I recently bought some 88 Films stuff and apparently there's some indie label beef between Arrow and other distributors, which I find endearing as hell. Indie labels putting out unremembered stuff is just so goddamn cool. Are there any others besides Code Red, Vinegar Syndrome, 88, Arrow, and Scream/Shout that're worth looking into?

A Band Called Death, Ms. 45, Miami Connection, Dangerous Men, and Trailer War are all worth picking up IMO. It's Arrow-esque weirdo or exploitation stuff. Trailer War in particular is great, it's 90 minutes of bonkers trailers, lots of 70s-80s bizarro sci-fi and martial arts. http://drafthousefilms.com

Blue Underground put out a few really nice but very affordable sets that horror fans would be interested in. I have their Fulci and Argento sets and they're fantastic, and each only cost me like $25.

RaroVideo USA has some cool releases. They aren't as good as other indie distributors but their releases are cheap. The first Fernando Di Leo boxset was a fun watch. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=775

Unmature posted:How the hell are they all only 10 bucks? To be fair, most of them are $10, some of the newer releases are $15. It's not a subscription or anything though, I've placed several orders with them and they're always $10 each. They aren't cheap products either, aside from Trailer War they've all come with Criterion style booklets and nice heavy duty cases. Alamo's just cool that way, I guess.  I forgot to mention that BFI has also been doing very nice releases that can be had for cheap. I bought their Vivre Sa Vie and Killing of a Chinese Bookie editions today and while I can't speak for the transfers just yet, the packaging is near Criterion quality.

If you're on the market for less cult-oriented and more forgotten foreign stuff, let me point you towards Second Run, one of the best curators of "films you'd never see otherwise": https://www.secondrundvd.com If you're looking for anything relatively obscure from Eastern Europe, these are your go-to folks.

I just watched Secret Honor and it was dope. It's rare that one-man-show movies keep my interest but this was equally riveting and hilarious.

For those with Filmstruck, they just added a bunch of King Vidor films including The Big Parade and The Crowd. While The Big Parade is the stunning 4K restoration, they're still using the ancient 80s transfer of The Crowd.

Round 2: Jacques Demy set McCabe & Mrs. Miller Tampopo La Dolce Vita I watched Blood Simple last night and enjoyed it a lot. I can't imagine the VHS version with the wrong music. It also seemed like a lot of the Coen style was already fully formed.

Picked up Blood Simple, Tokyo Story, and Chimes at Midnight. Chimes was a pretty impulse buy, so not sure what to expect. Supplements sound interesting at least.

Plus, three cuts, a commentary on the UK theatrical cut (Confidential Report), rushes and alternate scenes, plus a doc on the "comprehensive" version. That's not even getting into the booklet and book.

Anyone know if Barnes and Noble will let me use the pickup in store feature on an item's release day? If know one knows, I guess I'll have to report my success tomorrow.
