Pre-ordered Mary Poppins UK Blu-ray for £11 list price (then reduced because I don't pay VAT), so my preorders currently stand at:
Nosferatu (1922)
Mary Poppins (1964)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy:
- Shaun of the Dead (2004)
- Hot Fuzz (2007)
- The World's End (2013)
Don't know if you have seen the 1978 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" but ... i really enjoyed it. And "Word's End" ... have you seen that yet. It was ... odd .. but really loved it. Can't wait until it comes out on Blu-Ray in 3 weeks or so.
I've seen everything listed above already. However, I remember not being overly taken with
Nosferatu at the time, but am giving it a second go, hoping the combination of the reconstructed restoration and my being a bit older change my opinion (I didn't like
Metropolis the first time, but now love the reconstructed version).
As for the two movies that you mention
I think I'll have to rewatch them in close succession or even back-to-back so I can see the full greatness of the homage/parody.
Also, I canceled & redid my order for the three that release on the same date into a single order to save a bit on shipping (only 4p difference in prices overall on the three (I did my homework first) from when I initially ordered.
