What Kino releases do you folks have or recommend?

[ScarletLion]

I have not got many. I'd like to own Andrei Zvaginstyev's Kino Lorber on Blu Ray

I have 'Ajami', 'Long Days Journey into Night', 'Winter Sleep', 'Young Ahmed'.

I've thought about getting the Alice Guy Blache collections a couple times, but haven't gotten around to it. I likely will pick them up eventually.

[Allaby]

I forgot to list a few that were not on the right shelf. I also have:

The Lodger
Fritz the Cat
De Sade
The Allnighter
Bedtime Story
Man's Favourite Sport
Those Daring Young Men in their Jaunty Jalopies

[Rockatansky]

They're running a sale right now, and I think it ends this weekend. I ordered these:


The Challenge
Delirium
The Escapees
Ffolkes
Man on Fire
The Night of the Hunted
Schoolgirl Hitchhikers
Emmanuelle 2
Goodbye Emmanuelle


I also wanted to grab the Silent Partner, but that didn't ship to Canada for some reason. Will probably find that through other avenues.


But yeah, I dunno if I collect their stuff specifically, but they seem to have a good mix of underrated studio films and more cult/genre stuff. I have a bunch of releases scattered throughout my shelf.

[Captain Terror]

I don't have a lot, but most of what I do have is from the silent era. A lot of the restorations of the old German horrors have been released on Kino.

Blu Ray restorations, all recommended:

Fritz Lang Silent Films box set
Buster Keaton short films collection
Nosferatu
Caligari
Faust
Jekyll/Hyde (Barrymore)
The Golem
Dr Cyclops

DVDs/unrestored - OK, but I'd hold out for a BluRay:
Battleship Potemkin
The Penalty (Chaney)
Flying Deuces
The Old Dark House

Nosferatu is excellent. I forgot I have that one on blu ray too. I would love to eventually get the Fritz Lang set and the Buster Keaton set. They look fantastic.

It's pretty great and introduced me to The Plague of Florence, which I didn't even know existed.

$100 is still a little much for me atm, although I might revisit it come September.

[Little Ash]

I'd have to check, but I know I have their version of Fallen Angels and Happy Together.


I know I've been buying up their KinoNow stuff just because I noticed recently it's one of the few services left where you can buy something digitally, download an actual copy, and it doesn't have DRM on it, so it easily and naturally integrates with something like Plex.


I know I came across it looking for some Jean Rollin stuff (they've got a lot).

[Little Ash]

That actually summarizes my physical media collection from them:
The Jean Rollin/Jess Franco stuff is under the kino-lorber/redemption label

WKW
Fallen Angels
Happy Together

Jean Rollin
(4 Vampire Film Collection)
The Rape of the Vampire
The Nude Vampire
The Shiver of the Vampire
Requiem for a Vampire
--
Two Orphan Vampires


Jess Franco
The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein


Mario Bava (collection)
Kidnapped (aka Rabid Dogs)
Lisa and the Devil
Black Sabbath
Baron Blood
Four Times That Night


Peckinpah
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia


Once we get into the digital download stuff, it becomes a lot more eclectic going from Nosferatu, Der Golem to Alex Cox's Straight to Hell, and I did pick up The Silent Partner and The Werewolf of Washington when they were on sale. But also things like Trans-Europ-Express and The Successive Slidings of Pleasure. I did even pick up Mad Love Amour Braque digitally, despite having the MondoVision DVD (because, you know, it's nice to have it in 1080p, even if it's not the highest quality 1080p.) *cough*also Emmanuelle 2*cough*


I've just been scooping up stuff on that end because the way the streaming world is going who knows how long a service like that remains DRM-free and as stated in other threads, physical space in my apartment is limited, so I can't amass a large physical media collection.

ETA:
I forgot my copy of Fear & Desire is a Kino Classic blu-ray.

[crumbsroom]

Yay L'aAmour Braque!

[xSookieStackhouse]

i never heard of it but i did google it and looked at the kino site thingy. they got pretty good movies

[Little Ash]

It looks like I have about 70 digital purchases from them.
I forgot they also have Chloe Zhiao's Songs my Brothers Taught Me.

[Citizen Rules]

So should we be happy that walgreens is listening or should we be scared? I guess it is good that someone is listening to me. I feel heard and validated now by walgreens!I have DRM disabled and I use Linux so they ain't listening to me! ha:D

[Torgo]

Surprisingly, I only have one: their 2006 release of Stalker. Duane Reade hears

I realized recently I have this as well. I also just bought the Criterion Blu-ray, so not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it when physical space is a premium.

Could always mail it over to me ;)
Yeah, I know - I'm far too helpful :D

As far as Kino Lorber releases go - I currently have only one less than Torgo, a lot closer than I perhaps expected.

I got one of those disc binders recently and used it for a lot of my DVDs and Blu-rays without nice looking packaging. Helped clear up a fair amount of space.

Not a terrible idea, and I did that at my previous place (and by that, I mean every DVD I had) where there was even less space, and I had much less of a collection. And you know what DVD case I lost in that process? Lady Terminator. A movie I own that is not contributing to that line of red DVDs from Mondo Macabro now.


I actually have some minor pointless contest every year at my place where I need to give away prizes. I'm going to just add this DVD to the prize box that people can pick from, serving as a pool of items.

I'm about to spend an ill-advised amount of money on this sale.

Cool. Have you decided which titles you are going to get?

I'm trying to pare the list down, but Yeti and Stunt Rock are definite. I'm a cineaste, after all.

[Captain Terror]

89135



My shipment arrived today. The total was right around $100 so I'm not feeling too guilty about splurging.

[Rockatansky]

“YETI”

[Rockatansky]

Also, I blind bought Stunt Rock recently.

[Captain Terror]

Best decision of your life.

[crumbsroom]

Is House By the River the Fritz Lang one? If so, I was very fond of that. If not, maybe I imagined a Fritz Lang movie by that title.


Also, lol Stunt Rock.


Or should I say lol Stunt Rock x 2

[crumbsroom]

Ya, I chucked the packaging of the vast majority of my DVD collection years ago. Unless it was something quality, I found so many of them were in cases that clearly weren't worth keeping. Frequently not even original poster art. Or even remotely good substitutes for the original poster art. So why even bother having that crap fill up shelf space?

[crumbsroom]

Also, I hope it doesn't sound like I don't think Stunt Rock is sort of great.


But still


lol

Yes it's the Lang film. I haven't seen it in about 20 years.


And yes, "lol" is the correct response to Stunt Rock.

Did I ever mention that I bought the Stunt Rock soundtrack CD?
That was a good choice that I made. :shifty:

I can't even imagine listening to Sorcery without those splendid (ie. stupid) onstage theatrics. It's the kind of awful that I'm sure would cause some kind of cancer. Magical cancer.

I heard a riff I liked and made an impulse purchase. I have listened to the CD once. :o

My entire musical taste has been built almost entirely on impulse purchases, so I can sympathize.

[Little Ash]

Despite being amused by the Stunt Rock trailer I've multiple times while turning on Trailer Wars (the real question is why have I watched Trailer Wars multiple times), I'm probably not picking it up.
But my Kino-Redemption blu-ray of Robbe-Grillet's The Man Who Lies showed up today, so that was pretty cool.
