Back when I was young and without many responsibilities, I spent way too much on Criterion DVDs. Then when I needed money, I had to pare them down. The first ones to go were Salo and White Dog, as I figured I would never need to watch either a second time. Which ones from your collections would you/have you had to sacrifice?

I know last week they said they were working on an update to get the channel back up and working, but now I don't even get that message. It just says there is a connection issue.

Are any other Samsung TV owners still having issues with the app?

Wondering if there’s a film you find yourself coming back to and rewatching every year, or maybe every now and then. Curious to hear a film that holds a special place in your heart, whether because of its a sentimental piece, the feelings it brings back, or simply the comfort and familiarity it gives you. Maybe it reminds you of a certain time in your life, makes you feel a certain way, or is just a story you never seem to get tired of. Is there a film like that for you? What it is that keeps drawing you back to it?

Off the top of my head, the films I always find myself coming back to are Goodbye Dragon Inn, Crayon Shin-chan The Adult Empire Strikes Back, The Social Network, Perfect Days, and American Fiction. 

Never knew this existed until today

I once planned to watch every title in the lineup but not including the Eclipse, Janus Contemporary or extra films…gave up on that dream long ago.
Has anyone ever watched every film in the 1300+ lineup just for curiosity sake?

Great gift pickups from my older brother.
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a solid reminder I need more Altman in my collection. The Kurosawa collection continues to grow. I’ve never seen Ace in the Hole, but it’s been my list for a while. I’ve become apparently very easy to buy gifts for. Very thankful for the new selections. 🎂

Me and my sibling went all the way to the Easton AMC to see it. It was way in the back of the dine-in and multiple people got their seats mixed up. Otherwise it was a perfectly respectable screening.
The woman next to me said she heard about it on TikTok and wanted to see something twisted and scary, and dragged her friend to see it. I don’t think they anticipated just how extreme the film gets.
There were two walkouts before THAT scene (which hilariously is a common thing occurring according to twitter).
The only laughs came from the actual funny bits (if you don’t see the image of a klan-hooded judge saying “This isn’t a political trial” as funny, then idk).
When it was over the audience was stunned silent and walked out with their eyes glued to the ground. I don’t know if they loved or hated it.
Me and my sib are big fans of this movie. I think it’s a 10/10 work of audacious art with a no-holds-barred approach to history and taste.
But how was your screening?

Trusting you guys 😘

In Vertigo, Jimmy Stewart is hired by a husband to follow his supposedly possessed wife, gradually falling for her, only to discover that the entire thing was an elaborate deception orchestrated by the husband. The woman he's fallen for isn't even who he thinks she is.

You Can See Everything follows a very similar trajectory. Nathan becomes increasingly obsessed with Liz, seemingly falling for her narrative to the point of wanting to protect her (something Amanda Seyfried even notices). Billy begins to resemble the manipulative husband in Vertigo, while Seyfried's impersonation of Liz introduces another layer of uncertainty about who the "real" woman actually is.

Even the music when Nathan gets close to Liz or thinks about her sounds strikingly reminiscent of the love theme from Vertigo.

In both films, a man believes he's investigating a woman, only to become so emotionally invested that he loses sight of how he's being manipulated.
