Approximately Infinite Universe
Halloween DVD
(Finally replaced my VHS copy. Classic film of both the slasher genre and the career of John Carpenter. Directed in 1978 featuring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis. Not the first slasher but I would bet money on it being the catalyst for the slasher movement if one can even call it that. Also, classic soundtrack by John Carpenter.)
THX 1138 DVD
(The dystopian feature film debut of George Lucas, originally directed back in 1971, 6 years before he would go on to change the world for better or worse with the 1977 film Star Wars. I haven't seen this film in its entirety as the VHS copy I had didn't work the whole way through lol. So I am looking forward to seeing this finally.)
Survive Style 5+ DVD
(I purchased this on two factors; I love Tadanobu Asano and the trailer looked fucking wacky and insane. Directed in 2004 by Gen Sekiguchi who... Doesn't seem to have done much else unfortunately.)
Bobby Deerfield DVD
(Directed in 1977 by Sydney Pollack who directed Out of Africa and the really awesome The Yakuza. This is a romantic drama which is actually one of my favourite genres when done right, but mostly I grabbed this because I am currently on a Al Pacino binge. In this one he plays a race car driver.)
Thief DVD
(Michael Mann neo-noir crime film from 1981 featuring James Caan. This one comes highly recommended by a few friends and so I was happy to find it for like $7. Should be a treat.)
First Men in the Moon DVD
(The second film adaption of the classic H.G. Wells novel. This was directed by Nathan Juran who also directed a few movies I've seen and liked, namely The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Siege of the Saxons. I mainly grabbed this because I adore Ray Harryhausen's work.)
