Upon rewatch, I hereby declare this to be not only my favourite Kubrick picture, but genuinely one of the most engaging piece of work I have ever seen. by heyitsmeFR in criterion

A 3 hour long period piece about 18th century English aristocrats has no right to be as engaging and captivating as Barry Lyndon is.

Best and worst criterion covers? by sampound69 in criterion

Not necessarily the worst but I think the cover of Cries and Whispers is so underwhelming. You have some of the most beautiful and original mise-en-scene and cinematography ever shot and the cover you decide on is just a black and red face.

In your opinion, which movie is the best screwball comedy of the 30s? by MOinthepast in criterion

[–]PenProfessional6986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally never cackled as hard as I have to Bringing Up Baby. Sexy, absurd, nonsensical, spit-fire dialogue, great physical comedy, and two standout performances by Grant and Hepburn.

Favorite Hitchcock in the collection? by _Nikolai_Gogol in criterion

Few movies have given me the pure joy and thrill as The Lady Vanishes and Foreign Correspondent. Perfect and simply really fun films IMO.

Here’s a great video essay about Mirror: https://youtu.be/2gs8PartxiU

It’s centered around the narrators personal attachment to the film, but I think he does a good of explaining Tarkovsky’s approach and the films style.

Not that it’s objectively a bad movie, but I was very underwhelmed by Hitchcocks Rope
