Criterion Collection Recommendations for Beginners
Shape of Water is excellent. Great performances by Michael Shannon and Richard Jenkins among many others
I didn't know Michael Shannon was in that?! He's one of my favorites, mostly because of Boardwalk Empire. I guess I'm getting it then.
I already own 1 or 2 discs, can't wait to get this set, I am new to the collection and I WILL drop this money on this. $15 a disc is fine and the fact it is curated by the artists is amazing. Try the WB100 (four sets of 25 movies) set if you don't like this, its cheaper.
@@robjohnson9235 I’m glad this product is working for at least some collectors. There’s no question as to the quality of the films in it.
I've been a huge fan of Criterion for a long time, but there's still 23 film in this box I don't own, plus 4 additional films I currently have on DVD that need an upgrade. So if it's available in November for 400, that comes out to 27 films I would want for about $15 each...nowhere near the value of the Bergman box, but still a decent deal. It's just a matter of whether I want those films in this package all at once. I think the packaging is gorgeous so I'll probably buy it. I think the set has wider appeal than people think, because most collectors aren't such completists that they would have most or all of the films in the box. Some certainly do, but I think the majority of Criterion fans have a percentage of films in the collection that would still warrant purchasing it during the sale to fill gaps.
That's what I'm hoping will happen for at least some number of collectors. Honestly, I've been looking over at my Eclipse stuff and wondering if they shouldn't bring that kind of product back.
Agreed, I also don’t like it. It is only for the most ardent collector (at worst, they are prying on the obsessives who will now feel the need to buy this). No newcomer is going to buy this at $800 (or even on sale). Anyone wanting to get into film would be better off buying boxsets from different labels and individual discs on sale. Surely part of the fun of buying physical is you get to curate your own library. For $200/300, most could create a better and more personal introduction to film than this (maybe that is a cool video idea!).
They could also just do something like they did with the Eclipse series.
i agree with everything you said. i think this is primarily directed towards massive collectors though not the general criterion collector. it’s more of a trophy similar to the coffee table book, it might be a limited release (or i think it should be). i own 12 of the films in the set already so i definitely won’t be buying it plus i like the individual cover arts with each release
I like the coffee table book comment a lot.
Amazing steelbook pickups Cody!
We also got "Footloose," which I haven't ever seen, somehow 🤣
@@codyinthecinema Grerat soundtrack! We really like the film too.
Gteat film i do own the vhs 📼👈🏻 but no uk Blu-ray or euro import is scandalous tbh !!!😡
@@stuartgeorge2324 ??? WHAT?!?
@@codyinthecinema yes I dont own it really hard to get a copy I normally buy a import Spanish German etc but there is none it's weird
@@codyinthecinema just region a copy from USA and it's £22 +
Ditto!
Does anyone want a remake of this great movie? Hell, why not remake the Godfather? I can see Michelle Corleone cat scratching people to death.
The cat moment in the original is such a good piece of movie history.
It has been my experience that "remakes" of classic films fall way short. As with True Grit. Sure, the remake was far more period correct in appearance but trying to out do John Wayne? Come on... Another example is The Magnificent Seven. Denzel Washington is great, but its not like the original. And Fists Full of Dollars cannot be topped by any current actors today. It just won't happen.
The other issue that I didn't mention is that Ennio Morricone was the master of movie music, and no one will be able to top that.
@@codyinthecinema Very true! The most beautiful and dramatic sound track ever.👍
तव@@codyinthecinema
Its unbelievable 😳 it be mediocre at best imo
Maybe the horse will be interesting?
Japan, Korea and Hong Kong are my faves. I love Kurosawa (Akira and Kiyoshi), Miyazaki, Takashi Miike, Shinya Tsukamoto, Kinji Fukusaku, Bong Joon Ho, Park Chan Wook, and John Woo. Also love European directors like Almodovar, Haneke and Vinterberg
@@hvitekristesdod I need to expand my horizons more for sure!
@@codyinthecinema Good luck! I highly recommend Miike. He has over 100 films with a wide variety of subjects to choose from
Great review. Have you seen Lonely Are The Brave? Im going to be doing a video on it on my new channel soon.
I watched it recently. I like a lot, maybe second or third to "Ace in the Hole" as my favorite Kirk Douglas movie.
Shelley Duvall was the best part of the film for me 100%. Her performance was amazing and it has already stuck with me from the very first time I saw the film back in 1980. I was only 11 years old when it released and I was way too young to be watching the film and to understand it all. I still watch it often.
Great pickups! I would love to visit The Mall Of America some day. I need to pick up Perfect Days eventually after hearing what you said about it. Great video!
@@BasementBlus the vibes are really good on perfect days. It’s a relaxing one.
could you review werkmeister harmonies, i saw you gave 5 stars on letterbox. love the content
@@Lucas-6677 I reviewed it on the channel a few months back actually! Thanks!
Pretty varied list, few of mine Papillon, obviously Shawshank redemption, lock up, green, mile count of monte cristo, scum,
Ok now I have to look up a few of those!
"Bringing Out the Dead" is getting a 4k release in September as an update!
Berlin Alexanderplatz is actually a television series in 14 episodes first broadcast on German television between October and December 1980.
@@letstalkcriterion, that reminds me that I need to finish the dekalog!
@@codyinthecinema I think that warrants another watch its been a while.
My faves are Dune, Ghost World, American Psycho, Trainspotting, and LOTR 😊
I’ve been meaning to check out the Criterion release of Trainspotting
Perfect Days is excellent! Koji Yakusho is probably my favourite modern Japanese actor, see also Cure, 13 Assassins, and World of Kanako which is probably one of the most insane and unhinged performances I’ve ever seen 😊
I also picked up: Trainspotting Secret Sunshine Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down Bound Blood Simple Lady Snowblood
@@hvitekristesdod - I’ll have to give “Cure” a watch. I keep hearing it’s fantastic.
@@codyinthecinema It is, truly chilling 😊
I thought Perfect Days was sublime, his performance was excellent considered he barely spoke a couple of words for two thirds of the film.
@@letstalkcriterion I came away feeling similar to how I feel after an Ozu or maybe even Bresson watch. It's a hard thing to do and I loved it.
picnic at hanging rock
@@Lucas-6677 I have an old beat up DVD criterion of that one I’ve watched a few times. It’s great.
Yes the exorcist is still fantastic, good video mate 👍🏻
RIP Shelley duvall
This is my #1 favorite film, one that can move me to tears every time I see it. The evil deceptions of Preacher Harry Powell are counterbalanced by the pure love and sincere faith of Mrs. Cooper (Lillian Gish), the protector and savior of the children. The message of the film is that true love and faith will triumph over evil, which is the message of true religion. Good point about the black comedy in the film. I read that Charles Laughton wanted to give Robert Mitchum some scenes to lighten up his performance, as he was afraid the evil nature of Mitchum's character might harm his career. I'm not sure I agree with that decision, but the lighter moments don't diminish Mitchum's impact. All of the performances are excellent, but I have to single out Billy Chapin, because John is truly the heart and soul of the story. He was one of the best child actors who ever worked in front of a camera. He can break your heart.
Give the original "Cape Fear" a go if you haven't as well! It's not as good overall, but Mitchum kills it.
New subscriber here. Thank you for the recommendations, so many of which I've never seen. In fact, the only ones I have seen are Ace In the Hole, Breathless and The Red Shoes. I recently picked up a used copy of The Leopard that I'm looking forward to getting into.
I found "The Tree of Wooden Clogs" from a list from the director's Sight and Sound Poll top 10's. That's a great list if you haven't seen it!
I just recently watched The Shootist for the first time and I loved it. Glad to hear you talking about it. I am a new subscriber now and will be checking out your videos!
It's my favorite genre, as my other hobby is traveling to Western National Parks and things. Thanks for the support!
Couple of my head , wizard of Oz the wicked witch 🧹 terrifying, the family musical Oliver , bill Sykes Oliver reed so terrifying
I wouldn't have considered Oliver without your channel.
@@codyinthecinema it's just wonderful, it's got everything, one of the best villains you ever going to see what he does to Nancy is terrible a family musical 😔 lol 😆 I love it
Great film good video mate 👍🏻
Breakfast club is decent, i dont have Thelma and Louise in my collection i seen it on tv many times 👌🏻🎥 raging bull is also decent film 📽️👌🏻🎬
I think I've watched that burnt steak scene at least 15 times from Raging Bull
Absolute classic great villain by Robert mitchum looks great the kids are fantastic I have the 4 k Blu-ray not seen It yet on 4 k , good video mate 👍🏻
I keep forgetting there's a 4k of this one!!!
Love the original films wasn't keen on fury road Tim hardy so annoying,
I'm hoping he's really good in the new biker gang movie with Austin Butler. I think it has even has the guy from Walking Dead in it.
I def have some sentimental attachments to some of my DVD's not specifically criterion.
My DVD copy of Casino looks like it has been runover by a car. Great times!
I recently watched this after probably 25 years I like it more with this viewing Brandon lee is fantastic 😍👍🏻🎥 good video mate 👍🏻
I'm so sad he couldn't do more :(
@@codyinthecinema yeah it really is ,
Among the Criterions I own: Armageddon and The Rock. LOL. Just bought Lady Snowblood collection.
Lady Snowblood is so satisfying.
Tim curry as pennywise 👌🏻 not seen Lincoln, once upon a time in the west is a masterclass in filmmaking 🎥 the score is first class🎼👈🏻👍🏻, return of the living dead is my favourite zombie film sooo much fun brilliant soundtrack mate listen out for it its fantastic 🎼👈🏻👌🏻 nice pickups mate 👍🏻
Once Upon a Time in the West has the GOAT soundtrack for sure
@@codyinthecinema good bad ugly has got extasy of gold ( sad hill cemetery scene ) 🎼so it beats once upon a time in the west score 🎼 imo
Love westerns i do own this not seen it tbh mate
This and Stagecoach are my favorites in the Criterion Collection for sure.
Where's the reaction?
I try and keep away from modern trailers they tend to show to much imo 👌🏻🎥
I tend to agree with that, especially when it comes to anything with action or scares.
Great review. It might be my favourite film of all time. The bike scene is one of the best scenes in movie history. The last 10 minutes destroyed me. Better than Tokyo Story in my opinion. I also really love Late Autumn that's my second favourite Ozu film.
I just realized I haven't seen Late Autumn. I'll have to fix that!
@@codyinthecinema You must as soon as you can. It's a bit lighter than Late Spring and Setsuko Hara is in it.
Just subbed you mate i will watch some of your videos 💿👈🏻🎥
Thanks for the support! I try to cover a range of genres and styles.
@@codyinthecinema 👍🏻🎥
a great dark comedy movie. agree that it was important to prevent the main guy from becoming too likeable so you enjoy him getting into more and more trouble.
It's a really unique performance that I enjoy a little more each time I watch it.
quality doesn't expire. good stuff.
Yeah I have seen the searchers, but too me there is far more comparisons between star wars and casablanca even though the latter is semi love story. Now the two are totally different story wise, but its so obvious where the scenes, music and stuff got their inspiration.
I’ll have to look into that. It’s a truly great film!
ive been trying to get more into film noir, i will definitely be adding this one to my list!
It's an addictive genre. Have fun!
one of my three favorite films of all time! The other two are Sam Peckinpah's STRAW DOGS and Conrad Rook's CHAPPAQUA.
I've never heard of Chappaqua. Thanks for the recommendation!
It seems like another good reason to own physical media is that certain things may not be available or may be censored/altered if we get to a point where you can only access movies online. That said, I'm in my decluttering era and not personally interested in acquiring more movies or other physical media at this time.
The physical space battle is real!
hey cody in the cinema! you should do a video comparing old vs new godzillas! love the vids, keep em coming!
That’s a great idea! I’ll look into it.
Do Zone of Interest!!!!!
Great idea!
