#Criterion

Hello Criterion. I’ve recently published a book about A24. What I found when writing is that Criterion comes up a lot! Many of the directors are Criterion fans, starting with Barry Jenkins who essentially incorporated the “film school in a box” education…

Hello! The mods graciously gave me permission to share this. I’m writing a free Substack covering Ingrid Bergman’s filmography in chronological order—from her earliest Swedish films to her final screen appearances.…

Pick this one up yesterday. I was out of town ("vacation") and saw that the actress, Ezter Balint would be in town for a few days for a screening and two performances. Luckily the one B&N by my hotel had it as it said none in my home area did.…

Took advantage of the B&N 50% sale. Only thing I grabbed off Amazon was Network and Harakiri (also got the same sale going). First film I plan on watching is Videodrome, my brother is down to watch it with me.…

THIS IS NOT A CRITERION HAUL! I've collected these over the course of the past few years, but I just barely decided tonight to give the discs from my at-home Criterion Collection a shelf of their own!…

-Harakiri (1962) Blu-Ray -A Man and a Woman (1966) Blu-Ray -The Learning Tree (1969) Blu-Ray -The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) Blu-Ray -The Gunfighter (1950) Blu-Ray -The Player (1992) Blu-Ray -Charade (1963) 4K -The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001) 4K…

So excited to watch these! Thanks, Criterion! 💸 1: Sorcerer is first because I’ve never seen it and it sounds like a hoot. 2: I’ve been looking forward to owning Double Indemnity for a long time. I always need a copy. Can’t wait to see it in 4K UHD.…

I do sometimes binge watch films. But watching more than “one of the GREATS” a day can be a bit hard for me to digest. Really great films stay on my mind for days, weeks and sometimes months.…

It took me a bit to get into the vibe of this movie. But Lav Diaz is brilliant. Once I realized that every shot was a static camera angle, in the spirit of Ozu, this film really drew me in. It's minimalist, no score and mainly wide angle shots.…

Cashier said “I’m not a criterion guy. I never know any of the movies people buy. Do you buy a lot of them? Which of these do you suggest?” I took a solid minute to think and I suggested The Night Of The Hunter 😂 I didn’t wanna freak the guy out…

Announced the same day my copy of the elephant man arrived 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🫍🧿😭😭 All blind buys, gonna go through them chronologically. edit: mispoke, eraserhead isn't a blindbuy submitted by /u/Queasy-Condition-233 [link] [comments]

A sweeping two-part film that has the power of a Godfather-type epic saga sprawling multiple generations. Let alone the fact that 50% of the movie could be French provincial paintings (the 4K shines), the story is even better.…

⁠⁠What is the first movie you plan to watch from your purchase and why? “Lenny” because Bob Fosse absolutely floored me with “All That Jazz”. ⁠⁠Is there anything from this purchase that you have been looking forward to owning for a long time?…

I’m looking for recommendations of films about individual entering strange or surreal places. Probably the only one I can think of is maybe Being John Malkovich but please give me your thoughts!…

Curious, if anyone here had some good recommendations? submitted by /u/jmmj267458 [link] [comments]

I picked up the criterion release for these films last November, but never got around to watching either until this week. I personally significantly preferred The Emigrants to The New Land; I would reccomend reading my Letterboxd reviews for both films…

Makes a perfect July 4th double feature with King Vidor’s The Crowd. You don’t need to buy No Country for Old Men during the sale, you need to buy this. submitted by /u/No-Necessary7448 [link] [comments]

⁠What is the first movie you plan to watch from your haul and why? Watching it now, “Withnail & I” but also already watched “This is Spinal Tap.” ⁠Is there anything from this haul that you have been looking forward to owning for a long time?…

I am trying to decide if I should get the 4k of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, or if I should get Three Fantastic Journeys by Karel Zeman which includes The Fabulous Baron Munchausen. I have not seen either movie.…

Looking for some solid summer films. Any genre, period welcome. submitted by /u/dumpsterbaby_ [link] [comments]
