- Oscar-winning actor and director Tim Robbins stopped by the Criterion closet to pick up a few films and reminisce on his memories of Robert Altman and Samuel Fuller!

First person in the closet able to reach the top shelf?
Yeah Tim Robbins is 6"4 or something
Bryan8329 without needing a stepper, that is.
Raime He’s 6’5” apparently
He stretches his hand as he stretches his mind.
@@HugoSoup57 yes 6"5 incredible. he could pass as an NBA player
He was impacted by Robert Altman's Nashville in HS and then he gets to star in Altman's film The Player years later. How lucky is he?
Short Cuts too!
His picks:
Antonio Gaudí (1984)
Eclipse Series 24: The Actuality Dramas of Allan King (1967-2005)
La Jetée (1963) / Sans Soleil (1983)
Nashville (1975)
Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Shock Corridor (1963)
My Dinner with André (1981)
Z (1969)
He hadn't actually seen those first couple.
He went from A to Z
Thank you!
Von Antero thank you, people like you make life better
Bryan Colley he still picked them
He's aged really well. Hope to see him in more iconic films down the road.
Bob Roberts.
Same he’s pretty cool
Congratulations on launching Filmstruck, but please Criterion don't ditch physical media!
Filmstruck seems to be its own thing; subscribers have the option to get the "Criterion Channel" so it's got like its own exclusive thing going on there
We're sorry, FilmStruck is only available in the United States at this time.
God damn it.
Why would they ditch physical media?
That is the main point of Criterion releases.
I'm in the UK and I use the opera web browser to use filmstruck.
Don’t have to worry about that anymore :(
When he pushes the case back in at 0:33. Love this guy.
For the love of GOD, please get the rights to "Jacobs Ladder"
sublime movie and such a subway movie
Which Jacob's ladder? I did a quick search and two or more Jacob's ladder appeared. Which year is the one you're speaking of?
Ja La 1990
Hey, hey, there are no gods here. Imaginary friends are for idiots and children.
@@zaineridling well that's ironic because you're a cringe god
He must have been thrilled to get to work with Altman.
No doubt. The Player was excellent and Robbins was in top form in it. Nashville is a masterpiece.
That's crazy that the film that made Tim look at film a different way, was directed by Altman, who Tim would later work with on some of Altman's most recognized works. This being of course, The Player and Short Cuts.
And Tim did great work in those. I love all of Altman's films, but I'm partial to his 70s output.
I agree. MASH is still one of my favorite films of all time. Gritty, raw, real, and hilarious. To me, one of the best comedic movies of the decade.
i dunno, Shawsank is his most iconic performance and film, the casablanca of our internet generation, through the movie fans' eyes but i think as an actor he found himself who he is, his true identity, his true style, under altman's direction
@0:33 The way he pushed that DVD back in was strangely satisfying. 🌀

Don't forget he pushes back a copy of MEDIUM COOL.
Can't really make it out that well but it looks more like THE DARJEELING LIMITED to me...he'd be crazy to put MEDIUM COOL back!
THANKS Velocirapta! A magnanimous deed to provide the list. After viewing Tim and his comments I really hoped I'd find someone kind enough to provide it, you! I got a letter from Paris years ago. I thought, "I don't know a soul in Paris! Who could this be?" and it was a letter from Costa Gavras wanting to read my screenplay ha!
I LOVE that his first choices are films that he's never seen before, just ones that he's interested in.
Add Jacob's Ladder
Oh fuck, a 4K restoration of JACOB'S LADDER would give me the biggest boner right now.
Adam Banks chill bruh
It should, it's an outstanding movie (it's apart of my DVD collection at least).
John King I’m glad I’m not the only one. Definitely in my top 10 for sure.
Robbins is one of the few Criterion closet guests that gives the camera the chance to reveal to us what films he's holding : a sign of a true cineaste with great eye and placement!
And yes Tim, Costa-Gravas is always a great finding!!!
I love this man very much...his contributions to Shawshank was amazing
It would be great if you could include a list in the description of the titles they pick. You can't always tell in the video.
Are there any photos or a 360 degree look at that room? I want to see the shelves in their entirety.
Not really a special closet, just an ad gimmick. Lots of Barnes and Noble stores in nyc area carry more Criterion videos than seen here.
get the coen brothers
Yes!
That would be terrific.
For sure! I think "No Country," "The Big Lebowski," and "Blood Simple" are the best.
@@ianjohnson458 Fargo! Though The Big Lebowski is the most rewatchable movie I can think of.
@@ianjohnson458 Oh yeah Blood Simple.. it has to be one of my favorite films of all time.
I've watched a lot of these videos and I really love them. Thanks for this series, Criterion!
Volume is very low
Then turn it up
Love these but could someone at Criterion edit these videos to add some text or the cover of the video when your guest picks them up? Often times they don't show the DVD to the camera or mention the title outright.
Pat Vamos i second this, i can't see half the movies he picks.
The picks are almost always listed by some good soul in the comments
Pat Vamos check the comments - someone always gets the list of films selected.
Pat Vamos Disagree. I like having to work. Plus it also feels good when you just see a word on the spine and you think 'yeahhhh me too, love that.' Covers and clips....nah, that's what any normal person would do,
"I need a sherpa" -- Tim Robbins
Great pics all around! Excellent insight on the writing in Shock Corridor.
I never knew that about Shock Corridor. Great movie, and the bit he refers to is some of the best stuff in it. The alarming juxtaposition, seeing a black man rave pro-KKK sentiments is incredibly effective.
The congressman was probably Strum Thurmond, or of that ilk.
And now we had Kanye in 2020 lol
best excuse for being late: I was in the Criterion Closet!
Tim Robbins, we need you in cinema again sir!
Cant believe I'm witnessing a new criterion DVD picks video. Finally! Thank you, Criterion
It's an ad. Not a gift from Criterion. They want you to buy their products.
I just got my first Criterion through the flash sale! This just makes me pumped to get it
which film?
Pach Pacheco "A Night to Remember"
Austin Wolf cool stuff. hope you enjoy.
And so the addiction begins...
At the end he puts back "The Darjeeling Limited." Don't know how I recognized the cover but I did and compared it to my copy to be sure and it's definitely that movie.
Could we please have a list of the films they pick please? Sometimes they just hold the film without mentioning the film itself, thank you. And ya'll need to add more Buñuel to the collection.
He kind-of looks like philip Seymour hoffman now or maybe visa versa (BEFORE PSH passed of course)
? He looks like Tim Robbins. End of.
THANK YOU for picking Z! Incredible movie that I don't think anyone else have picked before.
lyricsfromsweden, it's not on Blu unfortunetly
Tanner Bartko No it's not, they need to get on that!
lyricsfromsweden, I know! xD
I think William Friedkin picked Z, as well. Stunning film. Timeless.
He seems like a cool guy. Very interesting that he names Nashville as the first that really opened his eyes to the extended possibilies of film. For me it was Paris, Texas
i love Tim Robbins, so i will watch the vid
He kinda looks like Tom Hanks here
Poor Tim.)
Yes! Both are my fav actors 😁
Tim is the better actor. Imho.
Said no one.
Yay! I adore this dude, oh so much.
The Allan King eclipse set he grabbed at the start is the greatest release in the collection.
someday i hope for access to "the criterion closet"... but i'm no celebrity. I'm not a film maker. I'm just a fan. I collect and view films. It's a lonely life at my age. as for Tim's picks. .. all very good.
They should do an annual contest that lets one lucky SOB visit the esteemed closet!
You should check into getting the Criterion Channel. There's a 2 week free trial and then around $11/month.
@@chrisbender8714 i already have The Criterion Channel I was one of the first subscribers
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it shout out to the astounding Canadian filmmaker Allan King, who’s films are among the greatest movies ever made.
I would love to look in there. Wonderful. I'd insist on some granny steps so I could reach the top shelf.
I love that he goes for a few that he hasn't seen yet and wants to see.
Probably the only one who didn't pick old boring French films.
Can't believe he's never seen La Jetté.
A fine example of a celebrity activist with poise & grace, don't find many like him anymore. Oh, & he kicked ass in Eric The Viking.
help me out here, why these famous actors and directors who earn more money than I'll ever see,, and also have all the inside connections, are missing so many key criterions, crucial films in their filmic education? Im just a cinephile with an average incoming but I have most of these titles. A guy like tim robbins who easily makes 10 millions for any big hollywood film, why doesnt have every single title? its what he does, its his passion and job.
of course it could all be pretenses so the series has a motive, but most of them seem genuinely unaware of these titles and say things like "they recommended this to me"
They're not missing them. This is an ad for Criterion. Safe bet they're both being paid and discussing/planning with Criterion staff which films they will choose.
Someone should have slipped a copy of Howard The Duck or Fraternity Vacation in there just to mess with him.
Shawn Powell lmfao I actually like BOTH of those movies
legendary actor right here
We need a Criterion release for Walter Hill's Streets of Fire.
The great Tim Robbins, huh? Hey, great idea for a box set, Criterion: Tapeheads, Bull Durham, and Shawshank Redemption. Such an amazing career!
him and michael shannon are the 2 actors who can see the top shelf
Allan King's documentaries are great!
Love this guy.
Dude, they should have a contest where you enter and you get to have a spending spree in the Closet. Criterion could set the limit on how many you can pick but a trip to the Closet would be a contest worth entering in my opinion. They film it just like these.
One of the rules is you can pick 10-15 but you have to talk about all of them as you pick them up. Maybe the grand prize winner could pick 20 and have a guest director to verbally spar with on your picks. I would KILL to pick 20 with Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino.
Ddue I would be going crazy picking films and talking about them XD If they could get director Steve McQueen to spar with me on choices I would be in heaven!
1:54
Wow, he's looking so old. I always remembers him as the guy from Nothing to Lose
I think he took some time off from acting in the late '00s to age.
His voice gives me ASMR. I love him in The Secret Life of Words. Underrated film.
The first one that comes to mind when I see him...but he was fantastic too in "The Player".
Sorry, I meant "Bob Roberts", him as a politician...very close to any American election, if I remember it right.
I need a Criterion version of tim robbins' Dead Man Walking.
see the brilliant TIM ROBBINS WITH SAMUEL FULLER IN THE TYPEWRITER, THE
RIFLE AND THE MOVIE CAMERA.....
sad that they never got to make a feature together!!! HE SHOULD DIRECT MORE MOVIES
ALSO
I need to see Nashville ive seen a few Altman films
Yes, it's a must see! Ronee Blakely will break your heart.
Please add Jacob's Ladder to the Criterion collection.
Congrats on filmstruck but don't ditch dvd and blu ray editions please!?!?!?
I read the story La Jeter is based on. Nothing like the Marker film. But a MUST read book. That story would make a great film.
Tim Robbins
Obviously done before The Player came out on Criterion. To go from being in awe of Nashville, to playing a part in The Player - damn Tim, you lucky S.O.B! And then getting to take your pick at Criterion! LOL Is there a time limit these people have in there?
THE CRADLE WILL ROCK directed by TR is a great film.
BOB ROBERTS for the Collection, please.
2:37 reminds me of Jacob’s Ladder
shout out for Daniel Clowes and that Shock Corridor cover
He is a really dab guy, props for keeping this cool.
I also had an intense reaction to Nashville - and I like the vision of NY as a great jail. 😷
Please list each pickers choice of films.
Cool picks
Geez, boost the audio level, guys.
i wish, i had a list of all theese movies
Here a few films that would be wonderful in the Criterion Collection.
- The Trial (1962)
-Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947)
- Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)
They should have a dedicated legal department that just handles the unfinished Welles filmography.
I would've thought that The Trial, was already there. If it isn't, it ought to be. Along with, Touch of Evil.
Get "eyes wide shut" in the collection.
i hope you add shawsank redemption too, criterion
Wow, Criterion must have a lot of money to be giving away their DVD's on that scale even if it's to the members of the movie industry and other cultural practitioners.
In 2002 at the Woodstock Film Fest, Tim Blake Nelson debuted his movie The Grey Zone about the Auschwitz uprising and Tim was in the crowd with us. Couldn't miss him: tall, kinda gangly. And the film was great too!
When's Sweet Smell of Success coming to digital??
It’s gotta be weird to watch a movie as a fan and loving the filmmaker.... and then later that director makes you the star of a movie of his.
Is Shawshank in the collection?
A unique talent
Oh wow, he had never seen La Jetée? Jacob's Ladder may remind him of it.
I need like 8 bags and i need like a big backpack and a sherpa
me too Tim me too!
Now where is the Criterion 'Howard The Duck' Blu-Ray???
Howard the Duck...on criterion. Please
I wont rest untill Criterion releases "Manos: Hands of Fate".
These are great. But I wish they would say the movies they're pulling off the shelves, because it is often difficult to see or read the covers.
shout out to dan clowes for cover art on shock corridor
“The Phil Jackson Story” ... starring Tim Robbins.
I love these but please ask people to read the titles, I could not read their subjectively tiny print
Not many people know that he is one of the greatest actors to has ever live.
he’s pretty good but let’s pump the brakes a bit.
@@Zack29810 Sorry, I'm taken a back a bit. Because, nobody in my life time has ever said "let pumps the breaks a bit".
I wonder if Criterion compiles total-titles-taken in this Closet series. Which ones are taken most, and by whom, which least, etc.
Also, there are some who complain: "I can't bend down to see the lower shelves!" And Tim's reaching for the tops. I wish Criterion would find the space so their products were within "the strike zone" - from mid-thigh to shoulder height... of course, I wish that about all library shelves, too!
You guys should really put a small, elegant, white caption on screen that reveals the title of each pick. I can't tell you how many times I've wondered which film it is. I don't know the whole bloody catalogue by the cover alone damnit!
Tipping my hat to the Chris Marker double feature
wait...what's the movie he talked about at 2:27 ?
My Dinner With André
Does anybody know if Criterion gives away these discs in the closet or do the people pay for them?
Love those videos but sometimes car hardly see the jacket and the name of the movie. Could you add it maybe ?
2:10 wow. People need to hear and understand things
Nashville is brilliant. His best film .
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is way up there, too.
He's made excellent movies, but I wonder if most Hollywood actors would give up making big movies here in the States and go to another country to make movies in the style of ones they admire.
