The criterion haul has become my favorite tv show đ€đđ„
Litness reigns đđ„
When Perry gives his synopsis of The Game as the classical music intensified is everything
"Monterey Pop": Jimi Hendrix arrived as a rumor, left as a legend.
Not sure if the name is correct, but Perry(?) comes off as the most likable person i've ever seen on youtube.
Get Blue Velvet!!! I'd give it a soft 10 lol
every time you guys do these I'm so jealous we don't have the whole collection in the UK. I'd love to do a huge criterion haul. Also Lady Snowblood is amazing.
Great dynamic between all four of you... and HIGHLY recommend Sansho the Bailiff; an absolute masterpiece.
Criterion godâs back at it again.
The minute Perry picked up that fucking criterion I knew he was gonna say that shit from the Nicholas Winding Refn closet picks. Also, worth noting but the editing in your videos has gotten way better in the last month. It wasn't bad or anything before, but it's much more concise and feels like the commentary is more clean and to the point without rushing or speeding through which makes me want more of your content instead of just being okay when the video ends. You shoulda gotten Che and the Marlon Riggs one that just released btw.
"Che" and "Carlos" are both musts. Good and long, and I watched each in one sitting.
Another along similar lines that is terrific is "State of Siege". Also based on a true story.
Carlos is great, Che should have been much better than it is.
I bought Dekalog, Man Push Cart, Something Wild, Bicycle thieves, The Hit, and Ratcatcher for my last November haul
Wait, none of you have seen Sansho The Bailiff? That's criminal. 5th on my all-time favourites list, first on my favourite Asian films list. Incredible life-affirming masterpiece.
Mizoguchi was one of cinemaâs greatest masters.
To the shopper that put it back; buy Wanda next sale. Also, I'd say Short Cuts is better than The Player so I'd pick it up. You're a fan of Altman so you were probably going to alreadyđ
Blue velvet is crying.
Love these vids!! Now time to save up for the October/November sale!
Secrets and Lies is wonderful.
I'd like to cue readers in on a little known art film entitled BREACH (2020), featuring Bruce Willis in his most riveting performance to date. Compelling storytelling, an wholly original, award worthy script, and special effects which rival Jurassic Park. A Criterion release is surely impending!
The final haul to rule them all has a nice ring to it
Tampopo is beautiful
It is that also. And the cover does it justice.
Really hope more Juzo Itami films get added to the collection
the food squeezing scene is how im going to be when i get old
I keep seeing They Live By Night while youâre going through them. Great Nicholas Ray film as is Bigger Than Life which looks beautiful on bluray.
29:30 âI was calm on the outside, but on the inside always thinkingâŠabout what I want to get this saleâ
âThe Gameâ is one of Fincherâs best imo. Perryâs explanation of it is spot on.
Ty. I can't give my in depth thoughts on every film I pick up otherwise we wouldbe there all day, but I try to give them some kind of justice.
@@betterversionn I'm not active on social media, but Carlos and I were talking about doing an entire criterion collection video after the November sale. Nothing concrete yet.
@@betterversionn Thanks. That means the world to me.
Tampopo is a literal spaghetti western. I fucking love that film.
Itâs hilarious.
Or, more "accurately," a "ramon western".
@@jnagarya519 true.
But the term spaghetti western is already famous for the world of cinema. So when I call it a literal spaghetti western, it catches a lot more peopleâs attention that way.
Canât wait for you guys to reach 10k subs. You definitely deserve it!!
"Paths of Glory" is a MUST.
Also consider the political context of the time: McCarthyism.
Kirk Douglas had what are technically known as "testicles" -- research the background of the film "Spartacus" (not a favorite) and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo: it broke the "Hollowood Blacklist".
Criterion and classical music! What can you ask for more?
Iâm here for the final haul đ„ đż
I loved The Game, Multiple Maniacs and Fantastic Mr. Fox!!!! Great picks!
I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but Erick found the criterion blu ray for All About Eve off some employee's cart after we stopped filming. I bought it of course.
F's in the chat for Blue Velvet
You should really seek out âHere is your lifeâ by Jan Troell. The best coming of age movie ever.
Will definitely look into it. Thanks!
Heaven Can Wait is another great looking Criterion, my favorite Lubitsch film.
The 3 films in the Bunuel boxset are only in that boxset and not sold seperately by Criterion. Also those are 3 of his best. Would 100% recommend it.
Just bought the boxset this week! I recently rewatched Discreet Charm for the first time in years. Hated it the first time I saw it, loved it this time. Also love Phantom of Liberty. Obscure Object of Love I liked but didnât love. But still a ridiculously impressive three film stretch. Has a director ever ended an already impressive career on such a high note??
Gate of Hell is beautiful , canât go wrong. Same director made a great silent film, Page of Madness.
goddamn it dude pick up Blue Velvet! It's one of my all time favorites and my second favorite Lynch film. it has really great hitchcockesque suspense in it
Bringing Up Baby just got released too, the greatest and craziest screwball comedy ever made.
I'm in Savannah and our B&N doesn't have as many titles!! Got Rohmer's Six Moral Tales the last time!!
I thought Savannah would have a decent selection. Iâm planning to vacation there next year
@@TheMisfitPond It's not a terrible selection! Your location just looks like you have more! Savannah is a cool spot for vacation. Tour the cemeteries!
@@NovaFeedback1979 I drove an hour just to get to that location lol the Barnes and noble nearest my actual address literally only has maybe 2 criterions if youâre lucky lmao but yes Iâm definitely planning to your the cemeteries and go to all the historical locations
Yâall just glide over dinner w Andre đ
I haven't seen it, and I don't like blind buying. I'm going to watch it before the next sale.
If you liked Cat People, check out I Walked With a Zombie and Isle of the Dead if you havenât seen them already.
"Lady Snowblood" inspired "Kill Bill".
No one:
Carlos: Blue Velvet? Fuck That Shit! Tampopo!
Lmao okay now this is the comment of the century. Dude I highly encourage you specifically to become a $5 patron and join the discord. Youâd fit in so well with the gang
I wish I could pick up more Criterions yet my wallet is in critical condition with the amount of money I've spent for this month's haul.
One film Coppola made later that is great fun is Tucker.
Itâs almost jarring to see how much Perry buys...
Iâm shocked every time.
My criterion addiction is unhealthy, but we all have our vices.
@@jesusperez7108 Yes, but my vices are better than your vices.
@@jnagarya519 I don't know. Kino is good as gold.
Perry is freaking sending these box sets!
I cannot wait to watch the Bergman and Fellini films I haven't seen now that I have the boxsets.
If you guys liked Naked I reckon you would like Nil by Mouth. Itâs a bleak british drama with some very powerful performances, especially from Ray Winestone and Kathy Burke. Itâs written and directed by Gary Oldman. Iâve heard BFI are working on a blu ray release for it, still only available on dvd and probably hard to find in the US. Itâs a shame Iâve literally never heard anyone mention it before except for one video by cinema cartography called The Aesthetic of Evil. It has a great soundtrack too that really stands out to me. Itâs the most realistic film Iâve ever seen hands down. I love these bleak british dramas, This is England is another good one too, where the series is as good if not better
Nil by Mouth sounds really interesting. I'm going to add it to my watchlist.
@@jesusperez7108 Nice I hope you can find it without too much trouble. What makes it all the more shocking is that Kathy Burke was only really know for her comedic role on Harry Enfieldâs show, best known as Perry from Kevin and Perry. This role shows a completely different side that proves how good she is. She won best actress at Cannes for the role. Gary Oldmanâs sister is also one of the characters. Apparently he only did The Fifth Element so that Luc Besson would help produce this film.
Itâs probably the most hard hitting film Iâve ever seen, and Iâve seen a few. I donât think many Americans know about this movie, thereâs barley any reviews on it. Thanks for giving it a chance dude!
"Yeah, you say those words!"
Watch Tetro if ya like rumble fish
Itâs Coppolas brother film to rumble fish
Jackie Chan was inspired by Harold Lloyd.
I think he said he "wanted to be like a Chaplin or Buster Keaton." Regarding Keaton he said "I think he's the best." However he does acknowledge drawing inspiration from a number of silent comedians including Lloyd.
And Gen got a blind buy!!
Have any of you guys seen Shock Corridor or The Naked KISS on Criterion? I love your haul videos.
No, but I plan on watching Shock Corridor soon.
Wages of Fear or Sorcerer?
I was blown away by Sorcerer and think itâs a masterpiece, havenât seen Wages of Fear though
I saw "Wages of Fear," and many of the older films, on TV, repeatedly, while growing up. (I was born the day before yesterday.)
I love both, but Sorcerer has greater Litness đ„đ
I never heard of sorcerer until a few months ago. I definitely want to check it out because everyone says itâs fantastic. Definitely check out wages of fear as well tho. itâs the O.G.
I saw Sorcerer recently, and finally because of the name. I thought for the longest time it was one of those 70s larger budget Omen/Exorcism wannabes.
Gate of Hell is brilliant.
So excited to check it out!
Hi great video. could you ask perry where he got that stalker tshirt? Itâs so sick
Ty. Carlos bought it for me off Redbubble.
Indeed I did
Why is the music at your Barnes and noble so intense? đ
Idk but I F**king hate it lol
La Haine the French donât sound their Hâs immediately after a vowel so La Haine would be said La Ayne. Ai is sounded like Ay and the n is slightly elongated.
Ty for clearing that up.
If you want to watch something spicy, blind buy âIn the realm of sensesâ. Donât do any research on the plot of the movie and just watch it.
I recently got that. Great color transfer -- and it is actually quite good.
My friend Mike saw it and said it an offensive near 2 hour porno lol but since yâall like it, maybe Iâll give it a shot
@@TheMisfitPond Itâs definitely not for everyone
Wait, you guys live in Georgia!?
Yes. We're a bunch of Georgia boys.
@@jesusperez7108 Nice! I just moved to Savannah about a month ago. Great pick ups guys!
If you love Rififi, watch Topkapi.
Will do
What state are you guys in?
Georgia
@@jesusperez7108 they literally said it right after I asked this haha.
get notes on the cinematographer
I wonder if she's ever told you "We'll see if it was worth it" on your many Blind Buys.
Oh many times. I remember when I blind bought the thin red line, we both said it wasnât worth it after watching it. But I ended up giving it to Perry as a gift so I guess it was. The fun part of blind buying is taking a chance and seeing if it was all worth it.
Yes sir, it is after all a blind buy . Both sides can go terribly wrong in picking lol and yes thin red line , also was not one for me lol great vid :D and đđœ great job guys
My thoughts I had while watching this again:
Love the Paths of Glory pick, my favourite Kubrick film
Tampopo is really damn funny, I would recommend that also
I have had Wages of Fear in my watchlist for so long, it sounds excellent
Yeah I have to agree with Jen I'm not really a fan of First Reformed either
I also wasn't a fan of Rashomon either tbh, I had to watch it for University and I didn't really like it
But Rebecca is an amazing film, one of my favourite Hitchcock's
Don't want to continue being a hater haha, but I fucking hated Rushmore, I like other Wes Anderson films and it's one of my best friends favourite movies but yeah, just did not do it for me
Police Story is awesome, Jackie Chan is great, I have not seen the second one either, but I liked his 'Armour of God' movies which is basically like his Indiana Jones and they are really fun
I love most of the Buñuel films I've seen, wasn't big on Discreet Charm, I found it a little repetitive and drawn out but I am interested in seeing it again, I actually watched That Obscure Object of Desire the other day and I loved that, Belle De Jour and Los Olvidados are great too, Olvidados is like a Spanish 400 Blows and its better imo
Great picks once again kings
More votes for "Paths of Glory" and "Tampopo"!
How do you guys afford to eat and pay rent? Without proof of purchase, how do we know that you're not just accumulating stacks of blu-rays for show?
Lmao weâre gonna be doing a criterion collection video before the year ends if you really donât believe us. Perry saves up all year just for the sale. I donât save that much and I have to pay rent and other bills which is why my stack (Carlos) is never that large.
@@TheMisfitPond Sure sure, I think what really happens is that you guys put all those Criterions back, then you walk out with the entire Fast & Furious film series instead :-D
@@UToobin75 đđ lmao comment of the century
@@UToobin75 I'm going to take a picture with my entire criterion collection, since you don't believe me.
@@jesusperez7108 lol relax bro, I'll take your word for it lol. I was mostly joking.
david lynch down voted this
Yeah just take off the masks to talk at the store, why not?
In cataloguing, "btw", the indefinite articles "A" and "An" and the definite article "The" don't count - otherwise the "T" section would dwarf the rest of the collection. "The Vanishing" belongs in the "Vs". You found it there because some idiot (most likely NOT a B&N employee, but likely someone else on an "unforgettable kino adventure") put it there. You're the one who claimed you leave everything "put back and organized properly" when clearly you do not. Just making a point, dude...
8 minutes in, and you put "The Vanishing" in front of "Two-Lane Blacktop" - and since these are such "unforgettable" experiences, you forgot Perry bought "The Vanishing" in the video you posted 10 days before this one. So, "put back and organized properly" and "unforgettable kino adventure" my a$$...;+) But seriously, Carlos, the "Brazil" special feature that's the best is the "Love Conquers All" version of the film, which is the one Warner Brother's was demanding when Gilliam took his cut and showed it to the L.A. Film Critics Association,, who awarded it best picture, best director and best screenplay. The "Love Conquers All" version completely changes the whole message and intent of the film and shows how Hollywood commerce can often ruin true film art. Strange that you didn't "connect" with "The Parallax View", but you were looking for "12 Angry Men" that, while a classic play, has been done to death by community theaters since the early 60s, and though well-acted, is really just a film version of the play.
