Thanks for the heads up Patrocles. I absolutely love the quality from Criterion. My current Criterion collection consists of several Akira Kurosawa films and a few from Sergei Eisenstein.

Some good deals, unfortunately, most of it says out of stock. Luckily for me, Barry Lyndon isn't. I totally forgot that I have the Criterion "Barry Lyndon" and that one is my most recent Criterion purchase. It's the only Kubrick film I have from Criterion.

I ended up grabbing the Lone Wolf and Cub series and The Grand Budapest Hotel to fill out my Wes Anderson collection. I wanted La Dolce Vita but it is out of stock but says it is available at the local shop (not so local so I will not go there for one item)

I absolutely love “Grand Budapest Hotel”. By far it’s my favorite Wes Anderson film. Yes, he is quite the unique director. I forgot that I also grabbed The Fantastic Mr. Fox on this purchase. Anyone running with a 4K TV? I wonder how well BR scales up if I ever get a 4K TV.

I have heard of this classic film so I will have to see if the DVD is available at my public library (what I call the poor man's netflix! )

I havent watch many French movies. I have lots of German, Russian and Japanese films on bluray/dvd but nothing French. I'm actually hard-pressed trying to remember what was the last French-language film I saw. I remember back in the 90's I rented a French film from Blockbuster because ostensibly it was about the Franco-Prussian War but it was not. It was essentially a love story that just happened to be set during the war. I got bored quickly once the single (exactly ONE) combat scene was over.

I havent watch many French movies. I watch this one years and it was weirdest movie ever: Delicatessen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicatessen_(1991_film) LOL! I completely forgot about that gem! Probably worth another watch. I'd also recommend this one. Bizarre and totally entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZeWp1D8MlU
