My Criterion Blu-ray Collection 2019 (Pt.2)

[@Rumanasmovieblog]

Great collection all of them. I can't believe how many Movies you have. You have seen most of them that's more impressive. Nice room you have. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this movie 😊👍

[@MovieChatter01]

I hear you!! Sometimes I look around and wonder where they all came from. 😂😂😂 Then I remember that I've been collecting movies since I can remember. I try to watch most right as they come in because otherwise, why own them?? Thank you so much for watching, I always appreciate it. 😀✌️✌️

[@foggypebble5159]

5:51 Watership Down is a work of art and is so under appreciated in the collection; great to see that you chose it

[@MovieChatter01]

It really is. I'm very happy to have it in my collection. Thank you so much for watching. 😀👋👍👍

[@maplestreetmovies]

Amazing collection, serious goals right there! I love what you said about Breakfast Club, it's a great observation made. How mainstream movies in the Criterion Collection are a good thing. I was a little surprised to see the recent release of The Princess Bride, but it's just like you said, if nothing else it can introduce movie lovers to the collection and then from there they can immerse themselves in countless classics.

[@MovieChatter01]

Absolutely. People were up in arms about Bull Durham, and I really didn't unstandard the elitist attitude. I really do believe anything that gets folks interested in the collection is a bonus. They can chip away at the titles and eventually, they'll find the black hole the rest of us have fallen through. 😂😂😂 I think introducing mainstream titles can just show what it means for films to get the Criterion treatment and why it's such a big deal. Thanks for watching!! 😀👋✌️

[@gavinthecollector2419]

I'm floored by this collection. Criterions are not cheap otherwise I'd have more. Thanks for showing all the covers as well.

[@MovieChatter01]

Gavin The Collector ah, well I've been collecting for a long time and July is my birthday month. It's also one of the 50% off Barnes & Noble Criterion sales so I get plenty of gift cards to help offset the expense. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for watching. 😀👍👍

[@martinpitts3861]

I bought my first Criterion DVD in 1999 (the first DVD edition of "The Red Shoes"). I haven't collected a lot of them recently, not really having the money for them, but I do have a lot of early DVD's with "The Criterion Collection" spelled out on top of the cover and on the spine. Don't have a lot of the "C" stuff yet and only two blu-rays. I definitely recommend any Powell-Pressburger films, of which there are several on Criterion. I see you have a few already. I find their films deeply profound and moving and Powell is an incredible visual stylist.

[@ziggyfrancis6973]

Wow your videos are fantastic, been wanting to watch the devils backbone for a while so now after watching this I'm definitely going g to watch this. Loving the videos so far (new subscriber) keep them up -from Australia

[@MovieChatter01]

Hi and welcome to the channel. Thank you so much for the very kind words and I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos. I love the Criterion Collection and all it has to offer. I cover all genres so if there's anything you're ever interested in, please let me know in the comments. Again welcome and thanks for watching. 😀

[@martinez112820]

Had to watch part 2!! Glad you got some like it hot, I'm glad classic movies like the breakfast club are in the criterion collection so more people know about these amazing films, here's my recommendations- Le Samourai El Sur Y tu mama tambien The ice storm* don't remember if you showed this one lol.

[@MovieChatter01]

Lupita thanks so much for watching the collection videos. I'm with you- anything that gets more people interested in the collection works for me. I think the more they find out how many wonderful films are available, they'll be more open to expanding their viewing. I worry that so many miss out because they're reluctant to watch subtitles but I keep telling them that it's no big deal once you do it a few times. Thank you so much for the suggestions- I've definitely added them to the July list. Yes, I do have Ice Storm but not the others. Hope all is well with you. 😀👍👍

[@martinez112820]

@@MovieChatter01 I'm so used to subtitles, I can't understand wothout them! English or spanish movies i need subtitles.😂

Hi, Steph: Lots of my favorites in this collection, but SO many I've been wanting to watch again for years and just can't find them: Valley of the Dolls and Mildred Pierce being too of them. There are also several you spoke about before that I keep looking for. The great thing about watching your channel (one of the great things) is that so many of the titles stick in my head, so if I see the on Prime or Netflix, I know to watch. Still looking for I, Daniel Blake. I guess one of these days I'll see it. I do see that Some Like It Hot as well as His Girl Friday are both on Prime, so I'll catch then both soon. I saw the first one for sure, but SO many years ago. I remember nothing, The Graduate is one of my all-time fave films. Can't even count how many times I've seen it. I love the scene when he is first in the hotel room with Mrs. Robinson and goes to hang up her coat. He's standing by the closet and says, "Wood or wire … they have both." In the late 90s, I was on a train from France to Italy, and Mel Brooks & Anne Bancroft were in the same car. Later, being alone with them in the club car, the inner me looked at her and said that line. The outer me behaved normally. :) Asphalt Jungle is another film I really want to see, and I'm so embarrassed to admit I never saw Rosemary's Baby. I really love Blue Is The Warmest Color. I have a screener copy here and I'll have to watch again or if it's still on Netflix. Funny, it didn't seem as long as it is. I just really liked it. Well, that's enough rambling for one comment, you think? :) Hope you reach 2K soon! You're the BEST!

[@MovieChatter01]

NipoteZia 😂😂😂I always enjoy your rambling because you're one of my few friends that I can actually talk movies with. Big yes to Blue Is The Warmest Color. So moving and definitely didn't feel like the run time, even with all the reading. I really think you'd like Weekend. It's another that pulls at the heart strings. I wish these came with digital for people who stream but I guess they don't have that capability. Plus, they have their own streaming channel now so I guess that would kill their platform. I also enjoy The Graduate- so many quotable lines. Honestly, the last time I watched Rosemary's Baby, I felt like it lost a step for me. Mia Farrow is amazing in it but the story just didn't pull me in like it had in the past. Who knows. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you so much for being here from the start. You have no idea how much I truly appreciate you. You're the best. 😀❤️❤️👍👍

[@RiderRated18]

Again nicely done Stephanie 👍 So many movies that I still need to discover, it’s also a little harder to get Criterion’s here in the UK as not all of them have been released. Loads are available for sure but I think the demand for them here in the UK is not as high as it is in the states.

[@MovieChatter01]

X24RIDER thanks, Ben. I recently went region-free for my living room player because I wanted the Masters of Cinema titles. You can probably find quite a few similar titles in that line. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you get to find everything you're looking for. 😀👍👍

[@genealogyMAD]

Great Channel..... 2 Criterion's I recommend would be Picnic at Hanging Rock and Babette's Feast - I am very much enjoying these collection videos you've presented :)

[@MovieChatter01]

GenealogyMAD thank you and thanks for the recommendations. I'll be putting them on the list to check out for the July sale. I'm glad you're enjoying the collection series and thank you so much for watching 😀👍👍

[@davefsmith6040]

LOVE Persona.. for exactly the reason you mentioned..... it's SO OPEN to interpretation.... Much like 3 Woman..... it means a lot of things... Great movie in my opinion ...Another great video -- Great Collection !!

[@MovieChatter01]

dave f smith thank you and thanks so much for watching. I appreciate the feedback on Persona- I was beginning to think I was losing it. 😂😂😂 Actually, I either read in the booklet or watched an interview where it was revealed Bergman did a lot of work on the project while on morphine. That is something they've accredited to the end product being so abstract and open for individual interpretation. Have you heard or read that?? Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I always enjoy you. 😀👍👍

[@MusicIsARainbow]

Your channel is doing great! Woo hoo!!!! So happy for you. How many movies do you own? Also, have you ever seen Maiden Heist? I was just telling a friend about it and how I laughed until I cried during one scene. Actually, probably a couple scenes! Oh, and I love Harold and Maude! So twisted! You have tons of movies I haven't seen.

[@MovieChatter01]

Music Is A Rainbow well hello there, my friend. Thanks for checking out the collection video. Yes, the channel is doing the slow, steady KZbin crawl- you know. 😂😂 How many movies... Hmm, I'd say between 2500 and 3000 as of this video. I have seen Maiden Heist- super funny and very underrated. It definitely deserved a theatrical release. The films I showed in this particular collection tend to be a lot of foreign language and older films that impacted modern cinema in some way. Lisette tells me when I do these, she writes a list so she remembers what to look for. 😂😂😂 Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the video. Did you like my creative product placement??? I need a sponsor!! 😂😂😀👋👋✌️

[@griffredux9966]

Great collection, Stephanie! July seems so far away for the next sale, but it's a good thing most of us have a stack of films to watch in the meantime :)

[@MovieChatter01]

+Griff Redux isn't that the truth!! We stock up and keep busy in between sales. 😂😂😂 Thanks so much for watching and happy viewing!! 👍👍😀

[@Z3koTrinity]

Just finished both videos wonderful collection I would love to just watch a bunch of them I only seen about 4 movies out of both your videos lmao

[@tfpp1]

A few titles I'm positive you would enjoy that are conspicuous by their absence, are: Punch Drunk Love, Brazil, Orpheus (supposedly inspired The Matrix and Inception), Rififi, and the box set of Three Fantastic Journeys.

[@NoTalentGuy]

I like your chats! Huge thumbs up!!

[@MovieChatter01]

No_Talent_Guy ah, thank you. Another chat coming either later today or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to talking movies again and not just showing piles of stuff. 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching. 👋👋✌️

[@maplestreetmovies]

And True Stories is such a wacky movie! Got that one for Christmas this past year and really enjoyed it. Good movie, just weird haha!

[@MovieChatter01]

Totally agree. 😂😂😂 I like wacky and that definitely fits the bill. Thanks for watching. ✌️👍

[@lapastaju]

Love the way you talk about them.

[@MovieChatter01]

Egídio La Pasta Junior thanks! And I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching. 😄👍

[@NoirFan84]

Glad to hear you say you'll do a review of Don't Look Now since it's possibly my all-time favourite movie. I say "possibly" because I just can't choose between that & Blade Runner. You should check out some more of Nic Roeg's work. I think I heard you say you'd seen Walkabout before but if you've not seen Bad Timing starring Art Garfunkel then I'd highly recommend it.

[@MovieChatter01]

Carl Rees oh fantastic. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on my review. 😀 I've written down your suggested titles and I'll definitely look into them. I have a good list started for the July sale. Thanks so much for watching and the suggestions. Have a great night. 😀👍👍

[@NoirFan84]

@@MovieChatter01 You have a good night too & I hope to hear you say you enjoyed my recommendations on a future upload. 😊👍 Your collection is awesome btw. You should pick up Blow Up on Criterion too, no film better encapsulates the feel of London in the swinging 60's quite like Antonioni's masterpiece. Oh, & Rififi too, if you like heist films then there's none better. I could make recommendations all night but I'll shut up now. 😂😂 Enjoy.

[@noahlasher9724]

My personal theory behind Persona is that the entire movie is inside Anna’s head (including the avant garde opening) as a way of coping with her turmoil. But I’d like to know your thoughts on the movie and how you interpreted it.

[@MovieChatter01]

Interesting and thoughtful premise. I need to give it another watch because it's been some time since I watched it. I might do a discussion video on it at some point because it's one that seems to spark really great discussions. 😁

[@mrflipperinvader7922]

11:40 after watching the breakfast club it makes alot of sense that its in the collection, its a talking head coming of age story taking entirely in one location, cinephiles eat that stuff up

[@MovieChatter01]

Yep. Totally agree. 👍

[@carlhobday2266]

Would love to hear what you thought of my recommendations in the next vid (if you’ve watched them). It was The Battery and Baskin. Keep up the great content.

[@MovieChatter01]

Carl Hobday I've already recorded the next two videos but I'll definitely talk about the movies you suggested in my next horror video. That will most likely be after these two. I did watch both movies. 😀 Thanks so much for the recommendations and have a great day. 👋👋✌️👍

[@RickyDaKitsune]

I'm new to the criterion collection I've been getting them since September of 2018. I know what day the sale went on in November but what day does the sale start in July. Great collection by the way

[@daddymarx9445]

The Fox Artist it was june 29th last year I believe

[@MovieChatter01]

The Fox Artist hello and sorry for the late response. The sale is on now through 8/4... It just started Friday so you have plenty of time. Thanks for watching and happy shopping. 😄👍👍

[@davidbrown1878]

Great video!

[@davidbrown1878]

My favorite film ever is The Godfather (1972) and my favorite film in the Criterion Collection is Seven Samurai (1954).

[@jeffreykaufmann4625]

How many DVDs and Blurays do you own?

[@DungeonStudio]

Just watched Badlands again this afternoon. Truly a awesome film way ahead of it's time! The Big Chill I got, and watched some twenty years later - and was let down. It seemed awfully dated and irrelevant to me now. Sold it shortly after. Shampoo as well, and am a big Hal Ashby fan at that. Just seemed lost and empty to me now. Now True Stories on the other hand I didn't get when it first came out, and I'm a big Talking Heads fan. Had the DVD for a bit, and was surprised when Criterion released it. So getting that version, I don't know what happened, but I finally GOT IT! David Byrne was WAY ahead of his time, and the movie suddenly made sense! It's quirky still, but fits our time now perfectly IMHO. Looking forward to see what you think of it Stef! :-)

[@MovieChatter01]

DungeonStudio I hear you with the movies that seemed so great way back when. There are some titles that I bump up from DVD to Blu-ray because I loved them but when I revisit them, they just don't hold up. Then there's movies like Halloween and Jaws from the 70's that never lose that wow factor. One in the Criterion that I loved growing up was the original The Blob and when I watched it again, I thought, meh. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ But I kept it for now. I guess for the nostalgia. I'll definitely do a mini review after checking out True Stories. Thanks so much for watching and I always enjoy your comments. 😀👍

[@xDestroyerPvP]

my favorite film Rosemary's Baby

[@MovieChatter01]

xDestroyer nice! It's a good one. Mia Farrow is fantastic in that one. Thanks so much for watching. 😀👍👍

[@jdavidUN1TED]

I recommend the police story and police story 2 films, really under appreciated

[@MovieChatter01]

J. David the Jackie Chan ones? They're either being released or just were. I'm a huge fan of Jackie Chan so I'll definitely look into those. Thanks so much for watching and the suggestions. 😀👍👍

[@jdavidUN1TED]

Movie Chatter they’ve been out for 2 weeks now. I Don’t regret buying those from a jackie chan fan😀

[@MovieChatter01]

J. David oh, great to know. I knew they were either out or coming soon. I'll definitely have them on my list for the July pickups. Thank you so much for the helpful information.

[@CarloNassar]

Fantastic Planet! Awesome!!!!

[@MovieChatter01]

Carlo Nassar yes!! That's a newer pickup for me. I think I was always put off by the cover until one of my trusted movie friends said it was a must see. Excellent suggestion. Thanks so much for watching 😀👍👍

[@CarloNassar]

@@MovieChatter01 Maybe they should collaborate with another company for an uncut dub to do Gandahar, a film by the same director that did Fantastic Planet. It only got a DVD release in the UK and it's available on KZbin (uncut) but only in 480p.

[@MovieChatter01]

Carlo Nassar ugh. That stinks. Yeah, I agree that something should be done about that. I don't know how all that ends up happening or why there's no Blu-ray release for the UK. I ended up picking up a Region-free player for my living room because of all the Region B titles I wanted to see. I can tell you it's paid for itself over and over already. It was only about $149USD on Amazon and plays everything I throw at it.

[@Z3koTrinity]

My god funny games pissed me off so bad when I seen it lmao

[@tubewatcher155]

I purchased criterion's Guillermo del Toro Trilogy and the only one out of the three of them that I haven't seen yet is Chronos.

[@MovieChatter01]

James Boner I don't know why I didn't just get the trilogy. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyway, what did you think of the others you watched? I think Cronos is the one I least enjoyed but it was still very good. Thanks so much for watching. 😀👍👍

[@tubewatcher155]

Movie Chatter Pan’s Labrynth was by far my favorite. But I still very much enjoyed The Devil’s Backbone.

[@MovieChatter01]

James Boner they're both excellent choices and what I really enjoy is that I like them both for different reasons, which is not something I often feel.
