It's movie weekend for me.  Barnes and Noble has a 50% off sale on Criterion so I came home with a grab bag of goodies.  What to watch first?   :dreamer:

Snowflake that I am,  a few of those aren't on my watchlist, but I'm a sucker for a western and I believe the remake of 3:10 is a decent watch

[Gusington]

Yeah the newer 3:10 to Yuma is supposed to be very good.

The 3:10 to Yuma remake is an OK action film with wild west window-dressing, but it really doesn't have anything on the original IMO.  I watched the original for the first time tonight and it's a master-class in "calm before the storm" dread.  A good chunk of the movie is just the good guys slowly breaking down under pressure while they wait for the train to come along.  Only a few people die through the course of the film, but it's more about the build-up and the character drama than the action itself (which is still very good by '50s standards, though dated by today's).

Throne of Blood is an excellent Macbeth-gone-samurai adaptation by the legendary director Akira Kurosawa, starring the equally legendary Toshiro Mifune in his archetypical badass samurai role.  The awesome visuals and insane stunts near the end make it well worth sitting through yet another telling of a tired old story IMO.  Basically, the crew literally fire volleys of arrows 5 feet away from Mifune's head for a late-film sequence.   :o

Videodrome is not for the faint of heart.   

Have not actually seen Notorious yet, but I've heard great things and Hitchcock was of course the master of suspense.

  Notorious is pretty good.  It's more of a character-oriented thing as the Cary Grant character realizes "I was a fathead full of pain."  BUT
Ingrid Bergman!  Yow!

The only place I see it is available for streaming is the Criterion Channel.

https://www.criterionchannel.com/come-and-see

Subscription required, but I believe they have a free trial.

edit... oops, missed page 2 before I replied.  Oh well, at least you know the video quality will be good with the Criterion option.

^Thanks man. I will be watching Come and See very soon.
