Manhattan
Boutique labels and distributors craft premium editions of films on physical media, elevating the home viewing experience with meticulous attention to detail. These releases shine through superior picture and sound quality, stunning packaging, and a wealth of extras, including alternate film cuts, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and collectible booklets packed with essays, interviews, and expert commentary.
Renowned boutique labels like The Criterion Collection, Eureka! Masters of Cinema, and Indicator set the standard for cinephiles. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s alongside the VHS boom, distributors have since evolved to champion Blu-ray and 4K UHD formats.

DATABASE SEARCH
DATABASE SEARCH GUIDE
The relation between the filters you can choose from above is “AND” – not “OR“. This allows you to make your search query as detailed as possible.
Example: when you select Director=”Sidney Lumet”, Genre=”Drama”, Film Theme I=”DRAMA THEMES_Courtroom/Legal” and hit the search button without selecting other filters, the search results will show you drama films directed by Sidney Lumet that fit the Courtroom/Legal theme of that specific genre. It will not show you other films directed by Sidney Lumet that do not fit those filters, nor will it show you courtroom drama’s directed by someone else. The more filters you select, the narrower your search, the fewer results you will get.
Please note all film themes are custom made by me, so there is a lot of flexibility involved when assigning films to a specific theme. Not all films have been assigned to a film theme or the other filters – this is a slow, time-consuming work in continuous progress.
All combined I have a total of 2582 movies in my film library, regrouped in 1422 collections and 44 genres.
