Revanche was one of the first (maybe even the first) Criterion BDs I bought blind.

Talk about a gateway drug.

Edit: Gold Star for films of the last ten years might have to go to Carlos though.

That is a seriously awesome film and release.

My gold star goes to Secret Sunshine.

Great pick. All fans should also pick up Poetry. What a great filmmaker is Lee Chang-dong.

Ah, of course. I just didn't remember you talking about it before

. Such a great film indeed.

..and my gold star goes to Certified Copy, easily.

Solaris & Red Desert

I bought Marketa Lazarova today, and although beautiful, I just could not get into it like I thought I would. I am offering it to trade if anyone is interested.

Wants:
Westworld
Ninja Scroll
My Neighbor Totoro
The Impossible
Catch me if you can
The last of us (ps3)

Oh, I meant gold star to films from the last 10 years, like we were doing above...

If it was the entire collection, it would most definitely be Paris, Texas for me (with Certified Copy close behind)

Then it has to be between Gomorrah (a great companion to Public Enemies) and Secret Sunshine.

I agree. Poetry was exceptional. I think I may actually prefer it to Secret Sunshine

I decided to take the plunge and pick up The Human Condition on DVD. So I fully expect Criterion to announce the Blu-ray release next Monday. I also got the First Films of Samuel Fuller Eclipse set, and 10 Blu-rays.

I swear when I bought 12 Criterions last month I only had like five more I wanted to get. But then I end up getting ten, and almost bought more. How did that happen?

Jr7936 · 07-09-2013, 09:33 PM

human condition is amazing, got it a few years ago, its hard to watch more then a few times due to the length but such a great film
highly recommend it

If you still needed the help. A little over but those are the best of the bunch.

I ordered Shoah, Marketa Lazarova, By Brakhage, and Sansho the Bailiff. Blind buys on all but Sansho the Bailiff (I have seen a 3 or 4 Brakhage films).

Also, just finished A Hollis Frampton Odyssey the other night. The films are amazing but the package is a little frustrating in that the contextualization of the Magellan films is pretty lacking. They could have at least included his proposed Calendar.

Oh, most definitely. It's among my favorite cinematic experiences. I actually watched it twice within two weeks when I first watched it. I've just been holding out for a Blu-ray release.

I wish B&N had the Kobayashi Eclipse set.

Search for Eclipse 38. It's listed under "Masaki" rather than "Kobayashi".

I've been waiting on a price drop for the Lee Chang-dong DVD set on Amazon for awhile now. I may just have to pull the trigger on it as I don't think it will ever drop to an appealing price. .

ParticleDan · 07-09-2013, 09:46 PM

I think the title I'm most excited for is Pierre Etaix. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up more often in people's lists and photos

Great set! I watched it over a couple days a little while back.

Also, keep on the lookout for A Matter of Life and Death on channels like TCM.

Best movie ever! Hopefully it comes out on Blu-ray some day.
