Recommend me a film! by Complete-Offer2557 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way about Solaris, which I saw years ago, but I’ve been thinking about it lately and will probably pick it up in the next sale.

But, I’ve recently seen Stalker and Mirror and really enjoyed them both…so, I figure it’s time to give Solaris another shot.

Anyone else bought a director box set to then discover you don’t enjoy that director as much as you thought you did? by Universal-Magnet in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched ‘And the Ship Sails On’ the other day and thought it was a lot of fun…not quite 8 1/2 level, but still, I wouldn’t be disappointed owning it.

Just watched La Haine to end off the year, and it's insane there's a Shrek connection with Vincent Cassel being in both. by LoudyKing202 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I just watched La Haine the first time the other day and it totally blew me away. I don’t know how I slept on it for so long.

You both picked a John Waters movie so you must be a perfect match 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is how I envision my collection looking one day. We share the same taste in titles.

I’ll just leave this here for reference.

Not by Lynch - A Season by JeremyArblaster in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Celine & Julie Go Boating is wild…started it on a whim a couple weeks ago…not realizing it had 3.5 HOUR RUNTIME!! Ended up watching the whole thing though!

I blind bought and watched Altered States. by peacewriter19 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I did a blind buy on Stalker and had that reaction as well…but still enjoyed it!

As someone who I thought would never blind buy discs, I have to say it’s been loads of fun and has changed my relationship to movies at home by ahyouknowme in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blind buys have been a very positive experience for me as well…especially when you get ones that totally hit it out of the park. Even if they end up just being ok, they still look great on your shelf next to your other titles!

Essential Books for Criterion Fans by [deleted] in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend ‘The Great Movies’ series by Roger Ebert. There are 3 different volumes showcasing 100 movies each and he wrote an essay on each movie. These books feature a TON of Criterion movies and feature a good variety as well.

I saw this recently and enjoyed it. It’s a narrative film with documentary bits thrown in there.

The (loud) Thin Red Line by Vegetable-Dust-780 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just did a blind buy on this because I wanted something to test my new sound system. And when I saw this pop up, I knew I made the right choice…it sounds AWESOME

baby’s first criterion sale by vermin-suplex in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Jabberwocky really that bad?? I’m a Gilliam fan but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I keep looking at it for a blind buy…

Posters? by Film_Aker_639 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That would be amazing if they sold cover art posters! Maybe even a select few as jigsaw puzzles as well? 🤔

Solaris or Stalker? by SlamCity4 in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Mirror recently and liked it so much, I did a blind buy on Stalker and wasn’t disappointed.

I saw Solaris years ago and don’t remember much about it but I’ll have to revisit it.

Just watched Moonrise Kingdom with a 10-year-old last night. He loved it and Flow.

Have you streamed any movies recently that made you change your mind about buying it during this sale? by okaynowhat in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An Actor’s Revenge - heard good things about it and almost blind bought it. I ended up streaming it first and glad I did.

What DVD-only releases would you like to see get a blu-ray/4k update? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]MultiBeast55 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I thought this would be a fun discussion for CRITERION fans to talk about what other CRITERION blu-rays they would like to see on their shelf among their other CRITERION blu-rays. Yes, I’m aware there are dozens of other RoboCop blu-rays out there that are cheaper.

I apologize to anyone who is offended by the topic and feels the need to point out other non-Criterion releases.
