If your town has a Borders, skip Best Buy's crappy selection and go there.  Now THAT is a candy store.  Barring that, go with Seven Samurai or Scenes from a Marriage.

Guess which Criterion is the only one I own, guess.

Seven Samurai definetely, its one of those dvds you have to have in your collection to show you really are a movie fan, along with both seven dvds, the flipper and the black case one.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

What if you sold your Seven flipper?  Am I not a real movie fan?   :oops:

I have both versions of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.   :-D

Neon, I read your post too late as I decided to end my anticipation.

(Does anyone else get as exceedingly happy to unravel the Criterion?)

So, I decided not to go to Best Buy.  Because, as I stated, the selection was ass.

I went to Suncoast instead (because the selection is...worse, yeah I know, but they're different).  So at Suncoast they had...

Last Temptation
Seven Samurai
Knife in the Water

and of course, the DVD I've wanted ever since I knew what Criterion was.  I had always admired it, and it seemed unattainable due to it's $39.99 price tag, but ladies and gentlemen, I am now the proud owner of

8 1/2.

And I have to say, it feels great.

I started watching it with my mom (who had the weirdest look on her face when he was like "Be more...more...slutty.")  I had to watch it, and she was in the room.  Oh, this movie blows my mind.

So, Neon.  My next film will definitely be LTOC.  Thank you for your suggestions and evaluations.
