What an Amazing haul Mike, I’ll be honest I never saw ANY of these but as always I add them to my list in my notebook. I’m a fan of silent films and love the film noir films, I’m still working on the list you had bought before. Very well done and always an interesting background on the movies you buy as well. Be Well my friend
A lot of these titles are blind buys for me as well, so it's always a new experience when these Kino packages arrive. It will take me a while to get through all of these, so my Summer and Fall schedule is pretty well set. Film Noir has become my favorite genre. There is so much to explore. Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Mike! What a great haul! I guess I know less about the silent era films than I thought. I don't know too many of the others either. What I live about film and art in general is how much there is still to experience. Now that I seem to not like much of anything modern I can go back and experience films I've never seen! And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about my next Every year video, lol. I just have several series I'm trying to keep up but it's in the queue. I've already picked out the film for 1973 but I haven't watched it since I was a kid so I'll have to re view it to make my vid!
I know exactly what you mean about exploring the cinematic past rather than the cinematic present. Do you ever get the feeling that the film industry is in its last era, gasping for breath and about to come to a screeching halt? They just seem to be running completely out of creative ideas, but instead are repeating the same things over and over. I suppose that's a little too cynical, as they do manage to come out with some good, even wonderful, films now and then. No worries about our little film project. We don't have a timetable!! I've got my 1970 film picked out and need to rewatch it soon.
Some intriguing videos you have there, Mike. Everything that I’ve seen of James Whale, including his non horror films has a certain flair to it, so the one you have is very likely worth watching.. “Brighton Rock” is good and very faithful to the Graham Greene novel, which I read on a whim because I learned that Morrissey referenced the characters in a song of his called “Now My Heart Is Full”… I went through a Valentino phase because my father, born in 1915, (twelve years older than my mom) always talked about the pandemonium on the streets of New York when Rudolph Valentino died.. He claimed (maybe a grain of salt is needed) that there was no pop cultural phenomenon that was its equal - not Frank Sinatra, not Elvis etc.. I’ve seen four or five of his films and my favorite is his last, “Son Of The Sheik” (1926), which I prefer greatly over the earlier film, “The Sheik” (1921) because of the great improvements and advancements of silent movie making over those five years - the film quality set designs etc had become so much better. The movie is very corny by our standards, but very charming and fun, and it has its own unique kind of atmosphere…Kind of a shame in a way that talkies came along in the late 1920’s because silent movies were really coming into their own imo.. enjoyed the video as usual Mike!
Hi Thomas! Always great to hear from you! I don't think I've ever seen anything non-horror related by James Whale. Your father had a good point about Valentino hysteria. Maybe that particular phenomenon is still talked about today because it was the first such event. It kind of underlines the impact motion pictures have had on our culture and behavior. I probably need to seek out Son of the Sheik to get the full effect! I think Lillian Gish would have agreed with your comment about talkies coming in right when silents were reaching a new level of sophistication. Certainly, Charlie Chaplin would have. I remember hearing Miss Gish saying in a documentary that silents produced a kind of international language of movement and imagery that wasn't limited by speech. When the first talkies came out, all of a sudden everyone was singing and dancing, and not all that well most of the time! Thanks for commenting!
How exciting! What a fascinating selection. Man With a Movie Camera is so visually inventive…Really pleased to see you picked up a couple of Brit classics, Brighton Rock and The Blue Lamp….. I’m a big fan of Electra Glide in blue and did a video on it a little while back…..a number of others there that I haven’t seen but would like to….If you get on well with Bob Le Flambeur then there’s other great Melville choices you can get. For example, On Kino Lorber I’m very fond of Un Flic (despite one scene which is very obvious when it comes up) and on Criterion Army of Shadows and Le Cercle Rouge are both outstanding. Kino Lorber is such a great label for unearthing some gems.
Thanks, Neil, for the comments and suggestions! There will always be so much to discover and explore. it looks like I'll have to live forever to experience everything. We'll see how that works out!!
Mike BRIGHTON ROCK and THE BLUE LAMP are both fantastic films. Any Melville film is a must-have, I think you'll like BOB THE GAMBLER, it influenced the French New Wave. BY CANDLELIGHT is pretty fun. Next time try THE CAPTIVE HEART, great British War II drama
Thank you for the comments, Jay! This is definitely a "blind buy" kind of haul, so there will be a lot to learn and explore. I believe The Captive heart was also available in this Kino sale. Thanks for the recommendation.
You certainly are a bit more adventurous than I am when it comes to purchasing films. Though maybe not your cup of tea, there are many youtube channels that feature old films and silent films, too. A blind Valentino buy would freak me out. Kudos to your Jean Pierre Melville choice. He's hard to beat. Excellent filmmaker. Your early Kubrick is a good one. But doesn't indicate the greatness to come later. And finally you bought a movie I approve of...ha ha! Electra Glide in Blue is great. Directed by James William Guercio the producer of the group Chicago. In fact, many band members are in the movie. Blake had stated numerous times that he directed most of the film. Who knows? If you recall Blake from Baretta you'd see him acting with old Hollywood actors like Tom Ewell on the TV show and again with Elisha Cook Jr. as Willie in Electra Glide. Good stuff.
Hey Unca Buzz! Welcome back! I do sub to a lot of channels on YT that show old films, some of which are very low-budget and obscure. I decided it was high time for me to see Valentino in something, anything, to see what all the fuss was about. A lot of people have said good things about Electra Glide in Blue, so I look forward to digging into it. Melville is a big mystery, and Kubrick is always worth exploring. I remember when Baretta was on, but my working hours at the time prevented me from watching it, so one day I might have to check it out. Elisha Cook, Jr. is a true screen immortal.
A lot of nice titles there. I've never heard of a few of them I must admit. Haven't seen The Blue Lamp but Brighton Rock is really good, very gritty. Maybe Britain's best noir, at least the best known I would say. Whenever I hear William Holden falling in love with a young girl I think of The World of Suzie Wong. I love that movie. Have a good one.
I watched the William Holden film, Breezy, last night, and it's pretty good. There are so many blind buys in this haul, so I'm expecting a lot of surprises. Hopefully good ones! Thanks for commenting!
I didn't notice The Good, the Bad, etc. in the Kino catalogue. But then, they have so many titles, it's almost impossible to remember them all. Thie haul was mostly blind buys, so I have a lot of new experiences ahead. Thanks for watching!
Nice big haul! I remember learning that to this day, there has been no bigger star than Rudolph Valentino. I saw The Sheik with him in it at Ebertfest. I didn’t grab any Kinos, but if I would have, it would’ve been 12 Angry Men and The Taking of Pelham 123.
Thanks for commenting! That's probably true about Valentino. He seemed to be the first movie star that captured the public imagination in a powerful way. And I've still never seen his work. The original 12 Angry Men is wonderful. Kino also sells a remake that is fairly recent and very much worth seeing.
Kino has so many great titles its hard not to make multiple purchases during a sale. Great pick ups I have Blue Skies on VHS excellent film, almost picked up that version of Front Page although The Jack Lemmon Walter Matthau one is my favorite.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I tend to get more involved with Kino these days than I do Criterions. I think I saw the Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau version of The Front Page. They were such a great team.
What a haul, Mike. Homeric! And another to come! Good catch on Colbert’s preferred angle. I am also committed to watching some more silent movies. I stayed wide awake through the last two I watched and that is a great accomplishment. Can’t wait to see Part 2. Your first haul would keep me busy for a couple of months.
Hi Roger! Good job staying awake through TWO silent pictures! I admit to having some trouble as well, but I'm determined to keep exploring. A moment of silent respect for Miss Colbert and her profile!!
Roger and Mike @grey1951, I have found that some of the most famous silent films deserve their reputation. They can be really amazing, technically and in terms of drama and emotion. The best of them don't use very many text cards, so you're not reading dialog every minute or so. I see that PANDORA'S BOX (Pabst, 1929) is set for bluray, I think from Arrow later this year. That will be worth your time if you don't know the film, it's absolutely incredible and with very few dialog inserts, told mostly thru the moving image. It must have shocked viewers in its day with frank content. I may have mentioned WINGS, another eye-popping silent, with interesting story and stunning aerial scenes. Well, I won't go on.....I hope you can see THE CAPTIVE HEART at some point
@@mackjay1777 I have the Criterion release of Pandora's Box, and you're right, it's an incredible film. The title cards are a huge help for me in following a story, I admit. Maybe my mind has trouble getting adjusted for silent films. But there are many that I love. I have a copy of the Theda Bara film East Lynne from, I believe, 1917. It's a good DVD copy, but there are practically no title cards, and I honestly have little idea of what the story is about. Some films, like Nosferatu, can rely on imagery more than others, at least in my experience. Pandora's Box was shocking for its time, and I don't think it played very much at all in America for a long time. I think that's partly why Louis Brooks' reputation as an actress declined in Hollywood, as people weren't able to see her best work. Of course, there was more to her decline than just that.
I hope that watch pile is shrinking Mike, you know they are for watching right?😉🙃 Breezy is a great film, I have it in an 8 film box set. I will be watching Hangmen Also Die tonight if I can find my Arrow copy. Nice haul. Trevor
Hi Trevor! Wait...you mean a watch pile is for watching? Not just piling up neatly and staring at it??? Are you sure? I'll have to give some serious thought to this revelation. In truth, the watch pile WAS getting smaller, but this Kino situation has changed all of that. Last night, I watched Brezzy and it was a very sweet love story. Thanks for commenting!
He did one more???!!!!!?????? Well, there I go making serious mistakes! Thanks for letting me know. I thought sure this was his last film. I believe he died in 1966, right? Very sad that he died so young. Brilliant actor.
hi Mike Great to see you are still buying Physical Media i still do My Brother was telling me just today that the Simpson will not be realising any more Simpson on Physical media My Brother is disappointed as he loves the Simpsons do you think that is the start of the end of Physical media alot of our big stores have NO physical media Target KMart Myer sad to see that happen ill keep buying them i just ordered the box set of the TV series of the fugitive for $30 witch you to cost about $ 70 and some other CDs again it will sad if they go our second hand stores dont even want any physical for free they said no one buys it Whats it like in The USA is physical still going ok Take care stay safe and keep collecting
Hi Frank! Sorry to hear about the physical media situation where you are. I never got to Target and we don't have any K Marts. The only place I shop is Barnes & Noble which still has lots of movies, records, books, and still sells CDs. I hear other TH-camrs talk about some of their local stores not carrying the items they use to sell. I do think the retail market is changing. Whether or not that means physical media is going to disappear is another question. Many people think that movies will become a specialized, niche market from mostly the boutique labels like Kino-Lorber, Criterion, and Vinegar Syndrome. That could be true. It's also possible that the trend could eventually go in the other direction, like what happened with vinyl records. My feeling is, I have a great collection that I can keep on enjoying, even if the market changes. For me, it's mostly the old movies that matter, and that's where my collecting focus is. Try not to worry too much, Frank. If it becomes necessary to buy mostly online, then we can all make that adjustment. Try to enjoy what you have and what's available right now. I think physical media will always be around in some form, even if it's limited. Take care, and thanks for watching my video.
Well I’ve only heard of two of these. Breezy which I don’t really like and Fear and Desire which I don’t mind. I’ve always liked the look of Kino more than Criterion but Criterion came here and Kino didn’t.
Hi Ian, and thanks for commenting! I watched Breezy last night and it's a sweet little love story, although totally predictable. I have to admit I spend more money on Kino these days than Criterion. They just have more things that interest me.
You should make sure to keep your wallet out of Kino's reach. Don't end up destitute like me. Someday I'll be living on the street surrounded by DVDs and Blu-rays. But...I'll be happy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, I don't have any room for these on the shelves!! At least, I'm reaching that point. This collecting thing is getting a little bit out of hand, Bob.
Great haul Mike! Roger's video sold me on There's No Tomorrow as well. Went for Electra Glide in Blue (Neil's video got me interested) and Death in the Garden too. Being in the UK, I went with Indicator's LE release of Freud. Look forward to your discussions of these films and the second part of the haul.
Thank you for commenting! These sales hauls keep me so overwhelmed with movies that it's difficult to decide what to watch. I usually get so frustrated that I give up and watch something I've seen 20 times! Ah yes, the life of a dedicated collector. These titles are all new to me, so I expect a lot of surprises.
@@grey1951 It is so great to hear other people share these things which I experience too, the overwhelm in choosing what to watch. I am in the same boat, most everything I am watching or learning about from you and others is all new to me. The surprises have been all pleasant so far. I hope your's are too. But then again as we discussed previously, even if they aren't who knows, in the future there could be a different take. Look forward to your discussion of the silent films, I am trying to get greater exposure to those.
Nice to know someone has spent more money on home video than I have recently!
Yeah, I have definitely gone more than a little bit crazy this time. My movie room is running out of space. I think I'm going to need a bigger house!

Thanks Jared! There are so many good titles coming from Kino. I'm sure you'd find quite a few films that would interest you. Take care!

Great to see you are still buying Physical Media
