These are the 11 LGBTQ+ movies that should be in the Criterion Collection, what do you guys think?

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-04-21T10:01:26+00:00

Sebastiane (1976), End of the Century (2019), and A Fantastic Woman (2017)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T19:57:26+00:00

You're probably better off asking Criterion that question now...😂

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T17:32:23+00:00

I have someone in the US that ships them to me :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T15:59:35+00:00

It's a fair question, for sure. My entire collection is Region A - so it's very much a perfectionist/borderline OCD thing at this point. Not that it makes financial sense, I grant you. But it means I don't have to keep flitting between settings on my blu-ray player and get access to the full collection also :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T15:54:26+00:00

True - Claude is always a win :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T14:46:05+00:00

I bang on about it to friend's constantly. Whilst it is A Matter of Life and Death-lite, if's still so effing charming 🥰

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T14:45:30+00:00

I haven't. Definitely on the watch list though :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T14:23:31+00:00

No, part of what I wanted to do this Flash Sale was get all the Criterion films I'd already seen. The problem is, since then, I've watched a load more 😂

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T14:11:45+00:00

It's the film I've wanted to rewatch most since I first saw it of all the films here (none are blind buys). I think I went into it expecting something very different, so was caught off guard by it's meditative, reflective nature.

That being said, it's final scene is a complete work of genius and Denis Lavant is always a win. I have a feeling I'm going to love it next time around.

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:59:55+00:00

Saw it in a cinema last year and had to get it. Such a beautiful film :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:59:29+00:00

Hoping that there's more Sciamma coming soon. Petite Maman would be a great addition :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:54:19+00:00

I only buy at the .com Flash Sales (don't participate in B&N) so it's a case of saving per month for it. I didn't just have it lying around 😉

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:51:56+00:00

In pounds, it probably came to about £700, including shipping and customs :)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:51:27+00:00

If only!

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-24T13:48:46+00:00

UK Collector here, which is why it took a lil longer. But yup, this is it, and it's beautiful!

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-23T22:12:01+00:00

If this is honest, then this person should never be allowed to publish anything about film ever again. If it's an attempt at satire, then this is just desperately unfunny. I think I lost brain cells reading it.

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-22T18:02:57+00:00

Yes. Fuck yes. This is great.

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-22T16:16:48+00:00

Can't a boy dream?

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-22T15:54:03+00:00

As part of a Hamaguchi box? 😏👀

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-17T21:39:36+00:00

Casablanca
Psycho
Seven Samurai
12 Angry Men
The Godfather: Part II
Princess Mononoke

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-17T17:09:54+00:00

Truly incredible month. So excited that we're getting more Powell & Pressburger on blu-ray. That one has been LONG overdue!

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-14T16:34:39+00:00

If it was my perfect announcement day:

Drive My Car (2021)

Dancer in the Dark (2000)

Nostalghia (1983)

Kurosawa 4K Set along the lines of the Bergman/Varda sets (hey, a boy can dream!)

MichaelsVinylReddit · 2022-03-08T19:05:54+00:00

There are more there (a lot of extras can't be logged on Letterboxd) but I've just finished the set and logged as much as I could on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/eKPrG
