The Haul

I have an extensive collection of  DVDs, and since Netflix DVDs collapsed, I've been using it more and more. So I got to the library booksale as early as reasonable. Here are the books DVDs picked up. 

  • Bird of Paradise - See above
  • Queen Christina  - Haven't see it yet
  • An American in Paris - For every collection
  • Flamenco Flamenco - I think we saw this projected on the wall at Foreign Cinema. So sophisticated and romantic. We love Carlos Saura.
  • Predator - Ms. Spenser's favorite monster
  • John Wick 4 - Ms. Spenser's favorite human
  • Minority Report - I want to rewatch, and it's only dollar. What is that in cents/minute?
  • The Marvels - Darn it, I like this movie
  • Shoot 'Em Up - I mainly remember the part about looking for lactating whores, and Clive Owen flying through the air, gun in one hand, baby in the other. 
  • Charlie's Angels 2 - I already have CA1, and I think I like the second even better. The early computer game CGI and lots of Crispin Glover 
  • Josie and the Pussycats - Why not?
  • House of Flying Daggers - Not in my collection yet. Can watch over and over
  • Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Best in the batch. 

You wouldn't believe what I left behind. The 2000s X-Men boxset (my collection is only missing part 2), the 2005 Fantastic Four (already own it - but looking for Fantastic Four 2 - Rise of the Silver Surfer), Invaders from Mars, ... Maybe I should have gone back. I don't want to be a hard media absolutist or anything, but you can't trust streaming.
