hes just a genuine guy. whats not to appreciate about this man?

LOL, Criterion's bad timing, 2 weeks after this was posted she was accused of pretty serious stuff, including facilitating rape on set.

Go Payal ❤ Finding you on Criterion Closet picks is amazing

That's a genius form of directing, wow! Having Keith dislike the character he's playing results in Tom being a self-hating narcissist which is integral to the character. Also correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Keith write I'm Easy for Shelley Plimpton? He met her while they were performing in Hair on Broadway and they had an affair that resulted in the birth of their daughter Martha.

Amazing!

I love her podcast. Love her voice. I read her excellent book on Howard Hughes before I knew who she was. Came across her podcast when I'd be searching for specific actresses.

All We Imagine As Movie Recommendations P.S. Satyajit Ray and ‘Paris Is Burning’ mention? WOOOOOOOOO

We get it comment section you hate Native Americans

Just re-watched last night. The movie is so good I didn't even think about how it's in B&W until I watched this

I love that his attitude shifted from a 5 year old showing you his favorite movies, to a dad showing you his favorite movies.

Now THIS is an opening ladies & gents.

Portrait of a Chicken Shop On Fire

❤️

As both a movie and fragrance enthusiast I fully approve her confirming how the closet actually smells like

The real powerful part about this film that you don't realise until second viewing is that none of the people interviewed ever meet each other. The film itself is their meeting place.

I hope you guys invite the creator of (Oscar submission from Pakistan), The Glassworker, a hand drawn anime - Mr. Usman Riaz

Devil in a Blue Dress is wonderful (and in every scene he's in Don Cheadle steals the film from Denzel). Very sad that it didn't do well enough for Washington and Carl Franklin to do more Walter Moseley/Easy Rawlins adaptations. (ADDENDA: If I looked like Jeremy Pope, I'd consider going shirtless also!)

Nepotism

The circus music is insane 😂 If I didn’t already own over half of these I would’ve nabbed it but alas

Please can someone make a list of all the movies Payal recommended. 🫡

Japanese comedienne "Michiko Shimizu" is voice impersonate Teruyo Nogami

Who is this?

I personally didn’t like anything she did after Big Brother, musically they had so much soul with her but her without them was not the same.

Beauty, Sex, Drugs, Dance, Music, Show Biz, Success, Death. That’s the “jazz” in All That Jazz. I’m no actor, but it made a huge impact on my teenage self in the late 70s. IDK why it’s all but forgotten now, either.

wait, he originally wanted to make the next DIE HARD? 😅 dude is the fucking best.

Autoerotismo fanatico dello shopping dei film d'autore.

Glad to see someone choosing something like Love & Basketball. Usually people pick something titled ‘Leaves On The Sidewalk’ and it’s about an unknown 24 hour battle that started outside of a laundromat in a small village in Kyrgyzstan and it all began because a soldier of the militia that ran the town had his clothes from the dryer taken out and put to the side so someone else could use it and it won the Croatian version of an Oscar but the sole Oscar win went to the supporting actor/actress that was the laundromat owner that gave whatever supplies from the broom closet was needed for the protagonist to organize the laundromat patrons to prepare for the incoming militia counterattack, and the supporting actor/actress somehow possesses knowledge of how to make cleaning supply bombs because they were secretly trained as a kid to make bombs by their father when they were a kid because their father was the one who started the militia from an idea spawned during dinner time that he was done with the rules of the village and someone needed to make changes but the kid grew up to see the bigotry in their household and broke away to support theirselves by inheriting the laundromat left to them by the previous caretaker that gave them an opportunity to be the coin collector and lint trap cleaner. Sometimes we just want to see someone pull Scary Movie 2 off the shelf🤷🏾‍♂️

Her tasteeee omggg

I have 23 of the 40 films already, but I hope this becomes an amazing "art film starter pack" for some lucky budding cinephiles who have parents/uncles/aunts with comfortable bank accounts ; )

She reminded me of Rachel Weisz in The Mummy when she exclaimed "Oh gosh! I'm breaking the archives! Oh no"

Ah the DS hotrod

Well worth the 640 dollars I forced someone else to spend for it as my birthday present.

He seems to have a lot to say about capitalism while having benefitted immensely from it.

Great actor. One of my faves.

I love you guys, but, am sorry this is too expensive .Besides i already own most of the titles

Извращенцы

Thanks ratatouille

Jude my darling

Although its lovely ill have to swerve on it as i have all the individual blurays so i'd be double dipping.

legendary.

He just went to the past when he had haunting experience of Salo movie that why he takes a moment while holding salo dvd.

It’s beautifully presented but I’d argue it’s not essential unless you’re a huge Criterion fan or, perhaps moreso, you want a huge collection of 40 films you’ve either not seen or don’t own. So, for a gift for someone eager to discover countless classics or someone who doesn’t want to buy all the original editions it’s an overly expensive but worthy purchase. But if you’ve already got all the films included I have to ask why … … so why?

Ah yes, the image that represents the CC is the most racist looking caricature imaginable.

My favorite part is all the movies he picks out he puts right back cause he already owns them

where are the selectors and the design team clips? am i asking for too much?

uk?

Great way to scratch your discs in those sleeves. I dislike this packaging. The same goes for the Godzilla and Universal monsters sets

Region B please

This set has a beautiful design but it is quite expensive if you compare with the Criterion Bergman box set!
