Hey Dave, another terrific video and will be looking into those films that you featured by Alan Pakula, Just wanted to let you know that there is five seasons to the six Million dollar, man and 6 tv films. Just to give you a heads up. Take care of my friend be well

Cool stuff Dave. I have the Blu-ray sets of the original Star Trek series. The thing I thought was cool was that they redid some of the special effects and you could choose which way to watch them or toggle between both to compare. I haven't seen any other Star Trek series but I do have the 4k sets of season one and two of Star Trek, Strange New Worlds. Anyway, Great stuff and info!

I purchase a lot of TV box sets on digital too, because I don’t want to have to rely on expensive streaming services. Let’s face it, streaming prices keep climbing and paying a bundle price for my favourite TV series is worth it.

Dave like to hear your thoughts on the SMDM when you are guys done. I'm in the middle of season 4 of SMDM and season 2 of the Bionic Woman they have quite afew cross over episodes.

Klute is on my list for the next flash sale. When does the next one day flash sale usually occur for Criterion?

TOS is my favorite Trek and probably second only to The Simpsons as my favorite TV of all time. Just love the dynamics of those characters.

Her should be in Criterion

It’s 😢sad that so many BigLots are closing. It like the end of an era.

Watched 2 Carol Lombard's, the first, the Hitchcock Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Both Robert Montgomery and Lombard are great in it. But the 2nd, Twentieth Century really charmed me no end with John Barrymore giving a once in a lifetime performance and when he spars with Lombard, it's endlessly entertaining. Great supporting cast in Twentieth Century too. So, that's what I've been watching lately.

That copy of Richard III looks great. What a cast!

Very nice pickups 🛻 Dave

I am going to pick up Dune Pt 2, but I was disappointed in how it departed even further from the book than part 1 (and essentially dropped my favorite character-toddler Alia).

I haven’t picked up much lately. I did get Dune Part Two, Miami Vice Complete Series, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga this summer.

I mentioned this channel

That Scorsese trilogy I have my eye on, some superb films on it like Silence that very few people know about it.

i found today some interesting films for me in my local shops that carry Media DVDs Rutger Hauer -Beyond Justice 1992 Don "the Dragon" Wilson- Prophet 1998 Howard Hughes - Hells Angels 1930 Andrew McCarthy The Sight 2000 Consequence 2003 Rutger Hauer-Escape From SoBiBor 1987 This Property is Condemned-1966 Billy Liar-1963 The Blue Lamp-1950

Socerer is indeed a remake of the French film, Wages Of Fear. Friedkin put his own spin on it, but it is a remake. I think Friedkin’s movie is way better; a rare case where the American remake is better than the foreign original.

I’m not into much modern TV myself, but both of my parents and my best friend were really into “Walking Dead” and then quit it in the late seasons because they found it too dark and cynical (what Jess called the people being the bad guys).

If you’ve never seen the TV series called Penny Dreadful, I would recommend it. I think you and Jessi would really enjoy it. Great cast and fantastic story-telling. Along the same lines as Penny Dreadful, Ripper Street is also very good.

My Cousin Vinny is fantastic! When it came out, my whole family watched it together and we were so proud that it featured Italians in the cast 😂

You are watching more modern TV shows, I'm a product of growing up in the 70s and 80s I'm watching more shows from that Era and before. I myself don't binge watch a show, I can't do 3,4 or 5 of the same show. An example of Friday night I watch Dallas 2 episodes and X-Files 2 episodes until done I'm half through had never watched them when they were on, Dallas is just a fun show to watch it would nice as a group watch. And Saturday night is Six Million Dollar man and Dynasty 2 episodes each. Sorry if this is to long Dave.

Another fun video, I agree Letterbox must include tv series as well, I have 3 to recommend Monk, Rizzoli and Isles and Kids on the Hall. I got them on dvd and I’ve seen them before, but they’re really cool to revisit, I’m a huge Angie Harmon fan So I must’ve watched the series at least three times already and it’s cool. Her parents on the show are.Chazz Palmanteri and Lorraine Bracco. Fun series to watch set in Boston take care, my friend. Have a great week.

Wow. You get so much more out of streaming than we do. We tend to do the usual looking for something to watch and end up watching nothing. I get Apple TV+ free with my bank account, Amazon Prime Video because we use Prime shopping and BBC iPlayer because it comes with our TV license, but we find there’s such little quality to watch these days. My big recommendation is Slow Horses on Apple TV and I’m really looking to the 4th series starting soon. For TV shows, especially since we cut the cord, Apple TV 4K has been a game changer. Easy to use and such highly quality is very noticeable but the ability to have new episodes suddenly pop up is the best thing. Everything in one place, no separate apps. Just watched Carlito’s Way on Arrow 4K which was a delight. Brian de Palma always amazes me. Have a great week both.

Do you not do content any more with Movie Chatter? I always enjoyed those videos but haven't been around either of your channels in a while.

Great Episode as always. I didn't realize it but Nick Cassavetes is Gena Rowland's son. It must have been interesting when they were making the Notebook. Cheers !

The Changeling. George C. Scott

For anyone who really cares about film, do yourself a favor and watch at least one or two Casavetes pictures. Btw, Gena Rowlands pronounced her name "Jenna". RIP Gena, you will never be replaced.

I don't usually use subtitles, only when it's a foreign movie do I usually. But I remember the Criterion Blu-Rays having very difficult subs to read. It's thin letters and no outline, so the white letters can blend into bright colors on the screen.

I've been watching The Walking Dead on bluray got to Season 9 I have a 7.1.4 atmos system - dialogue is crystal clear on that because the mix pushes it to the center speaker with a lot of the effects/music resigned to the surround speakers. much better. I have all the CC40 titles so won't buy it but I do like the idea. My first Criterion title was Robocop on DVD

Another terrific and interesting video Dave

I watch movies because sometimes you come across something brilliant that is Art, it brings you to your deepest humanity. Got one this weekend.....A Taste of Honey, 1961. It's in the Criterion Collection.

Dave

Are those the bluray or dvd version?

Nice picks. I grabbed ‘A Fitful of Dollars’ and ‘For a Few Dollars More’. To my surprise, both came with slip covers! makes me happy.

Nice pickups, Dave! Play Misty for Me is my favorite Eastwood movie. Enjoy!

Nice picks! I almost grabbed Play Misty for Me. Maybe next time. I snagged a couple of DVD to Bluray upgrades for my collection (Russian Ark and Brick) as well as some new stuff: The Atomic Cafe, The Last Laugh (such a great film), and Dr. Who - Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.

I'll have to check some of those out. You mentioned how you like how easy it is to see the year of the film on the back. Completely agree and also that they have it really easy to see the run time as well.

I watched “Play Misty For Me” on Netflix years ago. It was okay.

So happy you managed to pick up a copy of The Brink’s Job. As a fan of Peter Falk I know you’re going to love it. I’m a huge fan of Warren Oates and as always he’s great. Enjoy and have a great weekend.

It would probably make you cringe to know that if the slipcover matches the cover art, I just throw it out. I figure every 100 or so probably equals the space of another blu-ray and I’d rather have the extra space and quicker access (unless the cover is different art).

This is a great idea! I think you've inspired me to share my own

Dave, glad y’all enjoyed Perfect Days as well. Such a good movie! Thanks for sharing your cassette collection.

Thank you for sharing your cassette collection with us! Growing up, we had a very musical household so we were always listening to records and tapes. I wish I had kept my cassettes - they were stored in a leather briefcase-style case. Sometimes, I would open it up and just stare at all the spines, making lists in my mind of all my favourites.

I'm looking forward to buying Perfect Days. I'm planning on getting it for the next Criterion sale.

I am casually searching for a good tape player at Goodwill. I have too many old cassettes (some not available in other formats) to give up on them.

Perfect Days was my favourite film of last year. Neat to see your cassette collection too.. cheers :)

Glad to see you enjoying our wonderful British artists from back in the day 😀 I also like Nick Lowe and especially Elvis Costello. I lived in Japan for most of the 90s and I was fortunate enough to catch him at The Royal Albert Hall in the mid 90s during a short trip back home. He and The Attractions were doing three dates as part of a reunion of sorts which turned into an incredible night. Although I don’t have any original cassettes or vinyl any more, I do have some of the original 80s mastered CDs which all sound like I first remember them. Regards to Jessie and enjoy your week.

We’ve all had so much rain this summer, it’s been wild! I think Toronto has set a record for most rainfall ever in Summer since, like, the 1930s 😅

Do you and Jesse decorate for Halloween? We are already preparing for our decor. This years addition will be a haunted house and dead tree for the kitchen display shelf.

Love it! I almost picked up the Akerman set myself. I went with The Red Balloon and Other Stories, Hôtel du Nord, The Naked Island, and Le samouraï in 4K (upgrade from my DVD edition).
