Took a class taught by this man. A class about melodrama in film. A very positive experience. He showed "Days of Heaven" and it left a indelible impact on me. Cheers Maddin!!
@@OtisF96 Do you know what the word "shibboleth" means? In this case the word "chaotic" is an example of _that_ word, where younger digital-native folks have given it an added contextual valence, describing unpredictable/unconventional/disorganized/provocative, but frequently endearing, personality traits and behaviours ✌
Dear Criterion, Please put me on the list for getting a bagful of free films. I would really appreciate it. My neighbors would appreciate it. And my cats may well indeed appreciate it. And it would make Arizona a culturally richer place. Thanks.

By insane coincidence, I saw Maddin's "Brand Upon the Brain!" and his Criterion pick "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Part One" in the same day. Both I consider masterpieces.
He's made a ton of movies, and I've seen a ton of them. I have yet to be disappointed, and am usually blown away. They're all totally weird, visionary, and hilarious.
Could someone possibly write a list of the films GM selected ? Very curious to know..Unable to hear him well enough to decipher..His enthusiasm is infectious...!

After some advanced audio analysis, I think it must be Vigo's "L'Atalante," although it sounds like "Ladolante" (yet I admit I have never once heard a real person say the title of the film). Hopefully that's a none-too-subtle insider's hint that Criterion will be issuing said film soon.
This looks like an interesting crowd of commentees. There are at least two books with Maddin interviews in them...right now I have the films of Guy Maddin by Caelum Vatnsdal in front of me. It gets Cocteau like in some passages...wonderful. I'd like to recommend some films. Mon Oncle, The Coca Cola Kid, and The Tenth Victim. (watch this with no titles and english selected....they spoke in english)
It still amazes me how you guys (Criterion) still haven't added Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" and Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" (two of the greatest films ever made) to the list. BAG!!!
He seems so awesome, I laugh every time he says bag, also can anyone tell me what film he's referring to that's his favourite film of all time along with days of heaven??? love his films
Oh man, if I was offered a chance to just come to Criterion's library and take random selections, I'd basically cancel the rest of my life to make that appointment.
damn if i had to pick 6 movies: Amarcord,The Complete Monterey Pop Festival Cronos,Crumb,The Darjeeling Limited, America Lost and Found: The BBS Story,Harold and Maude, House, and The killing lol 10 mins thats all i ask!!!
@Coolestmovies They certainly don't and we don't even know how long this has been going on off public record!!! LOL. I totally agree though. A random, regular Criterion invite would be wonderful! I would approach it with the utmost modesty and respect for any parameters presented before entering the room.
@ChristopherKnudsen My Winnipeg MUST be on the way -- it's distributed by IFC in the US, and I can't think of any other reason he would be wandering around in their offices.
I would love to just climb in that closet and pull the shelves down so the room fills up with movies and Id dive into the pile and swim around in them like a movie collecting Scrooge Mcduck.
You know what film I would want to snatch if they alowed me? Guess! Give up! RAN! Yeah that's the one I would love to have and you know what else Criterion needs to release with the original Subtitles of how the foreigners viewed them originally. Das Boot both Directors cut and the full 293 min version Crouching, Tiger, Hidden Dragon Last but not least if there was one if only Criterion could put it on there website with the original theatrical version including every single version of
Also one more thing I'm so upset with Hollywood of all the re releases in 3D, taking ideas away from these films and speaking of that I'm not one of them but it makes me so mad that I wish I could become an independent film director probably not. But if your one of those has taken film school and has been inspired by these films I wish you all to become great film directors. But please don't take Ideas away from the most famous directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Masaki Kobiyashi
@OhNoItsGojira A. I work in the industry and I know how much directors make from all sort of sales and licensing. No shit they don't have time to watch every movie - but when something is your FAVORITE film and you are in that industry and you don't own it.....that is pretty mind-blowing.
What does he say is, along with "Days of Heaven," his favorite movie ever? "La volande"? "Lavaland"? I feel like my film nerd license should be revoked because I cannot even remotely figure out what he's saying.
@jonathanyadirbq He speaks about "L'Avventura" earlier in the clip, but I'm referring to about 2/3 of the way through (minute 2:07) -- definitely not "L'Avventura" he's speaking about. Also, yeah, that beard is wild. He looks nothing like he usually does.
"Somehow Ive allowed the release of this thing to go by, and not grabbing it and putting it in my BAAAAAG!"
Took a class taught by this man. A class about melodrama in film. A very positive experience. He showed "Days of Heaven" and it left a indelible impact on me. Cheers Maddin!!
taking a copy of his own movie is such chaotic energy and I love it
Do you know what the word "chaotic" means?

hahahahaha
Criterion, add me to the list too.
Thanks.
Achieve something in the film industry and you might get a shot, unlikely, but you might get a shot.
@@AndrewSnarls whoosh bro whoosh
@@hrishabh - I knew it was harsh when I wrote it, but it's not as though it's untrue.
Henceforth, whenever I'm pleased by a title I will bark "BAG!"
L'Atalante is the other film he mentions for those wondering.
His love of film shines every time he says "bag!" Love it! :)
The Guy's hilarious, this just made me want to watch his movies, I have not seen any of them yet. BAAAAAAAAAAGGGG!!!
nobody has ever said the word BAG! like he does
baaaagggg
“Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Byron Haskin .. BAG!!!” I felt that. 😅
I think he picked more than six.
L'Avventura
The Night Porter
Simbiopsychtaxiplasm
Mouchette - Bresson
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Wilhelm Reich - Mysteries of the Organism
Robinson Caruso on Mars
Mala Noche
Housu
Black Narcissus
Days of Heaven
The Thin Red Line
Brand Upon the Brain
Jesus so many movies
Where did he put all of these
movies?
Thank you
0:46 - Guy Maddin is an honest guy.
Guy Maddin, you are a wonder. Keep making films.
This is my favorite installment of this series.
Days of Heaven and L'Atalante are his favourite films? ...I now love him even more!!
This was the most relatable one if all these videos.
He's such fun here. Bill Hader also picks House.
This is the most enjoyable Criterion closet video.
List of titles in order:
L’avventura
The Night Porter
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm
Mouchette
When A Woman Ascends The Stairs
WR: Mysteries of the Organism
Robinson Crusoe On Mars
Mala Noche
House
Black Narcissus
Days Of Heaven
The Thin Red Line
Brand Upon The Brain
Thank you!
I think he put in the bag the movies he was leaving Criterion with. What we didn't see is him and a team backing a truck up to take everything else.
That would be the first ram raid committed with good intentions!
TRUCK!
Days of Heaven, good job! There's a man who knows what a good movie is. Terrence Malick is a genius.
Guy Maddin...why you so cool?
By insane coincidence, I saw Maddin's "Brand Upon the Brain!" and his Criterion pick "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Part One" in the same day. Both I consider masterpieces.
He's made a ton of movies, and I've seen a ton of them. I have yet to be disappointed, and am usually blown away. They're all totally weird, visionary, and hilarious.
My absolute favorite Criterion Closet video!
Could someone possibly write a list of the films GM selected ? Very curious to know..Unable to hear him well enough to decipher..His enthusiasm is infectious...!

@@burlcummings5753 Thank you so much !
@@juliamargaretcameron He also mentions L'Atalante and puts down Tunes of Glory right at the end, if you want some added stuff.
More Maddin in the collection!!!
We may also get The Saddest Music In The World from the looks of these tags -- I know that was MGM at one point, with whom Criterion also has an ongoing relationship.
I want to work there soooo badly!
"Take that, Leni Riefenstahl!" (I spell that right?)
+sclogse1 Thank you! I didn't know what the hell he said
I watched Hous recently with no subtitles and whilst incredibly stoned. It was fucking incredible.
That is the way to do it
Not many people go Malick in these DVD picks so when I see someone do so I get pretty excited
I get so fuckin jealous when I see these videos.
L'Avventura
Il portiere di notte
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One
Mouchette

W.R Mysteries of Organism
Mala noche

It's not "E.T"... It's "L'Avventura". He said "Vitti" meaning Monica Vitti.
He did mention Robinson Crusoe on Mars. Was that a joke?
@@jakubfigiel3197 Ahaha, I was silly! oh, I heard he said l'avventura before :(
thank you for the list and I want to make a correction about the third one, It's "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One".
After some advanced audio analysis, I think it must be Vigo's "L'Atalante," although it sounds like "Ladolante" (yet I admit I have never once heard a real person say the title of the film). Hopefully that's a none-too-subtle insider's hint that Criterion will be issuing said film soon.
I go grocery shopping like him. Putting things in my BAG!
Criterion: could you please list all of the videos he chose? Thanks!
Days of Heaven, Christian Bale's favorite film, and he worked with the director too!!
Black Narcissus on bluray is amazing!
this is absolutely wild. my prof worked with him on lots of his movies and i had zero idea that he was a big deal. just thought he loved movies lol
George Toles, by any chance?
You go, Guy!! Love it.
need to see Jim Jarmusch do one of these asap.
Greatest. Criterion. DVD. Picks. Ever.
Such a nice guy! He's also a genious.
Naruse was his best pick. Or the Powell/Press. Guy Maddin is probably the best closet picker.
Would love to see Ken Russell do one of these- but it's too late.
wow..Days of Heaven, Guy? Thin Red Line..i didn't peg you as a Malick fan?! surprised! i love the film too...
House! so awesome
Please Criterion I really want a Guy Maddin boxset!
This looks like an interesting crowd of commentees. There are at least two books with Maddin interviews in them...right now I have the films of Guy Maddin by Caelum Vatnsdal in front of me. It gets Cocteau like in some passages...wonderful.
I'd like to recommend some films. Mon Oncle, The Coca Cola Kid, and The Tenth Victim. (watch this with no titles and english selected....they spoke in english)
BAG upon the Brain!
***** My Winnebag
Tales from the BAGimli Hospital
Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Bag
The ForBAGgen Room
Twilight Of The Bag Nymphs
This Guy's Baggin'
It still amazes me how you guys (Criterion) still haven't added Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" and Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" (two of the greatest films ever made) to the list. BAG!!!
These videos are effing awesome!
This is my favorite criterion closet video other then the Safdie brothers one
In this closet, being greedy is the only way to be.
I'm quite fond of the mountain film genre
Great choices
This guy probably already has a sizable dvd collection.
Kkkkkkkkkk esse é provavelmente um dos vídeos mais engraçados dessa série
He seems so awesome, I laugh every time he says bag, also can anyone tell me what film he's referring to that's his favourite film of all time along with days of heaven??? love his films
L'Atalante (1934)
I'd be lying awake at night leading up to a Criterion closet visit too!
he likes that bag
That's it, I'm becoming a famous film-making so I can raid Criterion's closet.
What was the film he said at 2:08?
Oh man, if I was offered a chance to just come to Criterion's library and take random selections, I'd basically cancel the rest of my life to make that appointment.
Man, if I had to choose: The Seventh Seal, House, Beauty and The Beast, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Alexander Nevsky, Le Samorai
"Baag!" lol
Lmfao at bag!!!! that's something my autistic self would yell out.
id love to go in that room
If I could have 6: Amarcord, Crumb, Royal Tenenbaums, Secret Honor, The Killing, Videodrome
I made a movie in the seventh grade that ran about 82 minutes, can I go to the room?
I never realized just how much bill hader looks like Stephan King
best to ever come out of Canadian cinema. also check out Jean-Claude Lauzon and Philip Borsos. the other two best to come out of Canada.
damn if i had to pick 6 movies: Amarcord,The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
Cronos,Crumb,The Darjeeling Limited, America Lost and Found: The BBS Story,Harold and Maude, House, and The killing lol 10 mins thats all i ask!!!
We're gonna need a bigger bag.
What is the title of the mountain film he is talking about? I never understand it. Thanks.
Adebar3
Black Narcissus
Green Fog on blu ray...please
"Bag!"
Did anyone pick "The friends of Eddie Coyle" yet?
+laser beam They should!! Someone should. I was just so happy to see Maddin choose BLACK NARCISSUS though, that I'm not complaining.
me neither, michelle. but someone should, indeed.
@Coolestmovies They certainly don't and we don't even know how long this has been going on off public record!!! LOL. I totally agree though. A random, regular Criterion invite would be wonderful! I would approach it with the utmost modesty and respect for any parameters presented before entering the room.
@ChristopherKnudsen My Winnipeg MUST be on the way -- it's distributed by IFC in the US, and I can't think of any other reason he would be wandering around in their offices.
I would love to just climb in that closet and pull the shelves down so the room fills up with movies and Id dive into the pile and swim around in them like a movie collecting Scrooge Mcduck.
You know what film I would want to snatch if they alowed me?
Guess!
Give up!
RAN!
Yeah that's the one I would love to have and you know what else Criterion needs to release with the original Subtitles of how the foreigners viewed them originally.
Das Boot both Directors cut and the full 293 min version
Crouching, Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Last but not least if there was one if only Criterion could put it on there website with the original theatrical version including every single version of
Nice, when you can bag one of your own movies having to pay like everyone else isn't a plausible notion.
In the BAGGG!
He has to double-dip on his first two grabs. I don't think the "bag" thing will work this time =D
Also one more thing I'm so upset with Hollywood of all the re releases in 3D, taking ideas away from these films and speaking of that I'm not one of them but it makes me so mad that I wish I could become an independent film director probably not.

After 2:27 the shelves are almost empty :D
hahah I've never seen those shelves so empty
+AngryMidgetProd They knew Guy was coming and hid most of the discs or he would have taken them all.
Dear God imagine being able to just go in there and pick up movies
@OhNoItsGojira A. I work in the industry and I know how much directors make from all sort of sales and licensing. No shit they don't have time to watch every movie - but when something is your FAVORITE film and you are in that industry and you don't own it.....that is pretty mind-blowing.

I'd figured as much. Thanks for the corroboration!
@travelingcarpenter amazing! really spectacular film. especially the score.
@jonathanyadirbq He speaks about "L'Avventura" earlier in the clip, but I'm referring to about 2/3 of the way through (minute 2:07) -- definitely not "L'Avventura" he's speaking about.
Also, yeah, that beard is wild. He looks nothing like he usually does.
Which film did he mention along with "Days of Heaven"?
Ah, I thought so too. Thank you!
wow he really filled his...BAG!...funny tho i am jealous.
No one else gonna appreciate his Leni Riefenstahl burn, cause I totally will
This is amazing.
