>will check out all of your recommendations...
Damn, I've rec'd a whole lot of "definites." I'd rent those ones to see, too, so that you know what to buy.
>i almost bought this the other night but passed because >eventually he'll include his wife's documentary in the >release: "Apocalypse Now: Complete Dossier Redux" lol...
LOL. I'm really disappointed that Hearts of Darkness isn't included.
Some more:
Definites:
“Spirit of the Beehive” Criterion (Erice)
-Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.
“Angel At My Table” Criterion Collection (Campion)
-One of the best films of the 90’s. Unique. Lovely. Extremely interesting. Outstanding acting. A biopic done well. I don’t like biopics in general, run of the mill ones. Great DVD.
“Freaks and Geeks” (Yearbook Edition – on the show website)
-They might still have them. I ordered mine might quite late ?2? years after its release…on “while supplies last” status.
“L’eclisse” Criterion (Antonioni)
-if you like L’avventura and Antonioni. Perhaps his finest work. Worth seeing for the ending alone.
“Orpheus” Criterion (Cocteau)
Wow. Wow. Wow.
“Black Orpehus” Criterion (Camus)
Definitely.
------
Maybe’s (rent first):
“Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter,…and Spring” (Kim)
-gorgeous. Interesting. To me, exciting. Quite a few PTP supporters, but not near-universal PTP acclaim like Yi Yi.
“3-iron” (Kim)
-Quirky. Romantic. Dreamy. I love films with “no” dialogue.
“Last Life in the Universe” (Ratanaruang)
-Doyle cinematography. Illusory. Ambiguous. Soul. Mood. Hey, if people listen to music for mood why can’t they do that w/ movies?
“Dumplings” (Chan)
-Doyle. Maybe, maybe…his best shot film. I certainly wouldn’t scoff at that notion. Horror. Extended and short versions on the “Three…Extremes” DVD.
“Onibaba” Criterion Collection (Shindo)
-b/c you have Ugetsu and Kwaidan and if you like them, you might like this.
“Playtime” Criterion (Tati)
-b/c you have M. Hulot and Mon Oncle and if you like them, you might like this. And because Tati is such a unique filmmaker.
“Badlands” (Malick)
-b/c you have…and you might like….
“Days of Heaven (Malick)
-definitely rent this, Region 1 transfer is average. Maybe someone like colonelk can speak on another region. I can’t find anything else on DVDBeaver.
Hope I rec'd some stuff you will like...we'll see. No problem.
