But did yoy ever notice Gertrud Fridh? In this film?

The scariest performance in Western media. Vince McMahon is an awesome villain! He needs his own Analyzing Evil video.

The news is bad huh? well somebody did a self own!

I've watched a few clips and I didn't get any of it.

Well! I ordered this set earlier today, and idly wondered what there was about it online. What a phenomenal overview this is; you've absolutely whetted my appetite for it 100%! Very much looking forward to it arriving now.

The transfer is OK. It looks like it probably did at the cinema. Always thought Allegro Non Troppo (the Italian Fantasia if you like) would be a wonderful addition to the MoC, especially if they do a 4K restoration and throw in some Bruno Bozzetto shorts as extras. However, despite being in my top 10 all time animated movies it hadn't been released in the UK since the days of VHS and is allegedly stuck in rights hell.

Wtf cannot watch or find the bank richard. How can i see it

I love this film but then I love all films with Louis Jourdan. I also like Joan Fontain.

that connection you made with your father over a silly movie quote is what i believe the human experience is all about rip David and great vid

Long time fan of the channel, I dip in and out of your videos, and really appreciate all you do for the love of collecting. I've recently fallen into a similar thought process, where I have an awful lot of films in my back-log and know they need watching. It's the difficulty of being both a film-lover and collector, as many of the films I buy I do plan to see, either because they have historical/artistic significance, or because I trust the Blu-ray Label that is releasing them. One of the things you mentioned in one of your other videos, was being able to think of a film, come back to the collection and then watch it when you feel like it. This, for me, is the key element of film collecting. Whilst I respect you trying to work through your collection (and the kind of content Man V Film makes), I think there's a sweet spot in not overloading yourself, you want to be able to enjoy the films you own, rather than just consume them. A few days ago, I had a yearning to watch Hara-kiri, the Kobayashi film. I went to my shelf, put it on, and thoroughly enjoyed the film, I was in the right mind-set, and mood for a Kobayashi film, and I appreciated it more, because I came to it at the perfect time. I went to my Amazon afterwards, and noticed that I'd purchased the Blu-ray in 2015, it had been sat on my shelf for 10 years... Having a large and varied collection, isn't just about collecting, it's about being able to experience the films you have when you're in the right place to watch them. It's something I'm becoming more and more familiar with as the years roll on and I have less time to watch everything. Sometimes I buy on a complete whim, but other times, using labels like MoC or Arrow Academy or BFI to help curate and develop a varied and interesting collection of films, is precisely why I enjoy collecting. No one will judge you for not watching everything, and I have come to terms with maybe not watching every single film I own. There are box sets of directors that I've been interested in, that I've seen 3 out of 6 films, or 1 out of 3. But that gave me enough flavour and enjoyment, to know that I can revisit more work when the time feels right. Keep up the good work!

It's possible that technology is nothing more than the forestalling of biological evolution in fhe face of change. And with every new technology, aftereffects arise that are more damaging than the effects that technology was designed to counter. This then generates the need for another technological solution, which in turn also generates damaging side effects. Eventually, the side effects of each step in technological evolution may increase exponentially, faster than technology can develop to counter them, finally resulting in the destruction or near destruction of our species, likely along with a significant portion of other life forms. Right now, human-created climate change looks to be an even greater example of human "stupidity" than the nuclear war was in "On the Beach." They might want to remake "On the Beach" by substituting runaway climate change for nuclear war, sending our planet on its way to becoming an uninhabitable hothouse like Venus. Perhaps instead of Australia, they could substitute Greenland, Iceland, or maybe Anartica.

You have seen her before, many years later, (time is more like a crystal than a line) but she was in a gold ball that time

I knew it would sell out quickly, but I thought I'd still have at least another month or two; it's already sold out. Nice moutache; it's been a while since I've visited your KZbin page. I think if you took your time and did your reviews on the boxset in sections, creating several videos for the entire boxset would make the most sense. Plus, it would be less exhausting a task for you by doing it gradually. Happy New Year!

If you liked The Valiant Ones, you should check out more of King Hu's films, since most of them are in the collection. He's become one of my favorite directors.

Always wanted to see this film. I may have to prioritize it!

Excellent video! Looking back all the way in 2025, some of my favourites would be: Immamura Box Set (if this counts) Paths of Glory Wake in Fright Harakiri The Passion of Joan of Arc Man with a Movie Camera La Notte A Touch of Evil Sunrise M Metropolis Punishment Park A Touch of Zen I Clowns Shoah and Four Films After Shoah Satyricon Seconds Conversation Piece Cure Zulawski box set

While I thought inciting premise made no sense, given how thermonuclear explosions and astrophysics work, it’s odd that they had whole slug line for a better set up and didn’t just make that movie. A WY research ship finds and revives the a frozen creature from the first movie while investigating the last know location of the Nostromo and terror ensues.

❤ this film is such a massive original religion x science a perfect mix of everything you need the scene with wyndon that series "hello?" Scene and the "you will not be saved by the god plutonium " the apocalypse trilogy is apex the soundtrack is in a league of its own

I have a now OOP DVD release from Eureka MoC of René Laloux (Fantastic Planet)'s animated film Les Maîtres du temps/Time Masters which would definitely benefit from an upgrade so they have released animation on rare occasions. Would love them to do more!

I own a 2020 blu ray release with a very child friendly design on the cover (and very minimal special features), so I held out on picking this Eureka release. Gutted that it's seemingly sold out, but like you say it might prompt the company to take more risks with distributing more animated films to their catalogue - which is never a bad thing.

Magnificent review of (part of) a magnificent Blu-ray release! The American release was a year earlier, but I have heard that the British release has more and better extras.

This film is a lot of fun and I love Richard Harris as well, what a legend and voice! Richard Lester by the way did the Three Musketeers films of which I love the second one. He also did one or two Beatles films I think, but I don't really care about that band.

Just pre order the brood and scanners 4k special edition collector's sets second sight March 😊

It sounds better than i thought it would. And the cast is stellar. Sold!

Love this movie, staple of BBC back in the 70's and early 80's.....and yes all for real!

This film was one of the big surprises for me in 2024. I had the same reaction to that one ultra-violent bit, had to go back and look at it again too. I thought it was a great choice to save that bit till that moment and to have it play out so quickly, really maximizes its impact. I also liked that it verges on the fantastical but doesn't ever fully step into it. The piece of music that they play throughout the film reflects this I think. It's a really beautiful melancholy piece with pretty standard instrumentation, except for this shimmering spacey synth that's overlayed on top. Gives the piece and the film just a tinge of the otherworldly.

Ooh, sounds good!👍 Looking forward to getting this and also finally getting to Chinese Ghost Story. Thanks for a really interesting upload.

Am thinking about adding more stuffs to my set and bumped on your video to get more idea. I personally more interested for props. Ordered the time turner but wished if i had a box like the horcrux locket cover to match and where i can keep the locket. Plus, even though the set has the original locket, i am looking for the RAB note to put it in the horcrux as it adds more to the feel of the prop.

Only seen the de Palma version, and had the HMV Premium Collection edition sat on the shelf for a while. How you've decribed the visuals and camerawork has prompted me to go and give it a watch.

Awesome review here, dude. I saw this movie a few years ago, and I enjoyed it passionately. Also, that shot at 8:33, one of Takakura's best shots in the entire film!

FInally got around to see this :)

Por favor podria decirme donde puedo encontrarla para verla

I love this film, Scarface is awesome! I'm glad you mentioned the opening shot which is incredible and one of my favourite long takes. I do hope you watch more films from the 1930's as there are so many amazing genre gems from the US but also great films from Europe. And as much as I love Brian De Palma, his version of Scarface is probably my least favourite film from him; so very over the top in a bad way and also a sad influence on hip hop which again is a form of music I adore and wished a bunch of artists did not take to the 1980's Scarface as a reference point.

Rewatched this just the other day. A great film. On my last watch I was quite taken with how many story beats are in the de Palma movie. His relationship with his sister (in both films) borders on incestuous. Great review

Man, The secret of Ninth is dope.

I'm sad to hear that you've lost loved ones this year. I wish you a better year for 2025 and great video.

It's very interesting to listen and understand your technical explanations. And even if I'm french and not good in english language, we can listen that your language is very rich, you love the words and speak greatly, it's appreciatef. I understand your opinion, you see some exemples. I m a very cinéphile too, 50 years ago. I saw all the Cameton's movies in théâtre when they was released. But I'm in love with the sharpness, contrast, finesse, I prefer modern way of see movies and the new youth, as a rebirth for me, of theses ré-editions. Just a point if view. I like the fact new génération can discover old movies with the way they used to. The bad extracts of pictures are rare, too speed to ne noticed. I respect your mood, but when I rediscover the new True Lies, I'm impressed and it's a hapiness for my eyes. The original master still exist. Damage that you can't appreciate your 1080p blu-ray in 4000p, but it seems to agree anyway for your vision. You re an handsome and clever man, your charism can demanding some people, and it's nice. But I hate image grain and blur, so It's good news and need to upgrade my cinemathèque. But your thoughts are passionate, and I like this spirit, even if I have an opposite opinion about the fantastic work of restauration. So, I'm happy to follow you 😊

Having watched this film yesterday, I was confused and shocked, so turned to KZbin. This was the first review that came up. I had exactly the same response to you, but 24 hours later I'm starting to think the film might be genius. I wonder if you've ever gone back to it?

I love Eureka releases, never bought one I’m disappointed with. Hopping Mad is my favourite release along with the dead and the deadly, it’s great to see a company release these classic films. My all time favourite is 228 Kwaidan special blu ray edition looks amazing. After arrow Eureka are my second favourite label because they release films other studios won’t touch.

Loved this! I do not own any Eureka, but it is my goal to change that in 2025 as they release so many great films. I thought about getting the Louis Feuillade set, but it was a bit too expensive for me.

Amazing stuff! Really love the way Louis Feuillade set looks. really need to get back into getting some MoC releases. I am excited for both Cure on 4k and Dr. Mabuse set.

Surprised you were unhappy with the Louis Feuillade transfers. The only one that looked less than stellar to me was Les Vampires, but I think that one was restored before the others (and perhaps the elements they dealt with weren't as good).

I kind of associate Eureka! with trash cinema. Or even if they do occasionally release a pretty good film, their transfers usually leave a lot to be desired. Hence why this is the boutique label I buy the absolute least from. I do have their extremely OOP release of Fellini's City of Women, which I treasure. It has poor picture quality (but of course) but also very nice packaging and the best extras available for that particular film, so what can you do, right? I think I might get The Secret of NIMH as well. I don't mind it looking bad. I grew up with it and watched it over and over on an awful VHS copy that made the entire film look as dusty as the owl's nest! Didn't bother me at all. In fact, I think I prefer it looking like that!

I saw a stack of blu rays so I clicked

Too many amazing releases to keep up with! Hopefully they rerelease that Louis Feuillade set, it got out of print so quickly

Thanks for another entertaining year, all the best for 2025, mate. Keep them coming!

To see The Secret of NIMH on Eureka Entertainment makes me smile with joy. Hopefully MGM is allowing a new restoration for 4K someday.

only just discovered this channel, but loving it and love your style. So sorry for your loss which you explain so eloquently.
