I own about 25 PA editions
We can do this! Let's have a PLAIN ARCHIVE discussion thread.
@Bluprint
Thanks for making the thread!!
I have several hundred films, around 150 steels and I think around 25-30 films form the movie kings in Korea, but as for my humble collection, here's the pic I posted on The Master steelbook thread a couple of days ago...

September 6th 2014, and it was the Melancholia standard edition. Possibly my favourite so far as the slip is just simply gorgeous!
The one film in which I could die happy if they do is the utterly brilliant Beasts of the Southern Wild!!! But apart form that, I just really want their edition of Holy Motors to come out soon, that is a great film.
My latest edition was The Master keepcase, however I do have the lenticular enroute, I would like to get the fullslip at some point, but I do need to budget for when Rust and Bone comes out at the end of week. Can't wait for that one!!
As for how many I own, I think it is 13, give or take...
(I'm posting a question for the thread, just give me 5 to type it...)

- The PLAIN ARCHIVE LIST & DISCUSSION
- 4th May 2014
- 12 Years A Slave & The Intouchables (2011) to carry on the French theme.
- Just received the wrestler keep case edition & 1/4 slip edition to fully complete the Plain collection. I also have the triple pack for the master coming!
- I own all 15 (I believe) versions of numbered Plain Archive exclusives. The only thing I really want is the DVDPRIME Melancholia, didn't start collecting until that was sold out.
Bring on Friday and the two versions of Rust & Bone I'll be buying and next months Zero Dark Thirty, I love Plain Archive!!
My first purchase: The Wrestler full and 1/4 slip (Jan 18, 2014)
Next film: Inherent Vice or I Heart Huckabees (needs a blu-ray release anyway)
Latest PA: Housemaid (Plain Selective), The Master double pack in transit
How many: I think i own 9-10 between PA and Selective releases
(Haven't double dipped except for Wrestler and Master releases)
And I also have that beautiful Melancholia poster (w/ the DVDPrime cover) - need to get it framed and up on a wall soon!

Now for my question:
Basically, which edition is you favourite?
Don't base your answer on your favourite film, base it on your favorite release/variant.
Below is the list of all the releases they have done (please tell me if I have missed one!!), with all the variants.
To vote, re-post the list below and update the number of your choice by +1.
I saw this type of voting on another thread a while back, so i can't take credit for it.
Any questions, or if you want me to clarify, please say so.
P.s, I've voted.
P.p.s I'm going to leave out the Drive releases.

My first PA exclusive purchase was The Wrestler and fell in love with its quality and attention to detail. And their exclusives since then have been top notch.
PA is in a class all by themselves in regards to product quality and customer service/awareness.

In my PlainArchive collection I currently have 4 PlainArchive editions and hopefully two more very soon:
- #001: Melancholia (1 full slip - amaray).
- #002: The Wrestler (1 full slip - steelbook).
- #004: La vie d'Adèle (1 full slip - amaray).
- #005: I Saw the Devil (1 full slip - steelbook).
I have on pre-order:
- #006: The Wrestler (1 lenticular full slip - steelbook).
And in 76 hours I will have on pre-order:
- #008: De rouille et d'os (1 full slip - not sure which one yet! - amaray).
As for suggestions on possible Plain Archive releases, two words: Wes Anderson!
I would be in heaven if Plain Archive were to release any (hopefully all) of Wes Anderson's films: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel. I would buy them all in a split second, and I would even buy multiple editions - which is something I've done once or twice only.
Wes Anderson's films are like Plain Archive: they're thoughtful, visually impressive, quirky and colorful, and they have an incredible dedication to details and they're very pleasing each time.
I'm also looking forward to Ernest & Célestine. PA announced it a while ago and I can't wait to see it come to fruition!
And after that one, La vie d'Adèle, De rouille et d'os and soon Holy Motors, I'd love some more French films, but obviously PA are not catering only to French customers so it would have to have international appeal as well... maybe Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Delicatessen, City of the Lost Children or A Very Long Engagement? (Kimchi having done a great job on Amélie Poulain already)

I only have one Plain Archive Ed (Blue is the Warmest Color), but looking forward to ZDT FTW! +1
I would second that...any Wes Anderson film would do me, but if Plain did them all I would be in dream land
My PLAINiversary is: December 31. 2013 #1016 "Melancholia DVDPrime"
What PLAIN should do next: Their first technical horror film, "The Babadook"
My Latest PLAIN edition is: a ultra rare Plain "Selective" (or a title PLAIN helped to design) entitled, "Wolf Children"
How many PLAIN editions do you own: Officially, in my possession, I have "21" editions! With Many More on the Way!
@William My Favorite PLAIN edition EVER is: The Wrestler "Amaray" Slipcase
@teddyjun @hyunhujang @spass please chime in!

It would be cool, but there are already some cool Criterion versions out there. I think something totally different should be the next approach.
What's your PLAINiversary?
My first purchase was in early 2014 - Melancholia and The Wrestler combo pack
What Films Should PLAIN ARCHIVE do next?
City of God (Cidade de Deus) - This film deserves the Plain Archive treatment!
Your Latest PLAIN ARCHIVE edition?
I am Love (Plain Archive Selective)
How many PLAIN ARCHIVE editions do you own?
Over 20 titles, but half of my collection is in storage because i'm running out of room at the moment.
@William My Favorite PLAIN edition EVER is?
Hard one, but my favorite has to be my Kim Jee-woon autograph and ISTD PET Full slip
Thanks to @teddyjun and @Bluprint for showing me the PLAIN way!
