One of the things i like about I Wanna Hold Your Hand is its probably the last time a film about Beatlemania made while all four Beatles were still alive. Great movie, you can see influence for Used Cars BTTF and other Zemeckis movies in it. Its a perfect companion for a double feature for the mentioned Dazed and Confused or American Graffiti

Thanks for the recommendations! I only have a handful of Criterion titles currently, but a lot of these look great, and so I hit up B&N and probably spent a lot more than I had to! Got "The Hidden Fortress" and "The Complete Lady Snowblood" from your recommendations, but also grabbed "The Princess Bride", "It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", "Fantastic Mr. Fox", and "Shaft (in 4K)". Wanted to also get "When We Were Kings", but it wasn't available to ship online and only good for store pickup (closest store is a couple of hours away), so I'm holding off on that. I did sign up for the Criterion newsletter on their site so that I'll get notified of sales in the future too, so thanks for the heads up on that.

if you haven't seen them, my 10 recommendations for the sale that cover a good range of styles are -High And Low (1963): Part pressure cooker kidnapping story and part police procedural, Kurosawa pulls of both really excellently here. Lots of interesting stuff about moral quandaries and social class -Mikey And Nicky (1976): Atypical take on the gangster film that becomes a really impactful look at male friendship -not one film, but The Essential Jacques Demy box set contains a lot of good stuff ranging from a fairy tale to a musical romantic comedy to a dark drama about gambling addiction -Tampopo (1985): A comedy about making the perfect bowl of ramen which riffs on the style of westerns. Lots of funny vignettes intercut into the main story that are all about people's relationship with food -Detour (1945): Super tightly paced film noir story about a man who steals the identity of a dead man and is then blackmailed by a woman who knows his secret -Rififi (1955): Quintessential heist film with an incredible heist scene performed in total silence -Death by Hanging (1968): Biting dark comedy satire of capital punishment in Japan and Japanese treatment of Koreans that goes to some really strange places and a totally unpredictable ending -Twenty-Four Eyes (1954): Different kind of war film set from the perspective of an elementary school teacher in a small Japanese town before, during, and after WWII as she sees her first grade class grow up over the years as Japan becomes increasingly fascist -The 39 Steps (1935): Hitchcock's precursor to North By Northwest that I think manages to tell the same story with tighter pacing and better comedic elements -Death of a Cyclist (1955): Interesting story about how guilt eats you alive from the inside. Also a look at class privilege in fascist Spain and what people would do to hold onto it

Nice picks! It's tough to try to make a list like this, but I appreciate that you had a fairly wide span of style and theme. Fun fact: The woman holding the shotgun in the scene from Night of the Hunter is Lillian Gish, of silent film fame. (By the time this was made, she was primarily working in theater, but she did choose films on occasion.) And if I remember correctly, The Uninvited was the first film to depict ghosts as legitimate entities, rather than trickery or some kind of dream/hallucination. That there was no earthly explanation for the paranormal activity in the film particularly disturbed audiences at the time.

I think it's number 4 for me, but considering 12 Monkeys and Brazil (pick up that Criterion if you haven't) are the competition, that's really good company! A 4K suggestion for me would be Menace II Society. The darkest of the early 90's hood films. The Blu-ray for Deep Cover is one not to overlook either. Really good cast with Lawrence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum, and Charles Martin Smith.

I was disappointed by The Last Temptation Of Christ but apparently it's an uncorrectable source problem. I'm hoping Criterion will release When Worlds Collide.

It has the actual astronauts who narrate it that makes this documentary extra special and meaningful. It has two aspect ratios, a commentary with the director and Apollo 17’s astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last man on the moon. The color is fantastic as well as the 5.1 DTS-HD surround sound. This is an excellent documentary.

@@JeffRauseo No, this was done by the director and documentarian Al Reinert, who worked for NASA. He found footage in a deep freeze film vault from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions that were never released to the public. For instance, he found excellent footage of a rocket launching on the launch pad and during the different stage separations as the astronauts went to the Moon or around the Earth. The engineers installed these cameras in case something may go wrong during a mission. The director had a chance to talk to about twenty astronauts about their experiences. As you watch the documentary, the astronauts narrate it, not television reporters. The director also found a lot of footage of mission control at Johnson Space Center during those missions. Later footage shows some astronauts goofing off while walking on the Moon, collecting Moon rocks, and riding on the Lunar Rover. Lastly, this same director helped write the script for Ron Howard's "Apollo 13" film. I think you would enjoy this documentary, especially if you are interested in space exploration. This has both the 4k and Blu-Ray discs with many special features.

Two more strong psychological thriller movies from Criterion are 'The Vanishing' (European version) and 'Peeping Tom' (although this movie is current OOP). 'The Vanishing' is one of the most psychologically disturbing movies ever and one of my favorites. Not to be confused with the terrible American remake with Keefer Sutherland. Peeping Tom was shocking for when it was released in 1960. Basically a serial killer that makes snuff films. Not graphic by today's standards, but banned in many countries for a long time.

I don’t have the 4K. I’ve watched it all the way through several times
