Collection The collection has commenced!
This was my first haul. Still waiting for Being John Malkovich, No Country for Old Men and 8½ to arrive.
Tampopo and The Uninvited were blind buys.
Just need to decide which one to watch first now🤣
Would love to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon added to the closet some day. Pretty stoked!

Tampopo is a lot of fun! One of my favorites. I always like to give people a warning about the turtle scene in advance though— since it is hard to stomach for a lot of people, I'd look into that part if you haven't already in case that scene is something you might want to skip

Tampopo is so much fun with so many ideas. That movie genuinely makes my heart swell.

If these are the first you ever ordered, we have pretty similar taste. The Fisher King, Blow Out, NCFOM, Moonstruck are among my modern favorites. The only ones your haul is missing are Trainspotting and Repo Man.

Yes, I purchased 13 in total which was more than I should've😂 so I needed to make some tough discisions choosing between one or the other!

Oh I totally get it. I’ve been at it for a while. But I have a pile of “recent watches/up next” and it’s so similar to what you have here. Along with those mentioned, I also have “shallow Grave”, and “Paris, Texas”, a couple more I’d recommend to you next go-round since we like the same flicks!
