Criterion Collection

[Tazz]

Want to start your Criterion Collection and dont know where to start?
Here's a 208 title set (no Out Of Print titles of course).

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006A05RM/103-4279908-2486267

Who's getting this now?

[SamsoniteDelilah]

:rotlf:
Sign me up for TWO!

[Zeiken]

I might have some spare cash in my couch.....umm......yeah, i think i have a few bucks to spare on that. ;)

[jrs]

Even if I had money, are you nuts?????????? You gotta be totally out of your mind to spend that much on DVDs.

[Tolstoy]

I already own a lot of those, I was thinking of buying one of those huge lots on ebay for similar prices but I already own too many to make it worthwhile costwise. I could of course sell the duplicates but I dont really sell stuff so it seems like too much hassle.

As for why someone would buy it, I am a pretty avid dvd collector, and the Criterion Collection is probably the best set that you can buy. Many of the greatest directors of all time have all their best movies exclusive (unless you count crap foreign releases) to Criterion. If I didnt already own a bit over 100 of them, I would snatch it up ina second. Ive already probably spent pretty close to $5000 just getting the ones I have got, of course that includes a couple of higher-priced out of print dvds.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

... If I didnt already own a bit over 100 of them, I would snatch it up ina second...
G'head and buy it and send the duplicates to me. No hassles! ;)

[Tolstoy]

G'head and buy it and send the duplicates to me. No hassles! ;)

Whats your address? The box may be ticking, dont worry though, that is just the Phantom dvd I packaged along with the collection.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

heh! :D

[jrs]

I also have my own handful of Criterion DVDs. Naturally the CC contains great films by great directors so each DVD has a certain quality to them.

But to spend over $5,000 at once on something to where you could do something worthwhile with it..... I mean come on now.

I am a HUGE movie/DVD fanatic and on a lucky day back in the good ol' days, the limit for me at once was at the most a boxed set for $70-100.

[Zeiken]

Ive always been a collector, of various things, (action figures, comics, women's clothing) and ive found its a lot more satisfying to do it piece by piece. ;)

[Tazz]

I don't own any CC DVDs.

But i was going purchase my first one in Dec when Fritz Lang's M comes out on CC or i was going buy Brazil when it becomes cheaper (As if).

Spending 5,000 on DVDs at once is crazy! I could get a pretty decent Plasma HDTV for that much. I'm going pass on this offer.

[SpoOkY]

......yeah me too, I'll pass on spending that much money on somebody else's favourite movies. I'd much prefer to slowly choose my own collection that I love and know everything about. Just my thoughts :)

[Zeiken]

I could get a pretty decent Plasma HDTV for that much.

dude- i've always wanted a plasma TV- but they dont work at my altitude. it sucks.

Here's a picture of what you've be getting!

Wish i had $5,200 to spend!

[Garrett]

Damn! If I had $5200 laying around I'd get it. Do they send it all in one shipment, I wonder... shipping alone would be expensive. Then again, if I'm spending 5200 dollars, I better get free shipping.

What no ROBOCOP, SID & NANCY, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and THIS IS SPINAL TAP?

[jrs]

What no ROBOCOP, SID & NANCY, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and THIS IS SPINAL TAP?


I agree. The collection ain't complete without those. Especially the last 2.

[Anonymous Last]

I agree. The collection ain't complete without those. Especially the last 2.

They should knock off a couple of G's for that. No?

[Garrett]

What no ROBOCOP, SID & NANCY, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and THIS IS SPINAL TAP?

All out of print, my friend.

[Holden Pike]

They should knock off a couple of G's for that. No?

No. As they are out-of-print, they'd have to add a couple G's if all the OOP titles were included too. They sell for hundreds of dollars each on eBay and the like.

[OG-]

Finding and spending the money to buy that isn't as much of an issue as finding and spending the time to watch it all is.

[iluv2viddyfilms]

Crazy.

I only own three from them, Rebecca and Straw Dogs, which are both out of print and Contempt.

Holden once explained to me why each Criterion DVD was so expensive, because they have to buy the rights to distribute the films from the studios, but still $30-$40 for one movie is too much. Unless of course you find them cheaper, usually from ebay.

[Holden Pike]

These are the Criterion DVDs I already own (I think it's a complete list)...

Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Spartacus, 3 Women, Traffic, Schizopolis, The Naked Kiss, Shock Corridor, Pickup on South Street, The Element of Crime, Sullivan’s Travels, The Lady Eve, Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, Red Beard, Sanjuro, Ikiru, Stray Dog, The Adventures of Antoine Dionel boxed set, Do the Right Thing, Band of Outsiders, Contempt, A Woman is a Woman, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Rules of the Game, Bob le Flambeur, Le Circle Rouge, The Battle of Algiers, Silence of the Lambs, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Straw Dogs, Kwaidan, Carl Th. Dreyer boxed set, The Leopard, Solaris, Andrei Rublev, Loves of a Blonde, The Fireman’s Ball, The Vanishing, Insomnia, The Seventh Seal, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Cleo from 5 to 7, Diabolique, Man Bites Dog, The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp, The Ruling Class, Naked Lunch, Videodrome, The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, The Honeymoon Killers, The Killers (1946 & 1964), The Third Man, Hopscotch, Charade, My Man Godfrey, The Devil & Daniel Webster, Down by Law, The Horse’s Mouth, Gimme Shelter The Complete Monterey Pop Festival, ”Fishing with John”, Hearts & Minds, Grey Gardens, The Indiscretion of an American Wife/Terminal Station, All That Heaven Allows, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and the John Cassavetes boxed set.

And that's not even counting all the Criterion Colection LDs I have...

SE7EN, The Game, BladeRunner, Notorious, Rebecca, Lolita, Secret Honor, "Tanner '88", The Player, Short Cuts, Trainspotting, Crash, Peeping Tom, BlowUp, Breaking the Waves, Damage, Shine, Crimes & Misdemeanors, Bodies Rest & Motion, Five Corners, The Return of Martin Guerre, SuperCop, The Asphalt Jungle, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese through American Movies, Stranger Than Paradise, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian, Time Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Yojimbo, High & Low, Dodes ka-den, Oliver Twist, Ghostbusters, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, Chasing Amy, Boogie Nights, Silverado and Sling Blade



So I don't think I'll be buying the set from Amazon.

[Sedai]

I have a number of CC releases, but nothing like this set, or Holden's magnificent collection... Holden, what were your thoughts on the Renoir film's quality? I have this on my wish list but I keep waffling on whether to get it or not...

[Holden Pike]

I haven't purchased The Grand Illusion, so I can't attest to its quality (though I have rented it before, and I don't recall being unimpressed by the transfer), but The Rules of the Game is fantastic, and is also a gi-normous 2-disc package with lots of great extras. It's a must-have.

Yes, that's the one I had in my mitts the other day... Looked like a great set, but most CC sets are...I guess I shall pick it up next time.

And that's not even counting all the Criterion Colection LDs I have...

... Boogie Nights ...

How is Terminal Station ? I've just seen the short 70 minute version on TCM one night, loved it though.

And whaaaaa???? you own a *gasp* PTA film ??!!!!!

[Holden Pike]

How is Terminal Station ? I've just seen the short 70 minute version on TCM one night, loved it though.

Di Sica's cut (Terminal Station) is much better than Selznick's (Indescretion of an American Wife). Selznick's version completely excises the emotional core of Jennifer Jones' character. If you liked the short version (73 mins.), you have to see Di Sica's (89 mins.). Fifteen minutes cut out of a film that isn't quite an hour and a half long to begin with is actually quite drastic. Especially the choices Selznick made.



And whaaaaa???? you own a *gasp* PTA film ??!!!!!

Two. I also have Punch-Drunk Love on DVD.

[Holden Pike]

FYI

Over at the Criterion Collection's own website, www.criteriondvd.com (http://www.criteriondvd.com), they're having a special sale of four of their OOP titles - while supplies last: Rebecca, Spellbound, Notorious and Straw Dogs.

[gummo]

:skeptical: good lord

Maybe if I could choose what I am getting. I think I would just stick with one of those buy 10 movies for a penny deals.

You can choose what you want...out of the Criterion Collection. With the 10 for a penny deal, you get such classics as Legally Blonde II, and The Santa Clause IX.

I believe that's complete.

[MovieMaker5087]

Oh, $5,000, eh? Let me go pull off some 20's and 10's off the ol' money tree...

or you can just bend over and I can pull out.

Whichever you prefer.

Let's be honest: Who in (Insert your religous god's name here)'s name would buy this? And let's be practical on this one. There's only certain films I like from them; I wouldn't waste my well-earned money on that. Sorry, but that's just me.

[Ezikiel]

The Adventures of Antoine Dionel boxed set (The 400 Blows, Stolen Kisses, Bed & Board, Love on the Run and "Antione & Colette").
Does the Box-set actually include The 400 Blows, because it's an Out of Print title, isn't it?

[Holden Pike]

Does the Box-set actually include The 400 Blows, because it's an Out of Print title, isn't it?

Their original disc of The 400 Blows is out-of-print. But yes, it is included in the Doinel boxed set. As I said. As are all the other films I mentioned. Plus an extra disc that has an 18-minute Truffaut short called "Les Mistons" (The Mischief Makers) that preceeds 400 Blows by a couple years, and "Working with François Truffaut" a 2003 44-minute documentary that includes interviews with his sometimes co-writers Claude de Givray & Bernard Revon. That bonus disc also has a bunch of interviews and documentary snippets of Truffaut talking about his work over the years. There's also a 72-page booklet reprinting many essays and interviews.

The Adventures of Antione Doinel and Cassavetes Five Films are easily their two best boxed sets yet. And Gilliam's Brazil remains their best edition of a single film...though last year's The Battle of Algiers is pretty frippin' spectacular too.

[Tazz]

So Holden which one's did you get for Christmas?


I'm considering ordering 8½ (d. Federico Fellini), anyone recommend it?

[Holden Pike]

Yeah, somehow I haven't yet acquired 81/2. Just an oversight of circumstance. I'll correct it one day. I did buy it as a gift for somebody once...damn, what was I thinking? I should have kept it! It's a good two-disc set of a great movie.


The discs I got for Christmas gifts this year were Rififi, I Vitelloni, Fanny & Alexander (boxed set with the theatrical and TV versions as well as a third supplemental disc), The Lower Depths (Renoir & Kurosawa versions) and Short Cuts - the last of which I couldn't resist even though I have it on LaserDisc too (a few new supplements on the DVD I just had to have).

[Ezikiel]

I'm considering ordering 8½ (d. Federico Fellini), anyone recommend it?
Yes, definately. But as far as Fellini films are concerned, I prefered La Strada and Amarcord over 8½, but as a DVD itself, 8½ is the best one.

[Sinny McGuffins]

Does anyone know what the difference is between a first printing and a second printing?

[Ezikiel]

Just thought I'd put a wishlist for the next Criterion DVD's I'm hoping to get in the next few months:
Schizopolis
Kagemusha
Jules and Jim
Fighting Elegy
Fanny and Alexander
A Story of Floating Weeds/Floating Weeds
The Adventures of Antoine Doinel Box-Set
Contempt
Red Beard
Wrong Men & Notorious Women: Five Hitchcock Thrillers Box-Set

[Holden Pike]

I did finally pick up 81/2 in recent weeks, as well as the new discs of My Own Private Idaho and Jules Dassin's Night & the City and Theives' Highway. Plus a couple older ones too. I've updated me list.

[Sedai]

Night and the City....I really want to see this. My next to criterion purchases will be

Renoir's The Rules of the Game

Tarkovsky's Solaris

Not got so many, I have to get them shipped over from the USA to Blighty. I find myself wandering around UK stores and just buying lots of "normal" dvds here.

I have got:

Armageddon (for the wife, not me. I decided if she wanted it I would at least get the CC edition)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Shock Corridor
The Life Aquatic
Naked Lunch ;)
The Last Temptation of Christ

Waiting for the Cassavetes boxset to arrive.

I now also have Seven Samurai and Robocop to add to my list above. I am trying to get a copy of Straw Dogs but aren't too keen on paying silly Ebay prices for it.

**edit**

Got it now :cool:

I only own Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Alphaville, Videodrome and...oh, I think that's it.

I'm planning on getting 8 1/2, La Strada, High & Low (all of which I own "regular" versions of) and that Kurosawa box set (have only seen Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress of that set).

Does anyone own the Crash :Criterion Collection ?

Hey! So, I love the criterion collection as much as anybody, but I'm just wondering if anyone out there has the same misgivings about it lately as I do.
For one thing, they sure releasing a LOT of movies lately. It seems that every couple of weeks, a few new titles get released, which I think is fantastic, especially since now that they've exhausted more of the better known classics, they're digging deeper into the more obscure stuff (as many DVD production companies are doing these days, I suppose), but sometimes I wonder if all of this stuff is really that important, or classic. I mean, there are the obvious ones like Armageddon, The Rock, the Beastie Boys Video Anthology, and Chasing Amy, which are more or less a mystery to me. But also, I feel that they also make some pretty odd choices that aren't patently silly. For example, the fact that the last three (which means all but one) of Wes Anderson's movies got not only Criterion releases, but pretty much instantaeous Criterion releases. Shouldn't there be some sort of non-Criterion dvd out there of The Life Aquatic? The movie's fun, and all, but how important is this movie, really? Is the Darjeeling Limited going to be released right onto Criterion also? I definitely am very excited about several of their latest releases, like "If...," "Night on Earth," "Mala Noche," and "Solo con tu pareja." But, do we really need these sorts of what seems to me like unneccessary attention paid, sometimes to movies that already exist on dvd, when there are so many wonderful movies that have barely gotten vhs releases, let alone dvd. It seems like a kind of crime that The Royal Tennenbaums would get an instantaneous release and House of Games will get a the Criterion treatment even with a DVD of it already existing, while films like "Red Desert" barely exist on tape....
Anyone else have any confusion as to the Criterion gang's decisions in the past few years?

How do they deliver that? Through the post?
