Be honest. How many of these do you own? What do you think are

>>79208102
I think I own 6. I pretty much only buy from the criterion collection when it is the first time something is on bluray. Otherwise, it's usually not worth the extra $20

When are they going to make filmstruck something people actually want to use?

>>79208102
about 80-90 i think, plus 3 eclipse sets

>essential
in what way? if you mean the most culturally and historically relevant, then the ones from the "major" art directors (Kurosawa, Bergman, Godard, etc.) and whatever else appears on stuff like the Sight & Sound decennial Best lists or the TSPDT Top 1000

>>79208219
Never. They should have just kept shit on Amazon

>>79208102
>essential
I'll take that to mean the releases that best exemplify what Criterion's built their name on ("Important" films, great transfers, great supplements, great cover art), then I'd say:

The Thin Red Line
Kagemusha
Qatsi trilogy
The Night of the Hunter
The Seventh Seal
The Sweet Smell of Success

just off the top of my head

>>79208838
>ghatwak
you mean Ray? they don't have any Ghatwak yet

>>79208335
>>79208839
By essential I just meant which ones would you have no trouble recommending to someone.

Brazil
Being John Malkovich
Repo Men

fyi they usually have a half-off "flash" sale at their web store around Valentine's Day/late February

and Amazon year-round has them for pretty decent prices, typically 30-40% off
