The Entire Criterion Collection Supercut

Here it is, folks: every movie in the Criterion Collection, as of May 2023. For those not familiar, the Criterion Collection is a long-running curated series of DVDs and Blu-rays of, in their own words, "important classic and contemporary films from around the world," ranging from popular titles to foreign titles to Hollywood classics to small indies and cult films, each carefully restored and bundled in gorgeously designed packaging with oodles of extras and bonus material. Every month, four to six new titles are announced, and each is given its own unique spine number. As of May 2023, spine numbers have been assigned from 1 to 1,190, from Grand Illusion to Drylongso, and in this supercut I have brought together a small sample of every one of those 1,190 releases. (That whooshing sound you may have heard was me, exhaling when I was finally done.)
A few disclaimers:
* I have not included any of their pre-DVD Laserdisc titles, nor have I added anything from any of their other release lines, like Eclipse or Art House Essentials.
* In the case of box sets, I chose a clip from one movie in that set. Since in many cases, the films in the set have their own separate spine numbers, this occasionally meant double-dipping, although I was careful not to repeat any specific clips.
Enjoy, and if you're curious about Criterion's offerings, you can go find them at www.criterion.com/.

Oooh, gonna call spoilers on that as a future video topic, but Singin' in the Rain is probably in the top spot. Probably. Unless it's Lost in Translation. Or The Piano. Or Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Or....

@hollyshippy7417 Год назад

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this stunning collection of Criterion film clips. We have many of these films in our collection, have several on pre-order ... and always look forward to new titles and the superb work the Criterion curators do remastering and preserving the worlds film culture. Hats off to your Criterion Collection Supercut.

These films are in a class of their own. Awesome video and editing. La Haine and Roma I love. But ALL of these are just.. Art Masterpieces in their own right. Forever films. not movies, but films. Fascinating list

@maxgc6413 Год назад

Theya are the gold standard of physcial media! We would not have commentaries, special features, correct aspect ratio and more without them! I remember getting my first batch mid 00's. It was the moment my cinema pallet became way more refined and to this day, they still release stellar quality blu's/and finally 4k's too. I pray for the Kurosawa set (rights are tricky though) And I'd love to see them put out older anime films, a pipe dream of mine.

Fantastic work!! I immediately favorited to rewatch again and again ;) One day I'll get through hopefully half the catalog...

@Jimmy-lv9mz 22 дня назад

Because I finished "1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", at least the first 5 editions, I have seen probably 500-ish of these movies. But I woukd love to have a Criterion Collection of my own

@quackslikeaduck 10 месяцев назад

Wooooo, so cool! Thanks for this! I have to give it another couple of viewings to see how many films I can name. Great idea and well executed. Must have taken quite a while to put this together!

This video is really slick and professional. I never thought much about the Criterion Collection, but you make it look so good! 🙂✨

@reckonedopinions Год назад

I really appreciate that! My stuff on here is all pretty much seat-of-the-pants winging it, but I'm pleased with how this turned out. (Also, Criterion is amazewaffles, and very much worth a look if you're at all a movie fan. Just...approach with caution. By which I mean, "Don't go tumbling down the slope of madness like I did, lest you shell out entire paycheck when there a sale, or pour weeks into your life editing a video about it.")

I was looking for the movie The Naked Pray ! with Cornel Wilde. but I did not see it. I wonder if I miss it or if it was not in this video.

@reckonedopinions 13 дней назад

Yep, it's in there, roughly at the 8:18 mark (a silhouette long shot rather than a character shot, which might be why it went unspotted).

@lamusicadealdo 13 дней назад

@@reckonedopinions You're right! I remember seeing this movie on tv long long time ago and I always remember the name.thank you.

@cattkingsgrave2247 Год назад

This is kind of a trip for someone who's never seen like 90% of these films. Some of the imagery was familiar, and I got which one they'd come from just through cultural inference, others, I recognized the performers, and a bit of the filmography, and then others were just slick imagery and great editing. You'll have to forgive me if I like and comment on this with a few different RU-vid accounts. I'm not afraid to fluff the numbers when it counts, after all.

@reckonedopinions Год назад

Omigod, sock puppet away! And thank you! Even after living intimately with the material for several weeks, I still can't catch it all as I'm watching, which is indeed why the elder gods created rewind and pause buttons.

@Shubdoblous 11 месяцев назад

What's your favorite Everything but the Girl album? I was shocked to see Amplified Heart vinyl. Great video.

@reckonedopinions 11 месяцев назад

Oh, definitely Amplified Heart. When I started buying vinyl it wasn't available in the format, so I googled at least once a month to see if it'd show up until it did.

@amysullivan8358 10 месяцев назад

Great montage and must have taken a ton of effort. Are the films presented in the same order that Criterion released them? At times it seemed that way but I wasn’t sure. How did you source the clips? Did you use movie trailers?

@reckonedopinions 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! They're presented in order of spine number, so yes, in order they were first added to the collection. Sourcing came down to the time-honored method of "whatever I can get my hands on," which became an annoying scavenger hunt in places. Trailers certainly got used, but not as often as you might think-the editing on some of those is so hyperactive that I often couldn't find even a two-second uninterrupted shot to pull.

@zetetick395 Месяц назад

Too fast for me (I cannot absorb the image AND read the spine text - my eyeballs don't move fast enough left / right for it!) how about a double / treble legnth supercut?

@justanotherfakeid Год назад

13:12 - totally my fault.

Is it possible to list all the movies?

The best place to look right now is the Criterion website. You can see the entire list at www.criterion.com/shop/browse/list?sort=spine_number .

I don't think I saw Berry Lyndon, It Couldn't Happen Here, etc.

@reckonedopinions 2 месяца назад

Barry Lyndon's in there, spine number 897, around the 17:45 mark (it's a dark clip, so it's easier to miss). This Can't Happen Here, strangely, is one of a few Ingmar Bergman titles NOT available on Criterion.

@aarond9563 10 месяцев назад

i really don't mean this in a rude way... genuinely curious. Why have you done this and how long did it take?

@reckonedopinions 10 месяцев назад

Valid questions, absolutely, and thank you for taking the time to ask! (I've certainly asked myself the "why" part a lot, especially in the middle of editing when I'm considering taking up drinking instead.) This video took over a hundred hours of work between research and editing, which I foolishly tried to cram into a three-week window. Not my wisest set of decisions, and it led to some looong days, but once I'd started I was impatient to see the final result, so sleep could wait. The most basic reason why is because making videos like this is fun for me-some people knit, I do this, to similar effect. More specifically in this case, I have a bit of an obsession with Criterion, and it seemed like a good fit for the kind of stuff I've done in the past. I remember seeing a RU-vid clip about ten years ago with every Criterion title, but that was when the collection was half its current size, and the video kept its clips to a fraction of a second each and gave no title or spine number information, whipping through them so fast that they were basically unidentifiable. It was cool, but I was curious how it would look with more room to breathe and many more titles (answer: kind of exhausting). For all the effort it took I'm more than pleased with the result, and folks seem to be responding well, so it's all good.

@aarond9563 10 месяцев назад

@@reckonedopinions Well... glad you enjoyed it at least. I don't know if I could say the same afterwards 😅. Sorry, I have a few more technical questions if that's okay? How did you decide what 2 second clip to choose out of hours of film to choose from? P.S. - I really like the stylistic choice of putting the spine information to mimic the actual spine of a film, but it does make it a little hard to read when it's on the screen for such a short amount of time. Like I said, I appreciate the look but maybe a horizontal title could have made it easier to read in your periphery while you watch the scene.

@reckonedopinions 10 месяцев назад

No worries! Scene selection varied from title to title; I might have something in particular in mind if it's a movie I'm very familiar with, but most of the time I looked for something representative of the film and (hopefully) visually interesting. (That part got thrown out the window more often than I'd have liked, because a lot of these were a case of "take what you can get".) I hear you about the vertical titles. I actually had them printed horizontally when I started this project, but it ended up being more distracting than anything-having the text front and center would draw the eye away from the images half the time, and the titles would be going by too fast to read in their entirety anyway, so I settled for moving all that out of the way where you could look at it if you wanted and pause if you're dying to know what a particular shot is. I think the visual look of having the info imitating the spine layout, especially with that font, was what actually got me excited enough to finish the thing in the first place, so I don't regret the choice, but yeah, not the easiest to read.
