Wow! Just wow! I picked up some nice recommendations here, thanks. Please, consider buying The Human Condition next time. I watched the Trilogy this year and it jumped right into my Top 20 All Time List. Maybe Top 5 best cinematography in a single film I have ever seen, especially Part 2 and 3. It’s worth every minute of your nine hours you have to invest. Maybe next time 🙂

[@TheMisfitPond]

[@bbattersby2345]

Just a few thoughts and opinions I had watching this (as always): Black Narcissus is so good, can't go wrong with Powell & Pressburger Glad Mike & Eric loved Happy-Go-Lucky even if it was on their own volition I own The Vanishing but haven't watched it yet, heard that Stanley Kubrick apparently said it was the scariest movie he had ever seen, which is really, really high praise I haven't seen the I Am Curious movies but it is mentioned in a chapter of the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood novel, Brad Pitt's character goes to see it at a cinema I saw the 2018 film Cold War in the background, highly recommended great film Rewatched Crash last week, really good film and super fucked up Also Perry, you are a madman love your work, genuinely have no idea how you afford to live after these monster hauls

"I Am Curious" was mega-controverisal in the US when first released. I got part-way through the first film: utterly boring. Even my life is more exciting.

[@Deserthorror]

[@rsienicki]

I am one of those weird people that like "Squid and the Whale" more than "Marriage Story", but I think it's mostly because of the kid in "Marriage Story" who I found so annoying I couldn't get why they are fighting over him whole movie. "Mother" is brilliant movie and I am shocked it's so underratted. I never hear people talking about it.

RE: "everything is put back and organized properly before we leave"? I don't mean to be a dick, but this section is a complete mess (and I know it's not all your fault, but you bear some responsibility, as I will explain). "Day for Night" and "Fail Safe" are between "A Brighter Summer Day" and "City Lights"; "The Furies", "The Life Aquatic..." (and 2 other Wes Anderson films), "Being John Malkovich" and the Bunuel Box are between "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and "The Executioner"; "Fanny and Alexander" and "Husbands" are between "In The Heat of The Night" and "Island of Lost Souls"; "Good Morning" is between "Irma Vep" and "Merrily We Go To Hell" (which appears way out of place itself); "Three Outlaw Samurai" between "Man Push Cart" and "Matewan"; "Cat People" between "Pina" and "Pickup on South Street", with "Marriage Story" also in the P's. I saw you pick up "Jeanne Dielman..." from in front of "The Irishman", present it, then put it back IN FRONT OF "Good Morning". "Fast Times...", which you pulled out 3 copies of, at least one somehow ended up in front of "The Executioner". When you picked up "Gate of Hell", "Eating Raul" was right behind it, yet you didn't move it to its proper place, you just put "Gate..." back in front of it. The Bunuel Box (which one of you was admiring) somehow ended up one row to the left and one row down from where it was before, but was STILL between "Celine and Julie..." and "The Executioner". Yes, I took notes, but this was just from the first 19 minutes of your video, and you didn't see fit to film yourselves putting back your reject piles (I think that would actually be a cool video to watch, and you could explain why you didn't pick the titles you're putting back). BIG PROPS to Perry for that AWESOME shirt, and I do enjoy your videos (liked your take on "Jeanne Dielman..." btw), but to say "everything is put back and organized properly before we leave" is disingenuous at best. B&N organizes the discs in numerical and then alphabetical order in columns from front to back, and the columns run from left to right. If you've read this far, thanks for reading my rant!
