When I sorted my favorite 90s movies by “least popular” on Letterboxd, THE DREAMLIFE OF ANGES came up as number one, so that would be my answer to this prompt as well. I guess people don’t really know that film anymore—hopefully someone will put it out on a new disc.

He definitely liked to work.

Sometimes you go to the thrift store and they have a rare Devo bootleg. This one was stuffed inside a minty copy of Sade’s STRONGER THAN PRIDE (I would have plenty happy to have the Sade record).

The thoroughly depraved THE LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET as an unannounced extra on the Vinegar Syndrome blu ray for CORRUPTION.
I still haven't gotten around to HERE (was vainly hoping to see it in a cinema), but GHOST TROPIC is fucking major, up there with Hong's HILL OF FREEDOM for "how is *THIS* a B-side for a release?!?".

(As an aside: what's your favourite "oh, let's slide an extra feature film on this disc" release?)
Finally, coming in March 2026, Bas Devos' HERE which will also include his previous film GHOST TROPIC. More details coming very soon...

God what an amazing career Udo Kier had.

MEGADOC is available to rent or buy digitally. Only bummer is that it’s not twice the length and doesn’t take us into the editing room. Fascinating and very entertaining film.

Stopped two seasons ago.

At thrift store and they have a ton of 90s low budget action movies on laserdisc. Not really sure how much of this I should buy. I wish they weren’t $5.99 each.
November 20, 2025 at 10:57 PM
It’s now available to rent/buy ($20/$25) today, not sure when it drops to $6.99 or whatever but probably within a month. HBO MAX probably two months.

Oh and the end of FRENCH CONNECTION II is fantastic.

Really great foot chase in BUSTING.

Since moving near Santa Monica, I have met so many rich women who rely on expensive psychics. I had no idea it was a thing.

Local thrift store has “Dear Me,” Peter Ustinov’s autobiography, here’s the section where we talks about working on LOLA MONTES and calls Max Ophüls “a German giggler who lived in his own particular stratosphere of subtlety.” Enjoy.

Top five after “Various” which was the favorite. This list will probably change a bit once I’ve finished cataloging my 7” collection.

I should trim down by King Gizzard and Segall collections a bit. Not all of those are essential.

Crazy. I have this same notecard on my computer.

ONCE WERE WARRIORS was a big one for me when I was a kid, I haven’t seen it in decades but I’m sure it still packs a wallop. I watch THE EDGE every few years, that’s a very rewatchable movie.

First one should have been for TRAINING DAY or BEFORE SUNSET? I’m good either way.
November 7, 2025 at 5:29 AM
It’s MEMORIA.
It’s also the best movie of the decade.
what’s the best movie ending of the decade so far?

I’m more worried about the actual Jim Brooks movie…

The redistricting fight was a good one to pick and he won big. Nice to see someone not just playing defense.

I know he’s not popular on here but I still mostly like Gavin Newsom. I’ll always remember how early and loud his support was for gay marriage. He was way out in front of most of the Democratic Party on that issue.

Somehow dvds always got this right. I have no idea this aspect of the technology has gotten worse.
