Hey guys! Sorry about the weird lag in this video. It's not an editing or exporting issue. The raw footage was recorded that way for some reason. Hopefully it's not too distracting, and you can still enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!
Excellent pick ups. Have all four myself (Man Who Fell to Earth on DVD w/the novel). Favorite of the four is Red River, but they all have their charms and are very interesting. One of the things that I like most about Criterion is that I very rarely walk away from a blind buy from them and say and say "well, that was a waste of my time". I suspect you will enjoy all four - enjoy.
I just bought and received Nashville (Criterion) this week as well.
Criterion announced they are bringing back Days of Heaven so hoping they will bring back Nashville and Harold and Maude as well.
My fav Altman in the collection is 3 Women, I highly recommend it.
All these look exceptional. My copy of Man Who Fell To Earth also came with the novel of it. Was an interesting companion. I think reading it sort of clarified some things that the movie itself doesn't quite elucidate. But oh my! That Red River looks amazing! Nashville, too. A stacked trio. Awesome additions, DJ!
I was interested in the Red River box and the main OOP that I wanted was Rosemary's Baby. A few years ago I had it in my cart at B&N and changed my mind thinking I could get it later. I'm kicking myself for not getting it.
Congrats, DJ! If you're like me, you let out a "Whew" when you finally are able to get something for a decent price that is difficult to obtain. I do have the Criterion release of "Nashville," and it's probably my favorite Altman film. Henry Gibson's performance is especially interesting to me as I remember him from TV's "Laugh-In" in the late '60s/early '70s. I also have Criterion's "Harold and Maude," which I like but don't love. I especially like Ruth Gordon's performance and the Cat Stevens soundtrack. "Red River" is a classic and there are people who prefer it to "The Searchers," but I much prefer the latter. Sadly, I have not seen "The Man Who fell to Earth," and I have to rectify that situation one of these days. Finally, I do hope you'll watch "Don't Look Now" soon. I think it's excellent and can't wait to hear your opinion.
Harold & Maude is one of my favorite movies!! It's a dark comedy that I find funnier each rewatch! I hated Harold's mom the first watch but now I think she's hysterical! I absolutely love the film and love Ruth Gordon as Maude :)
Good catches on the OOP Criterions, especially the Roeg THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, which I loved along with the great RED RIVER. NASHVILLE was a decent film along with HAROLD AND MAUDE.
I'm looking forward to Red River. Grace and I have been on a western kick lately. We've recently watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Winchester '73, and Destry Rides Again. All great movies!
@@FilmsByColor DJ, I'm sure you've seen THE SEARCHERS. As you know, I like John Ford's films. Anthony Mann is another great Western director. You get THE FURIES, if you already don't have it. I love Barbara Stanwick, one of the greats of the Golden Age of Hollywood that is so versatile, creating great films in so many different genres.
I think Chungking Express was Criterion’s first BD release! So if you find that original slipcase edition, that’s like owning a little piece of history! (Why did Criterion stop producing their digipack editions with the pocket; so elegant)
I am eager to watch that movie because of how much I fell in love with In the Mood for Love, but I haven’t watched any more of Wong Kar-wai’s films yet.
Oh wow, that's really cool. I knew it was early, but I didn't know it was the first. I'd like to own that one. Conner's mentioned to me how much you adored In the Mood for Love. I need to check out some Wong Kar-wai soon!
If you liked Nashville, you’ll like Short Cuts which is very similar in structure.
I have heard wonderful reviews on the Paramount's restoration of Harold & Maude and Nashville, and are supposedly better than the Criterion grades. Since I'm exclusively buying 4K's now, I'm hoping these get re-released sometime this year. Our library has all these Criterions, so I'll probably rent The Man Who Fell to Earth and Red River. Nice picks nevertheless.
Yeah I was tempted to pick up the Paramount releases. I bought these a while ago before Criterion announced the re-releases of Don't Look Now and Days of Heaven. I'm definitely gonna hold off on picking up any more of the Out of Print Paramount titles for now.
Happy Friday, DJ!
I have not watched any of these yet. I still have Nashville written in my movie watch list as being the most American movie as suggested by the great Conner.
Currently, my nominations are Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and, of course, Jingle All the Way.
Sincerely,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Uncultured Swine
I think you answered why I didn't like it, as I said here. It's waaaaay toooo American and I'm not American. It simply didn't click.
@@brunomachado7279 Nashville?
@@JohnHenrysaysHi Yes!
@@brunomachado7279 Gotcha! I haven't seen it, so is there a superficial commercial American-ness that isn't universal compared to say for an example "It's a Wonderful Life" where that had more focus on family and theme focusing on the value of the preciousness of even a single life?
@@JohnHenrysaysHi something like that! I think Frank Capra is the Chris Columbus of the 30s and 40s. His films are very American family driven in a very childish way. But Nashville is even more annoying. It's a propaganda.
More movies from the Criterion Collection
Hey Lewis! Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
@@FilmsByColor anytime DJ
I have Nashville with a different box. Not a big fan of the film, anyway. I felt really bored during it.
