Found Breathless in the used DVD section for $15 the other day, making that my first actual criterion. Man, these things are amazing. Im thinking of asking for one for Christmas, but I was wondering which one to get next: 8 1/2 House Paris, Texas I wanna stay on the cheap-ish side, but I was wondering which has the best packaging, longevity, whatever.

Oh, man. I thought i saw Diabolique on that Bravo 100 scariest movies list they play every year. It scared the hell out of me and I hope that's the same one.

Being a biology major, i feel like i missed an opportunity to pick up Science is Fiction: 23 Short Films by Jean Painleve. Is that worth picking up even somewhere down the road?

I really loved Les enfants terribles, and I'd like to pick up another Jean-Pierre Melville. The one's I'm most interested in are Le Samourai and Army of Shadows. Is there a clear winner here?

I want another Bergman. I have/have seen Fanny and Alexander, The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries and enjoyed them all immensely, F&A being the most incredible in my opinion. Where should I go from here? I'm not against blind-buying Bergman at this point.

Maybe this is a rhetorical question but if I rented The Leopard from my library, I'd want to go with the original release, correct? Disc 3 has the American release with Burt Lancaster's own voice but runs about 10 minutes shorter. The booklet's not included so I don't know if it was included for the same reasons Brazil's happy ending version was included.

My library has all of the Jacques Demy movies (which is shocking to me) and I've already seen and loved Umbrellas and Donkey Skin. What other ones are worth watching in that set?

Riosan posted:I'm considering blind buying the Apu Trilogy, just because of how excellent the restoration is and the soundtrack seems great. Is it worth it if I'm really not that knowledgeable in world cinema? They're breathtaking movies. I had only seen the first when I bought the set and I revisit them a lot and share them with friends as much as I can.

None of which I've seen, each of which has been languishing in a wishlist for months/years. With the BNTROPICAL code, all that was a bit under $60 before tax. Those Allan King ones are sad as gently caress. Watch with tissues.

Anyway, I wanted to mention Alice, Sweet Alice, but it turns out that's not in the Criterion collection. Huh. Also, is anybody in the know enough to tell me why Possession (1981) hasn't had anything of a decent mass release?

The Filmstruck thread got locked so is it okay if we post about that in here? Because as amazing a service that it is, about half the time I try to log into it on my computer it has trouble logging in. Leaving me staring at the processing sign instead of good movies. I emailed them about this, but I'm wondering if this has happened to anybody else?
