I like the by decade approach to this list I picked up the Cassavetes set, Throw Down, Hollywood Shuffle, Elevator To The Gallows, Walker, and Citizen Kane on the sale
took your advice and order It Happened One Night, Rebecca, and Come And See. Highly recommend The Thin Red Line, Wings Of Desire, and Local Hero. 515 Criterions in my collection.
The Innocents is a great horror film, I own the BFI version which is quite rare to get a hold of. Some other great recommendations too, I really want to check out Ikuru and Beau Travail soon!
My favourite Chaplin is Monsieur Verdoux...wonderfully dark comedy. And Rope is my fave Hitchcock! One of the R-R-Rs as it will now be known! 😅 What a shout for The In-Laws! "SERPENTINE, SHELLEY!". You know what that feeling is on the end of your tongue, Nate? GOOD TASTE! Anyway, top recommendations. I'd add Lost In America from Albert Brooks, Shampoo with Warren Beatty, Polyester from John Waters, Eraserhead from David Lynch, Safety Last from Harold Lloyd, His Girl Friday with Cary Grant, Royal Tenenbaums from Wes Anderson, F For Fake from Orson Welles, The Innocents from Jack Clayton, Howard Hawk's Only Angels Have Wings, A Matter Of Life And Death from Powell And Pressberger, Destry Rides Again with Jimmy Stewart aaaaaaand Dressed To Kill and Mona Lisa simply because Nate loved my Michael Caine impression at the weekend! ☺
Interesting choices, and interesting: BY DECADE method!!!

Happy Criterion Flash Sale day! I limited myself to two today - My Winnipeg and Daisies. Both recent watches I really enjoyed and wanted to add to my collection. Funnily enough, the other film I really wanted was Beau Travail. But that'll have to wait. I could not agree with you more about Portrait of a Lady on Fire. It's an absolute masterpiece. The In-Laws is one of my dad's favorite movies. I got him the Criterion for his birthday last year and we watched it together. Can't beat Peter Falk and Alan Arkin.
Thanks, Roni! I still need to get My Winnipeg, but I've seen it and really enjoy it! Hope you get Beau Travail soon enough! Glad that we agree on Portrait, it's phenomenal! And you really can't beat Falk and Arkin, haha!
"They Live" That is one of those movies that was enjoyable in its own right, but I think it is due a high budget remake! I realize this is off topic, but you cannot NOT see that fantastic shirt you are wearing. I am a movie idiot so all of those films are new to me. I am only as deep as a thimble when it comes to the depth of my movie watching, but I still enjoy your brief commentaries of the films you show us. Keep up the good work.
Amazing Shirt❤ and great Recommendations!
I watched It happened one Night yesterday. A really beautiful Film.
Thanks, my friend! Glad you dug the shirt and the recs 😁 And that film is phenomenal!
I love that shirt you have on!!
Haha, thanks pal! It's iconic!

Wow! Thanks for getting those films, you won't regret it (hopefully 🙏). And fantastic choices that you recommended too!

Such a great film! Highly recommend those other two as well, but you know. Cheers to ya both 🤘
I have tried three times to get all of the praise with Come and See. For some reason it hasn’t hit for me. Maybe a fourth try won’t hurt.
It certainly is a tough one, but I understand it not 'hitting' though. Thanks for watching!
I ended up grabbing Woman in the Dunes and Memories of Murder. Very excited to add them to my collection!
Thanks, Brady! I still need to see my copy of Woman in the Dunes! Cheers pal!
Not a bad shout in there at all - these would make a great film festival in their own right.
Looking forward to seeing what you pick up 👍
Thanks, pal! Now a film festival is a great idea for this haha! Always great to see you, my friend. Cheers!
I got
Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams
El Norte
Rushmore
Double Indemnity
The Apu Trilogy
Amazing choices, Reginald! Thanks for watching, my friend!

Great choices I'd have to second, Davy! And Rope is one of them RRR's haha! Who cannot love The In Laws?
Great recommendations pal 👍 Beau Travail is probably in my top 5 films of the 90s and has one of the most amazing endings ever. Thanks for sharing 🤘
Thanks, pal! I knew you'd love my choice of Beau Travail, haha! Cheers, my friend 🤘
