Movie Acquisition Madness

I spent approximately too much money thanks to online retailers being jerks and putting things that are normally really expensive on sale so they were only mildly expensive and making releases that are normally reasonable dirt cheap. The good news is I will have a lot of movies to watch in the next few months. Here's what I scored so you can laugh at me when I talk about how they're still in plastic wrap a year from now.
  • 9 (that's the animated movie, not the musical "Nine")
  • Barry Lyndon
  • Being There
  • Captain America
  • Die Nibelungen (this is two movies)
  • The Double Life of Veronique
  • Excalibur
  • Faust (F.W. Murnau) 
  • Les Vampires (not a movie about lesbian vampires, but a French serial about a crime syndicate. 10 installments for a 400 minute total runtime) 
  • Quo Vadis
  • Scarlet Street 
  • Way Down East 
  • When Horror Came to Shochiku (Eclipse Boxset, four movies)

A truly excellent job by me choosing several silent and foreign movies to ensure that I will be too tired after work most nights to watch.
