Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Thanks again Victor.......

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I do have Bicycle Thief. After first watching it I immediately had to run out and search for other early de Sica films….The Children are Watching Us….Miracle in Milan….Umberto D….Two Women. All excellent films.

Pasolini…..These are only a few on dvd and the others on vhs are hard to find. I have Arabian Nights and Canterbury Tales. I recently watched a friend’s vhs copy of The Gospel According to St. Matthew. Any other recommendations?....

Raggedy Rawney…..looks interesting, but I can’t find it for sale at any of the usual web sites...is it out on video?

Knife in the Water… I have not seen this film..I understand that it will be released later this year on dvd so I was waiting for this.

Life as a Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease….Yes, I saw a reference to this fim somewhere before, but have not been able to locate it……Perhaps because I had written it down erroneously as "Love as a Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease"….Any hidden meaning there..I wonder?

Down and Dirty….looks worth searching for….we’ll see if it turns up.

Woman in the Dunes…yes, another favourite since I first watched a friend’s vhs copy a few years ago(during my Japanese/Chinese film watching phase when I tried to catch up with all Kurosawa and all other classic Asian films). I bought the Woman in the Dunes dvd as soon as I realized it was available.

Criterion Grand Illusion…yes this was one of the first half dozen dvds that I bought.. Excellent Renior film, that goes nicely with my region 2 version dvd of Rules of the Game.. By the way I just watched another great Renior…”La Chienne” a few weeks ago.

By the way, today's shopping trip yielded a dvd of Fassbinder's Pioneers in Ingolstadt, which I will watch as a double feature with my friend's vhs of "The Marriage of Maria Braun" this evening.
