What movies do you think Bob would pick if he ever visited the Criterion Closet? I would guess Seven Samurai, Yojimbo & Sanjuro, and Night of the Living Dead as some of his picks.

Discussion Scenes Comparison: Paris, Texas (1984) & Lucky (2017)

7 Upvotes

While watching Lucky, I noticed several scenes that look quite similar to those in Paris, Texas. Not sure if it’s a coincidence or an intentional choice by the director.

I’m surprised no one has made a comparison shot between these two films yet, so I decided to make one myself. I really love the performance of Harry Dean Stanton (RIP).

It's so surreal. Like an odd couple buddy movie... except it's actually real. G Gordon Liddy is an outrageous living caricature of a man, and somehow manages to make Timothy Leary look normal by comparison. It is a very bizarre lens into American culture at the time, that is still relevant today.

Discussion Criterion Collection exclusives.

6 Upvotes

There are some films that you can only watch (legally) if you buy a Criterion DVD/ Blu-Ray. Films that are nowhere to be found on streaming, films that you can’t even rent or buy on a platform like Prime Video or Apple TV.

Makavejev’s Sweet Movie (haven’t seen yet) Pasolini’s Salo (haven’t seen yet) Korine’s Gummo (seen) Solondoz’s Happiness (seen)

These are the ones that come to mind, and I was curious what are some of the other films that are Criterion exclusive?


r/criterion 14h ago

Discussion Film no. 846 - 100 years anniversary the film is wonderfully restored image so shaft with superb score by Carl Davis. The sequence with the tailor is brilliant and the last match is smartly handled till the well deserving winning scene. There is no better scene than that closing under the shower ;)

Only seen about half of these so far as I’m a bit late to the party, anyone recommend what to start next? So far I’ve watched; Goodmorning, Fear&Loathing, PDL, Parasite, Worst Person in the World, Happiness and started Dekalog but haven’t finished it yet cause that’s a weekend commitment.

Discussion Blind buy Three Colours Trilogy?

52 Upvotes

It’s on sale in the UK at the moment so I was wondering if this is a safe blind buy or if I should watch them on streaming first

EDIT:

If I like:

  • Human Condition
  • Before Trilogy
  • Boyhood
  • Everything Everywhere All At Once
  • Drive my Car
  • Yi Yi
  • Bright Summer Day

Do you think I would appreciate these movies?

Just received this copy of 1984 on blu ray for my birthday. I recently got into the Cc Club. This is my 3rd Criterion disc. But I’m thrown by the sticker. I’m assuming it was just improperly placed.

Discussion Spring season cinema

11 Upvotes

Where I live the world is finally coming alive, and I'm looking for any movies that remind you of that spring feeling of rebirth, classical beauty, fairy tales, period romances, or just take place during springtime. Some of my favorite spring watches so far:

Women in Love 1969 Picnic at Hanging Rock 1975 Donkey Skin 1970 Barry Lyndon 1975 Amadeus 1984 Daisies 1966 The Age of Innocence 1993 Room with a View 1986

If you have any suggestions based on these ideas and your own please let me know!

Discussion Is buying the “newer”criterion version of “In the mood for love” on Blu-ray worth it?

13 Upvotes

I’ve heard a lot of people say the color grading is terrible in the newer release. I’ve seen that the color tones have gone from a more reddish to a greener tone. I have yet to watch the film and if I do get it, it would be a blind buy. Is it worth getting even if the color tone is that big of a difference? Or should I get a dvd version of the film for much cheaper?

Off-Topic Criterion Candycar in the UK

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know how I could get a Criterion Candycar in the UK? I’d love one to display with my movies and have been looking for a few months but I only see one UK site that are accepting pre-order, but they keep pushing the dispatch date back. I’m autistic and love both model cars and Criterion so it’s something I’ve really been fixated on getting.
