Fine that it wasn't your cup of tea and that you couldn't connect with the characters, but there's definitely a story to Mulholland Drive
I’m still trying to get it. Glad you could see the story there, that’s awesome. How would you explain the story? I would love to connect more to the movie.
My worst regret is Pam’s Labyrinth, I bought it for almost $30 and the next day I saw the Blu-ray for $1 on a thrift store. And honestly I felt so freaking dumb. But we all make mistakes.
$30? You didn’t wait for the Criterion sale month to at least get for $20? But so true, mistakes do happen.
@megamikethemovieman same has happened to me a few times because I go a lot to Goodwill!🤑
Pam's Labyrinth? Seriously?
@@vincezom haha I’m ashamed to admit it but yes. I hadn’t seen it since middle school so I wanted to rewatch it and bought the criterion version.

Holy crap!
Dude! You collect funco pops and you like Howard the duck and teen/chick movies. Why in the world would you even consider watching a Bergman film, let alone buying one? So, it went way over your head. No surprise there. Also, you say that you thought On the Waterfront was going to be like The Godfather. Why? Because Brando was in it?
Again, Dude!
Try this; if you have to think about a movie, skip it. It'll be too much for you. It might, as you say, "hurt your brain". If you hurt your brain too much, it might stop going Beep, Beep, Beep! and then where would you be?
Wise words. I just need to preview more before I buy. Especially if the price is hefty. Those were some of my first Criterion titles though when I just started collecting so I got swept up in the hype. Any other Criterions you would recommend to me based off my particular tastes?
Plan on buying Mulholland Drive this month!
Nice! Hope you enjoy more than me, it definitely has its fans. Are you a big fan of that Director?
My favourite film and Blue Velvet isn’t far behind 😊
The first 2/3 is Diane’s dream and the end is her reality. It makes sense 😊
I do think Seventh Seal is a bit overrated 😊
@@hvitekristesdod Why do so many love that one?
Fast Times at RH is a classic. Great comedy and all star cast.
Absolutely. You think most people would like?
@@megamikethemovieman if you like growing up type of comedy. Not as harsh as American Pie or Porkys.
What Criterion’s does everyone regret picking up and what is everyone’s favorites?
Pretty much anything David Lynch is a must buy for me so no regrets there. I'm also really happy with The Trial, One Night in Miami, The Others and some others...and was really pleasantly surprised with The Red Balloon set.
The Apu Trilogy is probably my biggest disappointment
Great list, Mike. I’m glad you said that about Charade. I have the Blu Ray already and really like the movie, but that does not sound like much of an upgrade.
It’s not. Just an overpriced Blu-ray. I wonder why they didn’t include legit special features with it?
The TV version of Fast Times of Ridgemont should be called the Nic Cage Cut :)
Not sure if I watched the tv version. Is that a special feature on the Criterion? And does Nic Cage make it better or worst? 🤣
Bro you really like Young Jeff Bridges
I agree with all of the must owns & I liked Triangle Of Silence with the exception of the first 25 minutes and that’s the only reason that I haven’t purchased it yet.
It’s not bad by any means, it’s mid for me overall but just overly long and don’t feel the need to rewatch. Have you ever seen the movie Swept Away? It’s a similar premise.
@@megamikethemovieman no, I actually never seen Swept Away. See you tonight on the stream.
I meant, no, I’ve actually never seen Swept Away.
Nice1 Mike, I love "Rushmore" and "Defending Your Life" and I have the Criterions of those myself, I also love "The Princess Bride" but I only have a regular ("special edition") Blu-ray of that one. I haven't seen "The Seventh Seal" in a VERY long time but I did thought it was brilliant when I rented (and then bought) the DVD back in the 90s and I now own the 4K which I'm saving for the "right time" to revisit 🙂I haven't seen most of the others, I do recall watching "Mulholland Drive" and not getting on with it at all..but I would give it another go at some point and although I've not seen "Fast times..." I definitely want to see that one as so many people seem to really rate it !
If you love raunchy comedies you will really like Fast Times. One of the best coming of age 80s stories of all time. You a raunchy comedy fan?
@@megamikethemovieman It depends 🙂I absolutely love "Bachelor Party" but I'm not a fan of "Porkys" (for example).
I was so disappointed in the Ninja Turtles DVD I got for the grandkids. I definitely think it was rot . So blurry 😮
I have the Criterion DVD of White Dog which I didn't know was controversial here in continental US. Because some people think it's a racist movie but it's the other way around it's anti racism. Well I like the movie and have on Venezuelan VHS prior to the DVD. I thought the movie would have a Blu-ray by now but nope. Too controversial for Criterion Blu-ray. I bought some time ago the Night Of The Living Dead 4K and don't regret it even though I think 4K for a black and white movie is overkill. I think I have another Criterion or two but can't remember. I usually don't buy from them because they don't handle horror movies. Anyway good list good showing and cool video Mike!👉🙂👈
To say that it's too controversial for Criterion is ridiculous. Lack of a blu ray release usually is because of a rights issue. Also, anyone who would buy this movie most likely knows that it's a famously anti-racism film. Condescend much?
@vincezom Criterion rarely handles risqué movies. And I red somewhere that Sam Fuller didn't want the movie to continue to be distributed because of the backlash the DVD received. But who knows if Goodbye Uncle Tom gets released again why not White Dog. Tom had to be shot in Dominican Republic because USA didn't allowed it to be filmed in US territory!🤔
I was shocked when you had Charade on your regret list, but thankfully it wasn’t about the film itself. I think it’s an awesome film but I 100% agree with you that there is nothing about it that separates it from the standard Blu-ray release which I own and I would not “upgrade” to the Criterion edition.
I agree that The Seventh Seal was a snooze fest. I love older films, I love B&W films, and I am into foreign language films, but I couldn’t stand this one. I wanted to love it so bad.
Fun video Mike!
Charade was such an awesome movie, it’s just tougher with way older films to get those special feature interviews sometimes. But if it’s Criterion I do expect them to get something a little more. Ya not sure why The Seventh Seal was so overhyped for the longest time? Any Criterion’s you would recommend to me knowing my particular movie tastes now?
'Mulholland Drive' and 'The Seventh Seal' are masterworks and 2 of my all-time favorite films.
And while I enjoy all your recommendations and even own 3 of the 5 , 'Princess Bride' is the only one I'd consider a 'must have film' for most people.
But hey...we all have different taste and selection criteria! 😄
Absolutely, all subjective. Glad you enjoyed those 2 more than me. Based off knowing my tastes now, any other Criterions you would recommend for me to pickup?
@@megamikethemovieman You could try "Silence of the Lambs", 'The Game' or 'Breakfast Club'. Also would recommend checking them out on streaming or renting before committing to the physical release. Enjoy!
@@megamikethemovieman
Some recommendations you may enjoy...
"The Breakfast Club"
"The Graduate"
"The Game"
"Bringing Up Baby"
@@994pt4 I do got those ones and they’re all enjoyable! Great Recs though, you definitely know my taste in Criterion.
@@megamikethemovieman Nice! So many good films out there for us movie lovers 😃
Love the honesty about the CC that bored you to death 😂
Absolutely, life’s too short for boring movies 🤣 Do you collect much Criterion?
@@megamikethemovieman oh yes..I collect CC. I don’t have as many as you, but I have 2 shelves full. One film from CC I wish I could get into is one of your favorites. The Princess Bride I just can’t get into. I’ve tried to watch it 2x and I can’t get thru it. But I’m keeping it because of the supplements. And maybe one of these days I’ll finish it.
@@slate49 Totally understandable. Every movie will play different to everyone, it’s all subjective. Usually after 2 try’s on a movie I give up for good on it, so you’re braver than me. What are your favorites out of your CC?
Preordered Perfect Days and ordered Punch-Drunk Love and Grand Budapest today :) Thanks B&N 😁
Grand Budapest is one of my favorites! Punch Drunk Love was trippy. Do you think Perfect Days would match my taste?
@@megamikethemovieman I would say probably not as it’s slow moving and a foreign film, but if you can appreciate the overall melancholy-happy vibe to it I’d say give it a watch because it’s bound to put a smile on your face. Focuses mainly on a low-income man’s appreciation for life even in its mundane moments. One of the best endings and feel-good movies I’ve seen in recent memory :)
@@stickyyyyyy I do like the way the story sounds, kind of like It’s a Wonderful Life ending? Only hesitation it’s foreign language film and I’m just tougher on those overall, but I did like Parasite and Godzilla Minus One.
@@megamikethemovieman Go for it then!! Ending I’d say has a similar vibe. There’s not too much dialogue in the film so it’s not hard to keep up with subtitles.
@@stickyyyyyy So more of a silent film? Or are there still sounds, etc? Like a Quiet Place and a Zone of Interest.
On the Waterfront was about the serious work issues at the time in the country so it hit hard at the time. David Lynch movies are beautifully shot, but yes very complicated and layered. It’s like he had five scripts from five different movies, threw them in the air and wherever they landed is the order of the movie. Lost Highway was like that also. People like Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, but I really don’t like it.
Never seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but definitely was on the fence about that one. Do you think it would be my cup of tea? And so Waterfront kind of seems like Citizen Kane where it was more relevant and impactful during the time I’m guessing?
@@megamikethemovieman If you understand about hard drugs I guess the movie might make sense. It doesn’t make sense to me.
You don't know what a good Movie is
@@h.jjimenez700 What’s some of your favorite Criterions movie friend?
After hours is one, I would have to look at all of them I looked at the post I sent you and I didn't mean to be rude you are good at what you do I will let you know other movies I think are good in The C.Collection in the future.
Love your criterion vidoe
Thank you so much. You a big Criterion collector?
@@megamikethemovieman yes but not big Criterion Collocation as you
@@80sdreamwave32 What are your top favorites you have?
@@megamikethemovieman moonstruck 1987 all about eve 1950s. The princess bride 1987
@@80sdreamwave32 I heard Moonstruck is a good one. Is that a Nick Cage movie?
Stopped watching when I saw MD come up. Get out dude
