I've seen 63 of them so far, but I watched everything except 1 of them from 2020. Maybe this year I'll pick up the last 15 that I need to be up to date. Or maybe I'll always be chasing it.
Daughter of the Nile is in my top 20 films of all time. It’s incredible. Reminds me a bit of Wong Kar Wai.
But congrats on being complete on the set mate. My jealousy is only outweighed by my happiness for you.
Congrats on the milestone, it's impressive to see it all come together! Just remember no more spending 😏 Haha. Great stuff and showcase Luke, cheers!
Eastwood's was Escape from Alcatraz and it's awesome.
Wasn't imagining it then! Just a misremembrance.
@@RazorwireReviews It's usually streaming on one of the platforms, well worth checking out again.
Wow, the end of an era!
Though I’ve never dived into this range myself, it’s been a wonderful journey to watch your collection grow and I’m so happy for you that you’ve managed to complete it!
House is marvelously off the wall, a favourite from the collection.
I'm surprised that was one of the remaining few he'd not yet got until now. It's a very popular release both on MoC & Criterion. It's a mad film but great fun.
I really want the Michelangelo Antonioni ones but they are out of print and finding it hard to find them 2nd hand 🙁. I've only got La Notte
Yeah they're tricky ones!
You know you (and Elliot Coen) have really encouraged, for better and worse, my Masters of Cinema collecting habits. I started buying them in November and now have 177 titles (including 56 OOPs). So thanks for showing me a way to destroy my disposable income!
Jesus Christ! It took me half a decade to collect that much, and on sale prices/ years of xmas gifts. All that in 3 months? You madman 😆
@@RazorwireReviews Make that 57 OOPs (I just bought The Burmese Harp). I collect Arrow, Second Run, Indicator, BFI and StudioCanal BDs too, but I've just found that collecting MoCs was the most interesting and, admittedly, addictive thing to collect at the moment. And it all began with collecting Criterions in February 2021 (I never thought I'd have more Eureka titles than Criterions, but that's what happened in the last month).
Though I am sure you have spent far less on buying MoCs, I at least got a bargain with #4: I randomly found an American eBay seller with two brand new copies of Un Femme Mariée and got one for £17.
@@olavbjortomt1596 that is a very good price!
This is why YOU are the master of the Masters of Cinema! Top notch collection!!! Enjoy the treasure trove:)
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is amazing isn't it? Probably my favourite title released on this label. I adore that movie. I sought out & watched every film Peggy Ann Garner was in after seeing that movie.
Ooooh, was there anything of worthy mention? She seemed to not have a very long career and I did wonder.
@@RazorwireReviews I really enjoyed Keys Of The Kingdom, Teresa & Daisy Kenyon, they are definitely worth checking out, Teresa isn't easy to find mind. She played the young Jane Eyre in the 1943 adaptation too alongside an also very young Elizabeth Taylor & she was fantastic & I believe it's what impressed the studio enough to give her the Tree Grows In Brooklyn role. She mostly did bit-parts which is a shame for such a good young actress that her career never took off but she did get a couple of movies where she played the lead that came directly off the back of her success in A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, first there was Junior Miss which was a role created especially for her & the other was Home Sweet Homicide. Both were fun but forgettable films. Her life was pretty sad tbh. Her mother was a typical stage mom & they had a very strained relationship, she saw very little of her father, none of her marriages lasted very long, she struggled to find work as an actress most of her career only getting guest roles in TV shows for the most part & eventually she died at the young age of just 52 of cancer & her only child, her daughter, died even younger at just 38. I love her as an actress though & that was born of my love for A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
I'd never seen it til about a year ago though I know the musical version but yes it's really great.
@@WolfGratz It's fantastic. Elia Kazan wasn't happy with the film but I'm sure he'd appreciate how well loved it is amongst so many critics & film fans alike. The MoC restoration is absolutely sparkling too, I was jumping for joy when they first announced it was coming around this time a couple of years back.
This feels like a season finale. I remember being like "woah" when you got to 100 spines. Heres a question: what would you recommend to a MoC newbie? I'm a fan of old war films, westerns, mysteries and crime thrillers especially
Maybe M by Fritz Lang would be a great place to start with moc. Classic crime thriller. Can be picked up fairly cheap also.
I’m trying to collect every release of the imprint label here in Aus. I honestly can’t believe we have our own boutique label here so I want to support it even though some of the releases don’t seem like my thing. But collecting all of Eureka must have been a major undertaking, congrats on reaching it.
Saw a ton of blu rays so I clicked.
Criss Cross is a great Film Noir with a very surprised ending. Enjoy your your site.
Wow! Incredible collection, sir.
I really need to step my moc collection game up now. I’d love to own the whole set. I own maybe 20 or so moc titles atm. Kudos on your dedication man. Great video also.
Are Eureka BDs Zoom Enabled or Disabled? I often find my Oppo 95-and especially my Pioneer Elite LX500- BD player's zoom control to be a very useful and fun tool to use-even if only briefly, to highlight aspects of scenes. While about 55% of my BD collection, from distros like Warners, Twilight Time and Kino, have zoom enabled, those like Criterion Collection, Universal, ShoutFactory and Sony have zoom disabled. But I have no Eureka BDs to know about their BD edition of "Flight of the Phoenix". Would you know if this Eureka BD release is zoomable?
I have absolutely no idea as my blu-ray players don't have a zoom function to my knowledge, sorry!
Awesome sets well done pal
Just when you think he's lost the plot, he goes at buys 25 films just to complete a collection! Love it : )
Massive achievement dude. You are the go to for masters of cinema
Nice collection bro just bought my first 3 cujo,vampire and troll
Very cool. Congrats, I guess! I recently got Daughter of the Nile & The Mourning Forest - as well as La Notte. I've enjoyed all of the MoC releases I've gotten over the years but I feel like I've been sleeping on them lately for some reason, been focusing on other stuff and now I notice some of them have gone out of print. Will try to get some more of those I've been eyeing for some time.
"Congrats, I guess!" is a statement I can get behind, haha. Yeah I think more than most of the boutique labels around, MoCs can go out of print very quickly and quietly.
Bruh, nice. You are going to be so jealous when I decide to pull the trigger to finish the complete Criterion Collection and order 1000+ movies at once after I won the lotery.
Your James Stewart impression is ... well, it made me laugh so there ya go :D When it comes to Eureka MOC, you're my go-to person. If anyone deserved to complete their MOC collection, it was you. Good job, man. I recently picked up Irma La Douce but still haven't watched it yet because holy shit did you see that runtime? You're right when you say that 80-90 min movies are where it's at. If anything's over 2 hrs, I'm like NOPE. So yeah, that's why I haven't watched Irma yet. I will, though ... when I've got 3 hrs to spare. And fuck off with your 2x speed! (I watched this video at 1.75)
Congratulations - this is a work of art.
Hahaha
Another Eureka Masters of Cinema release that has the same color scheme with Five Graves to Cairo that you like is Made in Hong Kong. Plus it has a slipcover. How come you don't have it yet?
Well I do say multiple times in this video that I have now completed the MoC collection so... I don't know why you think I -don't- have it? ;)
@@RazorwireReviews Because I thought that you keep all your Eureka slipcovers together. From this video I can't see the Made in Hong Kong slipcover. So I guess you keep it on a different shelve right?
@@creepercreep6071 There's literally no order to anything on the shelf behind me, I'm still in the midst of re-organising pretty much my entire collection at the moment.
@@RazorwireReviews Cool. You should do an updated room tour video once you get your library re-organized.
Congrats on the completion. Feel like I've been on the journey with you heh. My MoC collection is more selective, but I did just add House to the pile. Feel like I should have seen that Japanese weirdness by now.
That's pretty insane. Good job!
I've seen a few of these and they are all great films. Just few weeks ago I saw "A foreign affair" and it's a beautiful comedy for me, I love the Jean Arthur-Marlene Dietrich pairing, they are two of my favourite actresses of all time.
Nice! I eagerly await checking it out.
Wow, congrats man!! Now it's just time to watch then all! ;)
A Long Day's Journey Into Night is largely based round Eugene O'Neil's family when growing up which seems to have been incredibly dysfunctional even judged by the standards of O'Neil's plays. A long and somewhat depressing view. There's a heck of a lot of good and often surprising films there - personally btw I liked Twilight's Last Gleaming but my favourite in the bunch is A Man for All Seasons - Paul Schofield got the oscar btw but there are loads of excellent performances - and I love the young John Hurt especially.
I meant to add Irma la Douche, weirdly enough, is based on a musical but has no songs in the film. A friend of mine was in the original London production and remains unimpressed.
I know I should congratulate you, but I am sick with envy.
I also agree with Connie, that is a lovely cover and I am so tempted to get it.
I honestly would highly recommend the film, I'll have a review up for it fairly soon.
Well done Luke! Glad you finally got there. :)
Thanks! Haha
I have Tokyo Sonata in the original thin blue case. It just irritates me that it looks different to the rest
Irma La Douce is great i watched it the other week I was really surprised by it was not quite sure what to expect but it hooked me in really fast its safe to say they don't make them like this anymore.
Nice!
Three Days of the Condor is another great 1970's, paranoid, conspiracy thriller.
I'll second that. Like House it's surprised me Ryan's taken so long to pick it up.
16:25 VERY COOL.....also just made me shoot beer through my nostrils, cheers.
yeah this is great :D
James Stewart had a Pennsylvanian accent very distinctive.
-Was The Apartment not Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine?
-Escape from Alcatraz as the Clint film.
It was!
I’d love to complete the masters of cinema collection but there are so many out of print now
Yeah when I started seriously collecting in 2014 it was probably nearing the window closing on being able to affordably track down OOP stuff.
Plenty of interesting films, Used Cars is a lot of fun. Criss Cross is also cool because this is one of the first, if not the first, movie that had had some serious things to say about LGBTQ themes. And then Bird Man of Alcatraz which is one of my favourite films of all-time, so amazing. Has nothing to do with Escape from Alcatraz though, nor The Rock :-D
Haha, yeah I've now had the Eastwood connection clarified. Great to hear high praise for Alcatraz!
You sure you're not referring to Michael not Criss Cross, unless I missed something :)
Maybe one of the "minor" films in the collection is, ironically, "Eureka" from Nicolas Roeg. I love the director but don't love that film.
I reviewed it last year, really loved parts of it, a very bold film. Can definitely see why some wouldn't like it!
@@RazorwireReviews Yeah, it's obviously not a bad movie, certainly a bold one. In his carrier he made some really great films.
P.S. The name of the director of "Conversation Piece" (Luchino Visconti) is pronounced with the "hard" c, not the soft one, but "Lucino" is very nice ahah
Congrats on completing the collection! I've only got a few Eureka's myself but hope to get more this year.
I've started a new channel myself, i'd appreciate if you or any of your subscribers would take a look. cheers!
New credit card with silly low interest? EDIT: Apparently not.
Now lets see what you've bought.
GOOD job 👍
I ALWAYS say " each to thier own "..
BUT why ??? Lol is it an addiction?.
Sure I own a Uber TV and UHD player and Sound etc and own 600 ISH films from new ( Tenet to old Fritz Lang ), so yeah into films even I have too many.
Anyway thing is and only IMHO , Eureka MoC are not that special.
Generally they are straight blu rays that are not new 4k transfers and lol a lot come with an f-ing DVD like WHAT ???? In 2021 a DVD.
Yes if u like a film they are good value around £10 which compared to Criterion is kool.
Anyway more power to ya, I got mostly film noir stuff and 50s in general but I never use the DVD.
I think it's because I never blind buy , as say with Arrow I don't want some crap 70s 80s niche horror like society or like Re-animatior .
Actually more I think about it cool ,my buying since lockdown Defo been a little cafine driven at 4am, then I think WTF did I need that. Retail therapy lol we all need it in SARS COVID 19 times, but hey that's some commitment .
But for me ( Salvador, Ace in the hole and witness for the prosecution ALL worth it. 👍👍🤗 PS saw u got Salvador a film from my youth kinda a companion for Apocalypse now , the making of it was crazy & jeez the true insane stuff that this finds about great film.
Birdman of Alcatraz ,yep about Con gets into birds might even be true.
Lol yep Clint was in The escape from Alcatraz.
I've watched far too many films 🤗
An addiction? Sure, haha!
Hope you recycled the cardboard 😂 Three Days of the Condor and Kes are worth whatever you paid for the whole batch on their own.
Send me a message if you need more space for storage, I'll gladly keep them safe ;).
Film is called Kes 'kestrel' i think the bird is a Falcon lol. Sorry had to laugh.
Hey we all have our moments. And I have more than most...
Kes is abbreviated from the book title A Kestrel for a Knave. The bird is a kestral.
New credit card with silly low interest? EDIT: Apparently not.
Now lets see what you've bought.
Never had a credit card! Zero interest. No pun intended.
@@RazorwireReviews Wise decision. Other than a preloaded one for use abroad me neither.
