···
CloseThe Rules of the Game
Jean Renoir
WC-CR-85: “This is one of those classic films you NEED to see more than once. It's complex in style and structure but it's entertaining and fun at the same time.”

···
ClosePépé le moko
Julien Duvivier
WC-CR-85: “Another in a line of films that influenced others. Come to the Casbah with this one, it's worth the trip!”

···
CloseTokyo Drifter
Seijun Suzuki
WC-CR-85: “This was one of the very first Criterion titles I had seen. Now having it on Blu-Ray, I can see the full eye-catching effect of Suzuki's visuals.”
Blu-Ray Spine #39 Learn more » -
···
CloseSimon of the Desert
Luis Buñuel
WC-CR-85: “Despite a running time of 45 minutes, the surrealism of Bunuel is in full force here. Also the doc on his Mexican works on the DVD is great too.”
DVD Spine #460 Learn more » -
···
CloseVampyr
Carl Th. Dreyer
WC-CR-85: “This may not be your typical horror film, but Dreyer's use of the camera and sound as well as his use of locations makes this a very special movie.”
DVD Spine #437 Learn more » -
···
CloseDays of Heaven
Terrence Malick
WC-CR-85: “The beauty of the landscapes are more prominent than the people in this one. But you gotta love that narration, it has character all its own!”
Blu-Ray Spine #409 Learn more » -
···
CloseLe cercle rouge
Jean-Pierre Melville
WC-CR-85: “Melville's follow up to "Le Samourai" is another example of cinematic cool. This time the lone wolf has some assistance!”
Blu-Ray Spine #218 Learn more » -
···
ClosePatriotism
Yukio Mishima and Domoto Masaki
WC-CR-85: “A short film can just be as incredible as a feature. This one is as startling and disturbing as all depictions of death is.”
DVD Spine #433 Learn more » -
···
CloseBlast of Silence
Allen Baron
WC-CR-85: “This late period noir is pretty much a valentine to New York. It's stands out more prominently than poor Frankie Bono.”
DVD Spine #428 Learn more » -
···
CloseOverlord
Stuart Cooper
WC-CR-85: “Not so much a look at D-Day but rather a quietly moving story of a small solder in a big war machine.”
DVD Spine #382 Learn more » -
···
CloseThe Spirit of the Beehive
Víctor Erice
WC-CR-85: “This is a masterful piece of filmmaking from Spain in the 1970's. It's a loving tribute to horror films and the minds of kids such as Ana.”
DVD Spine #351 Learn more » -
···
CloseFists in the Pocket
Marco Bellocchio
WC-CR-85: “A brilliant film that changed the perception of filmmaking in Italy. And Lou Castel was never better than in his acting debut here.”
DVD Spine #333 Learn more » -
···
Close8½
Federico Fellini
WC-CR-85: “This is one of the best films ever made on making films. And I'm sure people can relate to a crisis like the one that Mastroianni had in the film.”
Blu-Ray Spine #140 Learn more » -
···
ClosePickpocket
Robert Bresson
WC-CR-85: “A film by Bresson can be difficult and probably anti-cinematic. But with this film, it proves that the mastery of his art was truly original.”
DVD Spine #314 Learn more » -
···
CloseLe Samouraï
Jean-Pierre Melville
WC-CR-85: “All kinds of cool is on great display in this Melville thriller, especially the nods to film noir and the samurai mystique. Hail to the lone wolf!”
DVD Spine #306 Learn more » -
···
CloseBad Timing
Nicolas Roeg
WC-CR-85: “Nic Roeg could blend photography, editing, and music as no one else could. As for this story of love gone horribly wrong, the title is accurate!”
DVD Spine #303 Learn more » -
···
CloseAshes and Diamonds
Andrzej Wajda
WC-CR-85: “This Polish film is a look at an individual who knows change is coming but it turns out to be a change from one power to another. Ironic, isn't it?”
DVD Spine #285 Learn more » -
···
CloseEyes Without a Face
Georges Franju
WC-CR-85: “A beautiful and haunting horror film from France. Also the extra film, "Blood of the Beasts" is good, but it's probably more horrifying than "Eyes".”
DVD Spine #260 Learn more » -
···
CloseThe Testament of Dr. Mabuse
Fritz Lang
WC-CR-85: “The last gasp of Weimar cinema, this is a fine thriller with all the ingredients needed. The car chase is fun because it was ahead of its time.”
DVD Spine #231 Learn more » -
···
CloseSalvatore Giuliano
Francesco Rosi
WC-CR-85: “An Italian gangster film set where the Godfather's ancestors lived. Also a true story, not the stuff of Hollywood.”
DVD Spine #228 Learn more » -
···
CloseOnibaba
Kaneto Shindo
WC-CR-85: “One of the forerunners of a sub-genre called "J-Horror", this film shows how things such as war can cause such macabre things to happen.”
DVD Spine #226 Learn more » -
···
CloseKnife in the Water
Roman Polanski
WC-CR-85: “A masterwork of Polish cinema, this film was a rarity because it's was about Poles at play with a bit of thriller thrown in. No Social Realism here!”
DVD Spine #215 Learn more » -
···
ClosePlaytime
Jacques Tati
WC-CR-85: “A huge, epic 70mm film on technology gone awry. It's also pretty funny, too.”
Blu-Ray Spine #112 Learn more » -
···
CloseNight and Fog
Alain Resnais
WC-CR-85: “The Holocaust is a difficult subject to film. But this one, with it's brief running time, makes you learn a lot and never to forget.”
DVD Spine #197 Learn more » -
···
CloseHiroshima mon amour
Alain Resnais
WC-CR-85: “With Resnais camera and editing techniques and a look at Japan after WWII from an outsider, this is one of the best films from the French New Wave.”
DVD Spine #196 Learn more » -
···
CloseBy Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One
Stan Brakhage
WC-CR-85: “Brakhage was an incredible visual artist, but I wish there was a score for "Dog Star Man".”
DVD Spine #184 Learn more » -
···
CloseBeauty and the Beast
Jean Cocteau
WC-CR-85: “This version by Cocteau is way cooler than Disney's.”
DVD Spine #6 Learn more » -
···
CloseStraw Dogs
Sam Peckinpah
WC-CR-85: “I have seen almost all of Sam Peckinpah's films, but this one is his best. It's a great example of how far the human soul can take before it cracks.”
DVD Spine #182 Learn more » -
···
CloseYojimbo/Sanjuro Box Set
Akira Kurosawa
WC-CR-85: “Two great samurai films, and a change of pace for Kurosawa and the samurai genre.”

···
CloseSeven Samurai
Akira Kurosawa
WC-CR-85: “This is one film where you can learn a great deal about filmmaking and life. If you're not a samurai fan by the end, then there's a problem.”
DVD Spine #2 Learn more » -
···
CloseContempt
Jean-Luc Godard
WC-CR-85: “Godard's scathing look into international filmmaking is pretty ironic when considering that this was an international production!”
DVD Spine #171 Learn more » -
···
CloseMon oncle
Jacques Tati
WC-CR-85: “This was the first Tati film I saw. His comic timing and his use of satire in the face of technology stands alongside with other geniuses in comedy.”
DVD Spine #111 Learn more » -
···
CloseThe Wages of Fear
Henri-Georges Clouzot
WC-CR-85: “A portrait of the human soul disguised as an action blockbuster. It isn't Smokey and the Bandit, but trucks are as cool as Trans-Am's!”
DVD Spine #36 Learn more » -
···
CloseCarnival of Souls
Herk Harvey
WC-CR-85: “This was the film that introduced me to the world of Criterion. It's also a model for other zombie films that followed. Talk about B movie royalty!”
DVD Spine #63 Learn more » -
···
CloseThe Passion of Joan of Arc
Carl Th. Dreyer
WC-CR-85: “This is one I appreciate not because of its story but because of Dreyer's masterful technique and his excessive use of close-ups.”
DVD Spine #62 Learn more » -
···
CloseM
Fritz Lang
WC-CR-85: “I think this is an important film for both German and world cinema. It might be considered a "film 101" because it set a standard for other films.”
