Sorry if you guys hate these posts, I just find your opinions, knowledge and advice very useful.
Could somebody look at my collection, and by looking at my Criterions and maybe my other Blu Rays as well, could you tell me what you think is a Criterion that needs to be in my collection, based on what I own? Or 2, if you want. Thanks!

Pierrot le fou is one I think you would enjoy. It is OOP, but Amazon still has it in stock.

"The Bicycle Thieves" (DVD) is a great film, in my opinion. It kept me engrossed the entire time.

The 400 Blows and Seven Samurai, by far.

Excellent suggestions.

[BasicGreatGuy]

Can't go wrong with "Modern Times."

Mhmm. Or Night of the Hunter. You know what, just get 'em all, except for that Wes Anderson stuff. You can skip those ones, even though you already have one...

[BasicGreatGuy]

"Ride with the Devil" is another one I think you would enjoy, Slick.

[ShellOilJunior]

More Bergman on the way

"Night of the Hunter" is another excellent mention. Criterion does release a lot of wonderful movies.

Edited to add: I don't know about getting all of them. There are a few (like AntiChrist etc) that sound too disturbing for me.
Slick, don't limit your scope to Blu-ray only. Criterion has a rich selection of DVD gems.

Thanks for the suggestions! Pierrot le fou does look good, I've been thinking about it. Haven't heard much about Ride With the Devil, could somebody tell me more? I know it is a Civil War film.

I love Wes Anderson! I am definately buying Bottle Rocket. But I can see how someone wouldn't like his stuff. Different strokes for different folks.

Agreed. A lot of the truly great Criterions can be found on DVD, like Z. I myself, however, has stopped buying DVDs because a lot of the films will make their way to Blu-ray at some point, I feel.

LOL, I already have Antichrist. It is disturbing, but a great film. If you can get into the meaning of it, it will blow you way. It is engrossing, but hard to watch. Beautiful cinematography.

Best Buy of all places has it in stock.

Three possible scenarios:

1. We're seeing the dwindling supply run out of the initial printing. More copies to be printed.
2. Supplies are low because Criterion is going to release another Blu-ray version.
3. It's out of print.

Just in case # 3 is the situation, I ordered it directly from Criterion last night.

Last Year At Marienbad or Mystery Train

And as for the boat in the picture.......Fishing with John anyone?

[BasicGreatGuy]

Slick,
I would also work on getting "The Third Man." A true gem of Film Noir. You can get one brand new in the plastic case on Amazon market right now. Yes, the price is high, but worth it, for anyone that doesn't have it already.

[Yankees0222]

Wild Strawberries on the way!! I just hope its not an end of the year, december release lol

[ShellOilJunior]

I haven't looked at the drawing analysis but do I also see Solaris in there?
