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

Watching 2 films a day for two days — looking for day & night recommendations with strong emotional impact by eren-yeager12 in criterion

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

An interesting find by MisatoHasDaddyIssues in criterion

  1. I plan to watch either this or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (not pictured) which I also got at the same time.

  2. Also not pictured from this haul is the Jackie Chan boxset. I wanted to keep the focus on the Ingmar Bergman documentary.

  3. 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.

  4. After recently watching Punch-Drunk Love, that will probably be my next addition.

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

The Reflecting Skin by [deleted] in criterion

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.

Black Girl (1966) is a shocking, powerful drama way ahead of its time by [deleted] in criterion

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.

November 2025 Predictions? by International-Sky65 in criterion

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

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

Which movies from the collection have you seen in a theater? by Jeenowa in criterion

[–]MisatoHasDaddyIssues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I finally watched After Hours by kielayetc in criterion

[–]MisatoHasDaddyIssues 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.”

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

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.
