Blu-ray Pickups And A Package From The Famous Larry

[@kermitsghost]

You are very kind giving your grounds keeper an hour off Roy, I hope he spent it well. Wow Larry came through for you again Roy 😉 (Mums the word) The Man Who Never Was has peaked my interest 🧐 I think the film it is similar to is Operation Mincemeat. I was lucky enough to have the cinema to myself when watching The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, it was a fantastic experience. Ooh Devotion has also peaked my Interest. Nice one Roy, take care mate👍😃👍

@kermitsghost thanks Alan. There are so many films to discover. I don't think we'll ever be satisfied with what we have 😅 I'm sure Jesse James will resonate with me more now I'm older and questionably older. Thanks 👍 mate 👍 👌

Great video Roy! I am a big fan of Confessions and Layer Cake and Army of Darkness is a blast. For that one, check your brain at the door, have a drink and enjoy yourself.😂👍

@jimtatro6550 hello Jim. I will get a 4 pack of budweiser on your recommendation sir 😀 👌

Nice grabs as always matey.. big fan of Battle Royale that you mentioned as well as Drive.. rewatched Battle Royale on Arrow DVD a couple of months ago but one I'll definitely upgrade to blu ray at some point 😎👍

[@roybarratt5609]

Battle Royale is fabulous. If Samurai Reincarnation is anything as mad it will be a trip. 👍 Thanks for watching 👀 😊

I recently listed The Assassination of Jesse James in my favourite 100 films of all time - at No.68. It’s a long film but beautiful and superbly made.

[@roybarratt5609]

@steve4films hi Steve. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it much more than when I was younger. It's amazing how our tastes evolve.

Some great pickups there Roy! Great get on The English Patient, it took me a while to get that one at a reasonable price. No idea why it's so out of print given how famous the film is. Quite curious to see Confessions of a Dangerous Mind as well. I've been watching a few Clooney films recently, and I'd like to see more that he's directed. I also had a similar reaction to The assassination of Jesse James the first time I saw it, and it's definitely one I need to re-visit. I know it's held in high regard by a lot of people, so well worth a re-watch. Love and Friendship was directed by Whit Stilman who I'd love to see more from. Criterion released a small boxset of his, and I loved Metropolitan which is well worth checking out. Sadly I didn't get on very well with Love and Friendship, but don't be put off from his other films if you also don't enjoy it!

@goosesmovies hello Warren. There are so many titles going oop now. If there are holes in your collection that need filling I'd suggest you're better off doing it sooner than later. People moan about cex but I find them very well priced. I paid £4 for Confessions Of a Dangerous Mind. £12.99 seems to be the standard price on Ebay.

[@davidmckee2898]

I used to have confessions of a dangerous mind on DVD years ago. And I do believe it's from a true story. I will have to pick it up on Blu-ray

[@roybarratt5609]

@davidmckee2898 thanks David. I will have to give it a watch.

[@IanThomson-md5yx]

I do know that Glen Powell is in Twisters and the lead actor in [Richard Linklater’s] Hitman which is available on Netflix. Thinking about rare and out of print Blu-Rays, I once picked up The Quiet American at one of my local Cexs in Dunfermline, Roy.

[@roybarratt5609]

@IanThomson-md5yx hi Ian. It was The Guernsey Literary Potato Pie and Peel film I remember Glen from. I will never be able to remember the proper title of that film. The Quiet American was a good find. That's one I'd like to upgrade my dvd .

[@MattVs_Movies]

Nice pick-ups, Drive is a classic 👌 👍

[@roybarratt5609]

Thanks Matt. It is indeed 👍

[@samglendenning9884]

Great video Roy 😀🍿🎸🎶 Really enjoyed ‘Army Of Darkness’; I’m a big ED fan; my favourite Horror film series 🧟‍♂️ I heard great things about ‘Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind’; you always pick up awesome stuff man; keep up the excellent work Roy 😀🍿🙌🎸🎶

[@roybarratt5609]

@samglendenning9884 cheers Sam. Confessions was a great price at £4 👍 It goes for quite a bit on ebay. I do like to pick something a bit more unusual 😆

Nice pickups mate Larry strikes again 💿💿💿👈🏻👍🏻🎥

@stuartgeorge2324 good job Sam's a hospitable guy 😆

[@bushmanblu426]

Great pickups Roy, I think that guy from Devotion is the one thats in the new Twisters film, could be wrong though.

[@roybarratt5609]

@bushmanblu426 thanks Mark. Yes he is in Twisters but that's not what I knew him from. It was one of my favourites The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.

[@bushmanblu426]

@@roybarratt5609 Didn't realize he was in that one.

[@popcornandhorror]

Hey Roy, some great additions there mate, i nesd to rewatch Confessions of a dangerous mind soon, think my 1st watch many years ago didnt leave me understanding what had gone on 😅 bit older now hopefully i stand a chance 🤞🏻

[@roybarratt5609]

Cheers Ash. I will make sure I have my thinking cap on when I watch that one 😆

[@popcornandhorror]

@roybarratt5609 to be fair mate it might be a very simple film 😄 probably just me not being the sharpest tool 😄

[@roybarratt5609]

@@popcornandhorror me either sometimes 😆

[@neilsmoviechannel3199]

Hi Roy. Some good stuff there. I love The Man Who Never Was and think it is far better than the more recent Operation Mincemeat. The Assassination of Jesse James is a masterpiece, hopefully you will connect with it better on rewatch. Some of the pilots who worked on Devotion gave a great demonstration in their Corsairs at last year’s air show here. Also, Love and Friendship is witty and fun and Tom Bennett’s performance in it is hilarious

[@roybarratt5609]

Hello Neil it's usually the case that the original is far superior. I'm looking forward to it. I need more Gloria Graham. I do like a good airshow. It's been a while since we had a Red Arrow flypast. Ah I'll give Love and Friendship a go. I got it primarily to make up the numbers. Thanks for watching

[@iloveblue7920]

You should get White House Down, stars Channing Tatum, very good, bit violent, similar to Olympus has Fallen stars Gerard Butler, better story less violent, very good this and the sequel are available on steelbook if you interested.

[@roybarratt5609]

@@iloveblue7920 I have both of those and really like them. I rewatched them not too long ago
