The Importance of Being Earnest - The Criterion Collection

First to recommend

Description

The 1952 film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's wildly hilarious comic jewel. It tells the story of two women who both think they're engaged to the same nonexistent man. The true treat is the fantastic Technicolor and the quality presented in the Criterion Collection.

It also features rare production stills and the theatrical trailers.

All That Heaven Allows - The Criterion Collection

First to recommend

Description

If you're at all interested in melodrama, then you will this 1955 classic. Me personally, I'm not. However, I fundamentally believe that everyone should see this film because of it's undeniable impact.

The Criterion Collection has too many features to lists, including original theatrical trailers, enhanced widescreen, vintage lobby cards and much more.

Good news The Criterion Collection doesn't just do films. Basically what we've got here is the Ultimate Beastie Boys collection and it features everything from Acapella versions to commentary to adjustable angles, etc.

Rushmore: Wes Anderson (The Criterion Collection)

First to recommend

Description

If you haven't seen this film, stop what you're doing immediately, find the closest Best Buy, purchase it, watch it and have your life transformed. I may sound over dramatic, but I really love this movie and I think you will too. The Criterion Collection features beaucoups of extras. So, get excited.

The Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Collection

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The ensemble cast in Wes Anderson's third film is beyond spectacular. It's truly amazing how such a wide range of actors can come together and be equally quirky and believable. Everyone should see this at least once. As it is part of The Criterion Collection, it's got lots of extras.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (The Criterion Collection)

First to recommend

Description

The 4th film by Wes Anderson. I'll be honest, it's certainly not my favorite. However, it might be the most interesting/ ridiculous. Certainly worth checking out and definitely worth owning the criterion collection if you're an Anderson fan.

Dazed and Confused - The Criterion Collection

First to recommend

Description

Alright, alright, alright. It's Dazed and Confused and it's easily one of the funnier films of the 90s. Immediately after its release, it was an instant cult favorite and leaves me (and others alike) religiously quoting the film.

This Criterion release has a ridiculous amount of extras, including a 50-minute documentary about the making of the film, commentary, trailers, deleted scenes and lots more.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Criterion Collection

First to recommend

Description

It's not just Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it's the Criterion Collection version, which seems particularly relevant for a film like this.

Three commentary options (including Johnny Depp or HST), deleted scenes, story boards, an exploration into the controversies of and much, much more.

It's a must have for all Hunter S. Thompson fans.
