Joey’s Top Pick

A League of Their Own (4K)

This true-life sports dramedy is a stone-cold classic. Not just one of Tom Hanks‘ best comedic performances, this is one of filmmaker Penny Marshall‘s most crowd-pleasing efforts. Now available in 4K, A League of Their Own is a must have for your collection. It’s more or less impossible not to fall in love with this one. In 4K, it’s just all the better. So, whether you’re a fan or finally getting around to it, this is the way to see the flick.

Criterion Corner

Repo Man

From The Criterion Collection: “A quintessential cult film of the 1980s, Alex Cox’s singular sci-fi comedy stars the always captivating Harry Dean Stanton as a weathered repo man in a desolate Los Angeles, and Emilio Estevez as the nihilistic middle-class punk he takes under his wing. The job becomes more than either of them bargained for when they get involved in repossessing a mysterious —and otherworldly—Chevy Malibu with a hefty reward attached to it. Featuring the ultimate early-eighties LA punk soundtrack, this grungily hilarious odyssey is also a politically trenchant take on President Reagan’s domestic and foreign policies.”
