The Criterion Collection

I have no framed pictures or anything mounted on my walls, no limited edition artwork, no posters, etc. Since nobody really sees my living quarters, I basically have no reason to display anything of any importance in my life. I've started to realize that "less is more" and most importantly, I'm a minimalist so that means, less dusting!

I agree with the dusting issue. I just love looking at the lobby cards on the walls, imagining where they've been, were they displayed in a theater?, who else owned them over the years, etc. One of those "If they could talk" things. Kinda makes a more personal connection to the film. Sounds weird, I know.

Yeah... hate the dusting of all my stuff.

I might have put this up before, so apologies if so. This is my 400 Blows print, which was produced for an exhibition last year and sits on a wall in our living room.

It's a limited edition of 200 and the print itself was fairly pricey, but thankfully it's a precise fit for an ikea frame so that helped soften the financial blow (pun intended).

It was sent with a smaller version of which can be cut up and turned into an actual zoetrope too, which was a nice touch.

Very cool. Looks great on the wall.

We used to have this Japanese ALPHAVILLE poster in our old flat, but it's too big for our new place so I had to bin it! I'm still gutted about that.

So finally sitting down to watch Watership Down! Super excited about this! It's been a few years since I've seen it, and my wife is not a fan of this particular film.

Btw, on an unrelated Criterion note... I wish the Flash Sale would include merch, and I wish they made hoodies. I would love a Criterion hoodie.

Thought about doing something like that on Cafe Press, etc. Wonder if my wife can find me one on Etsy? Hmmm.... definitely easy to find a high res image

I use it a fair bit too, with varying results. I bought something from the Wes Anderson Store but the print quality was terrible. On the other hand, I had this custom iPhone case made on there last year which is very nice.

Wow, that's very cool, and looks like it came out well.

With the mention of To the Wonder low price, i checked some other titles and it appears Magnolia Pictures has a sale on some of their titles on Amazon.

There are some pretty good prices on some of the Soderbergh and Von Trier films.

Also films that may be of interest to this forum are:

The Hunt
We Are The Best!
Mr. Nobody

which i believe are also available on Netflix.

Quite pleased with my Under the Skin poster:



Most of my other space goes to bookshelves and records, so don't really have many movie stuff on display (not that I have much to show off, mind you).

Edit: drat! can't post pic from dropbox apparently.

Come on guys - show off your collections lol I love seeing how others store their film stuff :P

I have a "media" room, but I collect so much different crap (retro video games, music, and movies), that I don't have room on my walls. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, 'South Park', 'The Simpsons', and Kansas City Royals memorabilia occupy all of my wall real estate. My movies are stored in a rather nondescript manner as well.

I imagine it's unlikely since the 24 sale would spill into the weekend.
