I was the one Nosferatu was possibly referencing in his original post.

Had it for ages and tbh I’ve not seen it, sometimes I can have films for yr or so before I watch it, So now I have a habit trying to watch them when I get them because the pile to watch just gets bigger, so trying to minimise it :lol:,
But sadly doesn’t always work like that,
With games to play, films and tv shows to watch, and having a life as well :nod::lol:.

But judging by other ppl comments it’s a miss more than hit, not even 4 on IMDb, and barely a proper like on letterboxd, 99% are giving it 2 and half or less.

These three arrived yesterday. Seeing Dead of Night without a slipcase is irritating, but I know it'll be temporary because I tend to file discs away after watching them and don't have many boxes on display. The Green Man was a blind buy – it's the only one of the three I haven't seen.

Demdike@Cult Labs 24th September 2021 04:09 PM

I have The Green Man on dvd. It's really good. Alistair Sim is excellent as a vacuum cleaner salesman / bomber.

The Green Man sounds like the sort of absurdist black comedy which I really like, something tonally similar to Arsenic and Old Lace or Kind Hearts and Coronets, both of which are amongst my favourite films.

It's not as silly / daft / bonkers as Arsenic and Old Lace.

The overview on the rear cover says "the film makes an interesting companion piece to MacKendrick's The Ladykillers", which is an attractive comparison.

Justin101 25th September 2021 12:12 PM

I watched The Ladykillers for the first time ever last weekend I really enjoyed it!

I think The Ladykillers is a brilliant film, one of the all-time great British comedies.

I only recently watched the Walking the Edge Blu-ray and really enjoyed the film. Robert Forster is very good in the lead role.

Star of David: Beautiful Girl Hunter is a wonderul, transgressive masterpiece. It certainly isn't a film for everyone, and would no doubt appall many, but it is beautifully made and at times jaw-dropping. Don't watch it when the vicar comes round!

I've always liked Robert Forster and the film got a good write up. All of the things you listed about Star of David are why I wanted to see it. And if the vicar comes round he's at the wrong f***ing house.

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 28th September 2021 10:54 PM

Those Kino Clint Eastwood BD's are well worth picking up.
They come with original/reversible art and slip covers.

Let's hope he doesn't come around by mistake!

From the 101 Sale, was unsure about buying this because the director is a creep, but I'm sure he's been paid already so it'd only be hurting 101 if people don't buy the film.

I'm trying not to look, so many bargains, I did buy The Ring (Ringu) though because I already bought all the sequels in the last Halloween sale, but I learned recently that the special features for all of them are bundled with the first film...

Might pick up a few others, probably Children of the Corn 2 & 3 and Cold Light of Day

Remember - you won’t be able to flog these on cultlabs in a couple of weeks [emoji6][emoji6]
… and, more importantly - I won’t be able to buy them!

I look at this way at 2.99 each it would be cheaper than getting one new release from arrow and saves space.

I recall enjoying that one gag. Been years though. My favourite is definitely the original though. 2 and 4 are awful. 4 in particular.

Doesn't really have much to do with the other House films, it's original title was The Horror Show. It's got the uncut version on the disc though, the US disc is just the R rated cut. I really like it, I mean it's got Brion James being mental.

Although the first one is the best one, I love the second one as well.

Bought the Morecambe & Wise Show: The Thames Years (S1), mainly because Cushing turns up in the Xmas episode :nod:. UK dvd. £1.
