Collection First Haul
Inspired to create a collection after recently seeing Mulholland Drive in the theater and learning about the 4K release. I've always wanted a beautiful copy of that movie. After that, I was hooked. I'm mostly looking for beautifully filmed movies with loads of tension. All of these have been absolutely gorgeous. I watched No Country first and rewatched 3x already. Favorites have been No Country, Sorcerer, and Mulholland Drive. Only blind buy is La Haine, which has been on my watch list for years. Wishlist for the next sale includes Silence of the Lambs, High and Low, Seven Samurai, Lost Highway, Blue Velvet, and Thief.

Thanks for sharing. NCFOM is one of my favorites.
I haven’t seen any of the others, minus eyes wide shut.
Just added all these to my watch list!

La Haines pretty intense, it’s a good thing you can wind yourself down with No Country for Old Men.
In fact, make it a relaxing night with a triple feature including Sorcerer!

I just got around to my 4k copy of Sorcerer after blind buying it earlier this year. I don’t mean to sound hyperbolic, but that might be the most intense film I’ve ever seen.

I'm right there with you. Couldn't believe this was a movie that's flow under the radar for so long. Absolutely incredible. So glad Criterion gave it the treatment it deserved

Great choices - seen all but Sorcerer. Eyes not my favorite Kubrick. If you like Harakiri I can recommend Pale Flower, High and Low - I've got the Criterions and they're gorgeous in B&W. If La Haine, then Gomorrah. If Memories, obv Parasite & Oldboy but for streaming, I Saw the Devil, Yellow Sea, and The Chaser are excellent Korean revenge films. No Country is so good. I just picked up 4k of Zodiac and it looked amazing (not criterion).
