It Happened Here (1965) Blu-Ray BFI

It Happened Here 1965
A chilling vision of what might have been had Germany conquered England during World War II, Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo's It Happened Here (1966) is also a remarkable accomplishment in independent filmmaking.

The occupation of England is seen through the eyes of Pauline (Pauline Murray), a country nurse fleeing the fighting that has broken out between German troops and resistance partisans. Using Ireland as a base, the Americans and 'loyalist' English guerillas are attempting to re-invade from the West. Pauline witnesses a massacre of civilians. Believeing that the partisans were responsible, she decides like the majority of her countrymen that getting things back to normal is more important than patriotism. "After all," she sighs, "We did lose the war."

Hard to Be a God / Trudno byt bogom / Трудно быть Богом (2013) DVD9, Blu-Ray

Posted In: .Russian movies, Drama, Fantasy

Trudno byt bogom 2013
A group of scientists travel from Earth to study a planet and its inhabitants. The planet is nearly identical to Earth except that the people living on this planet are behind, both culturally and technologically, Earth by around 800 years. On this planet a movement similar to the Renaissance has been suppressed, with anyone considered to be an intellectual brutally murdered and, as a result, the people are still living in the Dark Ages. One of the scientists is assigned to infiltrate the populace, disguised as a nobleman named Don Rumata, though he is under strict rules not to interfere in the politics of the society or engage in any kind of violence towards the people.

Legendary Russian sci-fi authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose Roadside Picnic was filmed as Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky) wrote the source novel, and adapting it was director Aleksei German s dream project for decades. It would take six years of shooting, a further six of post-production and a posthumous premiere before his masterpiece was finally unveiled.

But masterpiece it is: a visually astonishing, almost tactile recreation of an unnervingly recognisable alternative universe, drenched in blood, mud and the tears of the oppressed.

Heaven Can Wait 1943
Henry Van Cleve (Don Ameche) comes from a wealthy New York family and has enjoyed a privileged life, which comes to an end the day after his 70th birthday. Henry presents himself at an antechamber to Hell, where he’s greeted by the Devil himself (Laird Cregar), whom Henry addresses as Your Excellency. Although Henry assumes he’s headed downstairs because of his many indiscretions while alive, His Excellency decides to review his case, and invites Henry to recall his life in detail. This Henry does by relating the significant incidents of his time on earth to those women who played the most important parts in his life. There then follows a series of lengthy flashbacks tracing Henry’s life from the cradle to his deathbed.

Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thriller

A Boy and His Dog 1975
The plot of this film is set in Arizona in the year 2024 A.D. The world had been devastated by nuclear war seventeen years ago, and the surface of the Earth is turned into desert, roamed by various drifters in search of food, drink and shelter. One of them is Vic (played by a very young and rosy-cheeked Don Johnson), eighteen-year-old boy whose only companion is Blood (voice by Tim McIntire), dog with whom he has telepathic connection. Blood's instincts, wisdom, knowledge experience help Vic in his everyday search for food, but so far Vic can't find the only thing on his mind - a girl. Finally, two of them stumble on a girl in the form of young Quilla June Holmes (played by Susan Benton) and rescue her from homicidal rapists and mutants. After a night of passionate love Quilla disappears and Vic, against Blood's better judgement, goes looking for her in the underground, where some remnants of civilisation survived and turned into grotesque version of ultraconservative America...

Trailer Trauma 2016
Why bother whiling away an afternoon watching one or two grindhouse flicks when, in the space of a couple hours and change, you can gawk at hordes of flesh-eating mummies, a gaggle of Santa Clauses getting savagely butchered, a bunch of mobsters skewered by a power drill, undead kids who can melt their parents with a touch, a horned demon rocking a pair of sais, and a cyborg warrior on tank treads? Where else can you see Mr. T, Jean Seberg, Klaus Kinski, James Mason, Jean Claude Van Damme, Smokey Robinson, Harvey Keitel, and Edwige Fenech brought together for the first time? TRAILER TRAUMA delivers all the gruesome, sticky, sleazy, and unrepentantly batshit insane highlights from dozens of drive-in flicks.

There are other movie preview compilation discs out there, but only TRAILER TRAUMA contains the ultra-rare titles that you absolutely will not find anywhere else. Prepare yourselves, connoisseurs of cult cinema: TRAILER TRAUMA is going to hurt... but it hurts so good!

Tresors du cinema Yiddish
Témoignage d’un monde disparu, le cinéma yiddish représente un patrimoine artistique et historique exceptionnel. Lobster Films propose un coffret DVD comprenant 4 films emblématiques du cinéma yiddish en version restaurée : Mir Kumen On / Nous arrivons (1936), Dybuk / Le Dibbouk (1937), Tevya the Milkman / Tevye le laitier (1939) et Lang iz der Weg / La Route est longue (1949).

Nous les avons restauré pour faire revivre les images, et entendre à nouveau les mots, les sons et les ambiances d'un monde qui a perdu sa voix. Dans ces témoignages précieux, certains reconnaîtront des images d'enfance, des liens avec des origines racontées, des éclats de vie où sourient ceux que l'on a pas connus. Ces films sont un voyage dans le temps, souvent produits avec des moyens modestes et dans des conditions terribles... mais ils sont là. Simples. Sincères. Quatre grands films, quelques courts métrages invisibles et des rires d'enfants. Un tout petit moment d'éternité, tout simplement.

The Princess Bride (1987) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance

The Princess Bride 1987
A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay.
A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook — which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic.

Worlds on Film: Beyond Genres volume 5: Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1989) Blu-Ray Umbrella Entertainment

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds 1989
A candle-lit hut in the Australian middle of nowhere acts as a home for a couple of siblings, Betty (Melissa Davis) and Felix (Michael Lake), raised by the Christian fundamentalist father who bequeathed them with countless crucifixes of all kinds and sizes hanging around as the only pieces of bric-a-brac. Combined with the aftermath of an unspecified cataclysmic event, the heritage has taken its toll on the flighty sister, whereas the disabled brother clings to the sole non-religious book they have - The Birth of Flight. His passion for aviation (that rendered him cripple) turns into obsession after the arrival of an enigmatic stranger, Smith (Norman Boyd), who intends to cross over the mountains to the north, even if he has to fly. Much to Betty's disapproval rooted in the belief that the interloper is a demon, the two men begin to work on a contraption that will help them overcome the dire situation.

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) 2 x DVD RUSCICO, Blu-Ray Artificial Eye, 2 x DVD and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) DVD9 + DVD5 RUSCICO
Andrei Tarkovsky was a Russian director who made slow paced, hypnotic films filled with beautiful images and thought provoking themes. His masterpiece is Stalker, one of the most gorgeous and entrancing films ever made. This is really a film that defies description. A science fiction film, a philosophical drama, and a metaphoric excursion, Stalker is all of this and yet so much more. A film that is more experienced than just viewed, this is a must-see for anyone interested in film as an art. Based on the novel The Roadside Picnic (1972) by Arkadi & Boris Strugatsky.

Something happened. Maybe it was aliens landing. Or maybe it was a meteor strike. But something happened and The Zone was created, an area where things don't work as you'd expect them to, where the laws of physics are out of whack. People started disappearing in The Zone and so the government sent in the army to investigate. They were never heard from again. Ever since that time The Zone has been cordoned off with sever penalties for going into it.
People still go into The Zone however, mainly because of The Room. In the center of The Zone, as the story goes, there is The Room which will grant those who enter it their deepest wish. To get to this miraculous place is impossible without an experienced guide, known as a stalker. As the movie begins a famous author, burned out and cynical, and a scientist, quiet but rebellious, (who are known only as Writer and Professor throughout the film) hire Stalker to lead them through the dangers of The Zone. Each of them have their own reasons for going, including Stalker himself, and their journey isn't without peril and danger. Along the way this trio is forced to look at themselves and each other and examine their hopes, dreams, and beliefs. What is worth risking your life for?

The series speculated on such things as visitors from other planets, UFO incidents, space fight, espionage technology, and miracle drugs that could cure all ills. Stories of crackpots, who turn out to be visionaries, and eyewitnesses to the fantastic, fighting to be believed. The show also utilized experts as consultants to help keep the show within the known realm of the scientific possibilities speculated at the time.
