Ringwald understood the assignment. Girl started big with that Dietrich box set and kept going. When she pulled out the Fellini box I was in tears with joy. Go big Molly!!

They should get the rest of The Breakfast Club in there, just so Judd Nelson could say “Does Criterion know that you raid their closet?”

Molly!!! I love Molly for sentimental reasons of my teen-age-hood. but also because she is an interesting, intelligent, strong, fun and talented woman. some years ago they ran an article in playbill magazine asking actors to list the best broadway shows they had ever seen-and Molly's list was wonderful. it was so eclectic. it was so smart. and her comments on each show were so specific and spot on. she's an icon. and one of her favorite films is IL NOTTI DI CABIRIA-AND Fellini kissed her on the head?? come on! come on!????

Wow. 11 picks, including 5 box sets. More than 20 movies altogether. I've never seen anyone walk out of that closet with so much swag. Nice work, Molly!

Molly Ringwald absolutely aced that. Great choices. I love the random pick. They should do that every time, and I also think they should suggest a film to introduce to the collection that isn't there currently. I'd love to see films likeThe Green Ray included.

The random pick is highly underused...should be a required move.

I like the blind random pick idea. That should be a Criterion closet tradition, the last pick is a blind random one.

If I were invited to the Criterion Closet I would be like "No thanks, I brought my own tote bag" and I would proceed to shake out an Ikea Frakta. Also, really love Molly Ringwald!

You are absolutely right.

Mazursky's criminally underrated "Tempest" should be released by Criterion! So many unforgettable performances... Such zany joy.

Absolutely gorgeous! and some great taste in films, those of us old enough to remember her films when they were released really appreciate this.

I love that she can just casually drop that she met Felini before she knew who he was and he kissed her on the head lol

One of the best picks I've ever seen. I've watched few of the films that she picked, but the class and versatility in her choices is outstanding

Starting with the Dietrich & von Sternberg boxset is such a vibe

Molly , keep going , Gurl! I wanna see you do more stuff since CAPOTE! Our generation is NOT DONE , YET! ❤️ that you gave a shout out to Patricia Neal. One of the best EVER!🥇🏆. Just watched her in HUD this morning. Another great film with Patricia , Paul Newman , Brandon de Wilde and Melvyn Douglas. Great cinematography by James Wong Howe...🎉

Wow I haven't seen Molly in years, she looks good. Nice to see she's still passionate about film (maybe an A24 role will be around the corner for her)

She must have a very good collection at home. She was greedy, she was great. You take what you want but you have to talk your love and she did. One of the greatest CCC videos!

Bringing up a woman’s looks/age in a video that shows how smart and interesting she is….. boring. That is all you have to say? Shocked but not surprised.

The random pick was a good move. Perhaps Criterion should allow a "random fan" (non-celebrity) to enter the closet once in a while.

Umberto D is one of my fav movies. Each guest should continue doing one blind pick to end their selections. love that

I met Molly years ago right after The Breakfast Club was released. She's a very nice/cool person. Excellent choices.

When I saw her check for Blu-ray over DVD, I said “You go, Molly!!”

I loved her look. The Face in The Crowd comment was so on point. We are living it!

Wow! Her blind pick is one of my favorite movies! In fact, I watched Umberto D. Criterion blu-ray last night! Congrats Molly!

Molly Ringwald is the teen idol of the '80s and it's great to see that she still looks great after all these years. Also, I love it when they do random picks. Plus, you get to see the tastes some of these actors have. Your respect and love for the person goes even higher for their knowledge.

That cassavetes box set would be the FIRST thing Id grab from that closet

That random pick of Umberto D at the end made me really happy. My dad and I love that movie.

By far my favorite closet pick video! Goingo for the box sets and random pick! Molly is Mother

Looking great, Molly! Huge fan of yours here! Happy to know you love pre-codes, and that you chose the fantastic Dietrich-von Sternberg box set first ❤

Love Celine and Julie Go Boating. Saw it once, decades ago. It’s hard to find. Glad to know it’s still available.

Oooo, she got lucky on her “blind buy!” UMBERTO D is a fantastic movie!!! Yay!!!

I’ll always remember Molly from the first movie I ever saw her in, which was Tempest. My dad is Greek and most of the filming was in Greece. I’m only a couple years younger than her, but I can’t imagine the pressure of your first film being a John Cassavetes film, being surrounded by heavyweight talents. From the way she talks about it, it sounds like it was a good experience.

It's 2024 and Molly Ringwald is still the coolest girl in the world. ✨

She randomly picked Umberto D, that is my favorite movie...I could tell that was it as soon as she grabbed it!

Love that Molly picked the Ernst Lubitsch set. He basically discovered Jeanette MacDonald when he cast her in The Love Parade. She doesn't get enough credit for her work in early musical film.

Legend! ❤ Loved her season of _Feud: Capote & The Swans_ btw Always great to see her acting these days. Great picks, too! PS. Oh, to have met Fellini 🥰🥰🥰

I want that Godard sweater and on second thought that Fellini box as well the Cassavettes one too .

As I was watching this episode I just randomly tought that if I were in the closet I would close my eyes, and pick randomly 3 movies from each sides of the cabinet, and then this happens :)

Great to see Molly!

Awesome! I love her closet picks.👍

Great picks. And Molly looks fantastic! ✨

I think she will LOVE Umberto!! Beautiful, but heartbreaking. Would make a great double feature with Harry and Tonto.

I still think they should do a fan closet pick once a quarter or something and set some sort of limit because I know we're not all famous so we don't rob them blind, haha

Loved what she had to say about Rohmer. He’s my favorite any time of the year!

There's a reason I love to see Molly in anything, and hope we'll see her in so much more.

She did this like she was picking out steaks on "Supermarket Sweep". Respect.

Glad to see Molly pick A Face In The Crowd. Not sure I've seen that film picked before. An amazing performance by Andy Griffith, his first film. Also love Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau, especially in the final scene where he tells Andy Griffith what the future holds for him. Yes, we are living it, hopefully that will begin to fade away later this year, if not sooner.

girly took so much,, good for her, good for her

Nice to see her

I love how she fangirls over pre-Code films ❤

Nice picks! Molly cleaned that closet out, lol!

I’ve had a crush on Molly Ringwald since The Breakfast Club. At 53, I still do.😊

I've watched a fair amount of these, sorry for kind of a newbie question though: do they get to keep these or do they return them?

just suggested "a face in the crowd" to a friend for the same exact reason, life imitating art as we speak.

I have not seen her in many years. Interesting how she still has a youthful look about her. I loved her acting.

Loved it she’s just impeccable love her outfit and she reminds me of how we can teleport into the80s ❤

Umberto D is an absolutely fantastic film. What an incredible random selection!!!

Everyone should do the random pick! She chose a good one.

It's great seeing Molly doing more publicity and things like this! She's ageless and sophisticated!

You should get a close up shot for each item they pick.

It's one thing to unhesitatingly raid the closet to this extent, it's another to do so while displaying a sincere love of film and offering this sort of insight. She could have grabbed 20 more and I would have been all for it.

Finally, a celebrity someone remembers, even if it was from almost forty years ago.

love her. She seems like quite a cinefile.

She took more than any one else I’ve ever seen on this show.

ICONIC!

Eric Rohmer, Dumont, great pick 😊 French cinéma

Her picks are my picks😊

Well done Molly, raided the closet.
