Movies That Should Be In the Criterion Collection

The Bride Wore Black

More korean and Hong Kong films. Some Italian films, from the likes of Rosi (Illustrious Corpses) and oh for INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN UNDER SUSPICION. Some Bresson and Rivette.

I agree with Christopher: There’s a nice DVD available from Italy, but De Sica’s Two Women definitely deserves an English-friendly release. My favorite film by him.

I don’t know if this has been posted, but on Amazon you can vote for the next Criterion Blu Ray.

If “Equinox” and “The Blob” can get some Criterion love, there’s no reason “The Day the Earth Stood Still” shouldn’t.

Catherine and Co (the woman who made Fat Girl’s first screenplay, not out on DVD anywhere, acclaimed French sex comedy from the 70s)
Black Lizard (cult classic that also isn’t on DVD)
Sante Sangre (I think this is released in Europe on DVD but nowhere in the states)
early John Waters that aren’t on DVD

I know there is a bunch else but I can’t think of them at the moment.

North by Northwest
Seconds
Easy Rider
The Fountainhead
Beatles Hard Days Night and Help!
BIlly Jack and Trial of Billy Jack
Psycho
Shadow of a Doubt

Mr. Klein! Great choice Christopher!

Also, I am Cuba needs a reissue and makes me wonder why Mikheil Kalatozishvili isn’t on the auteur list.

Also, The State of Things from Wim Wenders.

The Stepfather (the original Jos. Ruben)
The Grey Fox (Borsos)
92 in the Shade (mc guane)
sometimes a great notion (newman)
last night at the alamo
Last Summer (Frank Perry)
criterion quality transfers for Year of the Cat (Frears) and One Eyed Jacks
and better transfer for Rancho Deluxe, miami blues

More from Francesco Rosi indeed. The Mattei affair for example or Illustrious corpses.

Some movies by Satyajit Ray

The Search (1948), maybe a forgotten, nice war movie by master Zinnemann. Especially because the only DVD copy of that is actually more a VHS copy.

Sergio Leone! Expeciallly “Once upon a time in America”

Agree with Michael about the second movie, untraceable. The great Varrick should be avalable in a good edition.

I’m sure it got mentionned ten thousand times but; Pulp Fiction.
And Memento. Although the standard double disc dvd is pretty badass.
And Army of Darkness. I kid you not, that’d be great.

Tarkovsky. Please. I would really like to see a print of The Sacrifice that isn’t awful before I die. And The Mirror.

Also, Come and See.

I don’t know what Criterion seems to have against amazing depressing E. European epics.

Anything by Ingmar Bergman which they haven’t already released. I’m surprised that ‘The Magician,’ which is distributed by Janus Films, hasn’t shown up already, but there are many others which are already out in Sweden….
Korda’s/H.G. Wells’s ‘Things to Come,’ the most important science fiction film between ‘Metropolis’ (oh, how I wish Criterion, rather than Kino, had gotten that) and ‘2001’.

Werckmeister Harmonies, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Metropolis, Day for Night, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Spirited Away, Manhattan, Rocco and his Brothers.

Before Night Falls (2000)

In The Name of The Father (1993)

Faster, Pussycat Kill! Kill! (1965)

Béla Tarr

Miklós Jancsó

Antonioni’s Chung Kou – Cina

Tarkovsky’s Sacrifice

Bertolucci’s THE CONFORMIST!
