what criterion should i buy

Tommy Both · February 21, 2003, 06:47:49 PM

Ok, so I got cash.... or I mean plastic, wtvr.... it's money alright. Now I wanna get that Criterion Collection - been saving up some dough, and intend on purchasing some DVD's this weekend. So, what Criterions u guys all advise me (or anytone else) to get/order tomorrow, 'cause the first Criterions I got were just those usual suspects - the contemporary musts like Traffic or Rushmore and Royal Tenenbaums. Since 2k3, I've put my mind to starting to collect that mindblowing Collection of more than 100 precious jewels and own all of them - (all of them? ALL of them.) at one time. I started by getting 'otto e mezzo' and 'bob le flambeur' last month, but haven't been able to see both yet - due to school and stuff...blablabla, me is just waiting for my next vacation break that started today , wooopey- so which ones should I buy next?
I was thinking about Down By Law, it blew me away when I rented it last month , bought that fine ass poster today btw. . - or buying Fear and Loathing Las Vegas , 'cause that came out last week and is just a movie I totally digged when I saw it on tape.
So boys and girls here that represent the Criterions supporters, what's a Must and what's NOT? So I won't be buying the few crappy ones they got -can't even imagine that man, I mean, Criterion IS The Best.. right?

Thanks for the recommendations , guess I'll continue with 'Fear and Loathing' and 'Brazil' , Gilliam is the bomb indeed.

i believe macguffin's post has disproved the use of 'digged'.

seriously...how flippin' excited is everyone about The Criterion "by Brakhage" release? I almost bought dog star man on video by itself the other day for $25. Now how about that and 35 others for $30 (on amazon) on dvd! Shit, dawg. I get all shaky thinking about it.
