Guest Soothsayer Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Watching the new'n'nifty Berlin Alexanderplatz set they just released has had me all ga-ga over Criterion again(but really, when am I not, eh?). Anyway, yeah, opening the floor to say whatever you want to say about Criterion, the films they've released, why they're great/suck, etc. The Days of Heaven release is wonderful.

Bob Dylan Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Too expensive (fifty bucks for a movie, WTF!), never bought one. They lost many cinephile with that price bracket.

Guest Rook Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I hate them because they are expensive and don't print Notorious anymore. But I love them because you know you will get quality. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/28617-criterion-collection/#findComment-605271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Soothsayer Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Their not printing Notorious anymore is a shame, hopefully they'll reissue eventually, seeing as they just did for The Lady Vanishes.

Guest Soothsayer Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Probably like this site...wallpapers up the wazoo Criterion Dungeon I really liked that Chris Marker set, the extras aren't that thrilling, but yeah, it's just nice to have those films on dvd in really nice transfers.

onecaseman Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I just picked up the Breathless Criterion. Haven't really checked the extras yet. The only other film I own from them is Kicking and Screaming, which is great and has nice extras. I don't buy DVD's ever really.
