      Movies are appearing in his stack with no explanation; the first movie he's holding was skipped! It was tough to see the film titles, except for Harold and Maude, which can be seen clearly.
      Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
      Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
      Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to discern, but look at 2:42)

    That is so cool that he just supported "Pan's Labyrinth", I remember both that one and Joon Ho's "The Host" coming out around the same time, and I was so enamored with both. Very talented directors, and both their Criterion picks are a joy to watch.

    Why are there movies appearing in Bong Joon Ho's stack with no explanation?
    The FIRST DVD he is shown holding got skipped! It appears to be Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves".
    Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
    Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
    Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to discern, but look at 2:42)
    Though the real question is, why doesn't anybody else (in the comments) seem to notice?

    1/ The Room with Tommy Wiseau

If I had the opportunity I would be like this fellow and loading up as many as I could (films I was very fond or interested in). The differnces among those who get to have this experience is in itself sociologically very engagng to watch and compare. When will Criterion put out a DVD compilation of all of these and use it to create a masterpiece on the individuality of film and the aspects of art in movies people look for.

    I love watching these. Have a modest but cherished collection myself, maybe 20 or so titles, so far. I saw Parasite in the theater last year, bought the bluray but then saw it was being released in a Criterion Collection Director's Cut so hope to add that soon. I think Memories Of Murder is released as a Criterion next month. I have many of his films to see yet, like Mother & earlier films, but The Host was very intense and memorable years back seeing it the first time and still realistic visual effects. Parasite is phenomenal of course and Snowpiercer is not bad, especially for a more American influenced film.
