Films That Deserve a Criterion Release

By: Scorpio Velvet

The Criterion Collection is a wonderful series of collecting rare & important classics from around the world since 1984.

I will be naming a few films that I have seen right now that Criterion should release. I will watch more rare & important classics I think that they should earn a special release as well this list will extend time after time.
