A man to have a woman with the same hobbies. Blessed.
Welcome to "The Apartment" Club. So glad I grabbed this one when it came out.
Awesome video guys and ty for doing what you do! Keep being awesome, everyone stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!
@@Trekapedia Thanks, Trek. Always appreciate your comments!
@@FilmsByColor my pleasure anytime!
"To Have And Have Not" (1944) is amazing. Love that Hawks picture. Perfect pairing of Bogart & Bacall, their first as well. It's a loose take on Hemingway. There's another film a noir from director Michael Curtiz called "The Breaking Point" (1950) that is closer to Hemingway's work. Both classics in their own right.
Fun, fun, fun video. Love to see the stores by y'all. "The Quiet Man" is a fantastic Ford feature.
Absolutely love The Quiet Man. Might have to go become a yearly watch
Awesome pick ups! 3 movies I would suggest if you don’t have them would be Mr. Church, Edge of Seventeen, and Perks of being a Wallflower.
Great haul. Across the universe is a great film. One of my personal favorites. There is a 4K release, but only through Amazon. The 4k looks amazing & is worth the upgrade in my opinion. Hope all is well.
@@FilmTalkWithMikey Oh wow. I didn’t even know there was a 4K. Thanks for the heads up
I remember wondering why Across the Universe hadn’t had a 4K yet, only to look it up and see that it was released in 2018! I gotta pick it up soon
Awesome blu-ray hunting trip video and pick-ups buddy. Just discovered your RUclips channel today man, amazing content bro. Subbed & liked!
To have and have not...wonderful. You're in for a treat. 👏
Virginia Woolf! One of the first DVDs I bought. Outstanding. 👏
It's interesting that here in Burbank which is really the center of the American Film Industry that our local used blu-ray stores rarely have titles from the Warner Archive collection. Always lots of other boutique titles at great prices. ( I work at Warner Bros. and wish that I had access to the Archive titles at a discount price,)
@@brunochambre im actually in LA this weekend. Just went to Amoeba yesterday. What other stores do you recommend here?
Great team! I miss those blu ray stores, they're gone and done here in Brazil since 2012, I think. And don't let Mike Nichols light films fool you. Virginia Woolf is harsh and heavy stuff.
Ah that sucks, man. We don’t have many stores left. Just a few, and it’s tough to find things. But it’s fun to visit every once in a while. Thanks for watching!
Brother's Keeper is amazing. Such a powerful story.
@@zadehgenerous9331 Good to hear! Might have to go back for that one. I didn’t know anything about it at the time
@FilmsByColor i have a huge altered innocence collection and it's definitely a highlight especially cause it has the slipcover
That CD Warehouse in Marietta GA is amazing. I've been there 3-4 times, they have quite the treasure trove. Its also better than the one in Duluth.
@@Shah-of-the-Shinebox oh interesting. I didn’t know there was one in Duluth. Ever find any good stuff there?
@FilmsByColor from time to time. I live in NC and I have family in GA I visit some so I always make it a point to visit the cd warehouses there. There used to be one in Roswell but unfortunately closed.
Hi I’m Anthony and I also have a copy of Yor 😂! It’s quite fun with a unique ending.
Now you’ve got me even more interested!
@@FilmsByColor You’ll definitely have a good time! Great find on “The Apartment” I was lucky enough to get a copy when it first came out from Arrow!
Just discovered 2nd and Charles this year, always find something worth bringing home! The Apartment is so good I have the Arrow Academy just didn’t know there was a box set, hope I didn’t get ripped off 😮Great video nice pickups.
love when Grace makes an appearance, you guys rock!
@@FryGuyWhy Thanks! These are a lot of fun to make
Sorry, I was there at CD Warehouse a few weeks ago and bought the only Criterion blu they had in Black Beauty. I love that place. I agree with you in that 2nd And Charles isn't the best place to find good movies too. Hope you guys have a great week!
@@lostnthenoise haha, no worries. I already have Black Beauty. Hope you got it for a good price!
@@FilmsByColor And I just realized it was The Black Stallion on Criterion, not Black Beauty... Oops... And yes it was at a great price!
Great haul! But noooooooooo you passed on Boogie Nights?!?!
To Have and Have Not was made after a conversation Hemingway and Hawks had during a hunting trip. Basically Hemingway and Hawks agreed it was his worst novel and Hemingway then said no one could make a movie out of it and Hawks took the challenge.
Love that aspect of the film & that Hawks was even friendly with Hemingway. The way Hawks went about making the adaptation, what to focus the story on. It's an all-round Classic for a reason.
I found a copy of Yor at dollar general for 3 bucks. Such a crazy surprise.
Oh man, that’s even cheaper than I got it for. I think I paid $5. Do you find stuff at Dollar General often?
@@FilmsByColor Prisoners of a Ghostland and Species are two other gems I've found
Yor is cheesy, cheap, fun and has Corinne Clery. It is basically and italian movie with cavemen, dinosaurs and extraterrestrials. I found it once on VHS and the second half had no image. Many years later got it on DVD and now I have on Blu-ray. It's a guilty pleasure but if it has science fiction and or dinosaurs I keep them in my collection no matter what. Greetings from Sweden!
Love To Have and Have Not! It’s a big Casablanca knockoff that’s not as perfect, but still really good. It’s worth it just to see B&B falling in love with eachother every moment they’re on screen.
I’m a big Bogart and Bacall fan (I’ve seen over 50 Bogart films!) and I absolutely recommend checking out all four of their collaborations - To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, and Key Largo :)
Also, I’m SO jealous of that The Apartment pickup!!!
@@mckenziewilkes We own all four of those. We should start making our way through them. What order should we watch them in?
@@FilmsByColor no particular order really, they’re all very different and stand on their own, though I like in order chronologically! That has you ending with Key Largo which is definitely my personal favorite - you’ll enjoy if you like single-setting dramas/thrillers
When 2nd and Charles hits, it hits. Have had some good luck at the Roswell location. Totally forgot CD Warehouse was still in business lol
@@sweetgregt I’ve never been to the Roswell location. Is it a good store?
@@FilmsByColor It doesn't have the same massive inventory as the Kennesaw location but I've been lucky and scored a ton of 4K movies that were recently traded in. It's much smaller and newer but is starting to get some more good things traded in.
Another good Bogart and Bacall movie is Key Largo. My favorite that the duo was in
I actually saw Yor : The Hunter From the Future in the theater! I was ten years old. It was the Summer of 1983. My family and I were on vacation in Maine. We went every summer for about five years. On that trip, my father took me to see Yor, Krull, and Wargames! My old man loved movies as much as I did....even crappy movies like Yor.
Movie hunting with a beautiful wife... My man is living the dream
Awesome video! Cronos is a must - I’ve got that edition too. I hope you got Yor! Ha. No horror section in the first store? Too bad. Great video nonetheless! 😎👍🏻 -Aaron
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is utterly superb
Last Night In Soho Is A Fantastic Movie And The 4K Transfer Is Amazing The Colors In The Film Just Pop On 4K
@@CinemaSlayer89 That’s good to hear. I’ve heard mixed things. I may have to go back for that one
Secondhand stores are the best!
@@numericalcode Yes! I love picking through second hand stores. They’re getting harder and harder to find though these days though
Subscribed!💎
I go to a 2nd and Charles when I visit my family in South Carolina along with Mr K’s. 2nd and Charles is always overwhelming because they have so much and they seemingly put no effort into organizing anything. Also they don’t seem that stringent about what condition the items they buy are in. Definitely prefer HPB which we have here in Ohio as well as The Exchange.
@@ethanedwards7557 Yeah HPB is much better at organizing. Plus, they don’t have as much because they put stuff on clearance after a while. I’m pretty sure some of this stuff has been at 2nd & Charles for over a decade.
Brawl in cell block 99 is pretty crazy. Definitely a violent film and a different side of Vince Vaughn. The writer/director did a movie called Bone Tomahawk. I highly recommend it. It’s a western/horror movie that’s amazing. It’s got Tarantino dialogue and humor as well as very cool action. Definitely different than any movie I’ve ever seen
That is a great find on The Apartment Arrow blu-ray. If you like cinema related books, you may be interested to know that Shirley MacLaine has a new book - The Wall of Life: Pictures and Stories from This Marvelous Lifetime - being released later this month on Oct 22.
On "Public Enemies" it's interesting the place John Dillinger has in general crime movies. There's a number of films either about him or featuring him, of course a number of true crime docu-drama stuff, and that line in Reservoir Dogs about being "deader than Dillinger" which is neat considering Lawrence Tierney (who played Joe Cabot) played Dillinger in the first Dillinger movie. But more than that, Dillinger influenced Bogart's character in "High Sierra." The film "Public Enemies" I don't recall much, but Dillinger makes for interesting pictures.
Def has a michael mann feel to it.
@playedout148 makes sense, although I've only seen 2 Mann movies. "Heat" and "Public Enemies". "Heat" kind of blows most films away in the dust, sort of like what happened there to the real John Dillinger outside that there movie theater in Chicago. He had seen "Manhattan Melodrama" by Woodbridge Strong Van Dyke.
Michael Mann that's a name, but Woodbridge Strong Van Dyke that's something else.
Brawl in Cellblock 99 is great. Pretty much anything the director S Craig Zahler) does (Bone Tomahawk, Dragged Across Concrete) is great. It's all uber violent, but the storytelling is elevates it.
"No problems here" lol
I love collecting movies and box sets. I did rearrange it by franchise but now I might do it by Alphabetical to make it more fun
Keep physical alive people
True
1:50 seriously dude? Your lovely wife was obviously overjoyed by finding Miss Taylor!
Great video just subscribed
@@Cinematictimewithjason Welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy the content
@@FilmsByColor thank you hope you do a collection video
I've seen Yor. It's almost so bad it's good. Maybe worth watching with friends to poke fun at it. Actor Reb Brown, who plays Yor, has been in some really bad movies: Space Mutiny, Yor, Howling II and the made for TV Captain America movies from 1979. And I met him at a convention in Pittsburgh, PA a few years ago. Nice guy who is aware of the poor quality of most of his films but he has fun talking about them.
Own YOR. Hate YOR. Enjoy!
@@boverhof3 Haha! Sounds like fun. Thanks for the ringing endorsement
Hi
Have Yor on VHS. It's brutally bad. One thing that I always remember is the scene where the guy is shot with a "laser", the effect was really excellent. Yea, like my VHS copy of ETN, Extra Teresterial Nasty, can't give it away, it always boomerang back. So it's in a box with lots of other VHS stuff. At one point me and the late wife had more than 800 VHS movies. Plus 100's more of taped stuff from TV to keep. Those were the days.
Be safe
What is the much better version available for Edward Scissorhands? I have the Blu Ray in the vid, I thought that’s the best available version?
Some fun picks, but I think you missed a good bet by not snagging that Looney Tunes 6 volume DVD box set. I picked them up individually as they came out back in the day, and not only do they contain a lot of content that has yet to make it to blu-ray, but there are tons of documentaries and commentaries as well...
Finding a dvd is like finding a needle in a haystack these days.
Hey great channel, just subscribed im from the UK 🇬🇧 did you watch the v for vendetta on the 5th November lol
@@georgevideos1849 No! I set a reminder on my phone, but it never went off 🤦♂️ It’s just not meant to be I guess. Thanks for subscribing though. Welcome to the channel!
Love the idea of a big box used media chain but 2nd & Charles dissapoints me. The prices are about what you would pay online (or more) when you include shipping - feels like they could charge less than since you are there in the flesh with no shipping required.
Also I very much DISLIKE how they mix DVD and Blu-ray on the shelves. Pretty annoying if you are only interested in Blu-ray.
@@BluRayBandit Yeah I rarely find deals that are better than eBay. It is more fun to find stuff in the wild though, so I’m okay paying the same or even a couple bucks more sometimes.
do you guys live in ga
As others have said you guys will love To Have and Have Not.
Not to many hard to find titles 📀
Yor is good silly fun.
Dang she’s perfect this dude is lucky to have her and amazing video you guys
@@Cinephilesteve7909 Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel
@@FilmsByColor you are very welcome keep up the amazing videos
Yor: The Hunter From The Future is Corny goodness
Perfect. That’s just what I was hoping for
U r partner lady Soo beautiful
I feel like the two of you should sit in armchairs at 120-degrees so that you can glance at each other -- Directly adjacent you kept missing glances.
So many great picks. Awesome lucky find with Arrow's THE APARTMENT. The best film of the lot goes to .... VIRGINIA WOOLF, this film is up there with LION IN WINTER. TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT is also terrific. Enjoyed watching ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and need to rewatch. BTW, not sure if Grace told you and I don't know if you have the film or not, but Kino sale has Rohmer's FOUR ADVENTURES OF REINETTE AND MIRABELLE BR for $12
@@henrybiedenkapp675 thanks for the heads up. I do have that title in my Arrow Academy Eric Rohmer box set. I’ll have to look through the other titles they have for sale though.
