The Auteurs' Fake Criterion Covers

Doooo iiiiiittttt

Fantastic

Thanks, Samantha! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

Thank you for that Samantha. It would be very nice of you!

Last one, I promise.

that 2nd NETWORK is brilliant…it’s the movie summed up!

The archive idea is awesome

I concur…is it possible to NOT include my cover of SKIDOO? None of my covers are BRILLIANT, but that one really rots

Lovely “Brick” Cover!

Josh, love the Fly cover. Awesome!

Josh, that second cover for Network is amazing….

I appreciate the love for the second Network cover, but the art comes from an original theatrical poster I found. I’d love to take credit for it, but it ain’t mine. I agree, it’s a perfect image for that movie. I really enjoyed watching it.

Also, CARTER: that’s a VERY cool piece for Brick. When I think of that movie I think of smoke. But you’ve done a great job of creating a ‘floating heads’ cover that feels unique and, again, cool.

DANIEL: another in the simple/bold style. Very good. Sometimes less is more.

JASPAR: I really like the concept of having a selection from the script (I’m assuming that’s what it is as I have not seen the film [I shall have to remedy that]). It’s a lot to read but a cool effect.

Here’s a guilty little pleasure flick of mine. I chose this frame because it’s beautiful but also because it sets up the love triangle perfectly right there on screen.

And this one cause… I’m a guy…

This one’s not perfect. It’s a little too sexy to work as a D&C cover, but what the hell.

Now back to the auteurs. The people I took with me to see this film hated it. It says a lot more about them than it does the film.

That Magnolia cover is stunning! I love that movie.

Here is the completed cover to Vito and The Others that I posted a few days ago.

Josh-Awesome work on this page. That Magnolia cover is especially brilliant.

Carter-Great Brick cover, I love that movie. I like how you incorporated the phonebooth, such a staple of noirs and neo-noirs.

Thanks all who’ve been working on my requests…here’s some more.

Being There
Top Secret
The Big Blue
Young Frankenstein
Narc
Carlito’s Way
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Phil Kaufman version from ’78)

NEVER LET THIS THREAD DIE!!

I lied, heres one more.

That’s definitely a cover that Pacino would like…

Nice Carlito’s Way cover…I like…

Here is the Vito and the Others cover that I was working on, its the finished version of the one that I posted earlier.

Here is a box set that I hope one day will come to Criterion.

Disc One: Directors Cut:

Disc Two: Theatrical Release:

Disc Three: The Supplements:

Here is pic of all three covers side by side:

Anyone care to do one for Top Gun, Krull, Heavy Metal and a challenge to make a better cover off the oop Straw Dogs criterion? Also i’d love to see one for The Bird With The Crystal Plumage.
just some suggestions I cant photoshop and I think this is the best thread on the site. Keep up the great work guys, fun stuff

ILLWILL: those are fantastic! I’d love to see more box sets like this and those that Brandon did for Van Sant and Gallo.

date is wrong.

That’s great David…I went in the COMPLETE OPPOSITE direction on this one…with NO DATE!
