Paris, Texas(1984)

8.1/10

S-Tier

S-Tier Curzon Film 4K. Wim Wenders' film about a man wandering out of a Texas desert. The Criterion 4K generated huge excitement just from people posting about seeing it in a theater. The Curzon encoding is slightly better than Criterion's, but both look great. People watched this for the first time and couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Breaking Bad fans keep spotting the influence.

Wings of Desire(1987)

7.8/10

dir. Wim Wenders

S-Tier

Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.
