next year make it a top 100 please jumblie March 10 2007, 22:49:20 UTC

supercool list. your taste in films, as i've said before, is impeccable. i'd have to put "let's scare jessica to death" in my number two spot, if i were to make such a list; i'd been wanting this movie for Years, having seen it as a little wee one, it left an impression on my brain and i always wanted to see it again. and number one would go to "pretty poison", which is a movie i've been waiting for with Palpable Desperation (i believe i've written about it in my LJ, on a wishlist or somesuch, back a year or two). these two films bookend my nightly insomnia round age 8 or 9, when i'd sneak down and watch CBS and its late late show. i also salute the many giallos that have been getting released in the last couple of years; i have a fondness for "black belly of the tarantula" which i first saw at the Cinemuerte film festival a long while back (alongside Kichiku, which also came out on dvd this year and which you should give a look). also, jigoku and equinox! thanks criterion! (have you seen the new madmen and monsters box set?) and the ( ... )

Many thanks jumblie! I think you have impeccable tastes as well. :)

I''m glad you enjoyed my list and I appreciate that you shared the link in your own blog. I've looked ahead at what films will be coming to DVD this year and I gotta say... I may have to make it a top 100 next year! I hope to cover some of the new titles as they're released.

I believe you were the person who introduced me to Pretty Poison after we started talking about Anthony Perkins movies that needed DVD releases in your blog. I'm still rooting for The Fool Killer to get a proper DVD release too.

You also introduced me to Kichiku which I bought on DVD a year or two ago so it's been available for awhile and you were right, I really loved it! :)

That Madman & Monsters set looks amazing. I love me some Boris!

one of the films on your list that i had Never heard of is "don't deliver us from evil". it sounds like precisely what i want to watch right this moment, so i just ordered it over there at amazon ( ... )

Ah, I wish at least *some* of those had region 4 releases so I could see 'em. Alas, this region sucks monkey balls on toast.

wanderingmoon March 11 2007, 19:02:56 UTC

They must be! Of course I have no idea really... I assumed you could watch region 2 DVDs from the UK and I know a lot of these are available on region 2 but 4 I'm not so sure about.

We obviously both need to get ourselves all-region DVD players.

mrstroppy March 11 2007, 21:22:26 UTC

I've got an all-region player (they all are here!), but UK DVDs are expenssssiiiive, and same with region 1 when you throw shipping in. *sob*

"work is keeping me busy lately and I've been fighting off a cold"
Hopefully it's the 'happy' kind of busy and may you get better soon over the cold! :)

wanderingmoon March 11 2007, 19:00:05 UTC

Well, it's more like busy because I'm broke and I need to work extra hours so I can pay the rent. :/

Thanks though! I'm feeling a bit better now. :)
