One of the best episodes imo, great to see the man behind Coco having such an intresting taste, especially Punch Drunk Love, I haven’t heard a single person saying that it’s their favorite PTA movie before.
I watched the film because I read it was one of a few films inspired by 8 1/2. Wasn't sure what to expect, but had low expectations since I'm not a big fan of Musicals. Was blown away by how amazing this film is and was very pleased when it got added to the collection.

I love the variety in film industry professionals Criterion brings to these videos! One minute you've got mainstream actors like Cera and a Disney/Pixar animator discussing classic films, and another there's directors who produce films in the actual collection like del Toro, to critics and philosophers like Zizek, to TV comedians like Bill Hader. It's fascinating to see how the same passion for great cinema is felt among people from all kinds of creative industries.
Only a minor quibble. Angel at my Table is a New Zealand film and Jane Campion a New Zealand filmmaker. Please don't take this as pedantry or criticism. It did have Australian and British backers. We're a tiny nation and frequently overlooked.
lyricsfromsweden most video game developers and animators look like death. It’s like being a film director working 16 hour days but instead of a few months it’s four to five years of hell.
The Bicycle Thief, All That Jazz, 8 1/2 and Repo Man have the be the most often-picked films by the visitors of the closet. Also Salo, the Dekalog and the Cassavetes collection.
My top 5 most wanted guests to be on 1: David Lynch 2: Martin Scorsese 3: David Fincher 4: Tarantino 5: Terence Malick (even tough that would never happen)
I just love how he introduced himself. Some of these I need to look up first. And those who remember to say thank you are great. I don't think I would remember.
I bet 2001 will be Spine 950 or 1000. And I would like to see Hard Eight in the Collection, due to lack of availability. Haven’t they released all of Bergman’s films?
For Kubrick, I don't think any more Criterions are coming. Major studios are still holding onto the rights for those films and since all of those are considered their decade defining classics, they already make a priority out of, and do a pretty good job restoring them.
When people discuss what their favorite Adam Sandler movie, they usually settle on either, "Blilly Madison" or "Happy Gilmore". In my eyes, without a doubt, it would be, "Punch Drunk Love". Likely due in large part to PTA, but still;) E: FOrMatTIng
I really do love Punch Drunk Love, but it isn’t a top 5 all timer for me. But, it seems to be in a lot of famous people’s top 5 and top 10 lists. Why is that? Could somebody explain it to me? Could somebody help me love the movie more?

You would have to write an essay. But it's such an odd, offbeat film, taking the unexpected path every scene while still being hopelessly romantic. It's like an introverted, anxious, depressed person's fantasy of love. I also think of it as having a slingshot structure, where the main character is stretched beyond his limits to a near panic attack, then suddenly released (during the magnificent Hawaii montage) into bliss. Adam Sandler transcends anything you could ever imagine coming out of him.
Dokter Kattenbakvulling My favorite ones are Frances Ha, Rosemary's Baby, Breaking The Waves,Picnic at Hanging Rock, Thr vanishing and Two days,one night
Also one of the best visits yet. Really spoke about the films and what he loved about them. Great choices too
I agree, more than stuff like, "This is such a good movie, this is such a good movie." He seemed very comfortable and insightful.
He looks like an old Ed Helms
omfg xD
Juan Esteban Dude, don’t steal from YMS.
spittin' image
He looks like a guy who looks like Ed Helms who hasn’t slept in 12 years. 😁😁😁😁

Thank you
@@davidparker7216 Glad to have helped.
Good job.
So glad so many people recommend "Seconds." It just blew my mind. Can't stop thinking about it.
One of the best episodes imo, great to see the man behind Coco having such an intresting taste, especially Punch Drunk Love, I haven’t heard a single person saying that it’s their favorite PTA movie before.
more guests like this who have actually something to say about the films they choose, great video
This guy a genius though thats not fair to other people
Pixar don’t let this dude sleep
"Also very 70s, but that's not a bad thing" 100% agreed.
I watched the film because I read it was one of a few films inspired by 8 1/2. Wasn't sure what to expect, but had low expectations since I'm not a big fan of Musicals. Was blown away by how amazing this film is and was very pleased when it got added to the collection.
I read this as he said it
Advance congrats for Oscar
We need more animation in the Criterion collection!
Suggestions?
The Boss Baby
paprika, perfect blue.
The Illusionist, Allegro Non Troppo, Anomalisa, King and the Mockingbird, Persepolis, Metamorphoses/Winds of Change, Triplets of Belleville...

Absolutely especially now that videogame auteur Hideo Kojima has been in the closet now too :O
Gotta get Richard Linklater in the closet.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!
That could take 12 years.
That is borderline experimental!
That's right Jay.
Sounds forceful, but I agree
Only a minor quibble. Angel at my Table is a New Zealand film and Jane Campion a New Zealand filmmaker. Please don't take this as pedantry or criticism. It did have Australian and British backers. We're a tiny nation and frequently overlooked.
Love listening to him talk about these films, seems like a likeable person too. Favorite coset picks video so far.
Punch drunk love also a top 5 for me.
Really? I love PTA, but if doesn’t rank in my Top 4 of his.
@@neworleansguy10 Me neither. Not sure what they see that we don't.
neworleansguy10 it’s hard to explain. There’s just nothing else quite like it.
Not an Unkrich film, but good lord WALL•E is in the collection now! Who could've predicted that?
It looks like he hasn't slept since 1995.
lyricsfromsweden most video game developers and animators look like death. It’s like being a film director working 16 hour days but instead of a few months it’s four to five years of hell.
Who could blame him what makes you think why pixar has been very successful
I genuinely don’t think he has slept since toy story
Little known fact = the bags under his eyes have their own zip codes.
Probably hasn’t since working with Pixar.
You are an awesome person Mr. Unkrich! Thank you for making one of my favorite films of last year!
The Bicycle Thief, All That Jazz, 8 1/2 and Repo Man have the be the most often-picked films by the visitors of the closet. Also Salo, the Dekalog and the Cassavetes collection.
My top 5 most wanted guests to be on
1: David Lynch
2: Martin Scorsese
3: David Fincher
4: Tarantino
5: Terence Malick (even tough that would never happen)
“Yes, yes, YES” to David Lynch!
I would love to see what Finchy would pick
Malick made an appearance at a Q&A for the SXSW premier of Song To Song. Might see a lot more of him come Radegund.
Ya I saw that, was cool seeing him but I doubt he would have any interest doing something like this
Nothing's impossible. They recently made to invite Denis ,Huppert & Varda. So .. yeah lets keep hopin 🤗
I just love how he introduced himself. Some of these I need to look up first. And those who remember to say thank you are great. I don't think I would remember.
Lee Unkrick is awesome!
I watched Coco just last night and today i get a video of the director's criterion closet picks !!! Must be fate
"Seconds" is an underrated film. Far better than I had anticipated. Recommended.
Him saying Punch-Drunk Love is in his top 5 of all time made me so goddamn happy.
Everyone seems to mention Bicycle Thieves or The Bicycle Thief as I knew it. Truly intimate personal film for me.
He really loves his job. Inspiring.
Finally someone else who adores Punch-Drunk Love!!!
"... and I 'm here in Mekka", he nailed it!
His work is magnificent!
Great choices and nice for An Angel at my Table to get a mention, it gets mentioned far too little and it's a phenomenal film.
this guy gives me lesson on how to not forget your love ones even if they die BTW thanks for sharing COCO film so amazing
Punch Drunk Love 👌🏼💗
More PTA please and of course Kubrick and Bergman
George Papageorgiou yes there needs to be more PTA
I bet 2001 will be Spine 950 or 1000. And I would like to see Hard Eight in the Collection, due to lack of availability. Haven’t they released all of Bergman’s films?
Star Fucker Eh? No, far from all. Bergman made over 60 films.
For Kubrick, I don't think any more Criterions are coming. Major studios are still holding onto the rights for those films and since all of those are considered their decade defining classics, they already make a priority out of, and do a pretty good job restoring them.
Magnolia!!!
Saw a damp patch in the ceiling at 4:12 top left corner
James Wong Howe! Woho!!
mcleat Everythting you say is exactly true! More people need to speak of Howe. Howe fans unite!
Please have Jane Campion as a guest!
A man of fine tastes
Lee seems like such a sweet and nice man. I guess you kind of have to be if you make family friendly films for a living.
Ju Dou (1990) needs Criterion treatment. It's a stunning film.
Coco is a masterpiece!
Coco is a good Pixar film. A well worth watching fairy tale.
Punch drunk love es una increible película.
Muy infravalorada
great story about punch drunk and excellent campion rec because sounds like good to watch with your spouse
Excellent choices and really nice explanations.
Brilliant episode!
Punch drunk love is so underrated, My third favorite Paul Thomas Anderson film behind There will be blood and magnolia.
I saw Seconds for the first time late last year. Great film. Didn't feel like an American film at all.
European, perhaps?
Carl Rees haven't seen it but it's on my list to buy
He would flip out if The Shining got a spine number
Why does he look like Andy from the office in that thumbnail? That’s all I think every time I see this video in my feed. Lol
I could’ve watched this for like 2 hours!
3:15 ok, so they DO own a microphone?
Big fan of his movies
Toy Story 3 is my favorite pixar film .
Get Miyazaki in there
Damn Lee... you never did buy that Kaleidescape System we talked about???
I found Dekalog through this series and it blew me away
Not a lot of TH-cam video essays about editing for animation btw
All That Jazz is picked a lot. I get it.
When people discuss what their favorite Adam Sandler movie, they usually settle on either, "Blilly Madison" or "Happy Gilmore".
In my eyes, without a doubt, it would be, "Punch Drunk Love". Likely due in large part to PTA, but still;)
E: FOrMatTIng
Punch-Drunk Love or Meyerowitz Stories
Please invite Sogo Ishii, Takashi Miike and Shinya Tsukamoto
thanks , great films, I gotta see seconds
Lee: “I’m in Mecca”
Me: “I knew it”
Please get Linklater or Lynch in there!
Me patiently waiting for Ed Helms’s dad to pick Antichrist. Lmao
I would love to see the uncut video!!
Great choices
Hes the man! Toy story 3 and Coco are the best pixar films
Get Vincent Gallo to do this
Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di biciclette) is a great Vittorio De Sica movie
ill get in there one day
Good picks
People who like "Seconds" should check out the Japanese film "The Face of Another". Similar and - in my view - even better.
Shocked he didn’t mention the Shining and how it should be in the collection
There is a picture of Luca Gudagnino e Jim Jarmusch in your closet guys, where is the video?
i feel like they keep putting Seconds higher and higher to stop people talking about it.
An angel at my table is from New Zealand.
When is Wes anderson getting in the closet?
Get JORDAN PEELE THERE. Or Greta, or Guillermo.
Christopher Jones I think they already got Guillermo. Right?
Yes they did
Christopher Jones there is already a guiellermo vid : )
Greta would be awesome
Did GDT already he just took a bunch of stuff and didn't say much
I really do love Punch Drunk Love, but it isn’t a top 5 all timer for me. But, it seems to be in a lot of famous people’s top 5 and top 10 lists. Why is that? Could somebody explain it to me? Could somebody help me love the movie more?

The great Leon Krich.
This guy reminds me of Ed Helms. He should play him in a movie.
is that ed helm's father????
An Angel at my Table is a New Zealand movie not Australian.
Ed helms?
Get Chloe Sevigny in here. Plz
Oh, well we can't all be ed helms!
Have to gat Marty in the closet
Unkrich WTF... you gotta see Three Colors... Kieslowski!!!
What happened to Ed Helms?
Do they charge you for those carry on's?? Jesus. Coco was awesome by the way.
Great picks and I don't mean to come across as rude although it will but god almighty the bags under this man's eyes
Great. Never noticed them before but now it's all I see.
congrats, you just came across as rude
those are from watching and making some really good films
came here to say that. jesus christ man whoa
PLease bring alberto fuguet
Look it’s Ed Helms’ dad
Does nobody in Hollywood own a blu-ray player?
Nice unpretentious picks.
It's probably a long shot, but i'd be cool to see a Pixar film in the Criterion Shelf. Probably Inside Out or the Toy Story Trilogy.
I'm totally new to the Criterion collection, though I've seen some classics. Any recommendations?
Dokter Kattenbakvulling scooby doo, and scooby doo 2: monsters unleashed.
Extraordinarily witty! You are truly the Voltaire of our time.
Dokter Kattenbakvulling space jam is also good.
Dokter Kattenbakvulling Also, why equate me to Voltaire? He wasn’t a comedian, he was a philosopher.

hope he gets some sleep soon
Of Trois Coleurs Rouge is the greatest
