Criterion Thread

I rented the Criterion DVD of My Own Private Idaho this weekend. It was excellent. They had a separate DVD with deleted scenes and interviews. I am definitley interested in buying some in the future.

Excellent👆 . They're expensive but worth it. I would recommend trying Borders books, or Amazon.com for pretty good prices on Criterion titles.

I'm hoping to buy Eyes Without a Face this weekend. 😄

Hoop Dreams criterion collection. Can't wait.👆

Has anybody bought any Criterions lately?

I haven't been able to as all my money is going to music right now, as I need to stock up for my trip to Europe. Hopefully, I'll be able to start buying Criterions when I get back as there have been some great releases.

Anyways, Lord of the Flies is getting Criterion treatment.

That cover is ****ing awesome!

I bought some, but not for myself, lol.

Armageddon, The Seventh Seal, Haxon, The Lady Vanishes, and Blood for Dracula all for $30, used. Made a nifty profit. ✅

Ooo The Seventh Seal, and The Lady Vanishes, nice films.

Traffic isn't that rare on Criterion Edition. I was going to get it but then remembered I felt ill from the camera work, so would hardly ever watch it.

So far I have:

Eyes Without A Face
3 Women

There are lots that I would like, some of them are:

Diabolique
Insomnia
Solaris
The Red Shoes
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Kagemusha (most Akira Kurosawa in CE)
Le Circle Rouge
Short Cuts
The Third Man
Wages of Fear
Youth of the Beast
The Lady Vanishes
Tout Va Bien

and more, found all the ones I want on one site, but too expensive to get a load.

Looking forward to Seppuku (Harakiri) Criterion Edition. Another great classic of the Samurai Cinema genre. 😄

Oo yeah heard about that, out in August, so not long to wait. The front cover of the dvd is rather fabulous for the film.

Have not seen the film myself, but gather it's rather good.

Love Criterion and what they do for classic films. So far I own these:

Au hasard Balthazar
Branded To Kill
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Hard Boiled OOP
The Hidden Fortress
Hoop Dreams
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Special Edition Two-Disc Set
Sanjuro
Seven Samurai
Straw Dogs OOP
Stray Dog
The Sword Of Doom
Wild Strawberries
Yojimbo

I hope to add
The Seventh Seal
Rashomon
Eyes Without A Face
Gimme Shelter
High And Low
The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
Tokyo Drifter

along with many others.

Once again Criterion is helping to get more Samurai films into DVD. Look forward to these classics of the genre coming this fall!

Samurai Rebellion
Sword of the Beast
Samurai Spy

And Kihachi Okamoto's classic samurai film Kiru (Kill)

^ Yes! I was debating whether I should buy the boxset, or just Samurai Rebellion and Kill!.

One thing is for sure... I'll be getting Le Samouraï 😄

Everybody should check out the F for Fake Criterion. It is a great Orson Welles film. Right up there with Citizen Kane for me.

Also Man Bites Dog. Criterion has done better in the feature department but $30 is worth it for one of the most amazing movie experiences you'll ever have.

I have been wanting to replace my video with the dvd of the film, didn't realise it was on Criterion Edition, will look into that.

Since I last posted in here I have got a little collection of Criterions going, have about 20 of the dvds at the moment, but lots and lots I would like on Criterion Edition. So prettyyyyyy. My favourite out of the lot is The Lady Vanishes, glad to have the film on Criterion.

Heads up Everyone!

Criterion will be re-releasing Traffic on a 2 disc DVD.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E1OI7G/002-1585646-0312003?n=130

$40? No way.

What they need to do is re-release Salo. Big money waiting there.

Traffic 2 disc Criterion looks interesting, $31 some places.

DVD Empire has it for $27.87. I'm getting a copy today. But might pay extra...don't want to order it online.

I have The Life Aquatic Criterion Edition, monster good extras. Got it for £7 or $3.75

ANchor Bay Dvd's aint too bad either

I only got the 1 disc criterion edition of Life Aquatic, worth getting the 2 disc version because I adore the film.
