I have seen all of your criterion haul videos… and yet still had fun watching this collection video! I’ve added so many titles to my watchlist based on your recommendations… can’t wait to see what you guys pick up next!
Between the Criterion and Me.Excellent t-shirt..I have not been fortunate enough to see BTBAM,as i'm in the UK Little story..In 2019,i was working in a music shop in Liverpool..Dustie and Paul were meant to come into the shop,as they were playing Manchester,but for some reason they couldn't make it..I was devastated I wonder if Tommy has any Kubrick Criterion,as i know he's a massive fan I'm really jealous of how many Criterion dvd's there are in the U.S,as we have very little in the U.K Thanks for sharing all these dvd's,and i hope we get a lot more soon!
Great video, guys! Thank you for sharing your collections with us. The Criterion Collection is certainly an embarrassment of riches. I'm in awe every time I glance over at my Criterion shelf at how lucky we are to have these films in our lives. :)
Great video guys. Impressive collection and a lot of good conversation. I also liked the format in which the three of you showed off your collections together. As we all know, a lot of people show off their collections scrolling through their collections. Those videos are fine but this was a fun, different format. It added a lot of good personality to an overall engaging video.
This is it!! The video we’ve been all waiting for! What a start to the new year and as always great collection. Much love guys, we will always share together your enthusiasm and love for cinema no matter what part of the world.
Awesome video! "The Piano Player", ranked by Eric as his #1 Criterion movie, is not my favorite Haneke, but God, what a great, great watch! Eric is absolutely right about Huppert's haunting performance. She's exceptional in this movie.
This video also makes me realize how many great Criterions have never gotten bluray upgrades, the Dreyer box set, Renoir box set, Peeping Tom, Grand Illusion, Diary of a Country Priest, Trouble in Paradise, Shoot the Piano Player….
solid collection. sometimes i’m on the fence about physical media, but watching this video really reignited my desire to buy more movies. i just started my collection last week, i’m at 11.
Just have to say you guys are awesome. Just got my first 5. Eyes Without A Face, Dead Man, Eraserhead, Uncut Gems and Dr. Strangelove. Definitely one of the hardest decisions I have ever made to pick just 5 for my first CC buy. You guys gave me a lot to check out and can't wait to find my next favorite film. Just finished Barry Lyndon and is probably my favorite Criterion thus far. Second would have to be Mullholland Drive!
Great Video. I am always amazed about how many great titles are in the Criterion collection and how different people curate their own personal selections. My Collection is at like 170 total and I don't really have a lot of the same films.
I wonder if there are protective covers we could buy to keep the nicer packaging in mint condition. Like people use for comic books and vinyl records. Thank you for sharing!
It's always fun to watch your Criterion videos... You guys should expand into some region B labels as well, such as Eureka and Second Run. There are some nice titles and haul opportunities there. Also, I feel compelled to help you with this... It's pronounced Moon-gee-ooh! :)) Here's hoping Criterion will also release his comedy anthology, Tales from the Golden Age.
Oh man this is so good. You guys are the ultimate Criterion Kings 👍🏻 Still, not one of you owns a single Kobayashi film. Blasphemy😁 But the next haul is coming…
Again a very nice Video, took some inspiration out of it. You guys are missing some very good movies, check out "The bridge" 1959 and has really nobody seen "Harakiri"? Anyway keep up the great work. PS: Come and See is way better than Brazil. Greetings from germany
We have not. BUT Satyajit Ray’s THE HERO is my number one MUST BUY next month. I reviewed it last month and thought it was a masterpiece. Was planning to blind buy The Cloud Capped Star as well.
Overall, I must say that you've all made excellent choices when buying these titles. I can't say that I enjoy every single one of them, but for the most part, it's stuff that I own myself or that I want to buy. I've seen them all, though. HUGE props to the three of you for all owning Altman's 3 Women. It's a masterpiece. And shame on you for all owning Uncut Gems, which is in the bottom 5 films of all time for me. I made it through it, but it's the only film I've seen that made me physically ill it was so bad.
The Darjeeling Limited is so underrated, it's my favourite Wes Anderson film, and while it's not his best film, (Fantastic Mr Fox do be the best) it certainly is amazing. Edit: If you guys haven't, I recommend In a Lonely Place, it's a really good Humphrey Bogart film.
I think you need to do this by the language the film uses the most (or by what country produced it) rather than by where you think the director comes from, because although "Watership Down" is clearly from the UK, the director was from the United States ("American" can also include Canada and Mexico, as they are also in "North America"; the rest of the world sees us as "The United States"). A lot of Cronenberg's work is from Canada, although some of them are co-produced with other countries ("Naked Lunch" is actually a Canada - UK - Japan co-production, and "The Fly" is a Canada - US co-production). All of the films you had from "China" were actually from Hong Kong when it was a British municipality (from 1898-1997). I just got through China before I felt I had to comment, so... Just adding my 2 cents.
A few more I highly recommend that none of you have are the Jean Vigo set which includes L’ Atalante, one of the absolute greatest films ever made and the Jacques Tati box set.
I'm afraid to watch Blow-Out because I have heard it's a more literal, simplified version of Blow-Up, and Blow-Up is one of my favorite films of all time.
Ah, i didn’t wait until the end. After you had gone through American (US) movies, I wrote my comment before the UK. Albeit I think of Charlie Chaplin as an American more than an Englishman.
**(sigh)** Terry Gilliam is an American, guys (and Scotland is in the United Kingdom, for now); and Charles Laughton "made" dozens and dozens of films - he directed only one (if you don't count "The Man on the Eiffel Tower" that he completed direction of, but was not credited). I could go really gonzo here and say that "Mulholland Dr." actually "emerged" in 1999 (the 20th century) as a TV pilot that ABC rejected, and Lynch re-worked it with some new footage and released it as a film 2 years later, but I don't want to nit-pick...🤣
Yea this is why I said some things would be wishy washy. Terry Gilliam was born an American but in 2006 renounced his American citizenship. and the vast majority of his films are from the UK.
@@TheMisfitPond only 4 of the 13 feature length films he's fully directed can be said to have been "from the UK" (so, far from "the vast majority"), as the rest have been produced (or co-produced) and filmed in the US, Canada, and other places in Europe (Romania, Prague, Germany, Portugal, etc.), including 2 of the 3 mentioned in this video - all 3 having been made long before 2006. I wish you could have said something about what makes Criterion's version of "Brazil" so good is the inclusion of the "Love Conquers All" version (the cut Warner Brothers wanted that is so bad and non-sensical, with a happy ending that undercuts and abandons everything that came before), as opposed to Gilliam's cut; and how he showed his cut to the LA Critics, forcing Warner to release HIS version.
@@erikhughes8412 I haven’t opened or watched the Brazil criterion so I couldn’t tell you. That is actually true what you said about Gilliam tho. I just known him for films like Brazil, Meaning of life, Zero Theorem, etc.. but he didn’t renounce his American citizenship lol I confused personal experience with fact lol
@@TheMisfitPond You HAVE to watch the "Love Conquers All" version - I don't think you can watch it without the commentary track that tells you how much it differs from Gilliam's cut (if you have a choice, keep the commentary track on), but it's the version we would have gotten had Warner Brothers had their way - and it will absolutely floor you how close we came to losing a brilliant film.
