What are peoples top 5 jaw dropping performances in collection? (go to 10 if you can!)

Im a bit overwhelmed to name mine at the moment, all I can think of is Bjork but alas this film isn't in the collection. Of course Charlotte Gainsbourg jumps out for me in Antichrist.

Also it has occurred to me we still have NO Haneke in collection, his films are so raw and powerful - come on C!

The first one that came to mind was Giulietta Masina in La Strada.

Why has it taken me so long to see A Woman Under the Influence!?

Because you're always too busy reveling in the pretension of Lars von Trier.

I don't go on about Lars Von Trier that much (ignore my signature lol) :P although I do love his films :P

Nancy Allen already leaked it. Good one Criterion.

Just curious, when did Nancy Allen leak it?

[hoytereden]

I cheated a little on my top 5 performances

Female:
Giulietta Masina La Strada
Kathleen Byron Black Narcissus
Setsuko Hara Tokyo Story
Louise Brooks Pandora's Box
Deborah Kerr The Innocents

Male:
Carlo Battisti Umberto D
Marlon Brando On the Waterfront
Kirk Douglas Ace in the Hole
Max Von Sydow The Seventh Seal
Joseph Cotton The Third Man

I just picked from titles I own and, for some reason, it was far easier to come up with the female performances than the male.

Haha I know what you mean, when I think of performances the main ones for me are women... its a bit odd!

I forgot Liv Ullman and Ingrid Bergman in Autumn Sonata!

I don't think she meant to. She simply posted photos with the caption that it was from the Criterion get together for the film's Blu-ray.

I could have easily filled my list with Bergman female performances so I didn't choose them. I debated on his male performances and picked Von Sydow over Gunnar Bjorstrand in Winter Light. I don't own Wild Strawberries or Victor Sjostrom would have been my choice.

That's to be expected, considering he went for the cheap $60k sled instead of the real deal $233k one

Most obvious? Gonna have to give my vote to Inside Llewyn Davis for that.

I totally agree!

Does anyone have a complete list of all the digipacks that were released on Blu-ray?
