Great choices. I wonder if there will be a release of SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE to tie in with the upcoming NOSFERATU. i don't know if you have mentioned them before but two of my most wanted are Demme's CITIZEN BAND (aka HANDLE WITH CARE) and AMERICAN HOT WAX. I would also like to resee THE DION BROTHERS (aka THE GRAVY TRAIN) which I remember liking, but not a great film.

Shadow of The Vampire I have on dvd. Great movie!

Sad end of life for Jan-Michael Vincent. I have original 1 sheet for Baby Blue Marine.

I have the original universal bluray but you convinced me to get this, based on the 4K upgrade/rescan and the amount of extras for this great movie. Thanks!

Less Than Zero is a glaring omission. One I'd like to so come is Diamond Men (2000) with Robert Forest and Donnie Walhberg. Also The Gazebo (1959) would be fun.

Stumbled across this channel and recognized the voice from Pure Cinema, love it. Wanting to have a double feature movie night with Shadow of the Vampire, do you have a recommendation for the double, that matches the aesthetic?

Soooooo many over here in UK which I have to import from, the US or find a sellers on ebay that selling the US version, I dont tend to bother with the European Blu Rays though, some films have DVDs but not Blu Rays here such as Strangers Pray At Night, Windmill Massacre, Shredder, Amityville II, Amsterdamned, Harpoon: The Whale Watching Massacre....and more, pisses me off, I dont want DVDs I want Blu Rays

Instead of bluray it's better on Ultra HD

Sheena and Maniac Cop is still NOT on bluray!

Love these type of videos. Thanks for highlighting these titles. Most of them I wasn't familiar with. Added a few to my watchlist/try to find list. Would definitely be interested in more of these and the VHS one you mention. Great stuff as always.

VHS and laserdisc will look even better on a CRT tv. Its what they were designed for. Hooking up a vcr to a standard 1080p set still results in quality loss due to format conversion (analogue to digital). Believe it or not there actually were 1080i, widescreen, crt tvs in the early to mid 2000s. They were awesome but weighed a ton and cost just as much.

Good stuff. One we'll probably never see on blu-ray is Bill and Coo (1948). An oddball film for sure. The Film Detective released a restored version on DVD in 2015 which they also posted on KZbin. Not perfect but better than my VHS.

Really need the Pirate Movie!

I highly doubt it will ever come out on bluray, but TAG: The Assassination Game with Linda Hamilthon woulc be a fun release.

A Civil Action needs a BluRay release.

I like the dvd stand to camera. cool.

Love you work dude. Big fan of your podcast and this channle

I use a RCA to HDMI converter that allows me to watch it on my TV. Been uaing it for years.

Btw... Less than zero and Who"s the man has great soundtracks.

Great video. I love this series because you talk about movies that are great but not mainstream. A VHS series is more than welcoming because there are a ton of movies that did not make it too disc. Looking for Mr. Goodbar is one of them.

Love these videos Brian, keep’em coming, VHS or otherwise! BTW, Made was release on Blu-ray by Lionsgate in a double feature with Swingers. It’s OOP though and pretty pricey. It does need a solo release though.

I sent a crossed fingers emoji reply Brian and got censored 😃! It's why I rarely comment!

A VHS only video would be great! I wonder if I have any tapes that haven't made it to disc...

Even at 12 years of age in a tiny role, Jodie Foster showed her brilliance in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". Harvey Keitel in one scene has to completely lose it and being a method actor scared the hell out of Ellen Burstyn! Suffice to say I would love a boutique blu-ray of this under appreciated gem. In the meantime I have a very old DVD copy 😢!

You get these free or purchase?

Sir do you any titles from Mondo Mocabro

Paul Dehn also scripted Goldfinger and worked on all the Planet of the Apes sequels.

Lots of goodies. My kino lorber collection is growing all the time. Always good prints but often not enough extras on the blue rays.even so I would recommend kino to anyone who love movies.

I have seen Burn Witch Burn but it's been a very long time. I remember liking it. Thank you Brian. I hope you have an excellent week.

Just heard episode #379 on Audicy and would like to inform you that not only does Roger Corman's 1962 film Intruder starring William Shatner have a bluray release but I own it and it looks great. It's a French release from Carlotta Films. Check it out.

One of the all time great documentaries ... I have the first 2 versions on blu ray and just received this newest version with great booklet, cool slipcover and fantastic bonus movie ... buy it friends.

Thank you for recommending SHACK OUT ON 101!. Never heard of it before, but I'm a big fan of Lee Marvin and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD (my favorite horror western!), so I'll definitely pick up this set. By the way, speaking of Michell Leisen and film noir, if you revisit HOLD BACK THE DAWN (1941, the year of THE MALTESE FALCON) with that particular genre/movement in mind, you will be surprised how noirish that romantic drama actually is! Its narrative structure (a desperate protagonist looking back what happened to him), subject (a smooth-talking gigolo hustling an innocent woman to cross the border), cinematography (lots of deep shadows unusual for what should be an uplifting romance) all scream noir.

Awesome mate Love me some Imprint.👍 I just bought Synanon and Jessica as a bundle of Ebay for a steal. I can't wait to watch them.

Repo Man was a great movie and still is. Many thanks Brian. I was lucky enough to see it in the theater when it came out. So many priceless moments in the film. Very good movie.

Thank you Brian. I hope you have an excellent week.

Dave !

Also my cuppa tea. I can’t get these as I’m in the U.K. without a region-free player. With Powerhouse/Indicator recently signing a deal with Sony for more Columbia titles, I’m hoping we’ll see more wonderful Columbia Noir Box sets. Also, I’m sure many of these Kino titles could easily arrive on more Universal Noir as there’s only been two so far. Fingers crossed.

How do play imprint dvds in USA?

Just my cup of tea . Many I've seen but could watch them forever ,again and again and have done. Film noir sets are always a must. Thanks a lot.

Did you just spoil the first Friday The 13th ?

Jim Kelly's on-screen charisma was off the charts. When he passed in 2013, I was stunned because I couldn't believe that he was still alive and that directors, post-QT, weren't utilizing him for SOMETHING.

Thank you Brian. I watched this on Netflix recently within the last two months. It was good.

Lol @ he directed Superman 4 sadly...

Thank you for highlighting Black Belt Jones and Blvd Nights. Great films.

Viva Las Vegas was Elvis's last good movie, but its cult today consists almost entirely of Elvis devotees themselves, with a smattering of Ann-Margaret fans. Flaming Star, on the other hand, has a cult following but not necessarily among Elvis fans; many of them resent he isn't given a chance to sing beyond the title track and that his other song was cut from the film. Jailhouse Rock and King Creole are the only movies that unite both Elvis fans and movie fans who aren't necessarily fans of the singer.

Intrigued by Synanon! Richard Quine doesn't get enough recognition. I love "Bell, Book and Candle" and I don't ever hear anyone mention "Pushover" a great discovery with the gorgeous Kim Novak. Vertigo is up there as in my top 5 movies! Also have very fond memories of "How to Murder your Wife" with the genius of Jack Lemmon also by Richard Quine! Thankyou for the recommendations!

Kenneth Cope just passed away sorry to say. It was a good series I watched when it first came out . Wonderful stuff from imprint. Woman of strew is quite good I should watch it again. Another Sunday morning spent with you many thanks.

I recommend The League of Gentlemen from Basil Dearden.

Excellent chat Brian, glad to see someone still going with a shop.

Well actually 🤓 Netflix has a huge selection of older movies, BUT they are available only for handful of countries (I'm lucky enough to live in one of those). They have huge selection of Studio Canal movies that includes wide selection of old French, Spanish, Italian, German, Benelux and British films. But non of the "big" countries have them - Studio Canal has either made a exclusive deal with some another service or sublicensed their catalog to another label in those countries. Also Netflix has large selection of Scandinavian films (old & new), but I'm guessing they may have same kind of rights issues or deals limiting availability. But in this age of technology you can become a VPN tourist and check out what is available in other regions and find some gems. Altho it should not be this way.
