This seems like such a completely perfect fit for Second Run, especially with its focus on the purpose of maintaining an archive, the focus not necessarily on being if a film itself is remarkable but maintaining a diverse catalog that really reflects the variety of films made both internationally and domestically, especially focusing on those that are under-served. I bought this on a whim in the Arrow sale a few months back just to put me over a shipping threshold, and spent the intervening time wishing I'd used my money on almost any of the other titles, but I just found this exhilarating.
