The Flesh and the Fiends is good, based on Burke and Hare. Added treat: a young Billie Whitelaw, who played the guardian in The Omen.

Nice!

Wings of Desire is wonderful--not like City of Angels at all. I'm confident you'll appreciate it! My favorite Wenders film, though, is Paris Texas.

Wonderful! Looking forward to it, then.

The Flesh and the Fiends was a first time watch for me this October! I expected a bit of Hammer-esque appeal and I was actually pretty shocked by the level of dark and lurid themes for a 1960 picture. Cushing's performance is great and I had never seen a Donald Pleasance performance that was so unhinged and despicable. Edit: I ordered my Tod Browning set directly from Criterion and I had the same problem with a popping loose disc. I thought I was going to have a heart attack 😂

Man, that sounds so awesome.

You’ve got me on a Film Noir kick. Just watched Mystery Street from 1950 starring Ricardo Montalban that was a really good one. I am also rewatching my Sherlock Holmes Basil Rathbone collection too although mine is just the DVD one.

Cool, I’ll look that one up!

I recently took a chance on a movie from Redemption called The Comeback (1978). It's a weird horror movie about a washed up singer. I don't want to say more than that but I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining this movie was. I got it pretty cheap from Kino Lorber. Not sure if they have any copies left but I recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for something a little different

Gosford park is brilliant, written by the writer of Downtown Abbey, America is so far ahead of the UK for releases, I love seeing Kino Lorber releases but as I live in Northern Ireland i've no chance of getting them as I got in touch with them and they don't post to the UK. There's nothing better than sitting back and losing yourself in a great movie.

WIthout a doubt, Wings of Desire is a great movie. Even if you don't do "arty" too much, this is just a wonderful film.

x I have heard that Beauty and The Beast version is fantastic, my favorite Disney animated film is Beauty and the Beast. x Gosford Park is an awesome murder mystery! x In A Lonely Place is a great noir! x Awesome films! x I watched When a Strangers Calls, there is a lot I could say about that film! x I was just talking about Freaks the other day after watching the video about Gibsonton, Florida on Weird History.

Nice haul, Daniel. I think that's pronounced as asphyx (ace fix). Not a bad film. Good to have in the collection. Looking forward to your classic Christmas movies video.

A few sales ago, I went up to my local B&N and was solely disappointed. They had hardly any discs, at all. All subsequent orders have been online.

Aw, that’s a bummer. A buddy of mine lives 3 hours from me and his B&N has zero criterions.

What is the French word for noir? I always forget 🤣 ... anyway, I spotted Elevator to the Gallows on the shelf there at Vintage Stock ... if you've never seen it, give it a try since it's Noirvember and many consider it a "French noir"
