An overdue Boutique Blu-ray collection update!

[@ElliotCoen]

To whoever reads this, thank you for watching my video! I really appreciate it

[@extofer]

Since starting my collection in June, I’ve been watching you and I just want to say, I really enjoy your videos. :)

[@roachman1412]

I enjoy your channel I've gotten several blind buys base on your recommendations Inside to mention one also when you give us a heads up on criterion blu-rays during the sale and letting us know it's available on 4k from other labels 👍

[@SAMTYLER1974]

And so you should, good sir! Seriously though, always a pleasure to watch and listen to a true film lover and not just a collector! Hope all is well with you

[@we8463]

Love your video your voice is very soothing!

[@ElliotCoen]

@@we8463 thank you :)

[@philipmarinello8802]

So glad that Indicator gave Bruiser some love and helped enlarge the cannon of Romero films beyond the Dead series (even if not everyone loves it)

[@KBLovesMovies]

I love the reference to The Collector! I was just mentioning that movie to our mutual friend, Nathan Jones, while we were getting lunch and he mentioned the Indicator release. Also, thank you for the recommendation of Planet of the Vampires! Always great to see new content from you.

[@ElliotCoen]

Thanks so much KB! Hope you’re well

[@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk]

Glad you're feeling better, hopefully your puppy is good too 😊

[@ElliotCoen]

Thanks Marty, hope you're well!

[@hildamontes6146]

Also a good double feature to watch with "The Collector" would be "The Dead Mother" don't you think.

[@streaky6724]

Hey Elliot! Glad you're feeling better :) I'm somewhat new to this channel and love the way you talk about movies do you have any videos going into extensive dives of your favourite movies of all time. You mentioned that some of your favourite movies are long so it piqued my interest

[@tysonn4736]

I love your new Shining computer mat.

[@ElliotCoen]

I've been loving it too :)

[@TheEverythingBagel]

I noticed that too! So awesome- just caught that film in theaters recently and it was spectacular

[@2009MovieWatcher]

Hey, another great video, have you done any collection overview videos?

[@slave_to_cinema]

Horray woohoo yes!!! Godspeed and good health my friend. I just picked up 88 Films' Hannie Calder

[@ElliotCoen]

@@slave_to_cinema I want to get Hannie Calder and some other 88 films bits soon. Cheers!

[@edrooney1967]

Nice update, great movies. About The Burglars: Indeed, The film was filmed in two language versions: a French version for the European market and an English version for the US. The actors more or less gave it their best shot. Dyan Cannon only spoke English during filming and was dubbed for the other version; Belmondo at least tried his hand at English, Sharif is convincing. Linguistically, I liked the French version better, the English version doesn't reach the same level of artistic sophistication. It is important to note here: The running times are also different. The French version runs 126 minutes, the English version only 114. The cuts consist of mostly tightening or re-cutting of existing scenes (such as the brilliant car chase through Athens).

[@u77750]

Thank you Elliot. I think I want to give Bruiser a watch. Appreciate the work. Feel better.

[@ElliotCoen]

@@u77750 thank you, my friend!

[@madhousestudios5214]

Elliot, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new Deaf Crocodile releases Savage Hunt of King Stakh and Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet. Beautiful niche releases.

[@ElliotCoen]

They are beautiful and I will be featuring them in a video soon!

[@SAMTYLER1974]

Been way too hectic of late to truly spoil myself with new releases but hopefully things are settling down and I’ve some preorders forthcoming. Most excited about Volume 2 of the All The Haunts Be Ours from Severin which I instantly bought without looking at the damage it did my wallet! Then I’ve preordered Timecrimes from Umbrella who really seem to be killing it right now with a glut of new and forthcoming releases I hope I can nab myself. Then over to Indicator where I simply couldn’t resist the Wilder/Pryor boxset, the next 2 BFI Flipside releases (more obscure folk horror and Vincent Price cooking!) which will bring my much coveted complete set to 50 and thus onto Arrow who had already karate chopped my wallet with Shawscope 3 but are tempting me with the J-Horror and Álex de la Iglesia sets plus the ever reliable Radiance with, well, kinda everything! Which ones I’ll afford and which I’ll skip is uncertain but I’m sure some are on your radar and I’ll look forward to hearing your views on them as and when. Until then, good sir!

[@ChrisGau]

Welcome back!!!!

[@Nicsopana]

Besides the Polish release there were already a German and a Spanish release of Pharaoh before the Second Run release ;- . I totally forgot that I wanted to get the German disc. There are too many films to watch 🙂.

[@tyo101]

Thanks, Elliot!

[@ElliotCoen]

@@tyo101 the pleasure is all mine!

[@bertcielen8709]

Eureka have said that those Hong Kong/ martial arts movies have kept their doors open; without them they'd have possibly gone under.

[@nostalgia3403]

I wish bouquet label does same with Indian cinema movies

[@bertcielen8709]

@@nostalgia3403 Blame the Indian film industry. They're notoriously closed, and even simply showing a movie in the UK is a logistical nightmare which even involves protection services to guard the DCPs etc. Movie critics have repeatedly complained about how it is seemingly impossible to get a press screening a week or so in advance, whereas most major Hollywood blockbusters don't have such issues.

[@GM-nz1te]

Where did you read or hear this? I'd interested in reading or listening to it. I have always found their lack of communication re their martial arts releases and the fact they pretend to do BAU as if they had always released martial arts stuff frustrating.

[@juancmorenor]

Martin was for me a very good Romero’s film, therefore , I ordered also Bruiser, which together with Martin was once of the preferred ones of GR! Elliot, have you ever seen “The Crazies “ ? It is good?

[@richard8331]

How many art cards do you estimate you have now Elliot?

[@ElliotCoen]

@@richard8331 enough to open my own art gallery!

[@doctormorbuis]

I don't understand film fans who don't like silent movies, particularly comedies.

[@TheEverythingBagel]

Hello dear creator! What are your thoughts on A24’s blu-ray releases in general? They seem a bit pricier than criterion when they’re on sale; however, Aftersun and TV Glow are two of my favorites of all time, and I’ve been considering picking those up. Are A24’s releases up to the quality standards of criterion and other boutique labels? Thanks for helping out a new collector! :)

[@brunomachado7279]

New films and new haircut!

[@davids8449]

More to the point.......when will the BBC release on dvd 1961/64 Eric Sykes series b/w now that would be something to collect

[@Rychu89]

La Chimera and Riddle of Fire are two that I loved recently. I do agree that RoF felt perhaps 10 mins too long, however the originality and charm of it made up for that, for me. I have to say though, I found myself a bit disappointed by I Saw The TV Glow. Granted, I'm not the target market per se, and I liked a lot of the design choices, however it didn't all stick the landing for me. I was left a bit mixed.

[@KirkRedgate]

George A. Romero is my favourite filmmaker of all time, so of course I got Bruiser.

[@MikeBarratt-lk3gt]

Of course

[@jonashallberg2832]

Hi Elliot! Do you have any knowledge about who saw her die Arrow edition against the shameless edition? Best regards Jonas

[@AndyKing1963]

Just got the Laurel and Hardy set - haven’t watched it yet

[@AndyKing1963]

Glad you liked La Chimera it did nothing for me, or to put it another way - it was just about to get interesting and then it just ended. Worth a watch though

[@GM-nz1te]

Nice video. I am more particularly intrigued by the Lazenby movie. I had never heard of it. I immediately thought of Don't Look Now. It is interesting that Who Saw Her Die? was released before Roeg's film. Re Eureka, I am one of those 'martial arts haters'. I personally feel that Eureka deserve the reactions they are getting whenever new martial arts titles are announced. When you have been used to Fritz Lang, Sergio Leone or FW Murnau releases and all of a sudden 95% of the new releases are martial arts and Eureka pretend nothing has changed (and ignore people's reactions), it is a bit hard to take. I appreciate that they may have had some financial difficulties and those martial arts films have saved them, but at the very last they could have said something officially. They have probably gained a lot of fans who are into that kind of cinema, but I am sure they have lost a lot of their long-time supporters, including myself. I have moved on, and very rarely buy anything from Eureka these days. Radiance's releases are way more exciting.

[@nostalgia3403]

Hi Elliot I never heard of spectrum films they got sholay (1975) rights and not criterion which is shocking since 2009. criterion we're trying get licence rights release on blu ray

Don’t show the movies in the thumbnail. I zoomed in, saw what you had, wasn’t interested in any and moved to the next video. I wouldn’t have clicked on your video but just did to leave this comment.

@@loua5708 ‘person doesn’t watch video that they’re not interested in’ - I don’t think that’s as groundbreaking as you think it is
