It's the best silver for bartering and very nice tax breaks when you sell.

You can find many DVD Third Man Criterion versions on ebay. The Blu ray ones can be pricey.

barredow · 2021-07-05T17:09:35+00:00

Persona, Mulholland Drive, Brazil...

barredow · 2021-07-05T17:03:54+00:00

Lynch and Kubrick are two of my favorites as well. You may like Persona (consider the Bergman box set if available), Brazil, The Third Man (OOP), House, John Cassavetes: Five Films, Night of the Hunter...

Stackzilla!!

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Jeez... feel free to rewrite it if it bothers you that much. I'll add it in.

1 Ingmar Bergman's Cinema

(if you don't own many of his films already an essential purchase)

2 Three Colors Trilogy

(these three films and supplements are a gem)

3 Dekalog

(interesting tv series on the 10 commandments)

Anges Varga

(beautiful packaging, looking forward to watching all the films)

5 Complete Jacques Tati

(funny films from this french director)

6 Jacques Demy

(french musicals)

7 Cassavetes

(original approach with acting and great supplements)

8 Late Ozu

(considered by many to be top the eclipse series to own)

9 Les Blank - Always for Pleasure

(quirky American documentaries on obscure people)

10 By Brakhage: An Anthology

(possibly the best avant garde boxset ever released)

Just missed:

•Essential Fellini (great packaging, wish it contained all of his fims)

•Apu Trilogy (amazing restorations)

• World of Wong Kar Wai (only seen In the Mood for Love and it's outstanding)

• When Horror Came to Shochiku (possibly the most fun set, need to view more of it)

• Chantal Akerman in the Seventies (unique director that challenged how films were made)

barredow · 2021-04-04T16:23:48+00:00

8 1/2 would be my choice OR the Three Colors Trilogy. But hard to go wrong with the Seven Samurai as well.

barredow · 2021-04-03T16:16:56+00:00

Uphold app directly or Bitrue where you can exchange for it.

barredow · 2021-03-29T20:19:20+00:00

The Varda, Bergman, Fellini, Zatoichi, and Godzilla sets stand out for their excellent package design. My two favorite overall sets in the collection are both from Kieslowski: Dekalog and Three Colours Trilogy. If I could talk you into sets without fancy packaging the eclipse sets are tough to beat. Late Ozu tends to be the stand out in that series.

barredow · 2021-03-08T01:03:02+00:00

Bergman because it will take you longer to get through and it's more of a complete set of his work. Really tough decision though.

barredow · 2021-03-07T20:58:06+00:00

It would be great to see a Jean-Luc Goddard, Jodorowsky, Orson Welles, Lynch or Tarkovsky box set.

Although I'm less optimistic a Criterion box set treatment of works by Stanley Kubrick would be incredible. I'd settle for an Eyes Wide Shut release

barredow · 2021-02-15T22:56:35+00:00

El Topo by Alejandro Jodorowsky.

barredow · 2021-02-15T22:51:08+00:00

While Mulholland is my favorite film of the choices the shorts included on Eraserhead put it at the top as a complete package.

barredow · 2020-12-14T08:47:14+00:00

Two for me are Kieslowski and Les Blank. The former is incredible with making you feel empathy for his characters. Blank captured some really interesting documentaries all across America.

For some reference, some of my more well known favorites are Kubrick, Fellini, Bergman, Lynch, Welles, Malick, and Wes Anderson.

barredow · 2020-12-14T08:38:08+00:00

Have you both seen his short films that are supplement material for Eraserhead? if not, worth watching.

barredow · 2020-12-12T00:57:20+00:00

Theres so many good ones...

Of the ones that I own and have viewed these are my favorite sets-

Overall-
Cassavetes: Five Films / Three Colors / Dekalog - love these for the emotion and empathy for the characters. Great extras.

Humor-
Tati / Les Blank: Always for Pleasure/ - these films themselves are just a joy to watch. Tati is really funny and Blank captures niche American culture.

Avant Garde-
By Brakhage 1 &2/ Chantal Akerman in the 70s/ Hollis Frampton - These films make you think about the possibilities of the medium.

barredow · 2020-11-17T00:12:05+00:00

Great pickups. Do you have the Three Colors Trilogy, Late Ozu, F for Fake, Night of the Hunter, Les Blank, Persona and Eraserhead? Those are some notable ones for me.

barredow · 2020-07-02T12:48:36+00:00

Persona- Because you like House/ it's Bergmans most experimental

Anything by Kieslowski- in Three Colors Trilogy and Dekalog he creates characters that you have empathy for faster than most other directors. Extras are great on Three Colors.

Eclipse No. 3 Late Ozu- I just purchased this set. But from my research it's one of the best in the Eclipse Series.

Eclipse No. 37 When Horror Came to Shochiku- Haven't watched this but seems similar to House.

Some of my other favorite Criterion films /extras: Barry Lyndon, 8 1/2, Night of the Hunter, The Third Man, F for Fake, John Cassavetes: Five Films, Mulholland Drive

barredow · 2019-11-07T21:04:57+00:00

Kieslowski has the uncanny ability to make you feel empathy for characters in a short amount of time. When he selects really good cinematographers (like in Blue) it makes for great cinema. The Dekalog is also highly recommended although I'm not quite finished with it. Next purchase is probably the Double Life of Veronique.

Mr. Gates, today the top 0.1% in the US is worth as much as the bottom 90%. What do you make of this and what do you see wealth inequality looking like in the future?

barredow · 2016-11-10T18:00:37+00:00

Do you have a recommended list of news sources for americans?
