Criterion always gives the best tranfer and audio, plus the extras on them are terrific, especially the audio comenteries.

Great thread! Yes! I'm also very pleased with the quality that the ppl at the criterion collection have been putting into their DVD's. The only mistake they've done so far was armageddon. I really don't see why the need for a criterion edition. Is a film rather dull and not very original IMO.

Mildpossesion>Criterion began with a mission to pull the treasures of world cinema out of the film vaults and put them in the hands of collectors.

I own these titles:

The Rock
Naked Lunch
The Testament of Dr. Mabuse
Spartacus
Brazil
The Samurai collection
Akira Kurosawa samurai collection
The Royal Tenenbaums
M
Ikiru
The Killer
Kwaidan
Man bites dog
Rashomon
Ali: Fears eat the soul

I will soon be getting these future releases:

Videodrome
The Battle for Algiers
M (2004 re-release new edition)
Eyes without a face
Shadows

Rare, and wanted list:

Salo
Robocop
Traffic
Dead Ringers
Hard Boiled

Nice, I'm trying to hold off buying the old M with the new version in the works. From what Ive read Videodrome sounds very interesting and I also hope to get Slacker when it comes out. The armageddon deal is mostly for criterion to make money on the mainstream market since most of their films aren't for mainstream movie fans. Hear's the criterions I hope to get that are already out.

Ikiru
8 1/2
Eisenstein: The sound years box seat with Ivan the Terrible I and II and Alexander Nevsky
Spartacus
Notorious
The Leopard
Brazil

I got it yesterday and I'm extremely happy with what CC did with DVD. It includes a couple of essays on the movie, and two documentaries. Is just superb! I highly recomend this one! David Cronenberg is a genious! thumb up

I woudnt go as far as to call Cronenberg a genius - but he's an underrated director.

For me David has a great record of horror/sci-fi movies. I see him as a genious for combining two genres and delivering memorable movies. But going back to the topic of Criterion Collection.....

....anyone reads the essays of the films from the website? I recommend them they go perfectly together with the DVD's. I highly sugest ppl read them. Is more an insight into the films.

I am so going to have to obtain some of these dvds, I was thinking of getting 8½ because I have yet to get this brilliant film on dvd. So might start with that on Criterion.

Aww didn't know M has been released on this, just got it on 2 disc dvd a few months ago.

Will be checking out those essays WindDancer!!

Also a big fan of Cronenberg films. Ahh The Brood.

I have dario to thank for telling me that The Adventures of Antoine Doinel was released. hat/tip.

If anyone has any other hints (such as the 2 disk M being better than the criterion release - more info please!) then lets make use of this thread. We could even start an arts movie thread! Faint!
