First Big Sale Haul in a Long Time

I cannot remember the last time I really got myself a nice haul of movies. Also, shout-out to Jen from BnN. She was as big on movies and Criterion as we all are. I asked if she could look up Exotica and Z, knew exactly what they were and agreed they were amazing movies. She's cool.

***What is the first movie you plan to watch from your purchase and why?***

The first thing I am watching is Body Heat. It's a great noir, and I am really excited I got the upgrade. It also fits cuz it is summertime in Florida, so it is *H O T*

***Is there anything from this haul that you have been looking forward to owning for a long time?***

I wanted to own Pee-Wee's Big Adventure for a while now. I hadn't seen it in so long, and while I don't have many memories of watching the show, Pee-Wee is always reliable for a laugh. When Criterion announced it, I kinda lost my mind lol

***Are any of your purchases blind buys? If so, why did you select them?***

The only true blind buy was It Was Just an Accident. I have been wanting to watch more Jafar Panahi, and more Iranian cinema in general. Plus, I just could not ignore the acclaim this got last year.

***What is a Criterion you're hoping to add to your collection next?***

Exotica was the big one that got away this time around. I have been craving a rewatch something fierce. I also have my eyes dead set on the 4K for Point Blank.
