Great post. This fellow appreciates that he has an audience and provides thm with interesting dialogue about the films he selects with just the right amount of detail and heaps of enthusiasm. I appreciate these guests so much especially compared to others who barely name the movie, fail to show the cover and just shove it in their bag. From Jeremy in Australia a big thanks to Jeremy O. Harris for showing such joy and interest in sharing your knowledge and reactions.

[@mubiedits]

love seeing people giddy with excitement about the films they love!💛

[@eliasmartinez4260]

His take on all those films was so spot on!

[@petej3525]

I can see Jeremy's having so much fun. He's like a kid in a candy store.

[@mikesilva3868]

😊I know right

[@mubiedits]

when he spots All that Jazz😅

[@BrettTaezton]

Maybe don’t mention one of them & “kids” in the same sentence

[@h0lly_blue]

@@BrettTaezton hmm, funny, he doesn't look like a priest, a youth pastor or a politician to me

[@jamesdyble7468]

I'm surprised there's any copies of All That Jazz left in there given that everyone takes it 😂

[@curbsideaudio]

All That Jazz has been picked during 10 other closet visits: Benjamin Millepied, Hari Nef, Joanna Hogg, Lee Unkrich, Josh and Benny Safdie, Patrick Brice, Volker Schlondorff, Chris Eigeman, Joachim Trier, Caitlin Cronenberg

[@ngoodey]

I hadn’t seen All that Jazz or Company until last year and love them both. Also amazes me how some films get relatively forgotten and then because of things like Criterion, get rediscovered all over again

[@nveshecco]

He makes me excited to just sit down and watch a movie! So much required reading to catch up on..

[@theboomonmizar5697]

FAYETTEVILLE, NC! Wow, I never thought my hometown would be mentioned in a Criterion Collection Closet Picks video! Thanks, Jeremy!

[@deathtone1614]

A nice selection of films. I still remember my first time watching Salo. You don’t forget.

[@LadyAmerican]

Totally. I can only watch it on a full moon.

[@antoinepetrov]

I forgot it immediately

[@Leftyenby]

“There’s a lot of yuck in it, but you’ll get to a yum at the very end” Love that description of “Saló” lol. This is my first time hearing about Jeremy O. Harris, and after watching this, I feel like I need to know more! Loved this Criterion Closet episode! Edit: I edited my comment and the heart Criterion gave me disappeared >~

[@ZacharyWeaver-rc8xc]

That line about fosse is brilliant

[@jacksonwright5145]

I have never associated the word "yum" with Salo but I love his enthusiasm 🤣

[@SanshoTheBailiff]

Dude a real 1

[@theboomonmizar5697]

Great closet picks!!! You are picking ALL THE WINNERS. I am so thrilled to see someone who can go from Sweet Sweetback's and I Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death to Company and All That Jazz! A couple of them that you mention are ones I haven't seen, but your taste and knowledge tell me that I MUST SEE all of your recs!

[@resurrectionist1]

"Oh! Oh my God, Yay!" Loved this closet video

[@Bojac]

As a Roanoke VA boy, I laughed really hard about the Barnes & Noble story, having been on the opposite end thinking “I’m gonna drive two hours to Greensboro for the Bruce Lee boxset” But Jeremy, don’t forget there’s a Barnes & Noble in Christiansburg!

[@TheWriteStuffWC]

He’s delightful & the choices are awesome!🎉

[@wierd_fishez]

Agree with Saltburn and Teorema comparison. That's the exact film that came to my mind when I watched Saltburn. The dance scene was also inspired by the iconic Beau Travail ending

[@oh-cx7dr]

the first time i geniunely felt interested in all these new movies ive been introduced to via this channel. i also watch movies on my ps5 hehe

[@Cobralalalala]

Love the Southern VA representation! I go to that Greensboro B&N fairly often, though they sadly no longer have a movie section. Also, excellent choices all around. Van Peebles, Girlfriends, and All that Jazz in particular are top tier for me. 😁

[@JordanEstes]

Same! I went to Greensboro College and that B&N was my hangout spot lol

[@nikoniko4457]

What is the name of the movie he compares to Saltburn?

[@b3z3jm3nny]

Teorema (1968, dir. Pasolini); sometimes also known as "Theorem"

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

“Zola” is number one on my list. In fact I hope i can rent it 🤔

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

Never mind, I got it on MAX 👍

[@deadporg]

@@jamesgwarrior1981It’s my favorite movie of the decade so far. I hate how criminally underrated it’s become

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

@@deadporg that’s awesome. I can’t wait to see it now. Thanks. 🙏🏾

[@jimmuzzi1072]

Glad to see another fan of Girlfriends.

[@postmodernrecycler]

I remember those early days of Criterion at B&N. I wasn't able to woo any boys w/Buñuel or Fassbinder unfortunately. Shoulda been trying the Van Peebles!

[@nlmatta]

Between B&N and Borders, I learned a TON

[@h0lly_blue]

@@nlmatta fuck I miss Borders lol - that said I would definitely recommend for y'all out there to check out whatever local used media/vintage stores you've got in your area or in the vicinity, some of them are absolute gold mines but yeah nothing'll compare to the olden days of trawling through B&N (which is thankfully still around) and Borders for these things fr

[@jacklondon5548]

Spot on about All That Jazz.

[@xofpi]

Folks, if you don’t like all kinds of movies and all kinds of people, go play with yourselves on Stormfront and let the cinephiles have the comments section here.

[@jmdi2703]

Why Critirion Collection never restoration 70's, 80's & 90's Turkish films? Like: "Eşkiya" (1996), "Muhsin Bey" (1986), "Canım Kardeşim" (1973)

[@h0lly_blue]

I think there's some form online where you can submit suggestions for films to be added to the Criterion Collection but IDK for sure, that's just a wild guess - or maybe they just do it themselves lol

[@dodobird97]

There's only two films in Criterion. But it should have been more.

[@jmdi2703]

@@dodobird97 Yes. 2 not so much good film actually. :) Even turkish people not like those 2 films. :)

[@boltzmannbrayn]

One reason for why few Turkish films get released has to be that the film elements of a lot of older Turkish cinema are in poor condition, the materials have not been well taken care of. Same thing with many classic Bollywood films.

[@jmdi2703]

@@boltzmannbrayn Yes, that's why they need to be restored. By the way some old crappy Bollywood and Hong Kong movies are introduced as "masterpieces" in Western cinema books and anthologies today. But most of the great old Turkish movies are never introduced. This must be a joke!

[@monggreltemple]

I was waiting for one to get Salo, lol! the most disgusting movie ever. Finally!

[@simian01]

Bill Hader picked it also (and joked about it being the perfect date movie).

[@George_Nakhle]

Why are there so many bigots in the comments lately?

[@h0lly_blue]

because they think repeating the same joke over and over again qualifies as a personality trait

Dunno about Salo being life changing. Bought it off eBay due to notoriety. Watched it, thought it was pants and it went straight back on eBay. Only thing it changed in my life was a waste of 90 minutes

[@h0lly_blue]

everything hits differently for somebody

[@internetgod404]

I felt that same way watching it with my homie- always wondered why they raved about it so much & after talking about social and political implications and Pasolini … I get it. Will I watch it again? Not for a while. Did i enjoy it? Not really. Is that okay? Yeah. I realize I’m not gonna like or understand or appreciate everything. Some shit I think is trash that other people love and that’s alright I have to be okay with that. Where was I going with this? I don’t know.

[@DJFV694]

The criterion collection should have people who love movies pick their favorite movies. Give actors and director videos a break for a while.
