I saw Strange Days in the theaters in 1995 back when I was teenage raver, and it has been one of my all-time favorite movies ever since. I have shown it to so many people in my life, none of whom appreciate it as much as I do (and most of them actively dislike it for various reasons). C'est la vie. Maybe it was a "you had to be there" kind of thing. I owned the VHS and then upgraded to DVD when it was still available in print. I have actively emailed and reached out to various blu-ray imprints (Criterion, Arrow, etc) BEGGING them to do an extras-filled special edition of this, but no-go. I would seriously pay like a hundred dollars for a new, updated, special edition of Strange Days. I know it was a huge commercial flop when it came out, but it seems to be a huge cult classic now, and I'm not sure why no one will capitalize on that, unless the rights are just impossible to get for some reason. But it's also not like Bigelow and James freaking Cameron aren't huge names. And Bassett and Fiennes and Lewis, etc. I don't know. I'm obsessed with it and still watch it every couple of years or so. I'm glad you mentioned it. Idon't know why it doesn't get more love.
Run Lola Run has been on my low key radar for decades now, mostly because I would often see the soundtrack CD in the used bins and be intrigued by that image on the cover, and later when I discovered it starred Franka Potente. This feels like my final reminder to just go ahead and watch it already.

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. I am with you in hoping that it one day gets the release package it deserves.
