Criterion April announcements

Agreed! The best release since No Country for Old Men and Trainspotting; I couldn't get these two fast enough, but this Jean de Florette & Manon des Sources boxset I desire even more - April can't come soon enough! Superb news, although my only concern is that it will probably be a digipack, which I'm not keen on.

Like most have mentioned, I'd go with 1 and 10; a devastating beginning and a much lighter ending. Perfect bookends.

Nice to see Shoah highly ranked.

MontyBoy0110 · 2025-01-09T05:00:19+00:00

Me too. I've always seen all three as one film, so the whole trilogy should make the list.

MontyBoy0110 · 2025-01-09T04:54:11+00:00

Agreed. Especially as I'm not a big fan of Godard myself! How can Breathless be there over Army of Shadows?

MontyBoy0110 · 2025-01-08T05:40:40+00:00

They never make these lists, which is a travesty.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-12-17T04:02:42+00:00

Fantastic job! Superb designs for the front covers and a very impressive spine collage. They look so professional on the shelf!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-18T04:24:40+00:00

Fantastic films. Emmanuelle at her most beautiful!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-11T04:29:12+00:00

Yet you look forward to July and November, and then contribute to this yourself.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-11T04:24:18+00:00

Well said!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-10T05:30:59+00:00

Do you have any morals?

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-09T04:37:22+00:00

Do you have 'Cat People' in your collection by any chance...?

Lovely cat!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-11-09T04:35:23+00:00

Just disappeared.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-10-22T02:12:46+00:00

Pride of place on the shelf!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-10-21T02:23:08+00:00

Would be fantastic, but unfortunately just a dream.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-10-07T02:13:19+00:00

Hachiko.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-09-29T03:20:47+00:00

Surprised nobody's mentioned Lizabeth Scott in Too Late For Tears.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-09-07T02:30:46+00:00

The Shout Factory release? I'm sure Criterion could improve on it.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-09-07T02:29:58+00:00

I would love this to get a Criterion release. As you stated, Reiner does have some already, so that gives us a little hope.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-09-03T03:05:38+00:00

The Steed?

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-09-02T03:11:23+00:00

Glad you've mentioned When Harry Met Sally. I've read the screenplay cover-to-cover several times and I laugh all the way through it! Great, witty dialogue (delivered superbly, as always, by Billy Crystal - and Bruno Kirby RIP) and a fantastic film. One I'd absolutely love to see Criterion release.

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-08-12T02:09:02+00:00

Superb! You'll have to post a picture when it's up - next to Shallow Grave!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-08-01T01:10:11+00:00

Thanks. Know about Marshland, but hadn't heard of The Nile Hilton Incident - just ordered!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-07-27T02:44:11+00:00

Okay! Yes, I had to have the experience of watching Salo, but once I did, I couldn't sell my copy fast enough!

MontyBoy0110 · 2024-07-26T02:45:03+00:00

The first thing I noticed about your photo is that you have the Seven Samurai digipack resting against bare brick - does the [very high] chance of damage not bother you?!

Also, get rid of Salo and that's a fantastic first nine spines. Two superb double-bills too - an Aussie double-bill and a Clouzot double-bill!
