I'd love to own this whole fucking collection. What's your favourite Criterion DVD? |

Holy fucking shit on a fucking large stick which is on fire. I'm not going to save ALL my fucking money and get that collection. I'm serious. |

Nice. I just noticed that collection mentions Free Shipping. NO SHIT! |

too many to choose from! will a current dvd player be able to play HD-DVD's when they are released? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I don't think so. I think you'll need a HD-DVD player. Thankfullly HD-DVD is backwards compatible though so your old DVD collection will work on it. Fuck blu-ray. |

I have the "Dead Ringers" one out of that OOP-list. I got it for something like 10 euro's. my favourite might have to be "videodrome" - great transfer, nice extra's and just how that box looks.. Bremzen has the "Brazil" box, which contains 3 dvd's. nice package, but the quality of the dvd's themselves seemed to me to be a bit.. off. the one I still desperately want to get one of these days: |

my favourite is the Silence... it's part of the Bergman trilogy... |

that Rushmore one is LUSH...I love it. Pick it up asap. |

Fear and Loathing is a great one too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
L'Avventura, Contempt, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Wild Strawberries. The list goes on and on-- lots of great stuff! They're going to be putting out L'Eclisse one of these days :) |
||||||||
|

I want Walkabout, Silence of the lambs, Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, Robocop and... The Rock |
||||||||
|
|

Fear and Loathing is such a duff film. Terry Gilliam ran out of things to say about 40 minutes through. :( |

The most available and most of the time grossly over priced criterion DVD: |

that's the mainstream fake cover to get the attention of the norms. |

I find it funny that that DVD pushes 30 bucks at tower records. |

Honestly, not all criterion is good, but a lot of it is. Its not really worth collecting them for the sake of criterion, but if you have a film you really like, and you want to watch the special features, then its worthwhile getting. If you don't watch the special features, though, then its not really worthwhile, cause thats pretty much all criterion adds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it really depends on what you're talking about... if we're talking about the Criterion edition of the Rock, well then yes i agree, unless you are special feature obsessed than you might as well go for a cheaper version... that said, there are plenty of foreign DVDs in the collection that have more than just special features to their credit... problems to do with print quality, sound quality, quality of translation, presence of as much of the original film as possible... these are the sort of problems that criterion tackles head on and i don't know of any other company out there that can compare... it's really shitty because a lot of really important films will be dust-heaps if no one else starts to pick up the slack and help criterion put out the massive number of important films that remain all but unavailable (or in incredibly shitty condition)... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i agree... i have a bunch of them - they're great editions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
prety nice list that... i have a few of those on dvds and quite a few on divx and vhs..some of my favourite films there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mmmm, so many good films. Admittedly there's some shite in there too. Armageddon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, that crap really stands out doesn't it? and it's only 4 down from amarcord on that list, which is one of my all time 3 favourite films :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's strange to say the least. Still, I'd love the whole collection anyway. Stuff like that wouldn't get opened though. |
||||||||

Knife in the Water |

|
what's the criteria for making it into the criterion collection? is there a board that votes on the admission of films? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
nothing is free. |
