Oscar- which box set do you have?
The one like a book with the book or the masterpiece collection?
If you have the masterpiece collection you have a valuable set...
The Criterion version is stunning.
The 4K transfer would please the Master himself!
I even said out loud: They’re taking good care of your baby Stanley!
The second disc has excellent special features too.
I’ll do a review of this DVD 📀
"Set the controls for the heart of the Sun" - Pink Floyd
I have the Masterpiece collection with 10 Blurays made for the European Market.
I added Cronnenberg's amazing EASTERN PROMISES (2007)which mixes the gangster genre with a murder mystery where the "detective" is a nurse played by the great Naomi Watts. It's a film that I continue to grow in admiration for its narrative construction, complex mise-en-scene, and depth of feeling in the resolution that will surprise you.

I added an early talkie to the list: THE FRONT PAGE, the original (1931) adaptation of the play written by former reporters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Lewis Milestone directed. The book and the performances by an ensemble of actors playing Chicago reporters are the reasons to watch it of course (Adolph Menjou is awesome!). But the film boasts innovative cinematography and staging-in-depth too.
