  1. 639. Shaolin Master Killer (Widescreen Edition) is out in a new version from Dragon Dynasty, under the title The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

I’m not sure whether to change it or not, since the titles are different. Is there a way to put an aka title?

Of course, it appears that the version included in the list is OOP, so maybe it would be better to just replace it with the new one…

Hanyo — 27 weeks ago

The Korean film Hanyo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150980/
is available to be watched for free over on The Auteurs site http://www.theauteurs.com and is currently in the process of being restored for future release on Criterion.

Worth the watch!

I think the Lola from Fassbinder is wrong. Fassbinder’s Lola was made in 1981, and this is clearly situated among movies made around 1960-61, which leads me to believe that it is Jacques Demy’s Lola from 1961 that is the right one.

Fixed... — 43 weeks ago

Someone removed The Big Lebowski and added Tetsuo in its place. I checked my copy of the book and Tetsuo was not in it (strangely, it was in the index which referred me to the page that contained only Big Lebowski & The Celebration ?). But since it wasn’t in the book’s list, I went ahead and deleted it and added The Big Lebowski back in its rightful place.


Rear Window — 1 year ago

Just removed Rear Window at position 1002, since it is already on the list (no. 274).

Lola — 1 year ago

Fassbinder’s Lola is listed here at 372. That movie was made in the early 80s, so it is out of place here. Either the chronology is off, or it should be Jacques Demy’s Lola.
