The moment he gets back to England and discovers they don't play on his Region B blu-ray player.

"This is the sight of my personal financial ruin." Truer words have never been spoken. I've often joked, crack would be cheaper. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

watching richard light up while he talks about films makes me so incredibly happy i wish this was longer

It's a shame that he didn't pick White Chicks

i love how happy and smiley he is throughout the vid :)

He looks like he belongs in a Wes Anderson film.

I just don’t understand how one person can have that much charm.

The Criterion Collection better add Submarine because that film is designed to be released on it! Love Submarine's story, humour, acting, characters, Erik Wilson's beautiful cinematography taking place in Swansea, Wales, the incredibly underrated score by Andrew Hewitt and an iconic soundtrack by Arctic Monkeys Frontman Alex Turner to boot! Timeless, funny, charming, endearing, but, sad and plucks your heart strings throughout! I still haven't seen the IT Crowd and think Richard Ayoade is talented at comedy and most likely the most successful British Comedian film director since Terry Gilliam!

Listening to him made me more intelligent

He's so brilliant, I trust all his movie choices.

Yes, finally somebody picks Zazie. I wish this was longer.

You're suppose to leave with your hands full and never return. Clearly he didn't see Alfonso Cuaron's DVD picks.

"The place of my Financial Ruining" -Richard Ayoade on Criterion's Closet.

I think he wanted them all.

I have never seen him so comfortable.

You gotta love Criterion’s choice to go with the frame of him in completely shadow under terrible fluorescent light for the thumbnail.

Has nothing to do w his selection but... He’s really hot

Hey, it's the guy from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace!

Oh to be shopping for DVDs with Richard Ayoade

Este video richard ayoade dvd picks este chico es muy guapo me está gustado por que le quiero mucho muchos abrazos y besitos me gusta su pelo rizado

Sisters Certified Copy (in his hands) Zazie Dans La Metro Le Havre I think he also mentioned Kazan (?) (he mentioned it in a mumbly fashion possibly), so that would be On the Waterfront.

Always love these videos but they also always make me think of these filmmakers' personal collections. A video series of the movie collections/movie rooms of various filmmakers and actors would be so great. Someone make it happen! ^_^

God he's so attractive it's bananas.

Could we get a listing of the movies they talk about in the description? It would make it a lot easier to check them out.

you guys need to put the dvd picks in the description or something so i can look these up

Such a beautiful soul! I wish we could get more of his fine work in America.

Sisters (1973) dir. Brian De Palma The Magic Flute (1975) Ingmar Bergman Zazie Dans le Metro (1960) dir. Louis Malle Le Havre (2011) dir. Aki Kaurismaki Les Cousins (1959) dir. Claude Chabrol

"Zazie dans le Metro" is such a joy to watch.

has to be the politest dude ever. only person I've ever seen put a film BACK

"You wouldn't steal a handbag. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a baby. You wouldn't shoot a policeman. And then steal his helmet. You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet. And then send it to the policeman's grieving widow. And then steal it again! Downloading films is stealing. If you do it, you will face the consequences."

Such great unexpected ASMR...

Este video tambien me gusta este chico con su pelo rizado por que me enamorao es muy guapo

Ladies and gentlemen... THE NEXT DR WHO!

Richard is the most English Englishman in the history of Britain. Very disarming and hilarious, too.

I've never been quite sure if the people in these videos are expected to pick out favorites, to provide viewers with some insight of what they like most, or if they are genuinely supplementing their current collections, and therefor picking movies they like but are NOT favorites already in their own collections.

I would be like a kid in a sweet shop picking my favourites!

His version of The Double should be in the collection

So...does this mean Criterion's working on a release for one of his films? Or has he contributed on some of their releases before? Either way, loved his reaction to being in the closet. It must be so unbelievable.

Didn't know he was known in The US. Ayoade is great.

Was not expecting him to mention Aki Kaurismäki. Torilla tavataan.

Holding a copy of Certified Copy. Niiiice.

Moss choosing films to watch with Roy and Jen... And remember: Needs to have a good distance from sofa...lol

Criterion needs to put out a blu-ray of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

UH I want the Criterion Collection in europe so bad!!

Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in again?

How tall are those shelves? Ayoade is 6 ft as it is.

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jona Hill?????

I'd put Zazie up there in my top 20. Nice to see someone else with such regard for it!

Can we get his two films on criterion with a ton of special features please?

Was he in character? Bloody hell he moves and talks like Moss in the IT Crowd!

First he was in the box trolls then soul and now the bad guys

MOSS! What’s with all of these DVDs?

We're bunking off!

he's charming but a bit all over the place here, i hardly got anything out of it other than his love of Zazie Dans Le Metro, which is cool

He's exactly like I'd be if I was allowed in

Is that all?

he's so different here compared to Travel Man!

I'm lowkey bummed to hear Jesse Eisenberg didn't find Buster Keaton helpful in forming his character. Buster is ALWAYS helpful in forming my character, spirit and sense of _joie de vivre_ ... and I'm now highkey annoyed with myself that I've succumbed to using the unimaginative buzzword 'lowkey'. Damn. Back to Buster school of manners. There are no bad Busters.

“What a ludicrous display!”

I absolutely love Zazie dans le Metro!

So what???? Ayoade dose not seem to have picked anything. He says he has already "RUINED" himself financially "ON A PRETTY PROFOUND LEVEL". But I was under the impression that these "Pick" videos were a give away!?!!!!! IMHO. (The Criterion G-A-W!!!! imho)

anyone know what movie he is talking about when he mentions the field mouse and city rat?

Why was it cut so short?

Meh, there's nothing embarrasing about watching your favourite films if you're an ocular orientated person, Richard. It's no different than listenting to your favourite albums repeatedly. I must have watched The Shining at least a 100 times over the years... ok, that is embarrasing.

I'm shocked he didn't pass out from his repressed ability to emote all his feelings.

I think he would get along with Graham Coxon

Then he goes home and puts on the Rocky Collection, stop lying to us Richard!

The Magic Flute? Which performance? Metropolitan Opera with Kathleen Battle as Pamina? Moll sings Sarastro in that one if I remember correctly...... me super smart! Real opera smart!!

😍😍😍

What did he the pick, the first one in the blue case? Anyone know?

Basquiat

I didin't get the few titles that he mentioned, can someone write them down for me? Thanks!

I don't know why, but character-wise....he seems more french than british.

Oh shit its Dean Learner runnnnn

Pretty boring...but I would love to see 'The double' coming to Criterion... a true masterpiece.

Why didn't you just get some guy off the street?

IT'S A ROBOT, ROY!

the internet

Moss yank the shelf out

I’ve seen all of his picks and I hated them all, but I like the things he’s in

hamburger

Nobody ever mentions Finding Nemo?

Predator

Boring.

I love you, Richard. But Zazie dans le Metro is nothing more than a collection of sped-up chase- sequences. Sometimes the Film does achieve the magic of a child's book, however, it is extremely tiresome

Boring list

CANNOT stand this guy. Fml

This was the worst by this wonderful series, by far

Wow that really was pretty shit wasn't it?
