I always start out with a long "to buy" list that gets pared down as I remind myself of certain "fiscal realities" [-X
I had THE BIG HEAT (1953) on pre-order for some time, but I still hope to get THE GUNFIGHTER (1950) and one other title before the sale ends.
THE BIG HEAT is one of my all-time go to film noirs and you can never go wrong with Gloria Grahame. :x
Yes, I have a huge wishlist myself just so I remember everything I want in due time, but there are always several titles I will prioritize. The Big Heat is an awesome film, and I was pretty surprised by just how intense and dark it was for its time. Definitely want that one in my collection someday.
Arrives on Thursday I will be having a great long weekends viewing.
3 film Digistick Julia Roberts (set from UK but include Dutch subs): Erin Brockovich (2000) / Stepmom (1998, from Chris Columbus) / My Best Friend's Wedding (1997). This last movie i already have in another Sony Dutch boxset, the disc include same only named SE this time insteed of CE.
La science des rêves aka The Science of Sleep (2006). French movie in French, English and Spanish from the directer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind. € 0,50.
National Security (2003)
Effi Briest (2009) German movie.
Janine - 2 Disc Digipack: DVD + CD (2010) € 1,50. With Roger Moore.
In 2009 Janine Jansen a Dutch violist made magazine with the same name. I bought it in 2010 and take with me to my holiday in Greece that year. The Magazine include interview with Roger Moore and there visit Croatia for classic music performing she did there in 2008. We see some pre production with 2-3 minutes of Roger with preview of (the not very good) interview and in the public at the concert. It a shame that Dutch talk show episode or part of from 2008 where both be guest and talk about the Magazine and documentry is not at as extra.
Copenhagen (Tv Movie, 2002) & A Perfect Spy (7 Part Mini Series 1987) - 3 Disc Digipack. € 1,50. Stephen Rea who is seen with Daniel Craig in the movie playing in the same year with Pierce Brosnan in Evelyn.
The Warrior (2001) Indian movie in Hindi. With Irrfan Khan (A Mighty Heart, Life Of Pi, Jurassic World ). Music by Dario Marianelli ( who also did music of Jane Eyre from NTTD directer). Include DTS. No extra's credit, but include trailer with music and Dutch subtiteld feature with Behind Scenes and interviews.
Promenons-Nous Dans Les Bois aka Deep In The Woods (2000) French movie with François Berléand (Transporter movies) Full DTS (1509 bitrate)
I already had the 2013 DVD 2 disc release that had both the 1933 and 1976 versions. But when I learned that they had finally released a remastered version that included the 1978 NBC TV extended cut of the film I couldn't resist it(not unlike the 1982 ABC TV extended cut of Superman: The Movie that was finally released on blu-ray a few years ago).
Lots of extras but sadly no option for an isolated score only track featuring the work of Bond mastercomposer John Barry.
Yesterday on Bluray for € 2,50 each:
Annihilation (2018)
Three Thousand Years Of Longing (2022)
Secret Garden (2020) Produced by David Heyman
Bones And All (2022)
The Last Voyage Of The Demeter (2023)
Outstanding!
I too held off on buying the current version of NIGHTMARE ALLEY (2021) since I really wanted a set that contained both the color and B&W versions.
I haven't seen any of these but I've started getting interested in the EuroSpy film genre. Plus I was especially curious to watch OSS 117-Double Agent since it features the almost-Bond John Gavin as the hero as well as Bond series vets Luciana Paluzzi(Volpe from TB) and Curt Jurgens(Stromberg from TSWLM) in its supporting cast. I assume this film is the reason Gavin almost played 007 in DAF:
P.S. I have already lost access to albums I bought on Amazon Music they have completely disappeared from the site/app, I have a huge physical media library thankfully and I am more and more less inclined to buy digital. The future of media is you will own nothing and basically rent most stuff, which I dislike a lot.
Desert Saints (2002)
20 July:
Then She Found Me (2007)
Eat Pray Love (2010)
Fiddler on the Roof (1971) with Topol (Columbo in FYEO was casted by Dana Broccoli because of this movie.) € 1,50.
