Author Comments: 

This started out as a Criterion-Holiday-Set list, but then I figured that I've been tilting at this windmill for over two years now so I might as well keep it updated.

Italicized titles are out of print. Bold titles are discs I own. Note the overlap. Coincidence?

What I've Seen Of... The Criterion Collection Holiday 2004 Gift Set
stooky01/11/2005

You're mowing them down Cosgrove, any personal faves as of yet and more importantly, any I should avoid. Like Ali: Fear Eats The Soul for example.

:?)

Cosgrove01/12/2005

Actually, I liked "Ali". The worst film I've seen that they've done a disc of (besides "Armageddon", of course) is probably "Carnival of Souls". I just don't get the acclaim -- it's boring and not creepy in the slightest. "Fat Girl" and "The Honeymoon Killers" also fall into the 'avoid' camp.

A personal favorite is quite a bit easier -- that would definitely be "Videodrome", one of my favoritest films ever. I also highly recommend "Umberto D", "Yojimbo" and any of the Clouzot films. But honestly, if they're putting their stamp on it it's probably worth a look.

Conall09/16/2005

Do you have to actually see the Criterion DVD to count it, or just see the film in any way?

Cosgrove09/16/2005

Just see the film -- if I actually tried to see every DVD in the collection, there'd be some titles that'd never get scratched off ("This is Spinal Tap" or "Salo", f'rinstance).

Cosgrove03/24/2006

This just in: Holy crap, Criterion's doing a disc of the no-budget '70s demon flick "Equinox"! WTF, mate?

jfrazier5710/14/2007

When I was going through my own version of this list, I saw Armageddon and assumed that it was some old foreign film about the sadness of an old man. Then I looked it up and saw that it was the Michael Bay POS that I had in fact seen nearly ten years ago in theaters.

You've made really good progress. I've only got 25 or so seen! I've bumpbed Overlord to the top of my Netflix queue, though.

Cosgrove10/16/2007

Some day, I will have slain this dragon... my resolve is now set, dammit. At least I don't have any more Michael Bay to slog through. (Is that a Transformers disc on the horizon? Oh, no -- no it isn't! Hooray!) Of course, given their track record together, I'm going to have to see The Darjeeling Limited at some point. Which I'd rather not.

Overlord is definitely worth a look. Pretty harrowing stuff.

jfrazier5710/31/2007

I've got bad news: your foreboding on The Darjeeling Limited is correct. It BLOWS.

Cosgrove11/01/2007

Yeah, I've heard that a lot. Crap. Maybe Criterion will give this one a miss. We can only hope.

Critico10/16/2007

Sweet movie is it worth watching? i have it on my amazon wish list but i'm not sure.

Cosgrove10/18/2007

Yes. Yes it is. It's, um, interesting, to say the least. Horribly vulgar and sick stuff, yet fascinating.
