Finally got this a few months ago. Going thru all the movies that are out on blu, trying to find some I like, have some replay value to add to my collection. There are over 830+ Criterion blu-ray releases. Made a spreadsheet of them all, keeping track of which ones I've watched.

Lot of hip hop related movies this month:

The Criterion Channel’s August 2023 Lineup
