The Criterion Collection in 2017: All Fancy Movie GAF Releases Welcome!
- Thread starter omgkitty
- Start date
I am going to pick up Dreams next week and maybe the colors trilogy.
Finally caved and started my Criterion collection. I love the quality of the phsycial cases and love how they come with cool pamphlets and other goodies. The Godzilla one is so cool. These are first time watches for me except Mr.Fox which I haven't seen in 6 years.

I am trying out the Filmstruck trial, and my first film was "A Brighter Summer Day"
Holy shit, the only thing I knew about the moving going into it was that it was directed by Edward Yang (director for Yi Yi), so I was expecting something along those lines. It couldn't have been more different and delicious; it is mostly about a bitter rivalry between two street gangs run by children.
The number of amateur child actors in the movie impresses me even more. Highly recommend this film to all if you can stand 4 hours of greatness.
I am sooo tempted to re-start my physical collection with this movie, but I haven't bought any blu-rays for a while thanks to streaming services.

I picked up The Killing, blind buy.
Kubrick and Sterling Hayden? That's insta-get territory.
Might pick up The Lady Vanishes before the month's up.

Wow. The Killing was fantastic, except for that bit with the racial slur. Ouch. I know why he did it, and it worked, but damn. Harsh.

I've always loved Mulholland Dr. and Videodrome, but for some reason they weren't part of my library. I fixed that with the current B&N sale. Beautiful editions.
The Man Who Fell to Earth is actually getting a US release this January.
So who knows, maybe Lionsgate will also release Ran and The Third Man or some of the other vintage Studiocanal titles (they won't).
Apparently there isn't a panic situation right now since Amazon allegedly has a bunch of copies left. But you know, better saffe than sorry.

Was going to post this yesterday, but wanted to wait until my copy shipped (it did).

Way to make a great cover worse with all that extra shit all over it. Kinda disappointed I won't get a digital copy since I bought the UK release though.
Didn't they also tweet out the closing song of one of the Before trilogy films?
fake edit: They did.
No cover for The Before Trilogy yet.
Love Malika Favre's work on the collection so far. Both Almodovar covers are great.
awesome. never heard of any of these.

how do you know it is no booklets!?Almodovar and Before Trilogy

eddit: looks like Before trilogy includes an essay "essay on the trilogy by critic Dennis Lim" haven't looked at the others yet to see.
They're listing only one essay, which usually means it's a fold-up poster thingy.
ahh gotcha fam. the before trilogy deserves better than that. give it the Del toro treatment.

You done good, Flow. Really nice entry into Criterion. You need Seven Samurai & Brazil now. Also, Seven Samurai.
Ty! I watched 7 samurai before on DVD and loved it but I might actually spring for a blue ray version
Mulholland Drive is probably one of my favorite films of all time. If you haven't seen it watch that ASAP!
Everyone keeps talking about it so I knew I needed it asap
Amazon's got the Before Trilogy priced at $39.95 right now.

Yeah it appears they've been throwing up all Criterion releases at the $39.95 price which is the MSRP for most of their basic titles, but of course in this case and the Lone Wolf and Cub set, the price is wrong. Obviously this is a price error, so order now before they change it, and yes they will honor it.
Bought the instant you posted this.
cheaper than the B&N sale for sure.

Just pre-ordered on Amazong.
Yeah, was slow on this one =[
I wonder why that happens and why it takes them so long to change it lol. The Lone Wolf & Cub set was the same thing (managed to get that one for $40).

Not to jinx it but how do they not change it back for those who preordered it?
