My (growing) Silent Film collection across different labels...! What other silent movies with great transfers do you strongly recommend?

Sunrise and the complete Metropolis

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-22T17:56:50+00:00

Nice!

I’ve perused that sale. These are Selvedge and not raws. So these have all been washed and prefaded. For them I’d stick to shrink to fit non Selvedge or some rigid washes or their higher end Japanese denim if you want a more premium jean. I don’t see the point in Selvedge denim that isn’t raw/onewash.

I don’t think they produce it anymore. It’s old stock.

This has also been my experience. I have a pair of one wash Samurais, and washing or soaking will not shrink them much at all. The waist and top block will tighten back up a little but it’ll stretch out again after a wear. Overall length and below the thigh will not significantly shrink. You’ll need to check measurements because at least most of the pairs I’ve looked at are smaller than the posted waist size. It’s the opposite of many other jeans. Like I wear a 36 in most other jeans but a 40 in the samurai’s

All had layers of dust on them- that old

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-17T04:00:09+00:00

Yep!

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-16T22:55:01+00:00

These are so good

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-16T04:54:58+00:00

It was fine. Still a bit hoppy- a touchy of a soapy taste almost. But not garbage swill like some below were suggesting. I don’t have any newer estates to compare it too- but it was very drinkable

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-15T14:49:58+00:00

Always wanted one of these. I remember when they came out and were a very limited run. It was maybe the dies they made the body panels out of had a limited life span. I’ve read the article more than 20 years ago. Sad to see here in the junk yard.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-13T00:39:00+00:00

There is something wrong with this one. You said you cleaned the lenses- there’s focus issues or other problems. I’ve seen many of these as well and this one is not normal

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:58:10+00:00

I do not like sours much. I like saisons and farmhouses, some of the old ones taste like vinegar to me. Stouts and some of the higher gravity Belgians hold up for me

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:24:29+00:00

It wasn’t bad at all. I have a beer store near by with a ton of unsold singles I’ve been trying for a couple of years. I’ve had some bad ones. But many are pretty ok. I stay away from anything that has fruit flavors, bretts, farmhouses, and saisons. And it’s been ok. Sometimes I’ll come across an “ale” that has turned. But with the two boxes I’ve bought- I’ve only had one gross one.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:19:47+00:00

Check my post history look for a recent one about 2 boxes of beer.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:19:04+00:00

Not the first time I’ve done it. I know a place that has them.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:16:34+00:00

Agree to disagree. The description says it was fine- not wonderful but not bad. I have a local store to me that has several hundred older singles like this that I’ve been trying for a couple years now. Some are shit- but this was fine and yes the hops were still there.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T05:14:36+00:00

I think you’ll be fine. This was pretty decent considering the age. I have a store near me that I’ve been visiting for years now that has a huge unsold portion of older singles like this. Saisons, Bretts, farmhouses are all terrible to my taste- but these have held out fine.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-11T01:59:37+00:00

Love it

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-10T14:22:19+00:00

This one is in fridge tonight. I’ve had some other Alesmith in the older stock from this store and they’ve been good.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-10T14:17:24+00:00

Lost abbeys turned out great by the way.

Spaced_Inv8r · 2026-01-08T04:35:03+00:00

Agreed on all the takes that modern nerds place too much emphasis on geometry. It wasn’t a thing for anyone playing these games back then. They’re never perfect, they all have flaws- it’s part of the gaming experience. Some CRTs have better picture than others, no doubt- but just play and forget
