I like his move at the end. Everybody should have to end these videos by grabbing something that they haven't seen before.
Great idea. Make it a New Feature @criterion
And he picked Kagemusha, the Akira Kurosawa movie he made just before Ran. Well worth watching.
I like that.
I think it was isabel sandoval who also did it and that was a decent while ago now. I said it then too, its a cool move
His anecdote on The Piano Teacher is hilarious
🤣🤣seriously
Just the mental image of an innocent family watching as Isabelle Huppert digs into the tissue bin at the peep booth
i did a spit take 💦
It gives me Bill Hader describing Salo vibes 😭😭😭😭
Salò is a family film
"The Piano Teacher...it's not a comedy."
One of the most understated statements ever.
I would love to have been in the room when the family settled down for a viewing of The Piano Teacher.
Dan levy's picks is the MOST real and down to earth picks I've seen on this channel. No pretentiousness or faux intellectualism, just confessions of formerly being a faux intellectual movie store clerk and infectious smirk and laugh.
"Her time. Our time? My time?"
Dan Levy is an elder millennial icon
Dan Levy is a godsend! He's so delightful and his picks are amazing! His shoutout to Parker Posey makes me love him even more!
That tribute to Sophia Coppola was pretty cool
I love the guests that just pick a feature out of random in the end. It speaks to a certain appetite of being inspired by whatever comes their way.
And just happens to pick one that Wim Wenders just selected (I just watched the Wenders one)
We're all playing catch-up with movies we should have watched, or paid better attention to.
What a great Sofia Coppola story.
So charming, and funny! Love Daniel's personal anecdotes as he presents each film he's selected. I enjoyed like heck his movie "Good Grief." It's beautiful and heartfelt. Thanks to Mr. Levy and Criterion for this video.
When I saw Parker Posie in "party girl" that was it!! I was hooked🤤😍🤤😍
Election is an underrated movie. I have turned so many people on to that brilliant black comedy. I own Moonstruck as well. And agree with him about Parker Posey. I am hoping we'll get a Party Girl criterion selection soon.
Blind picked a kurosawa, sofia coppolla sent him champagne, its like the cinema gods are smiling on him😅
Kurosawa, top 3 or 4 filmmakers ever.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists For sure! I just got the dvd of stray dog, watched it 3 times already. That one really needs a blu ray
Damn I’m really vibing with Dan’s Picks here. A great mix of indie darlings, art picks, and foreign films. Loved his show “Schitt’s Creek” and can’t wait to see some of this film influence carry into his movie “Good Grief”.
I watched The Piano Teacher with my mother once. Thanks for the recommendation, Levy.
not me choking on my breakfast while he recounts recommending The Piano Teacher to families.
same!!!!
Like "It's about a piano teacher. How edgy this could really be, common..." LOL
Amazing actor. Incredible talent, and an all around lovable person! Loved Schitt’s Creek, loved Good
Grief. Keep it coming!
Love how he closes his eyes and just picks the last one, more people should do that.
Dan is absolutely adorable, unique , talented . Amazing actor and writer . Good grief was amazing !
I absolutely love Moonstruck. It never gets old. What a great pick.
Dan, thank you for starting with Moonstruck. It’s perfect, and I love that you love it too!
He's so WELL-SPOKEN here. He explained everything well clearly. Really audience friendly.
I was so thrilled when The Daytrippers finally got a proper DVD release a few years ago, that entire cast is wonderful (yes, I have always been a massive fan of Parker Posey as well, but the late great Anne Meara gives such a towering performance of both comedy and drama in that too).
That discussion has Liev Schrieber has w/ someone near the end reminds of the “uhb” talk w/ an attentive listener during Metropolitan.
all time movie dad played by Pat McNamara in that movie.
"Yes, Mrs. Castorini, I would LOVE some oatmeal." has got to be the best delivered line in comedy. Also a huge Moonstruck fan.
It's really fun to find out someone you already respect has great taste in film, it's that perfect cherry on top
Oh, Dan. You and I could sit and watch Moonstruck and do every line together. I have it memorized. LOVE IT.
I had a very similar experience with a film class in which our screenings were at 9am on a Monday, resulting in a very sleepy viewing of The Spirit of the Beehive. Our screening of Martyrs, however, was difficult to sleep through
I actually watched 'Weekend' just the other day and Dan is right. It is in its own small way a remarkable film. The director Andrew Haigh's new film 'All of us strangers' has just come out and I'm now very excited to see it.
His film 45 Years is also amazing. It’s centred around an old, long term married heterosexual couple, so in some ways the opposite to the two gay men of Weekend who have only just met, but both done incredibly sensitively. Nothing over the top and very real and believable characters. Haigh is a very talented director!
Just saw All of us Strangers. A beautiful and moving film, with Andrew Scott incredible in the lead role. Bring tissues. Made me cry more than any film in a long time!
Weekend is one of my favourite queer films. All of Us Strangers is beautiful and devastating.
I just watched 45 years and I did love it too. He just locks the camera off and lets the actors go for it.@@mostynf
Could've watched this for 40 minutes and just listen to him talk about films.
Absolutely loved Good Grief! Well done sir 🎉👏🏻🎬
Reese Witherspoon had already assembled quite an eclectic filmography by the time she starred in Election (1999). One of my personal favorites is Freeway (1996).
Man in the Moon - outstanding performance for someone so young. But yeah Freeway is gritty/grimy as heck.
Thank you for talking about Andrew Haigh's brilliant "Weekend". In fact all of Haigh's movies are worthwhile, something I couldn't say about many other directors. Currently he's getting much-deserved attention for "All of Us Strangers". See that too.
I'm curious as to if you've seen "Beautiful Thing"? There's a strong case to be made that "Weekend" is the adult sequel to it. There's so many nods and winks but it's a delightful film in and of itself.
Goddamn I love Moonstruck. And that's a recent love because I've only ever seen bits of it over the years.
And goddamn, if a film ever has "feel" - from the music, to the lighting, to the way it's shot, to the folley, to the performances - it's Moonstruck. Just outstanding.
Will be watching Moonstruck tonight!
I love him! This was so great and it confirms that I should go back and watch all of Parker Posey's films. 💖
Moonstruck …. I just love him. And The Piano Teacher - “gosh, it packs a punch.” 😂😂😂
I LOVE that one of Dan's favorite films is "Love & Basketball". Great movie!
Just got 'Kagemusha' on DVD. This inspired me to see it again. Saw it in the '80's. Indelible, hugely entertaining, a brilliant masterpiece, really unforgettable.
I watched Election about 100 times and never got tired of it!
I had my Film History screenings at 9am as well. Almost always fell asleep. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks Dan!!
+1 Moonstruck.
I loved hearing his story about Sofia Coppola. Wonderful!
this is one of the best closet videos. great stories. great picks.
So many great movie picks. So happy you mentioned Election as that is one of my favorites that isn’t talked about enough.
I wrote down the ones on Dan Levy's closet list that I've not seen because I fully appreciated that first pick, which is one of my favorites. Yes, I surprise friends when I admonish them for not seeing Moonstruck or Pretty Woman, but both have dialogue I enjoy immensely. My own recommendation? GODZILLA MINUS ONE, the first Godzilla film I ever watched. Thankfully I was gifted a full year of Criterion Channel on my birthday last month -- BEST GIFT EVER!!! -- so I took the time to see the original Godzilla and then returned to the local AMC to watch Minus One again. Verdict? Even better the second time, and the non-Godzilla-fan with me was impressed -- and he cried 3x, too, on the same parts that got me during both viewings. THANK YOU, CRITERION, both for these marvelous moments in the closet and your channel, which I now recommend to everyone. PS: Please roll out a referral program so we can spread the word and both parties are incentivized...hmm, not sure that's a real word, but you get the idea. A free month for them, a free set of 4x6 postcards for us -- DVD covers from your collection -- which can be sent in a basic envelope via USPS for the cost of a first-class stamp. Just throwing out ideas, hope others chime in below!
His Sophia Coppola story just gave me chills. So sweet 🥹❤
Dan..Dan Dan..so excited you are talking about Moonstruck. I was a Background Actor on that film. Whoa Who...go Dan!
One day, someone will pick Portrait of a Lady on Fire as their Criterion collection. That person will be my favorite to be on this series.
Many thanks to Dan! 🌕 I really enjoyed GOOD GRIEF (2023), by the way. ෴ I hope you get to speak in depth with Sofia someday.
Parker Posey, yes!
Those glasses and sweater combo is a home run.
I could watch him talk all day ❤ Also, this film selection is so down to earth yet thoughtful! Great picks
Sofia was one of the first directors I ever interviewed! I’ve interviewed her three times now! But the first was for Virgin Suicides, which is her most personal film. Her brother Gian-Carlo was killed in a horrific boat accident in 1986. The book helped her reconcile his death as a teenager. 🤍
That's amazing! I love me some Sofia movies
Screening a movie in a morning class is so true (and night classes for that matter). Playing catch up too lol
This was so special and wonderful
the BEST closet pick so far!!!
Appearing on this show is definitely my bucket list.
Love and Basketball is one of my faves too ❤
I saw Kagumusha at the Ckay Theater San Francisco on the evening of Monday, December 8, 1980. As the end credits rolled, I was told John Lennon had been shot..... Can't forget that.
Dan Levy is awesome! I want him to review everything he’s seen in the CC!!!
Nice picks. Some films on the list for some reason I've stopped and thought and didn't do. Mostly just not in the mood for the subject matter. Which perhaps happens to us when we get older (anybody else over 50 think this also?). I remember years back living in NYC would always be at an art house cinema just thinking 'enlighten me'. I might just return and watch those now. Dan is such a s sweet and genuine guy. I would have watched the Piano Teacher if I had not already done so and and stumbled into the video store he worked at.
dan, you cheeky, cheeky guy. this was great.
You make Canadians proud!!
Outstanding picks!
THANK YOU for this!! Sending you and all the criterion closet members a box of champagne after this video!
The Daytrippers is one of my absolute favorites, and Parker Posey is the best actor living. So glad he shouted her out.
Luv luv luv this performer ….😊
Speaking of non-family-friendly movies.........My friend Duane, who was around 50 years old at the time, was hosting a visit by his parents. They were in their 70's. They were at the Blockbuster and he saw a movie that looked like it might be appropriate for them all to watch. A while into the film, things started to happen that were making everyone a bit nervous. These were Swedes. His parents were people who would make Surströmming every year at the holidays. So, they're watching this movie, and things become very uncomfortable for Duane. But his parents are being extremely polite, and continue to watch.
The film was David Lynch's "Blue Velvet."
Love Dan Levy - an amazingly creative individual. 🎉❤😊
finally someone talks about moonstruck !!
whenever I'm going to meet dan levy, we're about to watch moon struck. good to know.
Hell yes Moonstruck!! I agree 100% with everything he says about that masterpiece
I love Dan so much.❤
Dan, your comments on Moonstruck and Tokyo Story are the greatest truth. ❤️
Thanks for listening the chosen movies at the end ❤
Great picks! Election is perhaps my all time favorite Film!
finally!! someone randomized the selection!!
Ugh I wish I could go to the Criterion closet!!
I would LOVE to sit down and watch Moonstruck with you Dan Levy. Let me know if you have any openings in your schedule.
Picking Love & Basketball has my highest respects and regards. 💯💯💯❤❤❤🏀🏀🏀
Love him ten times more than I already did ❤🎉
Great to see Weekend get a shoutout here. A simple movie that contains great acting, nice cinematography, and an ending that is very 'real'-surprisingly so for a romantic movie.
Moonstruck! Thank u ttDan!
My fiancé pointed out that the DVDs they pick are already sticking out a little and now that’s all I can see
Marc Maron actually pointed that that he had done that at the start of his, and they left it in. He says it would have given him anxiety otherwise, so he had to pre-pick. Maybe that's an option lots of them take!
Yes on moonstruck!!!🎉🎉🎉
Dave! Moonstruck!!!! Bravo!
Champagne on your last day. Well, Sofia does have a Sparling Wine literally named after her 🙂
And it comes in optional cans with a straw, too!
Wonder if Criterion put Chungking Express back in their options. Insane that they dropped that incredible film.
I really want more on Parker Posey. Her catalogue includes Best In Show, starring his dad as well. What's the connection there?
Dan is so charming I cannot believe the DVD'S he has.Can't wait to watch Tokyo Story and The Piano Teacher.KUDOS
Kagemusha is so good
"When I worked at a video store..." was that store called Rose's Video?
The Piano Teacher story reminds me of the time I was at a Blockbuster (remember those?), and being honest, I was a bit tipsy 😇 and I recommended some old horror movie, I can’t remember what movie on the account of being drunk… I mean tipsy. But this movie had just been remade at the time, so I just had to recommend the original to a middle aged woman and, I assume, her teenage daughter who were just trying to find the remake and be on their way. If you’re reading this ladies, I apologize for my drunken, snobbish recommendation, although I do hope you ended up watching the original version of whatever the movie was at some point! As for Dan’s picks, I’m actually kinda shocked he hadn’t seen Kagemusha at that point. One of my favorites that I would drunkenly recommend to everybody and anybody! Hell, I’d recommend it if I was sober. Like, now! Go watch if you haven’t already!
Election is an amazing choice ❤
Dan Levy, sit me down and watch Moonstruck with me. I've never seen it. 🙂
I'm not going to wait for you though. I really need to remedy this situation. 😁
Dan Levy needs his own reality tv show. Or, at the very least, a show about his time working at the video store. Please.
Daniel Levy is a treasure.
what a welcome surprise
When you pick out films in The Criterion Closet, is it, technically, a write off?
