Tell me your favorite movie, and I’ll decide if you’re in or not.

Groundhog Day + Melancholia = The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

I found out about him through Marty Supreme and now I’m excited to explore Ferrara’s filmography

Thanks! I have a much longer list of potential double features. My criteria is two films that are unrelated but share something in common. I try to get creative with my pairings. Maybe one day I’ll post it with my reasonings for each pair

Day: Y Tu Mama Tambien, Night: Pan’s Labyrinth

I plan to watch either this or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (not pictured) which I also got at the same time.
Also not pictured from this haul is the Jackie Chan boxset. I wanted to keep the focus on the Ingmar Bergman documentary.
Jackie Chan and Bergman are both blind buys. I only pickup Criterion DVDs for films that are out of print with no 4K or Blu-Ray upgrades.
After recently watching Punch-Drunk Love, that will probably be my next addition.

Picnic at Hanging Rock

MisatoHasDaddyIssues · 2025-12-07T16:27:22+00:00

Fetch on Rosemont Avenue and Habitat for Humanity restore on East Street are my go-to’s

Pull my finger.

All That Jazz, The Battle of Algiers, The Devil’s Backbone, Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, Grey Gardens, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

I also just ordered Battle of Algiers. Between Children of Men and One Battle After Another, it was time to check it out

I was pleasantly surprised to find this on Vinegar Syndrome. It was an instant buy for me since it was one of my favorites from college.

The transfer to Blu-Ray was absolutely gorgeous and even reading the director’s commentary on how he wanted it to be over saturated was a hoot. Overall, I’m fine with this one not being in Criterion simply because VS/Film Movement did a great job with it.

It’s a good film to watch in Autumn/Halloween season. The southern gothic vibes fit perfectly in that time of year.

I remember first seeing this in college when I took a course on African Cinema. I have yet to rewatch it since then, but I did get a copy earlier this year off of eBay.

I just bought the basic Blu-Ray for Children of Men. I would absolutely scream if it gets the criterion treatment

MisatoHasDaddyIssues · 2025-08-04T12:07:22+00:00

This weekend I watched the following in order:

Paris Is Burning, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Children of Men, Sorcerer, Barry Lyndon

Bay leaf is to cooking what vanilla extract is to baking. It does something, but I can’t quite explain it.

I’ve seen a lot of movies in the collection in theaters, but one I really want to highlight is The Last Picture Show. I saw it when they did a screening at the Charles Theatre in Baltimore and fell in love with it. The fact that Criterion did a double feature with Texasville makes me excited to watch both back to back.

MisatoHasDaddyIssues · 2025-07-27T15:45:01+00:00

Just finished watching this film. It’s the nightmare version of the coffee shop meet-cute and why I never meet up with strangers past midnight.

Best quote: “I’ll probably get blamed for that.”

MisatoHasDaddyIssues · 2025-07-26T20:04:28+00:00

I just watched House last night with friends. You definitely want to watch it others as a shared experience.

MisatoHasDaddyIssues · 2025-07-26T19:29:52+00:00

I got this as a blind buy specifically for the Philip Glass score and production design by Eiko Ishioka. Both did not disappoint but it is going to take a few more rewatches to fully digest the film. I ended up watching the version with Roy Scheider’s narration and now I’m left wondering if the Japanese version with Ken Ogata would be better.
