HELLO! I just wanted to address something in this video right off the bat. Towards the beginning I make a statement that says something along the lines of "criterion is the thing if you like movies." This is NOT TRUE LOL. I have no place to be telling you how to enjoy things. This is how I express my love for film, you may do it a different way. It was an elitist statement and I apologize. I should have caught the statement earlier in my editing process and removed the footage. A less serious thing to address: I have no idea why I called my dad "FATHER" in one part. I have never done that before in my life and probably never will again. Hope u enjoyed!!

House (1977) is a must!

Blue Velvet was something I bought on a whim because they didn't have something else I wanted... now it's my favorite movie

"The Graduate" is a must! It's my favorite movie. I can't wait to see "Blue Velvet."

I literally just got into Criterion collecting with this most recent sale. I picked up Pan’s Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, A Hard Day’s Night, and Eraserhead.

This is a wonderful way to share your collection! The editing and pacing of your video is just perfect. Excellent selections and commentary as well.

Nice! I just started collecting them also, although I had 3 or 4 Criterion DVDs before that. I have: - Seven Samurai - Amarcord - The Seventh Seal

It's hard for me to choose between Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Parasite as the best film of 2019. They're both masterpieces if you ask me!!

Also very excited about World of Wong Kar-wai and Memories of Murder!!! Welcome to the Criterion fam!

Excellent collection you've got here :) I got into collecting from criterion about a year or two ago and I've been steadily building up my collection. I always love seeing another person's collection and seeing how it may differ from mine. I also own The Silence of the Lambs since it happens to be one of my favorite films of all time. Also, thank you for your comment regarding the whole DVD vs Blu ray thing. I'm the only criterion collector I know of who goes for DVDs instead of the blu rays. They're cheaper and already high quality so I don't mind having them. Not to mention I can play a DVD in more places compared to a blu ray. Happy collecting and fantastic video :)

I love watching personalized collections .

Welcome to the Cult! I think you’d really enjoy Ozu, Buñuel and Almodovar! You should give any one of those films by those directors a shot

Great start to your Criterion Collection. Yes buying your die heart favourite movie on Criterion is a must, but I also love the hunt of finding an obscure film that I never knew about. Now I'm usually biased and most of my blind buys are Japanese films since thats my favourite genre and one I am really trying to go deep into. Glad to see you have Seven Samurai, but I never recommend it because it's just too intimidating to start with, "the greatest film ever made", even though I personally rank it #5 for Akira Kurosawa films. My personal favoruite Kurosawa film is Ikiru, but my favourite film to recommend is Tampopo.

Goated collection you got here :) mine includes: - The 400 Blows, Spine #5 - Rashomon, Spine #138 - In the Mood for Love, Spine #147 - Bicycle Thieves, Spine #374 - Ace in the Hole, Spine #391 - 12 Angry Men, Spine #591 - Fantastic Mr. Fox, Spine #700 - A Brighter Summer Day, Spine #804 - A Touch of Zen, Spine #825 - The New World, Spine #826 - Police Story and Police Story 2, Spine #971-#972 - The Circus, Spine #996 - The War of the Worlds, Spine #1037 - Parasite, Spine #1054 - The Incredible Shrinking Man, Spine #1100

from those picks, I think you would really love Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters

Great video, my Criterions include: Spine No. 248, Videodrome (1983) Spine No. 539, HOUSE [ハウス] (1977) Spine No. 723, ERASERHEAD (1977) Spine No. 1000, Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films, 1954-1975 Spine No. 1035, Come and See [Иди и смотри] (1985) Tomorrow, I'm going to head to Barnes and Noble to pick up Spine No. 838, Pan's Labyrinth [El Laberinto del Fauno] (2006), so very very very excited!

I just started out the other day! The films I bought were: Seven Samurai Throne of blood 12 Angry men Solaris Stalker

I just bought The Irishman , The graduate , Thin Red line , silence of the lambs , Traffic and The game. Criterion are beautiful transfers abd they do a excellent job upscaling them. Can't beat 50% sale for sure and i almost forgot i bought Roma.

Excited to watch 'MIRROR' for the first time when it arrives. I also spent too much on this Criterion sale that just ended.

a good collection I've got about 250 in my Criterion collection - its difficult not making mistakes when recording videos for KZfaq. there a lot of Criterion fans out there love from the UK.

If you got any more during the sale could you post an updated collection? I 💝 your content! Keep up the good work.

Hello, fellow Criterion lover! Cute video. No need to be apologetic for anything you love. Keep the collection growing!

Have you seen Chungking Express? It's my favourite Wong Kar-Wai film - it's just gorgeous! Just warm, quirky, funny and the cinematography is amazing. Also just bought the 4-hour Taiwanese epic A Brighter Summer Day in Criterion edition; it's masterful!

You may or may not be aware of this, but a large number of films from the Criterion Collection are available on HBO Max for streaming. They don't advertise that Criterion is part of it and a lot of people probably aren't aware of it. It's $15 a month, and of course you also get all of the original series HBO has made over the years and a bunch of other programming including TCM type movies as TCM and HBO are both under the ATT/Time Warner umbrella. If your budget doesn't allow for buying a lot of DVDs but you stream some programming HBO Max might be an option.

Recommend Punch Drunk Love, I Married a Witch, Rumble Fish, Rosetta, Detour all masterpieces

Definitely try Blue Velvet again but if it’s not for you I completely understand because Lynch makes movies that definitely aren’t for everyone. Blue Velvet is absolutely his most accessible film that he has ever made and it’s certainly the best introduction to his work but if it doesn’t work for you then there is a pretty good chance that the rest of his filmography won’t either. Maybe try and watch another film by him after Blue Velvet (I recommend Wild At Heart and I recommend you stay away from movies like Eraserhead and Inland Empire if you are trying to get into his work because of how out there they are). David Lynch is one of my all time favourite directors and a majority of his films are among my favourites of all time so I hope you will enjoy his work but I absolutely understand if you don’t. Great video! Introduced me to a channel that I will now be sure to keep my eye on.

Ur awesome I hope u keep uploading and seven samurai is gr8

Really enjoyed this video!

I think you would really enjoy The Virgin Suicides, Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson), Ghost World and Smooth Talk. All in the criterion collection ✨

It always makes me happy to see people of all ages having a love of films, books and music. Never lose that passion. Cheers.

Just found your channel, hi! Fellow Criterion collector here. My collection is small(er) by some comparisons, but some of my favorites overlap with ones you have. But others are: To Be Or Not To Be, Blow Out, The Game, Dekalog, Qatsi Trilogy, an Three Fantastic Journeys. Sorry I don't have the spine numbers on hand.

“If you’ve been awake within the past year” LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Why was that so hilarious!?

You're a great storyteller :)

I would love a children of men release!

YES Children of Men needs a CC release...also, since you got Seven Samurai, please watch/buy Yojimbo. I PROMISE you you'll like it. Fistful of Dollars (Clint Eastwood spaghetti western) was sued for ripping this one off. This one is funny and cool while others like Seven Samurai are great, but of course more serious/dramatic.

You should make a updated collection video.

LOVE THIS
