Well OP, I can tell you, I got my first Criterion DVD when I was 13 years old, yep. Seven Samurai, now that was a kicker. Back when movies used to be special, used to mean something to me... now I'm way too critical. But listen, if you've still got that glimmer in your eye, then nothing is really better than a lot of the Japanese films they have available. It's great entry-level material, Japanese Golden Age produced some really amazing stuff. You are better off just going through a list of directors to see what you like rather than going for individual works... but there are some great one-offs too. Have you ever played the game Earthbound? Try "Crazed Fruit", I forgot the director but that's a great movie. Masaki Kobayashi is considered a master. "Sansho the Bailiff" is considered his best I believe, although I didn't enjoy it as much as some others. Anything by Kurosawa is fantastic, you should familiarize yourself with him before anything else. Ozu is also mandatory, and the Collection has a bunch of relatively obscure works from him (anything besides Tokyo Story basically) but they are all considered classics, especially his "seasons" movies. "Kwaidan" is one of my favorite movies, a beautifully, BEAUTIFULLY, shot ghost story. Just an amazing movie. Finally, Hiroshi Teshigahara- "Woman in the Dunes" is just a really interesting experience. I remember it vividly. Finally, brief mentions - "Dodes'ka'den", Kurosawa. Vivid colors. "Harakiri" by same director as Kwaidan, also a must-see. Seijun Suzuki. HAUSU, of course. Absolute must-watch. The 20s-era films like "Mr. Thank You" are well worth watching too. "Onibaba" and "Kuroneko" for serious 60s Japanese horror. Damn now I'm hard, thanks for giving me an erection OP, well anyway this should be enough to tide you over. If you ever need anything my IP is 157.62.88.0 so don't be a stranger.

I watched pic related on /tv/'s reco. No wonder everyone loves Deneuve.

Dont be a fag and only watch movies because they have criterion stamped on them. Buy criterions because they usually have the best transfers of movies you liked or loved compared to other versions or distribution companies

Jesus dude.
That being said, all of this does seem to suggest a superior taste in films.

That's in the Criterion Collection? Damn. I got the Collector's Edition Blu-ray when it came out last year.

What I wouldn't recommend is Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, it's glorified pedoshit.

Well done, you've just recommended it.

>>86235555
Is that a band? It really got me with UTorrent, BrowsHeldHigh, and Criterion. I was also gonna go through PTA's filmography cause I loved Punch Drunk Love.

>>86235828
Nope, Stan Brakhage was a filmmaker in the 80s and 90s who made movies by applying a variety of techniques to the film itself such as pasting insect wings, grass, thin crystals etc and using various dyes to create interesting visual effects. Few of his films have any sound. He also did a lot of other shit, he filmed a freshly dead body

>>86231180
Lonewolf and cub is a pretty good collection.

No film maker in history that is worth a shit thinks Kurosawa is "pretty overrated". Here's your (You)

>>86231180
I recently watched Jigoku and it wasnt very good.

Godzilla
Andrei Rubleyv

The Battle of Algiers is really good. Not memeing whatsoever.

I usually can't stand older movies, especially most of the pretentious "kino" classics in the Criterion collection but this one is different.

The fact that the plot is almost even more relevant today and the way it's shot and directed make it feel like it could have been released nowadays and still be considered good.

Criminally underrated war epic, was overshadowed by being released when Saving Private Ryan was.

Lets just say there is a reason Thin Red Line is in the Criterion Collection and Saving Private Ryan is not

Blow Out

yeah i can see you're into him a lot

>>86239405
>Daisies (probably the best film by a woman ever)
watch more films

>>86241198
Because there's no need to release one of the most famous recent movies in contemporary cinema?

Both are great and they complement each other. Don't be an idiot.

>>86241198
a lot of /tv/'s favorite films never got criterion releases and probably never will due to the fact that they were popular

popular =/= automatically bad

unpopular =/= automatically good

>The story revolves around the life of Oskar Matzerath, as narrated by himself when confined in a mental hospital during the years 1952–1954. Born in 1924 in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland), with an adult's capacity for thought and perception, he decides never to grow up when he hears his father declare that he would become a grocer. Gifted with a piercing shriek that can shatter glass or be used as a weapon, Oskar declares himself to be one of those "clairaudient infants", whose "spiritual development is complete at birth and only needs to affirm itself". He retains the stature of a child while living through the beginning of World War II, several love affairs, and the world of postwar Europe. Through all this, a toy tin drum, the first of which he received as a present on his third birthday, followed by many replacement drums each time he wears one out from over-vigorous drumming, remains his treasured possession; he is willing to commit violence to retain it.

So the main character uses autistic screeching?
