The Official Criterion Collection Thread

[Nature's Fury]

peeped a few movies this week, so i'll give a short summary...

La Haine - A+ love this movie to death...watch it at least once a month
Breathless - A- seen it a long time ago, but it was much better than i remembered...classic characters...
Foreign Correspondent - B- nowhere near Hitchcock's best, but still an entertaining watch...forgettable tho
Vampyr - D- saw this movie in a few of those list somebody posted a few days ago...took me two tries to get through even tho the movie was only 1:13 long...
M - A- been puttin this off for a minute for some reason, but this movie was damn good...there's a few more widely regarded classics that i've been puttin off that i need to go ahead and run through...

what's your top 5 hitch breh?

Man, I knew that question was coming

For some reason, I've been drawn to the lesser known Hitchcock films and enjoyed them more on first watch....maybe because I went in with no expectations

1. Vertigo
2. Strangers On A Train
3. I Confess
4. The Lady Vanishes
5. Foreign Correspondent
5b....Psycho, Rope, Notorious, Rear Window

fukk you, that's too hard.

@HHR

Vertigo gets worse for me everytime i see it

 

[One4Deuce]

George Washington

Powerful movie

Bought this the other day but haven't watched it yet, really looking forward to it.

Shadow Of A Doubt is 5C.....lol

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Things to Come is the only Criterion Collection I regret buying. The hammy acting kills it for me, but the audio commentary track was enjoyable.

[HHR]
