Den was the winner of this month's draw and they submitted these two movies for a poll! I haven't heard of either of them before. This poll will only be open until end of day Monday. Happy Voting! 🥰

PS. I've decided that moving forward I will start including an image of the poll options for all polls so that free members and public viewers of my Patreon page can view what members are voting on. I really wish that Patreon had a way to make the poll itself visible to everyone, but you have to be paid to cast a vote. Perhaps one day...

Got to go with Thief on this one, great choices Den!

I also haven't heard of either of these, so which ever wins, I'll be excited to see! Got a lot of catching up to do this month as well since my Halloween schedule filled up all my time.

Both look good. I go with Thief because Michael Mann.

You haven't heard of either of these? You're in for a treat with both of them. Thief is Michael Mann's theatrical debut feature and Walter Hill's The Driver heavily influenced Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive (2011).

Note there are multiple cuts of Thief. In this case, I'll cut to the chase and say the one you want to get is the 2015 director's cut, purely for availability/accessibility reasons -- Mann is one of those directors, like George Lucas, who essentially stops supporting the original cuts once he's made a new one; the theatrical is only accessible on a UK release, both versions of which may be out of print, and the earlier director's cut was only ever released on DVD. The 2015 cut runs 2h4m41s.

I feel bad for The Driver, which is a great, cool movie...but it being shut out in comparison to Thief is no surprise.

Vincent Hollow

Oh I have no doubt I'll be in for a good time. I am still very much a child of cinema 👶📽

Haven't heard of either also. The Driver is filmed in some very familiar locations to me especially that era. The Thief looks right up my alley. Well they both do actually. Oh I'm so excited for either.

Thank you for the heads up! I just checked and my library has the 2015 Blu-ray.
