@@squirtreynoldscinema Agreed. Le Cercle Rouge have a brilliantly constructed heist scene too, check it out if you haven't seen it.

There isn't many heist movies I haven't dug out. Haha

[@squirtreynoldscinema]

Cercle Rouge's heist scene is wonderful, but I think I prefer Un Flic's train/helicopter heist if we're talking Melville. Le Cercle Rouge is definitely the better film though. Haven't seen Set It Off or The Friends of Eddie Coyle. I'll be sure to peep them soon. I'm big on heist and neo/neo-noir myself. Have you checked out the Nikkatsu Noir collection on Criterion Channel? It's quite brilliant actually. A lot of homage to American heist, neo-noir, crime and even spaghetti westerns. Cruel Gun Story by Furukawa is a remake of Kubrick's The Killing with some big differences. Pretty cool film!

In my 40's now, and you realize that film collection, in physical form, is becoming a dying practice...it's all digital video now online, which is fine and all, but taking the time to peruse and pick films to put in your collection is a very personal and satisfying experience. All the old and current filmmakers in this series clearly are collectors, they love watching and studying film, and talk about film so much they actually do it for a living.

[@dynjarren7523]

The Criterion Collection is Amazing! I would just take everything! I once went to an Estate sale at this big house that had a basement with columns like this full of Videos. The previous owner was a collector of Films. God Bless him and had practically every popular and unpopular critical film every made in the basement climate controlled library. It was literally a Film Library made by someone who had the funds to do it right! I was like a kid in a candy store much like Terry Gilliam here! Only my head was spinning from looking thru so many titles. I spent hours looking for videos that I wanted. Some to keep for my own collection and some to sell on EBay later. This was before DVDs really got rolling and replaced Video. I remember thinking I wish I was rich so I could cut them a check and buy ALL the Videos for myself and transfer them to my Attic! I was in mental anguish that I had to choose from so many good movies and some not as great but still critical or interesting titles that I wanted to see at least once. I ended up buying around 50 Videos which is still a lot but he had hundreds of Videos all neatly stacked on the wooden shelves. It was like a Dream for a Video or Film buff like me! Dozens of people were down there picking apart the collection. I remember they wanted $3 to 5 for a video which added up quickly. That was an amazing day and I was exhausted afterwards after spending about 5 hours there looking thru everything but happy that I bought some Classics. One of which was Fellinis Satyricon which I still have and Myra Breckinridge with Raquel Welch which I sold for $100 on EBay. So that one paid off since I only paid $5 for it. It was a terrible movie but was out of print and had some kinky sex scenes in it so it was in demand. Now almost everything was released on DVD so the Out of Print status that drove up the prices is over. Later on I sold the last 75 videos I had together in a Lot Sale on EBay and barely got $70 bucks back. This was after DVDs had destroyed the video market. I’m enjoying watching this program because you are bringing back memories for me! And the views and opinions of filmmakers are interesting to hear! Thanks! 😎

Many years ago I took my vacation from work to attend a week-long 25th anniversary Python festival in LA. There were some daytime events (film screenings, panels) and nighttime events (bigger film screenings and panels). I have several fond memories, including having some of Graham's ashes fall on me, stories from Eric and Neil Innes (not surprisingly, Eric was one of the wittiest people I've ever seen), and Terry G's very honest stories about his own films and also Python stuff - not afraid to name names, either! As he walked out of the theater with the crowd, talking to audience members all the way, I thought to myself: 'If I ever have the opportunity to attend a dinner party where he's a guest, I want to sit next to him to hear him dish on everyone!' Sadly, that's never happened, of course.

From Kirk Douglas' autobiography "The Ragman's Son": I met the director, Stanley Kubrick. He said he had a script called PATHS OF GLORY. I read the script and fell in love with it. "Stanley, I don't think this picture will ever make a nickel, but we HAVE to make it." I got financing. It wasn't easy. When I arrived in Munich, I was greeted with a completely rewritten script. . "Stanley, did you write this?" "Yes." "Stanley, why would you do that?" He very calmly said, "To make it commercial. I want to make money." I hit the ceiling. "You come to me with a script. I love THAT script. I got the money, based on THAT script. Not this shit!" I threw the script across the room. "We're going back to the original script, or we're not making the picture."
