Blu-ray.com Community's TOP 20 CRITERION RELEASES

[Dailyan]

Seeing numerous genre or decade voting threads I thought I'd do something a little different.



The Criterion Collection is one of (if not THE) the most well known "boutique" labels in home video. Releasing classic, foreign, arthouse, or contemporary films, Criterion has been going strong since the Laserdisc days. I check out member collections and notice there are a lot of Criterion releases (most getting their own dedicated category) and I wonder "what are some of the BEST Criterion Blu Ray releases?"


Complete Blu Ray releases

Criteria:
For ranking take into consideration transfer in video and audio, bonus features, cover art, the film itself (whatever YOU enjoy), overall cultural significance and essentially whatever you feel justifies the price tag. Box sets or double features will be considered ONE release unless a specific film in said set was released individually (Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider for example from America Lost and Found). Box set exclusive films (The Last Picture Show, Alice in the Cities for example) should NOT be ranked individually as they are apart of "America Lost and Found" and "The Road Trilogy".

No DVD releases. 20 is the MAXIMUM. 21 or higher will not be counted in the final results. This is done because it makes counting in the final results slightly easier.

The point system, I take inspiration from Juels Winnfield.
