RichterIX posted:Fantastic Planet isn't allowed in my home because something about the animation style makes my skin crawl. I don't know why but it is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Agreed. There was a video in that animation style playing on a loop on a TV outside a classroom at my college. For an entire month it played, every day, as I waited for the previous class to be let out.

Why do I feel like buying only 10 movies was way too few? I want to go back tomorrow and get more that I haven't seen before.

The_Rob posted:I'd say he took a lot from Tokyo drifter as well. It doesn't piss me off though. I think it's cool there is a director who is willing to wear his influences like a badge of honor. This excites me because today I bought Tokyo Drifter for basically no reason. I spent almost $500 this week on criterion

What criterions are the most bold and unique stylistically? Like in your face craziness and color, etc. Also, what are some of the most rewatchable movies? I'd have to say Nashville and Sans Soliel are mine

I've long been a fan of Playtime, so I picked up the Tati box set. The first movie was incredibly good! It was so funny and charming.

I spent the first 40 minutes of Tokyo Drifter being annoyed that I had no idea wtf was going on. I stopped to check if my Branded To Kill was still unopened and returnable. Then I realized that not knowing wtf is going on is half the point of Tokyo Drifter and I stopped caring, commenced loving the remainder of the film

How does something like animation translate to blu ray quality vs DVD? I know Mr. Fox is actually photographed so that's different, but what about the others?

One of my favorite things about Criterion is when a film has commentary from a film critic. I'm listening to the commentary on the Double Life of Veronique and it's such an enlightening experience. It's from a woman who wrote a book on Kieslowski

I watched a Hard Day's Night at this thread's prompting. By the end I was really glad I'd watched it, but it was pretty uneven. I just found the grandfather character to be really, really annoying. Everything else was absolutely wonderful, but he kept popping in and dragging things down. I'm a big Beatles fan, so I am eager to dive into the supplements soon

To the folks who have just bought Inside Llewyn Davis, definitely watch the special feature about the folk music scene of the time. It really helps the viewer understand Davis's character and situation.

Le Saboteur posted:Its a good day when I can get Devin Faraci to stump hard for the story of Triumph of the Will or Birth of the Nation being important for the Canon. Birth of a Nation is an important film. Yes, it's racist and that should not be downplayed, but in terms of technology and cinematography, it was a huge achievement of its time.

Nate RFB posted:For me that one is Sans Soleil, I loving hated it, it was 100% not something I would have ever gone out of my way to watch if it weren't a blind buy. I hate to use this term in this thread but it just felt so pretentious. Have you ever tried rewatching it? Whenever I watch something that I think is pretentious, I always try to figure out whether I'm having that reaction because of the way I am evaluating the film. Sometimes I am placing my own expectations on it and then evaluating based on how it lives up to those. Or I call is pretentious because I'm taking it too literally and judge it as being self-important, when in actuality it isn't trying to be, and its words are a lot less important than the import I am giving them. Anyway, try watching it again, now that you know what it is. Don't try to analyze its message, just enjoy it as a series of moments. Also I love Benjamin Button and if nothing else the three-hour "making of" special feature is one of the best in the entire collection

Kubrick is one of my all time favorites but for some reason every time I went to B&N (six times or so) I would pick up both The Killing and Paths of Glory and then put them back down again. If the Shining, Strangelove, Eyes Wide Shut, and 2001 are some of my favorite films, am I being an idiot by never watching these two?
