@@stanko00001 I think you're thinking about A Walk to Remember, which would definitely never be released on Criterion. I love the movie, but it just would never fit into the Criterion Collection. A Night to Remember is a black and white classic film about the Titanic, some shots almost look scene for scene replicated in the 1997 Titanic film.
A few years ago I only had 2 Criterions. Today, my collection stands at 181 releases, all Blu-rays, with box sets included and each one representing one of release. My most recent addition is WIM WENDERS: THE ROAD TRILOGY. I am one of those who wishes they would get on the 4K train like several of the other boutique labels have.
Highly recommend picking up Barry Lyndon. Very underrated Kubrick film which has some of the best cinematography of all time, criterion transfer is gorgeous
@@conorharte5473 There is no 4K release at the moment, the criterion is a 4K remaster so right now it’s definitely the best release of the movie. It’s packed with features as well
Still the best of the boutique labels. People are always nagging at Criterion to start moving to 4k but it doesn't bother me at all that they haven't yet, their BluRays look amazing.
Speaking of the Criterion Collection, anyone seen Ethan from the Boutique Blu-rays Channel lately? I really enjoyed his content. Great collection here!
love this style vid of your quick thoughts as you go through your shelves! is it too much to ask for a 100k subscriber video, where you do this for your entire collection?? that would be epic…
Nothing from Wong Kar Wai? Chungking Express is one of my all time favorite movies, and I picked up the World of Wong Kar Wai box set as soon as preorders were available. Great collection though! That Godzilla set looks incredible! I did have the video playing at 2X in the background, so if I missed something, my apologies.
Fun fact: Chungking Express, now OOP, was the very first Blu-ray from Criterion. It was right after the format war ended and just as the final HD-DVDs were trickling out of other studios. IIRC Chungking Express was released in December of 2008. Having never owned an actual Blu from Criterion (I bought Videodrome on DVD by mistake and got the DVDs of The Killing/Killer’s Kiss, Dr. Strangelove, and Something Wild from my library that doesn’t have Blu-rays, I wonder if Criterion had some rusty earlier releases like the other studios had.
I have the same collection. Maybe I'm missing a few. Wow didn't realize I had so much. By the way mine are in alphabetical order. Never thought to put them in the like you have yours. Thanks for sharing.
I'm at 144 right now, including the Ingmar Bergman Cinema boxset. Always a good thing to see The Night of The Hunter in people's collections. It's a must have. Looking good!
You’re lucky to have Nashville and Don’t Look Now in your Collection. Those recently went out of print. I was able to get a copy of Don’t Look Now back in March 2020. I was going to get Nashville eventually, but unfortunately it went out of print. Supposedly, Paramount is going to re-release the movie on Blu Ray in August. But I’m not sure if I should get it or wait until the movie goes back to print in Criterion, because I don’t want to blind buy and have the quality of the Blu Ray not be up to par.
Don't Look Now is my favourite movie or at least joint-first with Blade Runner & The Best Years Of Our Lives, I don't have the Criterion of it because there's a superior release of it out now from Studio Canal & it's on 4k.
Great video as always! I wish I could've heard the rest of your thoughts on each one of them. You kept cutting yourself off with your fades. Also, speaking of old horror, you've GOT to check out The Innocents. It is so good.
Jeff, appreciate your interest is the Criterion Blu-ray format but you should invest in a copy of the Criterion book called 'Criterion Designs' as it has artwork, test drawings, back stories and a whole lot more for titles up to 2014. There's also a neat few pages at the end of the book dealing with the artwork on Criterion laserdisc jackets and DVD covers.
Dude, we love your stuff. Don't be afraid to do multiple volumes of videos. I didn't mind the editing that much by the way. I haven't counted up my own Criterion titles. I don't have anywhere near as many though.
Nice! Spotted that awesome Zatoichi set instantly, great collection right there (yes, Come and See is unforgettable but well worth the watch).. I go spine number as well, around 225 or so criterions now, those 50% off are almost mandatory at this point
Good content, thank you. Maybe for future videos, I would have liked one or two sentences about the extras each film came with. I know the Criterion boutique promise of quality extras but some of their products are more packed than others; I'm simply asking you to point out which of their discs come with superior extras as opposed to the lighter ones. Thanks again for your channel, you do good work.
House (Hausu) is one of my favorites and one of the first Criterion releases i bought! David Lynch and David Cronenberg have directed some of the best horror/arthouse movies i've seen.
Thanks for the tour! That's alot more then the 56 Criterion Collection I have. Not the horror fan you are, but you sparked my interest in many I don't have. Very curious about the Charlie Chaplin titles and many others! Excited for your Kino Lorber tour being that I have about 250 of their blurays, also looking forward to the Arrow tour!
I'm more of a film noir guy. Some of my favorite film noir movies in my Criterion Collection are: "The Killing" (#575), "The Killers" (#176), "Night and the City" (#274), "Asphalt Jungle" (#847), "Detour" (#966), "Kiss Me Deadly" (#568), "Leave Her to Heaven" (#1020) *If you liked "Fatal Attraction" then you'll love this original version, "Sweet Smell of Success" (#555), "Brute Force" (383), "Ace in the Hole" (#396), "Gilda" (#795), and "In A Lonely Place" (# 810). I'm hoping Criterion puts out more film noir in the future, but this list is a good start to that genre of films.
Great collection and has given me a few ideas to add to my own. Like you I have to keep that Godzilla collection in a “special place” due to the size !
@B Edward I have a small criterion collection. A couple of rare thrifting scores, a few second hand buys and most others from Criterion or Barnes and Noble. I definitely watch for half off sales! I’m glad to support what they’re doing for cinema!
What is a criterion collection what’s different’s from a regular Blu-ray? That dazed and confused looks amazing please explain so I can jump on mine first criterion collection.
They are the first boutique label. They invented the commentary track and special features. For the most part anything they release is going to be the best release of that movie. Me thing I love about them is that they don’t do a limited edition release model like other boutiques have to. This means that you don’t have to hurry to buy a movie as soon as it releases.
Beautiful collection, I've only got 4 criterion releases myself but they're some of the best blu rays I own. I love the Godzilla release with the pop up Godzilla on the spine
I only have all about eve, Godzilla, in the heat of the night, it’s a mad mad mad mad world, swing time, and Z, seven samurai, sanjuro, yojimbo and the hidden fortress on dvd
I really want both of the Godzilla Criterion collection 😫 Also I feel like the next Richard Linklater from Criterion needs to be Everybody Wants some. (The kinda sorta sequel to Dazed and Confused)
There aren't even 100 films that i would consider a favorite because I'd only own a hardcover if it's a favorite of mine. Then again I'm fairly young for a cinephile and there's a whole world of cinema to explore.
Love this! I have just three Criterions in my collection. • 'Silence of the Lambs' - which I think is a great transfer. Especially when compared to the old Blu-ray. • 'The Game', - and I agree with you, it needs more love 'cause not enough people talk, or know about it. The transfer is beautiful. I also have the hardback book UK version from Arrow. The first Blu-ray was garbage. • 'The Breakfast Club' -, again, I think the transfer was brilliant, and the old VHS rip of deleted scenes from the film was a great touch!
My own Criterion collection is growing. Btw, my Marantz SR-6005 A/V receiver is dying. Any suggestions for a replacement? Obviously, I want to upgrade to Dolby Atmos.
Very impressive collection. You must have collecting for a long time. You should invite your friends over to pick movies from your closet just like the real criterion closet
I noticed you didn’t have two great Deborah Kerr films on Criterion, the first is Jack Clayton’s 1961 film “The Innocents” a great ghost story that still gives me chills. Second is Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1947 “Black Narcissus” a beautifully photographed psychological drama about a group of nuns
Nice collection Jeff! Im slightly disappointed that you dont have any original pressings/ standard first editions. :P I started collecting before we had blu rays so i have a few originals that i assume are harder to find.
Fantastic collection - looking forward to these upcoming label-oriented videos. Recommend taking Todd E Walnuts’ approach to these boutique label vids. He’s great at it. Re these boutique labels, I’ve been quite impressed by Imprint (Breakdown is terrific) and Grindhouse Cinema (their new release of The Swimmer is sublime). Oh, and Straw Dogs is brutal. Dustin Hoffman is terrific in that one.
Here’s what I have from the Criterion Collection (all of them are on Blu-ray). I have a total of 60 Criterions. - 12 Angry Men - All About Eve - The Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight) - Being John Malkovich - The Black Stallion - Blood Simple - Blue Velvet - Bottle Rocket - Boyhood - Brazil - The Breakfast Club - Broadcast News - Bull Durham - City Lights - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (although I consider it to be a Criterion, it’s essentially a joint release between Criterion and Paramount with it having a regular Blu-ray case and a slipcover.) - Dazed and Confused - Do the Right Thing - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Election - Eraserhead - Fantastic Mr. Fox - Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Fear and Loathing Las Vegas - The Fisher King - Following - The Game - The Gold Rush - The Graduate - The Grand Budapest Hotel - The Great Dictator - The Great Escape -A Hard Day’s Night (the first Criterion I bought) - In the Heat of the Night - The Innocents - Inside Llewyn Davis - The Irishman - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - The Manchurian Candidate (1962) - Marriage Story - Modern Times - Moonrise Kingdom - Moonstruck - Mulholland Dr. - Night of the Living Dead - On the Waterfront - Pan’s Labyrinth - Parasite - Paths of Glory - Portrait of a Lady on Fire - The Princess Bride - Punch-Drunk Love - Roma - Rosemary’s Baby - The Royal Tenenbaums - Rushmore - Seven Samurai - The Seventh Seal - The Silence of the Lambs - Some Like It Hot - Tootsie
I found the Arrow Blu Ray of Thief to be better than the Criterion, the grain on the picture I found to be more natural, also the extras easily are better. I’ve also got Blow Out, Videodrome, Dressed To Kill, The Manchurian Candidate, Diaboliques on Arrow Blu Ray. I’ve also got M on Masters of Cinema, I’ve upgraded Don’t Look Now to the Studiocanal 4K, I also have The Red Circle (Le Cercle Rouge) which I too have upgraded to 4K from Studiocanal. I was also lucky enough to purchase the Criterion edition of The Third Man... however the titles I strongly advice you seek out are... Cul De Sac, Tess (Polanski) Notorious, The Man Who Knew Too Much (Hitchcock) Barry Lyndon, The Killing (Kubrick) Le Samourai, Army of Shadows, Le Cercle Rouge (Melville) Mind you The Red Circle is already available on 4K Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Rashomon, Ikru (Kurosawa) Shallow Grave, Heaven’s Gate, Mishima, Tootsie, Dead Man, Personal Shopper, The Hit, Safety Last, Some Like It Hot, The American Friend to name a few. As for boxset... strongly recommend The Lone Wolf and Cub boxset. If you love Lady Vengeance... then Lone Wolf ans Cub is very much worth seeking out.
Great video. A lot of good criterion movies. I have a couple Harold & Maude one of the best movies ive seen great cat Stevens score. Gimme shelter the rolling stones about the tragedy that happened at the altamont speedway in December 1969 great movie. Just got fast times at ridgemont high from criterion and its the first time its seen in its original uncut version and a tv cut with 5 minutes extra footage. Theatrical cut is 90 minutes. Tv cut is 95 minutes. I still want to get the bruce lee set, beyond the valley of the dolls, and many more.
@@tdg223 First of all, it's film, not TV. Film is art. Art is worthy of having lots of time dedicated to appreciating it. Obviously you don't agree, but realize you're on a film channel full of passionate fans who live for the medium. I'm sure you have interests and hobbies of your own that you dedicate just as much time to. In fact, I hope you do!
@@tdg223 Well if health concerns are your issue, I can personally tell you that I manage to find time to work out everyday as well as watch movies, and I'm sure most film fans don't sit on the couch all day everyday either. Honestly, sitting down for one or even two films in the evening is not going to cause you health issues. Working at a desk for eight hours straight might though. If anything, the spiritual benefits and escapism of film will probably help your mental health!
I have 35 Criterion films, and I consider that way too many, but some were gifts, some I got with gift certificates, and others I bought as used DVDs (though most are Blu-rays I have accumulated over time). 1. The Magnificent Ambersons 2. Chimes at Midnight 3. F for Fake 4. The Immortal Story 5. Paths of Glory 6. Kiss Me Deadly 7. The Killers 8. Design for Living 9. Fellini Satyricon 10. 8 1/2 11. Amarcord 12. Seven Samurai 13. Ikiru 14. The Age of Innocence 15. The Seventh Seal 16. Orpheus 17. La Belle et La Bete 18. Vampyre 19. Detour 20. Ride a Pink Horse 21. Ride with the Devil 22. Paris, Texas 23. Brazil 24. Notorious 25. Stagecoach 26. Red River 27. Fantastic Planet 28. The Last Temptation of Christ (DVD) 29. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown 30. Salo (DVD) 31. Gray's Anatomy 32. A Woman Under the Influence (DVD) 33. The Devil’s Backbone 34. Wings of Desire 35. Do the Right Thing (DVD)
A few suggestions that i didnt see here: Anything by Seijun Suzuki (branded to kill, tokyo drifter) Notorious (hitch) Anything by wong-kar wai Days of heaven The Naked Prey Inside Llewyn Davis Parasite
Hey Jeff, love your work mate. Can you release a less edited version, with all your commentary in it - possibly for your paying subscribers? Keep up the great work mate.
Great collection :-) If I'm not mistaken, Insomnia is Norwegian, not swedish. But hard to tell, when danish, norwegian and swedish actors appear in many scandinavian movies , more now than ever :-)
Great video. Definitely found some titles of interest. The one criterion movie I was hoping you'd have is Time Bandits. I love that film. It's also directed by Terry Gilliam. Unfortunately I believe it's out of print as well. How do feel about that film?
Great video I have not seen a lot of those movies. I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen Seven Sanaurai I've always wanted to just never have. I'm a huge Godzilla fan so I do have The Showa collection and all the Charlie Chaplin releases. I love all of Chaplins work brilliant filmmaker and all around moviemaking artist. Same with Buster Keaton. I gave a fee other Criterion ones I have are Jackie Chan's Super Cop 1 & 2,The Bruce Lee collection,Night of the Living Dead,The Irishman and War of the Worlds .
What a great collection. Thanks for posting this. I have a question about "Nashville," which Paramount is going to release in August as part of its Paramount Presents line. The August release will include a new 4K restoration on Blu-ray, which would be an upgrade from Criterion's 2k restoration. I wonder how much difference you think that would make? I trust your insights into the quality of various transfers so I would love to hear your thoughts.
I notice you cut away often when you started talking more in depth about certain movies. Is there a longer/less edited video? I'd love to hear your take on some of these.
The transfer is typically overviewed by directors or cinematographers who worked on the movies. They also contain nice booklets/covers and things like that. Some get better special features, some are only released on criterion. Personally, unless you’re big on film and want to see how things got made and have best quality, you’re better with normal blu rays due to the price. I only get criterion’s on personal favorites of mine
What would you say is your favourite Criterion release of the ones you own? Not necessarily your favourite movie, just favourite in terms of special features, packaging, restauration etc.
I love criterion collection! Great collection! Lots of wonderful films I loved and some titles have been on my radar for quite some time but havent picked it up yet. I have a video of my entire criterion blu-ray collection as well up in my channel. Keep up the amazing work! Have a good one and take care. -Bernardo Cisneros
That’s quite a collection. You won’t be bored.
My Criterion collection has really grown in the last year about 380 at last count. My last purchase was A night to remember.
Hands down my favorite Mandy Moore performance. I'm glad it's on criterion.

Really? I'll have to check it out on HBO Max
Almost every shot was framed like a painting and it's absolutely gorgeous.

He must have gotten burnt out. He did make any statement.
He replied to someone on Letterboxd simply saying ‘I've been unable to make videos but hopefully I will return in the future’
Now this is a great review. I reckon.... (fades out)
Wings of Desire, btw was remade as a major studio film called City of Angels starring Nic Cage.
That copy of The 39 Steps has such great picture quality. It's my favorite movie and the Criterion Collection copy is probably my favorite purchase!
Funny you should mention it but "12 Angry Men" is the first Criterion I have ever purchased too. These are so well done.

So jealous of your Criterions. Great films
Have you checked out Portrait of a Lady on Fire?! I personally think it’s a great film and currently it’s on Amazon for buy 3 for the price of 2!
Come and See is a very dark and gritty film. I don't have a problem watching Schindler's List multiple times, I could only watch Come and See once.

Minor correction but Thin Blue Line is about a wrongful prosecution of an innocence that man accused of murder, not about a police killing.
Was really enjoying everything you had to say about each criterion but it kept cutting out?
I think he was trying to cut down his comments to keep the video length down
He cut at the end of his sentences but then added too long audio transitions without checking. Common problem.

I just picked 5 criterion blurays at a thrift store in pristine condition. $3 each. Very good find
Which ones?

I found the Arrow Blu Ray of Thief to be better than the Criterion, the grain on the picture I found to be more natural, also the extras easily are better. I’ve also got Blow Out, Videodrome, Dressed To Kill, The Manchurian Candidate, Diaboliques on Arrow Blu Ray. I’ve also got M on Masters of Cinema, I’ve upgraded Don’t Look Now to the Studiocanal 4K, I also have The Red Circle (Le Cercle Rouge) which I too have upgraded to 4K from Studiocanal. I was also lucky enough to purchase the Criterion edition of The Third Man... however the titles I strongly advice you seek out are... Cul De Sac, Tess (Polanski)
Notorious, The Man Who Knew Too Much (Hitchcock)
Barry Lyndon, The Killing (Kubrick)
Le Samourai, Army of Shadows, Le Cercle Rouge (Melville) Mind you The Red Circle is already available on 4K
Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Rashomon, Ikru (Kurosawa)
Shallow Grave, Heaven’s Gate, Mishima, Tootsie, Dead Man, Personal Shopper, The Hit, Safety Last, Some Like It Hot, The American Friend to name a few. As for boxset... strongly recommend The Lone Wolf and Cub boxset. If you love Lady Vengeance... then Lone Wolf ans Cub is very much worth seeking out.
At this point, my only Criterion are the Godzilla set and Seven Samurai.
Is there a reason to keep the stand alone release of Godzilla after you have the collection?
Great video. A lot of good criterion movies. I have a couple Harold & Maude one of the best movies ive seen great cat Stevens score. Gimme shelter the rolling stones about the tragedy that happened at the altamont speedway in December 1969 great movie. Just got fast times at ridgemont high from criterion and its the first time its seen in its original uncut version and a tv cut with 5 minutes extra footage. Theatrical cut is 90 minutes. Tv cut is 95 minutes. I still want to get the bruce lee set, beyond the valley of the dolls, and many more.
How do you find time to watch so much tv?
It’s his life, the way he make money! I make no money from movies, but watch 1000s of movies a year, because it’s our passion
@@arnoldsaidwhat Ohhhhh . Way to much tv watching 😵💫
@@tdg223 First of all, it's film, not TV. Film is art. Art is worthy of having lots of time dedicated to appreciating it. Obviously you don't agree, but realize you're on a film channel full of passionate fans who live for the medium. I'm sure you have interests and hobbies of your own that you dedicate just as much time to. In fact, I hope you do!
@@GuitarGuy5000000000 Maybe exercising while watching that many movies, sitting that much kills. Bad for the ol ticker. 😵💫
@@tdg223 Well if health concerns are your issue, I can personally tell you that I manage to find time to work out everyday as well as watch movies, and I'm sure most film fans don't sit on the couch all day everyday either. Honestly, sitting down for one or even two films in the evening is not going to cause you health issues. Working at a desk for eight hours straight might though. If anything, the spiritual benefits and escapism of film will probably help your mental health!
Insomnia is Norwegian (not Swedish).
And even though Vampyr is spoken/written in German, it was actually directed by a Danish guy...

Hey Jeff, love your work mate. Can you release a less edited version, with all your commentary in it - possibly for your paying subscribers? Keep up the great work mate.
Why do you keep cutting between each film? You start to talk about it and then it fades out and cuts to you picking up the next one
You don't have The Last Emperor, that's a must have
Great collection :-) If I'm not mistaken, Insomnia is Norwegian, not swedish. But hard to tell, when danish, norwegian and swedish actors appear in many scandinavian movies , more now than ever :-)
Great video. Definitely found some titles of interest. The one criterion movie I was hoping you'd have is Time Bandits. I love that film. It's also directed by Terry Gilliam. Unfortunately I believe it's out of print as well. How do feel about that film?
My Criterion collection will probably be at 50 max as I'm not much into what I consider fringe movies or pre-80's movies
Great video I have not seen a lot of those movies. I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen Seven Sanaurai I've always wanted to just never have. I'm a huge Godzilla fan so I do have The Showa collection and all the Charlie Chaplin releases. I love all of Chaplins work brilliant filmmaker and all around moviemaking artist. Same with Buster Keaton. I gave a fee other Criterion ones I have are Jackie Chan's Super Cop 1 & 2,The Bruce Lee collection,Night of the Living Dead,The Irishman and War of the Worlds .
Waiting for godzilla vs kong 4k steelbook unboxing and full review sir..
What a great collection. Thanks for posting this.
I have a question about "Nashville," which Paramount is going to release in August as part of its Paramount Presents line. The August release will include a new 4K restoration on Blu-ray, which would be an upgrade from Criterion's 2k restoration. I wonder how much difference you think that would make?
I trust your insights into the quality of various transfers so I would love to hear your thoughts.
Please review come and see + the great escape in one video
You need to pick up “stalker” spine number 888 one of the greatest movies ever made.
It certainly is a movie.
I notice you cut away often when you started talking more in depth about certain movies. Is there a longer/less edited video? I'd love to hear your take on some of these.
So what's the appeal for Criterion over regular Release's?
Is there any possibility that Wes Anderson films get 4K releases?
How much does the complete Criterion library cost?
Can anyone give me a short explanation on what criterion is and why it’s a little more pricey than a regular Blu-ray/DVD?
The transfer is typically overviewed by directors or cinematographers who worked on the movies. They also contain nice booklets/covers and things like that. Some get better special features, some are only released on criterion. Personally, unless you’re big on film and want to see how things got made and have best quality, you’re better with normal blu rays due to the price. I only get criterion’s on personal favorites of mine
I'm up to 118 Criterion releases
What would you say is your favourite Criterion release of the ones you own? Not necessarily your favourite movie, just favourite in terms of special features, packaging, restauration etc.
I love criterion collection! Great collection! Lots of wonderful films I loved and some titles have been on my radar for quite some time but havent picked it up yet. I have a video of my entire criterion blu-ray collection as well up in my channel. Keep up the amazing work! Have a good one and take care.
