The only guess I've seen on that one is A Farewell to Arms.

Artist did a pretty good job, nailed the outfit and everything.

Something in between like this might have worked better too:

I watched 'The 400 Blows' last night and enjoyed it a lot. I'm looking into more Criterion films to watch. I haven't looked at what's all in the collection but I know that I've seen Weekend and Boyhood from the collection as well!

Yeah, 400 Blows is pretty great. I was one of the first non-mainstream Criterion's I watched and it blew me away.

Also check out My Life As A Dog. It's a beautiful and unique coming of age story as well.

The first one that comes to mind for me was Wages of Fear (DVD). I really would like to see more Clouzot on Criterion BD.

exolstice · 09-02-2017, 01:18 AM

I had The Rock, Armageddon, and Robocop on DVD. Then I started looking at others based on the descriptions. I think the real first one I checked out was Rashomon, also great.

More Clouzot on any BD would be welcome, Criterion or not.

If you haven't already watched it, "Day for Night" is another great Truffaut film that has a Criterion BluRay release.

When the clue first appeared, my guess was Peter Weir's The Last Wave.

"O" - "T" - Hello!

I wonder if that's why David Byrne was at the offices.

Either way, thanks for sharing!

Haha, I guessed something similar back in February. It's a bit of a stretch, but who knows.

Also maybe I'm stretching things, but do you think the letter "T" could be for Othello somehow? It's a "T saying Hi = T...Hello..maybee?

My favorite "stretch" theory of mine is:

Clue "T" --> Klu T --> Klute

just watched my copy of "The In-Laws" last night and noticed some really awful audio sync issues throughout the movie. the supplements seemed fine and even the film clips therein seemed more in sync than the actual feature. i'm curious if anyone else has noticed this. at first i thought it was just poor looping, but some of it was just really awful. am i the only one? should i contact Criterion about this?

Class316 · 09-03-2017, 04:12 AM

Holy crap has this set been discussed?

https://www.amazon.com/Years-Olympic...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I've been waiting for Olympia I and II to be out on blu for ages!

This set is sadly too rich for my blood

I had made a quick search here couldn't find it.

But I'll throw this here, if anyone here finds Olympia I and II too repulsive to have in your collection, I'll take them off your hands

cakefactory · 09-03-2017, 05:42 AM

Woman of the Year - I wish I'd read a spoiler on the ending, cause I spent most of the movie getting more and more annoyed at it looking like it was going to be another "Funny Face." When the ending finally hit, I wished I had known that was going to happen so all the cuts at the idea of a woman having a job and especially the last act wouldn't have bugged me. Someday I'll have to rewatch it.

I still laughed at some of the breakfast scene.

There's been reports of some Criterion titles having this issue lately. Lost in America was reported by a couple people to have this issue as well but my copy of Lost in America is fine
