a few of my favorite French films in the Criterion Collection from what I've seen are Purple Noon, Belle de Jour, The Young Girls of Rochefort, La Belle et la Bête, and Blue is the Warmest Color. I also love Portrait of a Lady on Fire and really like Godard. hard to choose a favorite of his but I find Breathless the most rewatchable. Jean-Pierre Melville's films are great, too, but the ones I prefer are currently OOP from Criterion but do have Kino releases: Le Doulos and Léon Morin, Prêtre. Arrow has a couple boxsets of Claude Chabrol's films which you might be interested in considering you liked La Cérémonie.

Having recently watched Winchester 73 for the first time, I'm hard pressed to think of Westerns I think superior. The Searchers, Liberty Valence, that's about it. I'm curious as to what you'd place above it.

Solid western no one looks as cool as lee van cleef smoking a pipe 👌🏻

A very interesting video,, Portrait of A Lady On Fire yes I will agree is an absolutely beautiful film and just great overall, big fan of Godard myself especially Band Of Outsiders and Pierot Le Fou. One recommendation if you have not seen it that is French is Celine And Julie Go Boating.

I love that you just don’t care at all about Jerry. 😂

I have seen many Ozu films, but I had only recently seen Good Morning. It's beautiful, charming, and I loved it.

Great video and some nice selections. I have both Thelma and Louise as well as Taste of Cherry in my collection. The latter is by far one of the most interesting films I've seen recently. I stumbled upon your channel by accident and must say I love your content. Liked and Sub-d.

Have u seen The Exterminating Angel by chance?

This is a genuine Jimmy Stewart 1950's western complete with a bunch of well known character actors! Plus - as a bonus - the most decorated U.S. solider in WWII Audie Murphy in a co-starring role. He found his mark as an actor in westerns! The story is believable and the acting is good. And the bad guy is Dan Duryea, one of the most versatile actors of his generation! He seems to always play a symathetic bad guy, like with Jimmy Stewatrt in Winchester '73! (This guy mispronounces his name)

Love Jimmy Stewart 😍 dont think i have seen this one though

Stewart is a legend, his range of acting is incredible, drama, comedy, westerns, the man did it all, and according to one person I actually know who met him while he was still with us, an absolute great human being.

I do like check out your videos and content

I’m new on your channel

Great selections. I have added Good Morning to my list for the next B&N sale.

This movie is in my top two favorite movies of all time! Which place it gets depends on my mood. Extremely emotional!

Frank capri one sounds good 👍🏻

Thelma and Louise is fantastic 😍 great video mate 👍🏻

Nice suggestions. I hear Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales is also a good value.

Klaus' Nosferatu feels like a lonesome man desperate for love. I like that over Eggers' version.

Thanks for highlighting this gem. It’s such a great, great documentary and made me go back and discover the rich vein of Italian cinema I was ignorant of (but in hindsight I do wish he’d touched on Commedia all'italiana more). That said, I find his personal journey through American cinema to overshadow it, it’s one of the best documentary series on film, told by a film lover with deep insight and humility. You can tell how awed he is by these films regardless of his own successes. Both documentaries are an education and give a wonderful overview of film history.

I need to get Show Boat, I highly recommend the book "Paul Robeson - The Artist as Revolutionary" he's possibly the greatest man to have lived in the 20th Century.

Love that lotr steel book! 🤌🏻

It was a good movie, with that said I wasn't a fan of destry ending up using guns. I was really hoping for a true pacifistic resolution.

All that jazz i need to pick up, wings of desire iv just picked up 💿👈🏻👌🏻 love Peter falk , looks interesting 👌🏻

3 films I haven't seen mate 💿💿💿👈🏻

I have only seen Show Boat out of these three.

Aftersun moved me very deeply. Have you seen Petit Maman?

Appreciate you making this video. Mulholland Drive was my first David Lynch movie and it completely changed my perspective. You can watch that one, go through Twin Peaks and finally come to Inland Empire, perhaps his magnum opus.

Nice tribute to one of the greats. Mulholland Drive is the obvious choice from his filmography, but I would also recommend The Straight Story. It's very unlike anything else he's done.

Looking forward to Some Like It Hot on 4k, the stuff that Wilder got away with in that film is hilarious. I highly recommend Jean de Florette and Manon de Sources, especially the second, great plot, acting and will look beautiful in 4k.

Well put. I think it's a very touching piece of cinema that will be fondly remembered for years to come. Thanks for the review!

Zone of interest iv been interested in getting myself 👍🏻

Nice haul! Aftersun is so good, it's one of my favorite movies

It is amazing to have these in B&N and some in Walmart now.

Two films which I really like and they are, Shall We Say.. California Stuff. Firstly :Vertigo. I really was with this film with which I began.. Wanting to visit California - Endeed the first thing I did while I was in San Francisco was visiting the place where Kim Novak jumps into the Ocean ( Without, in my case, jumping into the cold waters).. And the other film which I believe catch "California" very well indeed, it's Liquorice Pizza.. Film that I really like and my opinion was underrated by the critics. Have a great Weekend and Greetings from Spain

Ann Savage plays Vera in Detour. Her meanness is the twin to Tierney’s twisted madness. The coldest and darkest hearts, even worse than Phyllis! On Criterion, Short Cuts and The Graduate immediately spring to mind when I think of quintessentially California films. Kiss Me Deadly follows them. These are total classics to me like Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce and Paris Texas. I was lucky to see Mildred Pierce again at the cinema last year and was completely absorbed by it, so assured in how to tell its story that I fell right into it. Made by master crafts people at their peek. An overlooked gem is Thieves Highway, a San Francisco set noir, with the great Lee J. Cobb and Richard Conte. Thanks for highlighting some true classics.

Im 54 loved the dollars trilogy since childhood and spaghetti westerns and i have never seen yojimbo seven samurai etc maybe this video is aimed at me 😅, dig that shirt btw 👌🏻

For people just getting into Criterion, you really can't beat the CC40 boxset! (When it's on sale, of course.)

Very interesting list, the Before Trilogy is superb, I would also highly recommend The Ranown Westerns if anyone is into that genre.

Some nice editions mate 👍🏻💿

Somehow this passed me by, not even heard of it before your review - even though I love Robert Ryan. Managed to get a copy of the Masters of Cinema release from the UK a week or two ago. What an amazing film, totally blown away by it! I thought it should have ended when they rode out of town to their inevitable deaths, the end, fade to black. But they had to tie it up with a more palatable and softer conclusion, for the times I imagine. But overall I loved this film, bleak and raw like the landscape, with superb performances by Ryan and Ives. Up there with Ryan’s best films like The Set-up or Odds Against Tomorrow or On Dangerous Ground (another snowbound gem). Thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts and bringing it to my attention.

Zatoichi boxset? "The Third Man" pre-OOP, "Lone Wolf and Cub" boxset

This is only UK coded, correct? Not playable in standard North American machines?

Only seen dr strange love

This is actual one of the R&J film adaptations I haven't scene. I may finally have to give it a watch this year! Great video.

The 1990 Hamlet adaptation with Mel Gibson was an interesting effort, but suffered from a severely truncated text by director Zeffirelli, presumably in the interest of a shorter running time and to make it more palatable for 'the kids'. Gibson may have been big box office at the time but in the movie he looks like exactly what he was: a 34 year old actor of limited range grappling with a Mount Everest of a role while also trying to act 'younger'. Despite the flaws, however, the film does have an atmospheric setting, a tone suitable to the story, and an absolute gem of a performance by Alan Bates as Claudio who elevates each and every scene he's in. Propero's Books (1991) was the closest chance John Gielgud had be part of a screen adaptation of his beloved The Tempest, but the defiantly art-house direction style makes this film somewhat less than viewer-friendly. On a happier note, I do enjoy the various filmic attempts by Orson Welles to bring Shakespeare to the screen. His efforts, while admittedly a mixed bag, contain moments of vision and brilliance, and Welles' vocal delivery is invariably sublime.

Antichrist is a good one to mention too imo.
