I'm going to go a little out of the box and suggest an entire company. Vinegar Syndrome.
They're doing the work that Criterion does, only on Grindhouse features no one has heard of. A tough sell even to the cultist, most of their releases are porno chic. Many of the films are bafflingly inept. All of them are interesting to watch. There is a passion in these releases, an Ed Wood Jr. type reach for something more, even on such wonk title like JUNGLE BLUE that tries to mix a Tarzan plot with stock wildlife footage and hardcore porn and failing at all.
Yup, I love me my Vinegar Syndrome discs. they have some titles available for free download on their site, if you're feeling adventurous.
PROS:
You've never seen movies like this before. Lost and forgotten, and restored to the best they can be.
Value. If the elements are in too rough of shape to harvest a good blu-ray, they tend to put them out as double features that still look great. They're blurays have all been outstanding.
CONS:
These are z-grade titles. They're cheap, some are slow, some are flat out inept, a bunch are hardcore porn. If you're easily offended, than they are not for you.
