The Criterion Collection

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

David Fincher

Down by Law

Jim Jarmusch

Andrew Aldridge: “Classic Jarmusch! B&W suits him the best! He really knows how to use it well.”

Badlands

Terrence Malick

Andrew Aldridge: “Love it! So happy to have all of Malick's films on Blu-ray!”

The Game

David Fincher

Andrew Aldridge: “A solid genre film from a master filmmaker. Unfortunately, the film has little to offer with the exception of some fantastically shot action sequences”

Lonesome

Paul Fejos

Andrew Aldridge: “Oh it's so good!”

Paris, Texas

Wim Wenders

Andrew Aldridge: “You just can't beat the scene near the end when Harry Dean Stanton finally speaks to his wife. One of the great moments in film history.”

Tiny Furniture

Lena Dunham

Andrew Aldridge: “Most people either love or hate everything Lena Dunham has made. I'm the former!”

Pina

Wim Wenders

Andrew Aldridge: “Sublime! A film that really needs to be seen in 3D! The Making Of supplement (also in 3D) documents the technology better than anything I've ever seen”

The Night of the Hunter

Charles Laughton

Andrew Aldridge: “One of the best villains in movie history! The hymn-duet stand-off with Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish is my favorite part.”

3 Women

Robert Altman

Andrew Aldridge: “This one's really bizarre. I'm a huge fan of Altman, Duvall, and Spacek, so I did really enjoy this. Just don't ask me to explain it.”

Harakiri

Masaki Kobayashi

Andrew Aldridge: “Best samurai film EVER! Even though Kurasawa made some great ones, I don't believe any of them are quite as good as this. What a fantastic story!”

Vivre sa vie

Jean-Luc Godard

Andrew Aldridge: “I don't know what it is about Anna Karina, but I think I'm in love.”

The Darjeeling Limited

Wes Anderson

Andrew Aldridge: “This was the film that finally got me into Wes Anderson. I'd seen nearly all his films before, but this was the first that I latched onto personally.”

Revanche

Götz Spielmann

Andrew Aldridge: “Gorgeous and simple. A very easy film to get on board with. I don't know if I've ever seen a story told in such an engaging, yet effortless way.”

Antichrist

Lars von Trier

Andrew Aldridge: “Tragically I can't bring myself to show this film to anyone that I really care about. However, it's a tremendous accomplishment!”

The Royal Tenenbaums

Wes Anderson

Andrew Aldridge: “Anderson's coming of age in all it's glory”

Certified Copy

Abbas Kiarostami

Andrew Aldridge: “Might be the most beautiful and interesting film I have ever seen. ”

Being John Malkovich

Spike Jonze

Andrew Aldridge: “This is just a great little film! I'm so happy Spike Jonze is part of the collection now!”

Wings of Desire

Wim Wenders

Andrew Aldridge: “Very poetic and just all around beautiful. Still don't understand it all, but it's absolutely fascinating!”

Letter Never Sent

Mikhail Kalatozov

Andrew Aldridge: “A really great discovery and a great addition to Criterion. The shooting style is way ahead of it's time and feels a lot like an Alfonso Cuaron film.”

La haine

Mathieu Kassovitz

Andrew Aldridge: “Vincent Cassel doing the mirror routine from Taxi Driver is definitely my favorite part. It's a really cool film though. And the ending is killer!”

The Double Life of Véronique

Krzysztof Kieślowski

Andrew Aldridge: “Not going to lie, the yellow-green tint makes me a little nauseous, but I adore Kieslowski and I'm eagerly awaiting the Decalogue to own all his work”

The Thin Red Line

Terrence Malick

Andrew Aldridge: “The most beautiful film about death you'll ever see.”

Days of Heaven

Terrence Malick

Andrew Aldridge: “Even today, Malick's second film feels very modern. Both spectacular and intimate in scale.”

Solaris

Andrei Tarkovsky

Andrew Aldridge: “Really hoping Criterion can get their hands on Stalker, but Solaris is a great film to own too until then. Absolutely gorgeous transfer!”

The Seventh Seal

Ingmar Bergman

Andrew Aldridge: “Surprisingly, there's a good bit of humor thrown in to this film. Gotta love Jons the squire”

Fish Tank

Andrea Arnold

Andrew Aldridge: “Bought it blind and now it's one of my favorites! Such a raw and honest story, shot and acted beautifully. Everyone I've shown it to has loved it!”

Hunger

Steve McQueen

Andrew Aldridge: “The film itself is my favorite from Criterion. McQueen and Fassbender are an incredible team. Overwhelmingly poetic and brutally honest.”

Blow Out

Brian De Palma

Andrew Aldridge: “De Palma's most impressively shot film. The hour-long interview conducted by Noah Baumbach and the interview with Garrett Brown are great supplements!”

Three Colors

Krzysztof Kieślowski

Andrew Aldridge: “This is the best set Criterion has to offer. Three incredible films with tons of equally fascinating supplements. My favorite purchase! A MUST HAVE!”
