DVD Haul

Mad Max trilogy, Peaky Blinders boxed sets (Historical, so so good).

Also, The Walking Dead season 1-5 currently on season 2 started season one this morning and aiming to finish the lot this weekend. Wish me luck.

I love Tampopo and it was finally available at a reasonable price. Mr. Baseball is just one of those films I like that no one else seems to.
 
Got a bunch of stuff in the mail. Complete Star Trek (original series, to replace our previous set; the visual quality seems much better); complete The Wild, Wild West; Abar, the First Black Superman (seems to be an insane blaxploitation flick); Fitzwilly (Dick van Dyke comedy); The Fearless Vampire Hunters, or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck (Roman Polanski's horror comedy); Within Our Gates (early, silent African-American drama); The Seventh Sin (Eleanor Parker drama, from the Somerset Maugham novel The Painted Veil); a collection of early TV appearances by James Dean.
 
I found a raft of modren movies, but traded them off for a few books, like 5000 popsongs and rubbish bios of popstars. These can sit in the bathroom and slowly get wet from the steam and it won't matter.
 
Fog And Crimes Season One.
I've heard good things about this Italian detective series so now I just need to find the time to watch it.
 
Killjoys series 1.

Orphan Black series 2 (Need to pick up series 1 now.)
 
Rick and Morty Seasons 1 and 2. Worth every penny. I can't wait for Season 3 to begin.
 
Ive been trying to pick up SF films that aren't too mainstream and that take me out of my viewing norms. I just got Maggie, Europa Report and something called Love, which looks very interesting.
 
Europa Report

That's one of my favorite movies of the last few years (based on a single viewing - need to watch it again). It might be slow to some, and the intentionally glitchy "found footage" style was initially off-putting even to me but it eases up after awhile and I got into it and thought it was great overall. Deserves to be much better known. Maybe it'll become a "cult classic" someday?
 
Dark Matter, Series two
Z Nation, series two
Lucifer, series 1
Preacher, series 1.
 
Am a big fan of Japanese actor/director, Takeshi Kitano, and have had the great pleasure of watching nearly all of his films over the last 20 years or so.

But now a handful are coming through as BluRay releases, so couldn't resist buying what I would consider some of his best work:-

Zatoichi
Outage / Beyond Outrage
Battle Royale
Kikurijiro
A Scene By The Sea
Dolls

and of course, Hanabi!

Not a cheap option, but quite frankly I don't care, because the end result of all these films is superb!
 
Picked up Rogue One, Train to Busan and Rrival on BR yesterday
