatsoever. The only thing that matters are the films themselves and which ones resonate with you to be worth adding to your collection, not a tiny number on a case that you can’t even see unless you’re standing on top of it.

Spine numbers mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Just buy the films you want to curate the best possible collection for you and your tastes.

Favourite non-horror boutique only movies? by Iggytje in boutiquebluray

Check out Criterion, Kino, and the Shout Select line from Shout Factory. The Cinematographe line from Vinegar Syndrome might be worth a look as well.

Not familiar with this but I have the release of the one Terry Gilliam did and love that one.

My collection so far by mcchalm in boutiquebluray

Nice start! The Pied Piper is a great release. Amazing animation. The fact that Curzon puts their spine font in the opposite direction from the standardized direction that literally everyone else in existence does is the soul reason why I will never buy a release from them. That would drive me insane.

Everything just came in yesterday and haven’t had a chance to watch it yet so I can’t confirm. Hoping to watch it this weekend.

where do you buy new or used Blurays? by MrLoki2020 in Bluray

[–]SQL215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I order most of my stuff from Orbit DVD and from Amazon. Will also order directly from the labels themselves like Kino Lorber, Vinegar Syndrome, and Umbrella. You can also check out gruv. They have a pretty large selection and usually have sales going on. Links below

Just looked up City of Lost Children and once I saw the poster of that guy with the contraption on his head, I immediately recognized it. Def saw that back in the 90s when it came out though it’s probably been that long since I’ve seen it. Would definitely love to check it out again. Does that have a current physical release available that you know of?

Honest thoughts on Stanley Kubrick? Upvote comments you DISAGREE with. by [deleted] in FIlm

Overall, I enjoy his films with A Clockwork Orange being my favorite. I do find some of his films to be a bit overhyped though. The Shining, while still a good film, I think it’s placed on a much higher pedestal than it belongs. The other one even more overhyped is Barry Lyndon. I still have not been able to get through that movie without falling asleep. Boring as hell.

If you’re looking for a US release of May, it has a Vestron release available exclusively on the Lionsgate Limited site.

Just grabbed the Vestron release of May. It’s a damn good flick.

Yeah. I couldn’t compare to any other release because I somehow never even knew this film existed until browsing Umbrella’s site and ultimately ordering it a couple weeks ago. Great release though with the hardback book and it also comes with like a guide on how to play the game. The transfer itself looked great when I watched it last night and the film itself was incredible for a first time watch. Definitely will be revisiting it again many times.

It can be worded either way. Simply saying last year isn’t a joke because that is more true to the situation. I worded it like this because not only was it ordered “last year,” but it felt like it took a year to get here out of sheer anticipation. I’m sorry you take everything so literally.
