I've seen a few of these. You're in for some real treats with a lot of them. Nice choices--really varied and eclectic, which is always a great way to go.
I always like to keep things interesting and eclectic.
For the record, Altered States is up to the standard of Ken Russell's normal insanity (It's not The Devils, but it's close). Network is my pick for Best Picture of 1976.
The Devils (in its uncut version) is the film of Ken Russell that I want to see the most but it is largely unavailable to the public unless you want to go to certain places on the web.
A great, eclectic list! I have not seen any of these, though I've been wanting to see Network by Sidney Lumet for ages. I'm also curious about The Wind Will Carry Us by Abbas Kiarostami. Best of luck w/ your Blind Spot challenge!
Network I learned is coming to Criterion on 4K UHD/Blu-Ray next year as I hope to watch it in July as it feels so timely considering what is happening right now.
