The criterion haul has become my favorite tv show 🤓👌🔥 Litness reigns 👌🔥

[@MADDROBBO666]

When Perry gives his synopsis of The Game as the classical music intensified is everything

[@jnagarya519]

"Monterey Pop": Jimi Hendrix arrived as a rumor, left as a legend.

[@cellphonekid2]

Great dynamic between all four of you... and HIGHLY recommend Sansho the Bailiff; an absolute masterpiece.

[@SpyKiFTW]

Get Blue Velvet!!! I'd give it a soft 10 lol every time you guys do these I'm so jealous we don't have the whole collection in the UK. I'd love to do a huge criterion haul. Also Lady Snowblood is amazing.

[@net31rec]

Not sure if the name is correct, but Perry(?) comes off as the most likable person i've ever seen on youtube.

[@MichaelGarcia-fl7rz]

Criterion god’s back at it again.

[@1977Suspiria]

Wait, none of you have seen Sansho The Bailiff? That's criminal. 5th on my all-time favourites list, first on my favourite Asian films list. Incredible life-affirming masterpiece.

Mizoguchi was one of cinema’s greatest masters.

[@cellphonekid2]

Love these vids!! Now time to save up for the October/November sale!

[@tylerblair318]

The minute Perry picked up that fucking criterion I knew he was gonna say that shit from the Nicholas Winding Refn closet picks. Also, worth noting but the editing in your videos has gotten way better in the last month. It wasn't bad or anything before, but it's much more concise and feels like the commentary is more clean and to the point without rushing or speeding through which makes me want more of your content instead of just being okay when the video ends. You shoulda gotten Che and the Marlon Riggs one that just released btw.

[@jnagarya519]

"Che" and "Carlos" are both musts. Good and long, and I watched each in one sitting. Another along similar lines that is terrific is "State of Siege". Also based on a true story.

[@ethanedwards7557]

Carlos is great, Che should have been much better than it is.

[@anillegibletombstone]

To the shopper that put it back; buy Wanda next sale. Also, I'd say Short Cuts is better than The Player so I'd pick it up. You're a fan of Altman so you were probably going to already👍

@@jnagarya519 true. But the term spaghetti western is already famous for the world of cinema. So when I call it a literal spaghetti western, it catches a lot more people’s attention that way.

[@UToobin75]

I'd like to cue readers in on a little known art film entitled BREACH (2020), featuring Bruce Willis in his most riveting performance to date. Compelling storytelling, an wholly original, award worthy script, and special effects which rival Jurassic Park. A Criterion release is surely impending!

[@ethanedwards7557]

I keep seeing They Live By Night while you’re going through them. Great Nicholas Ray film as is Bigger Than Life which looks beautiful on bluray.

[@charlottesometimes5491]

"Paths of Glory" is a MUST.

[@jnagarya519]

Also consider the political context of the time: McCarthyism. Kirk Douglas had what are technically known as "testicles" -- research the background of the film "Spartacus" (not a favorite) and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo: it broke the "Hollowood Blacklist".

[@Dou6leRain6owz]

The 3 films in the Bunuel boxset are only in that boxset and not sold seperately by Criterion. Also those are 3 of his best. Would 100% recommend it.

[@cellphonekid2]

Just bought the boxset this week! I recently rewatched Discreet Charm for the first time in years. Hated it the first time I saw it, loved it this time. Also love Phantom of Liberty. Obscure Object of Love I liked but didn’t love. But still a ridiculously impressive three film stretch. Has a director ever ended an already impressive career on such a high note??

[@shawnsatrinarodriguez4429]

I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but Erick found the criterion blu ray for All About Eve off some employee's cart after we stopped filming. I bought it of course.

[@hansvongruber3214]

I wish I could pick up more Criterions yet my wallet is in critical condition with the amount of money I've spent for this month's haul.

[@bobbyb8005]

If you guys liked Naked I reckon you would like Nil by Mouth. It’s a bleak british drama with some very powerful performances, especially from Ray Winestone and Kathy Burke. It’s written and directed by Gary Oldman. I’ve heard BFI are working on a blu ray release for it, still only available on dvd and probably hard to find in the US. It’s a shame I’ve literally never heard anyone mention it before except for one video by cinema cartography called The Aesthetic of Evil. It has a great soundtrack too that really stands out to me. It’s the most realistic film I’ve ever seen hands down. I love these bleak british dramas, This is England is another good one too, where the series is as good if not better

[@jesusperez7108]

Nil by Mouth sounds really interesting. I'm going to add it to my watchlist.

[@bobbyb8005]

@@jesusperez7108 Nice I hope you can find it without too much trouble. What makes it all the more shocking is that Kathy Burke was only really know for her comedic role on Harry Enfield’s show, best known as Perry from Kevin and Perry. This role shows a completely different side that proves how good she is. She won best actress at Cannes for the role. Gary Oldman’s sister is also one of the characters. Apparently he only did The Fifth Element so that Luc Besson would help produce this film. It’s probably the most hard hitting film I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few. I don’t think many Americans know about this movie, there’s barley any reviews on it. Thanks for giving it a chance dude!

Jackie Chan was inspired by Harold Lloyd.

[@iamwoteveriwanttobe]

I think he said he "wanted to be like a Chaplin or Buster Keaton." Regarding Keaton he said "I think he's the best." However he does acknowledge drawing inspiration from a number of silent comedians including Lloyd.

La Haine the French don’t sound their H’s immediately after a vowel so La Haine would be said La Ayne. Ai is sounded like Ay and the n is slightly elongated.

[@bbattersby2345]

My thoughts I had while watching this again: Love the Paths of Glory pick, my favourite Kubrick film Tampopo is really damn funny, I would recommend that also I have had Wages of Fear in my watchlist for so long, it sounds excellent Yeah I have to agree with Jen I'm not really a fan of First Reformed either I also wasn't a fan of Rashomon either tbh, I had to watch it for University and I didn't really like it But Rebecca is an amazing film, one of my favourite Hitchcock's Don't want to continue being a hater haha, but I fucking hated Rushmore, I like other Wes Anderson films and it's one of my best friends favourite movies but yeah, just did not do it for me Police Story is awesome, Jackie Chan is great, I have not seen the second one either, but I liked his 'Armour of God' movies which is basically like his Indiana Jones and they are really fun I love most of the Buñuel films I've seen, wasn't big on Discreet Charm, I found it a little repetitive and drawn out but I am interested in seeing it again, I actually watched That Obscure Object of Desire the other day and I loved that, Belle De Jour and Los Olvidados are great too, Olvidados is like a Spanish 400 Blows and its better imo Great picks once again kings

[@erikhughes8412]

In cataloguing, "btw", the indefinite articles "A" and "An" and the definite article "The" don't count - otherwise the "T" section would dwarf the rest of the collection. "The Vanishing" belongs in the "Vs". You found it there because some idiot (most likely NOT a B&N employee, but likely someone else on an "unforgettable kino adventure") put it there. You're the one who claimed you leave everything "put back and organized properly" when clearly you do not. Just making a point, dude...

[@erikhughes8412]

8 minutes in, and you put "The Vanishing" in front of "Two-Lane Blacktop" - and since these are such "unforgettable" experiences, you forgot Perry bought "The Vanishing" in the video you posted 10 days before this one. So, "put back and organized properly" and "unforgettable kino adventure" my a$$...;+) But seriously, Carlos, the "Brazil" special feature that's the best is the "Love Conquers All" version of the film, which is the one Warner Brother's was demanding when Gilliam took his cut and showed it to the L.A. Film Critics Association,, who awarded it best picture, best director and best screenplay. The "Love Conquers All" version completely changes the whole message and intent of the film and shows how Hollywood commerce can often ruin true film art. Strange that you didn't "connect" with "The Parallax View", but you were looking for "12 Angry Men" that, while a classic play, has been done to death by community theaters since the early 60s, and though well-acted, is really just a film version of the play.
