Best Criterion Movies

[jcflash5]

Many people have told me what criterions are all about and I thing that it is time for the collecting to start. I don't really enjoy black and white movies as much as color and I was wondering what are the best criterion color movies out there.

Ride with the Devil
The Thin Red Line
The Last Emperor
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Bigger Than Life

Those are all of the color Criterions I own and they are worth every penny.

Charade
The Red Shoes
The Thin Red Line
Days of Heaven

All great movies in color from Criterion that I own.

[Chloenator]

Che

[critterdvd]

Traffic
Dazed and Confused

[Darkcritic]

- Army of Shadows
- Che
- Solaris
- Red Desert
- Paris, Texas
- The Thin Red Line

In all honesty, I think you should also post what kind of film you like. All the films I listed above are amazing pieces of filmmaking but they greatly differ in style. Also, there are some truly amazing B&W films in the CC, you should give some a try .

Sigh. I refuse to answer because of this.

I wouldn't say that. I don't enjoy black and white as much as color. I like raging bull. If its a really good black and white. I'll watch it but if it's average then absolutely not.

Unfortunately, you won't know if it's really good or just average UNTIL you watch it... since everyone has different tastes. So you probably shouldn't limit yourself if you are truly on the lookout for great movies.

Just because someone tells you something is good doesn't make it so... and vice versa. You have to find YOUR favorites on your own.

That said, I'm only listing B&W movies.
Seven samurai
Repulsion
Diabolique
Sweet Smell Of Success
The Seventh Seal
The Killing
The 400 Blows

Okay, and Three Colors Trilogy (which is obviously in color)

From looking at your current collection I recommend NOT blind buying in Criterion movies. Not trying to say I dislike your connection I just feel with your taste in movies you are likely to be put off by the majority of titles Criterion has to offer.

Criterion doesn't "Make" movies.... so every movie is potentially a future Criterion movie

Although stylistically they use the colors in each installment, the fact that it's called "Three Colors Trilogy" (or the individual colors there-in) has nothing to do with the fact that it is in color..... the Three Colors Trilogy could be in B&W and wouldn't lose the meaning of "The Three Colors"
