Ethan Hawke's first Criterion visit was legendary. No commentary on any films, barely even a word spoken, didn't even hold most of the movies up for us to see; just him and his friend shoveling movies into their bag at break-neck speed and then vanishing like thieves in the night. A true master.

I'm going to very respectfully disagree on that one. Twice a year I face a 14 hour flight and it's very difficult for me to find films which I actually want to watch (because I've already seen the ones I'm interested in). So if a film can keep me engaged during arguably the worst bits of my year, it's doing something right. Moon was one. The Liberace movie was another. There have been a few, but they're rare.
