So cool to have a partner in life who shares your passion for films. Excellent picks!
It's called a girlfriend or wife, stop trying to normalize partner.
I was in B&N Monday in NYC, before flying back to England. I brought 7 titles. If…,Breaker Morant, Days of Heaven, House,Sweet smell of success, Something Wild & An Unmarried Woman. So happy
Your haul videos have inspired me to dust off my passport and cross the border to go shop at the sale
RUclips just recommended this video to me and I'm already hooked on your channel. Love the aesthetic of it and you guys are so enjoyable to watch!
Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to the channel!
You guys make these videos so fun. Love the different perspective on taste as well. Night on Earth is a high recommendation has one of the funniest cab scenes ever filmed. Looking forward to future videos. Take care.
Thanks for the kinds words. Glad you enjoy these. We have a great time making them
Anytime! It’s all well deserved!
I haven’t see all that jazz in ages. Gonna rewatch it. Great movie. I remember the Kubrick line. Roy was a great actor. Love him in Sorcerer. Don’t look now is brilliant! It gave me so many chills! I’m enjoying the vid 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
Sisters? Ab-so-friggin-lutely! Id take this over Rear Window sny day. With one of Bernard Hermann's most chilling scores. I got the Criterion on Day One. If it's still there next time, grab it.
Well I’m convinced! I’m going back!
I got Sisters in like the first Criterion sale I ever went to.
I love your wife's tastes in movies. Great picks guys.
Hey, new subscriber here! I used to collect dvds back when they were the new thing in the late 90’s and I fell off a long time ago. I just recently started collecting again with a focus on 4k blu rays and it feels like old times. Been loving looking at what others are picking up too. So far for criterion, I picked up Mulholland Drive, Wall-E, and The Others. Otherwise I picked up a couple films from A24. I also love that these things are region free. I have already imported a couple movies from Second Sight and Leonine (It Follows and Beau is Afraid). This hobby is so addictive and fun!
Congratulations on coming back to the dark side 😈. Don't ever leave us again!
8:10 that’s me and I was coming in to shop for criterion’s when you were getting ready to checking out
Oh wow! We just missed you
All that Jazz is directed by Bob Fosse one of the greatest broadway choreographer/directors who ever lived he invented "the frug" a specific dance he directed Sweet Charity, Cabaret and Chicago, he had a sad death he had a heart attack outside the Willard hotel. To Die for is a black comedy, its not got anything too shocking in it but its really good fun, Nicole Kidman is superb in it,.
Thanks for the insight. We watched Cabaret and All That Jazz last month and loved both of them. And I picked up the Indicator release of Sweet Charity. Hopefully we can watch that one soon
Since you said anatomy of a fall it was one of your favorite films it was for sure mine. Next haul You need to get that with the superchat I sent you. Love seeing you guys doing these videos 👍🏻👍🏻
Grace! To Die For is an awesome movie, and very entertaining. All the macabre elements are handled with a darkly comedic tone.
And probably Nicole's best acting work to boot.
So jealous of that B&N selection, my local one has like maybe 1/4 that lol
Can't wait to see what else you two have in store this month. Very groovy pick-ups.
You have such an old soul meets youth at heart clash that’s always fun and fascinating haha. Love your vids and obviously these criterion hauls are always the best. Excited to see more of you guys’ picks this month!
Literally bought All That Jazz today! 10/10!
Don’t Look Now is great ❤
De Palma's Sisters is a lot of fun. I think he's made better films, but if you enjoy the look of independent American cinema of the early 70s and that kind of journalist-as-heroes stories that you also get from All The President's Men, then yes, definitely one to check out.
Fantastic haul look forward to the next trip to B&N
Cute Couple ! .. I wish my GF had the same fondness of Film I have .. !
I was going to buy my fair share, but it’s only at Barnes and Noble. Apart from a lack of patience, I can’t see a reason for not waiting until November for Criterion to have the sale on their site when I can get 10% back in rewards.
To Die For is on my list. Haven’t seen it in a while, but it’s good and curious to see if you like it.
Blood Simple isn’t my favorite Coen’s film, but it’s good and I picked it up in the November sale.
Happy viewing!
Great start for the July haul. Five great films. Seen them all except for the Tarr (waiting for mine to be delivered). Loved THE DEVIL & DANIEL WEBSTER (using the original Criterion title); Liked TO DIE FOR very much, this put Joaquin Phoenix on the map. Liked ROARING TWENTIES AND BLOOD SIMPLE a lot. I think Grace would enjoy both PEEPING TOM and SISTERS very much. I, too, was unaware of Criterion selling individual releases for BLUE, WHITE and RED. I'm picking up 20 new releases, the one I'm looking forward to that I haven't seen already is FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE. Enjoy hunting in the rest of the July hauls.
Thanks Henry! Always great to hear from you. Hope your new titles arrive soon
@@FilmsByColor JD, are you doing NIGHT OF THE HUNTER on Criterion Corner? There is a FB post on TCM page about it? Nevermind it is another Criterion Corner, I got my hopes up being so excited! Sorry
Angels With Dirty Faces is my favorite Cagney movie also costarring Humphrey Bogart
yeeesss, To Die For is incredible! I'm getting that for sure this sale! May be an all-time fav on a rewatch. It's in my 'almost favorites' list currently but it's been a while since I've seen it, so that's why I feel like I can't have it committed in my favorites list. Dogfight is another on my to-get list! It's my favorite River Phoenix film
Yeah I know what you mean. Feels like there's a new boutique label sale every couple of weeks!
I bought The Roaring Twenties about 6 months ago when it first came out. Any gangster film with Cagney and/or Bogart is a definite watch. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And if you like films of that nature, several others I recommend. The Asphalt Jungle, The Killing, The Naked City, Pickup On South Street, and High Sierra. Definite can't miss films.
Thanks so much for the recommendations!
Can't believe you haven't seen James Cagney few suggestions public enemy, white heat, angels with dirty faces, and Yankees doodle dandy
Thanks for the recommendations. I have a Warner Archive Collection bluray of Angels with Dirty Faces which also stars Bogart. Sounds like that and Roaring Twenties might make a great double feature.
White Heat, fantastic movie.
Great pickups! I got After Hours, Come and See, Paris Texas, and In The Mood For Love. I need to see that Bela Tarr one!
I bought 30 criterions the first day lol I have a problem. To Die For has a 4k btw. The Roading Twenties was a fun one, surprisinhly educational too. Great picks y'all!
Werckmeister Harmonies WILL replace Unbreakable as your favourite film from 2000, that is a certainty
Haha, I'm counting on it
Hi, DJ and Grace! I visited my local B&N Friday morning and left with the following titles: After Hours, Anatomy of a Fall, Mr. Klein, Peeping Tom and The Servant. The only two I hadn't yet seen were Mr. Klein and The Servant, but I did watch The Servant yesterday and enjoyed it. I also hope to pick up Mona Lisa and Floating Weeds in a few days. Re: your purchases, I think you'll love All That Money Can Buy. Edward Arnold is great as Daniel Webster. And by the way, William Dieterle is pronounced "Dee-ter-lee." Somebody else in the comments mentioned a few other James Cagney films you should check out, and I agree with all of his suggestions. My favorite Cagney film is a nostalgic little romantic 1941 comedy called "The Strawberry Blonde," which takes place at the turn of the 20th century. It's available on Warner Archive. Happy shopping!
Congrats on the new acquisitions, Kevin. And thanks for the pronunciation tip. Always appreciated!
I highly recommend Exotica and Secret Sunshine as Criterion picks for you! Exotica sounds right up your alley, such an incredible film and kinda fits right along side your fable theme.
Secret Sunshine was the first South Korean film in the Criterion collection and it comes from master filmmaker Lee Chang-Dong. While I think Burning is his absolute masterpiece (and my personal favorite film from the 21st century), Secret Sunshine has a lot of his trademark characteristics. It is a devastating film and if you are looking for an extraordinary lead actress performance it would be my pick in the CC.
I love his film Poetry.
Thanks so much for the recommendations. I'm not familiar with either of those. I'll have to look into them
Grace, add my voice to the outcry of “Sisters- YES.” It’s one of my favorite DePalma titles and has a dynamite ending. Also, I’ll be stunned if you don’t like “To Die For.” A great black comedy with one of the last produced screenplays of Buck (The Graduate) Henry. Very dark, very funny.
DJ, “All That Money Can Buy” is a terrific little American Folk Fable. Walter Huston is on fire and features a murder’s row of great character actors.
Finally I love “Blood Simple,” a nasty, mean little noir. Listen for a great audio cameo from Holly Hunter.
After all these people backing it, I’m going to be so sad if I go back and Sisters is gone
I'm so excited for All that Money Can Buy. Are you aware of any other similar American Folk Fable films? I love that kind of stuff
@@FilmsByColor great question- try the Bill Paxton film “Frailty” which also has Matthew McConaughey and Powers Boothe. Also “Dead Birds” with Henry Thomas and Michael Shannon. You could give “Mud” a try which, like “Frailty,” is more modern.
The others I would recommend you might already know:
The Night of the Hunter
The Beguiled (the original 1971 version)
Angel Heart
Big Fish
I could also recommend “The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao” which is problematic unless you’re willing to accept that Tony Randall’s title character is putting on yellow face and a cartoonish “Asian accent” for a reason.
Robert Egger’s “The Witch”
Shyamalan’s “The Village” is, in the end, a satire of the kind of colonial fable that “The Witch” is.
Those are just off the top of my head. I’m sure there are more.
Hope that helps? 🤷♂️
The Roaring Twenties nice
Good picks 👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t own those movies, I’ll have to buy those.
I can’t wait for your others vids to come.
I might have misread it but I think she got “To Die For” on Blu-ray and it’s also on 4K.
My Barnes and noble closed down, I have to order mine online.
Ah sorry your B&N closed. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to order some this month too
Sisters is such a great movie!
I just bought my first two of the sale so far.
all that money can buy '' great movie .
Sisters is very creepy. It actually made me depressed and anxious.
Oh, man. Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like one you gotta be in the right mood for.
To Die For is great. It's more inspired by a true story than actually based on a true story. Well worth watching...
Friends from out of town... Is that a hint we might see Conner soon?
Yep! That's exactly what it means. Conner's coming in a couple weeks!
Not sure if you care but there’s a 4k for too die for
Damn my guy is slamming a 9/10.
All that money can buy (aka The Devil and Daniel Webster) is one of the creepiest folk horror movies I ever saw. I was very young when I first saw it, 35-40 years ago and it maintains a strange power over me. Simone Simon who was in Cat People brings an otherworldliness to proceedings that works well with some of the dream like scenes. Might make a good double with Dante’s Inferno from Terror Vision
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. You're getting me even more excited to watch that one soon
You should get Only the Animals. It’s a Cohen release not Criterion but Grace would enjoy it if she’s into crime films. I just rewatched it and loved it both times.
Im still trying to get a list together for my first haul I wanna try and get at least 2 trips in this month
I’m in the UK so I always watch the barnes and noble shopping videos like Charlie looking into the sweet shop at the start of Willy wonka, though I did just do a sale order of Eric rohmers 6 moral tales, 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days, blue is the warmest colour (because it was like £9 for a criterion, you can’t say no to that), millers crossing, the graduate, the complete jaques tati and fantastic planet and I’m thinking about a second order of watership down, house, fish tank (was shot very close to where I live), the human condition trilogy and Eric rohmers tales of the 4 seasons
Haha! Solid Willy Wonka reference. That's a perfect visual. I adore a lot of the stuff you're picking up. I haven't heard of Fish Tank though. What's that one about?
@@FilmsByColor I’m not 100% sure, I believe it’s about a girls relationship with her mums new boyfriend
To die for is good that's one i picked up. Nothing scary. Nicole kidman is very beautiful and Joaquin phoenix is very young. Love the video
I went with...
Blue Velvet 4K
Peeping Tom 4K
The Roaring Twenties 4K
Double Indemnity 4K
Le Samouraï 4K
Picnic at Hanging Rock 4K
Yes get Sisters you will love it. Good pick ups guys. I can't believe you passed over the Chantal Akerman boxset though!
I think if I do end up getting up a box set this month, I've got my eyes on Pasoliini. Did you get the Akerman set?
@@FilmsByColor glad you guys picked up sisters on the other haul vid. As for Akerman yes I have it - tbh I'm not sure if it would be your thing since its like art-house final boss lol but its important cinema none the less.
They dropped to die for in 4k! This year
You guys should watch Hundreds of Beavers
Night On Earth is really good, writing and acting both.
To Die For also good and a true story
To Die For is great! Just watched it yesterday. If you're into Bogart you should check out In A Lonely Place which is also in the collection. Great videos, keep up the good work!
Wermeister Harmonies is fantastic!
Sisters was really good. I first watched it on streaming and bought the criterion the first chance I could get
Daytrippers for the win!
One of my all time favorites!
Sisters is pretty amazing, early De Palma. You should see it!
To Die For also has a 4K 😬
Do a video on top 20 criterion titles to get this year! There are soooo many titles it is overwhelming every year
I'll definitely be doing some Criterion recommendation videos this month. Stay tuned!
Im on holiday in USA and was just looking at arrow video blurays in B&N… $34.99 for a Blu-ray 😮 and I thought HMV was expensive 😅. Regular Arrow titles too, nothing special stuff you can get for £9.99 - £14.99 going for what is around £27.
Barnes & Noble NEEDS to stop with there price labels that are like glue. I would buy so much more products from them if they didn’t use those price tags smh
They come off with the plastic wrap
@@moviefreakdwp i don’t open all my criterion. Just no need for those labels. They are obnoxious
Dang didn't know La Bamba had a criterion release. Defiantly gonna have to check my store for that one
Good luck. Hope you're able to find a copy. I haven't seen it yet. I'm interested though
Blood Simple is a suspense masterpiece. Definitely going to pick it up soon myself. Don’t have any in-store sales here in Canada but got a few recently online. Namely Trainspotting, Secret Sunshine and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down which I haven’t seen yet but I want to start collecting Almodovar films
I hope you enjoy Tie Me Up Tie Me Down. We loved it. All three of Almodovar's films in the collection are wonderful
Blood Simple is my favorite Coen film. Enjoy!
Thanks! I think my favorite is Fargo. We'll see if Blood Simple can dethrone it
Hot Spot and Blood Simple good movies. Your'e gonna enjoy watching it
is this the barnes and noble in dallas georgia? looks scary familiar when you guys left. lol
Yeah I didn't know they started a July sale on June 28th. I thought that was kind of strange but at least it's for a month. I've already got a bunch in my cart
What a lovely young couple!
you haveing seen james cagney;; your in for a ride ' that you can't stop .
"It's got a young River Phoenix"
Not to be morbid but is there any other kind?
Just a heads up that to die for has a 4k in case you want to exchange it!
Never seen cagney? Wow. Watch white heat asap
You didn't get Days of Heaven? Thats the first one I would have grabbed!
Hedwig appears @7:48
I strongly recommend Chan is Missing.
Thanks. This was the first time I noticed that one. What's is like? Is it crime film? A mystery? A documentary?
@@FilmsByColor It is a mystery, strongly influenced by old film noirs like The Maltese Falcon.
Did Grace know that To Die For also has a 4K?
The only Bela Tarr movie I have seen is the Tourin Horse (that I really hopes ends up in the collection sooner or later) that I catched in a theater way back! Have had my eyes on the Werckmeister Harmonies since its announcement but are working up courage and strenght to even begin with Satantango omg. But one day so. Great picks otherwise!
The only Bela Tarr film I've seen is Satantango. Really looking forward to Werkmeister Harmonies. What was Tourin Horse like?
@@FilmsByColor Slow, hauntingly beautiful b/w photo and almost painful to watch! In a good way!
I want a marriage like this
I’ve seen Sisters, and it’s probably Brian De Palma’s most disturbing film he’s ever made, even if it tends to fizzle out a bit by the film’s end. The word “insane” doesn’t even begin to describe what I watched. I enjoyed it as a whole, but I don’t see too much replay value from it in the future. I’d recommend streaming it first if you can.
Oh wow, thanks for the heads up on that one
@@FilmsByColor No problem. I still enjoyed Margot Kidder's performance nevertheless. :)
Watch Dogfight!!!!!!-amazing! 2 brilliant actors!
Just picked up Peeping Tom on 4K, Malcolm X on 4K, Videodrome on 4K, Cure, Island of Lost Souls and La Llorona today. I still want to get Cat People and MAYBE the 4K Don’t Look Now before the sale ends.
I've been curious about La Llorona since it came out. Do you highly recommend that one?
there are great movies, then there's Altman's 3 WOMEN - a masterpiece and I'd call it a perfect film. I AM CUBA is a must! if you haven't seen James Cagney in Billy Wilder's ONE TWO THREE, it almost killed him, paced to the Hungarian Sabre Dance!
Oh wow, I love Billy Wilder. I'm gonna have to look into that one. You may have convinced my to finally pick up 3 Women this month. Thanks for the recommendations!
To die for is great but I got the 4k
I didn’t realize there was one, I’m gonna have to trade my blu ray in!
I was just there yesterday afternoon. Now I know why I couldn’t find Anatomy of a Fall. 😢
But we didn’t buy Anatomy of a Fall
@@FilmsByColor I realized that after I typed the comment. Lol. I was halfway through your vlog.
I never saw your videos. The are great. I love there are still people that love music and movies. I love them too. But feels lik i,m the only one😢. I wish I could find a friend are boyfriend that loves them too.
Pick up sisters it's good
Is there a reason why you didn’t get To Die For in 4K?
Does anyone buy Criterion movies at full price?
Why didn’t you get to die for in 4k!?!?
I didn’t know!! I’ll be trading it in!
@@gracemartinez18 oh excellent. You’re gonna love the movie it’s SO good!
you two are so attractive/hot it's stunning
Criterion. The company that charges $60 for a dvd and then uses the cheapest plastic that turns foggy after 3 years, lol. Great score.
Are you really so wide eyed and Mormon youth pastor sounding off camera? It’s kinda eerie 😂
haha, no. Theres definitely a camera voice that comes out subconsciously when I'm making videos.
I'm not spending $400 on a 4K blu-rays collectors is weirdos
Let's see your disposable income spendings, big guy
@@shitpostheavy that's because you got more money than I got don't mean you got to make fun of me
@@shitpostheavy don't have money like you you don't have to make fun of me I didn't make fun of you I just said I wouldn't spend $400 on that
You 4K DVD collectors is weird I can't buy this because I got a wrinkle in or hanging out the plastic weirdos
Stop judging and get a life.
Forgive my ignorance as this video showed up in my recommended but why are Criterion movies so expensive and sought after?
