In terms of your film studies, which field are you trying to get into? Directing?...Screenwriting?

Hello. Your video appeared in my feed, and I checked it out because I am a great fan of the Criterion Collection. Thank you so much for sharing with us your great collection! Well done. Your enthusiasm for cinema is wonderful. Please keep up the excellent work. Cheers from Tokyo.

Seven Samurai, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Vanishing, The Battle of Algiers, The Killing, 400 Blows, Elevator to the Gallows.

It's a real treat to see you grace our KZread screens again… Welcome home!

Your video popped up in my feed and I clicked on it because I love Criterion. I'd say my favorite one that I own so far is the Lone Wolf and Cub set. I'm building up my Criterion collection and now I have more titles to check out. Great Video! Thanks!

This vid randomly popped up in my recommended page. I love movies. Great video

Wow that is a fantastic collection you have there. I love your wall with all the film poster art on it. Definitely have to check out some of the films you suggested.

Amazing collection

I've been watching TONS of movies cuz of being in film school and I love your recommendations! Still have a few here that I need to watch😎 btw, your passion for film is contagious! Keep up the great work!😀😀

Very good Criterion Collection of your own here. I'm sure it's grown since this video was made. Great job :)

Terrific collection! Just saw Scenes From a Marriage yesterday, It was the TV miniseries version but I loved it so I'll no doubt see the theatrical version too at some point.

Nice to see you back! Great collection of Criterions. Kuroneko is a really good film. Very atmospheric. I go to BAM occasionally. Always interesting film festivals going on there (and the Alamo Drafthouse is just up the street). Thanks for sharing.

Awesome Collection Ally!

Great collection you got there, Ally. 12 Angry Men was my first Criterion title ever, and I purchased it right after my college professor showed it in my small group communications class. After that, I just went crazy with titles such as Boyhood, The Great Dictator, and Seven Samurai. I’m still collecting to this day, especially during last month’s B&N 50% off Criterion sale. Hope to see more of your videos. Keep up the good work. ☺️😉🙏👍

The Third Man 2. Rashomon 3. Diabolique 4. Wages of Fear 5. Picnic at Hanging Rock 6. The Cranes are Flying 7. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul 8. A Face in the Crowd 9. Beauty and the Beast 10. Ikiru

It may be the poster in the background tripping me up, but I swear you look like Rey! Nice collection, too.

"I don't have many..." then proceeds to show us nearly 50 films! I'm a big fan, also. Surprised you didn't break down and get the "Ingmar Bergman's Cinema" box set - 30 Blu-Ray discs with 39 films, more than 30 hours of supplements and a nice book. If you like Japanese films of the '60s, you'd love some of the Seijun Suzuki films - especially "Branded to Kill". "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" is one of my favorites of all time, so, unfortunately, I already had it before Criterion released it (that's happened to me several times - I had "The Decalogue" many years (from Facets) before they released it). You are the only one I know (besides myself) who has "The Emigrants/The New World" in their collection (great minds think alike!). Sorry to drone on and on, but we seem to have the same taste in film. Please keep posting (and us, posted)!

Relatable bc I also struggle to describe the plot sometimes. Great Collection by the way

Cool collection! I just ordered my first criterion blu ray Barry Lyndon

Wow! Incredible collection you have. It's so refreshing to hear from someone so young about their love for films. I have a couple of recommendations. You've probably seen these but if they have slipped through the cracks, you should watch them if you can. As a huge Bergman fan myself I have to recommend FANNY & ALEXANDER. Both versions are incredible. Also HOUR OF THE WOLF. Those 2 I have watched many, many times. If you haven't seen Polanski's third part of his apartment trilogy, THE TENANT, you need to see this. It is coming out in a few weeks on Shout Factory I believe. I love pretty much all of Polanski's films but The Tenant could be my favourite. Getting back to Criterion, I'd highly recommend Lars Von Trier's EUROPA. Beautiful, beautiful, strange film. I love most of his films, not all, but most. I did like Breaking The Waves, but it was just too much and I can't bear to watch it again. Lastly, I'd strongly recommend the films of Whit Stillman. If I had watched the trailer for any of his films, I'm sure I'd never have taken the chance with any of them, but they are fantastic. METROPOLITAN and LAST DAYS OF DISCO I can watch again and again. Great characters, great writing. I'll quit there. I hope I have recommended at least one you haven't seen and it becomes one you love. There's nothing better then discovering a new film. Take care.

Good Stuff. Glad to see a young person that can love movies that were made before 2000

hey just found your channel and i really like the content! was wondering if you had a letterboxd?

'I had to stop buying things for a while' haha I know how that goes! 😊

I love the environment you create

Nice selection. I think you'd like Eyes Without A Face, The Brood, Sisters, and Dressed To Kill. I'm personally a fan of the horror films in the Criterion along with anything by Terry Gilliam, Charlie Chaplin, Brian De Palma, Stanley Kubrick, and pretty much any Japanese cinema. Hara Kiri is probably my all time favorite.

hey, great collection, I am slowly building a criterion section in my dvd library as they can be very expensive, I get so excited when I find one in a goodwill or thrift store, might I suggest a film I recently discovered on criterion called wiseblood with brad douriff, it has become one of my favorite films, very gothic and moody, love your content by the way, your voice is very soothing.

If you like black and white and great visuals you need to look into German films from the 20's. I see you have a Metropolis poster so you might already have done just that. :-)

Great recommendation on CAT PEOPLE (1942)!!!!! Just finished it. I really like the one from 1982, but 1942 is definitely superior. I love most Val Lewton produced movies. They always have an interesting look. I've meant to watch this one for years and your recommendation finally convinced me to take some time to sit down and enjoy it. Thanks!!!!!

Often recommended, but definitely check out House. Also, if you’re interested in exploring John Waters films, Female Trouble is definitely worth your time!

Great criterion collection 👍🏻

Omg your back !!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!

It's not a Criterion disc, but if you love that era of vintage music I highly recommend The T.A.M.I. Show, a concert film, if you haven't seen it yet. Look it up and boggle at the line-up. Great channel. Fun videos.

Elevator to the Gallows; I wanted to check this one out myself (with my curiosity also piqued from the screenshots). Miles Davis playing along with a muted black and white night seemed like the perfect movie to fall asleep to over and over and over again.

Hi Allison. Just watched your video. I think I saw it in lockdown about a year ago but I didn't comment. Nice to see you have a burgeoning collection and I hope you've had a chance to add to it. Just wanted to say that I love some of your picks - The Graduate is one of my favourite films too. So is The Battle of Algiers so I HIGHLY recommend you watch it if you haven't already. You said Altman is one of your favourite directors. I actually prefer Short Cutst to Nashville but you rightly say it's a great movie. You MUST watch McCabe and Mrs Miller, it will add to your appreciation of Altman. Hope you're well and you post a video soon

You need to see (on Criterion or otherwise) Manila: In the Claws of Light, Wanda (1970), The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1974) , The Swimmer (1968), Escape From Cell Block 18, Japón...you will be delighted with all of them...

You seem like the coolest person ever!

you have great taste omfg

Very nice video! More movies than I have, that's for sure! Do you have any social media we can follow you at or do you prefer to stay private?

Two of my favorite Criterion Collection DVDs are Metropolitan and The Last Days of Disco, both written and directed by Whit Stillman. Metropolitan is one of my favorite films of all time. It is so perfectly realized and almost impossible to compare to any other film. When I first saw it, more than 20 years ago, it felt almost like a documentary, because the people and place - New York City debutantes and their escorts during the Christmas break in an unspecified time period - were so foreign to me. There is one character, Tom, who is an outsider, and was the person I strongly related to - we were both redheads and Fourierists at the time - and he becomes friends with Nick, who reminded me very strongly of my cousin. At any rate, the film still amazes me in how perfectly it tells its story. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A few years ago Criterion made a bad batch of Blu-rays that developed a rusty brown color on the shiny side of the disc over time. Google "criterion disc brown stain" takes you to a page that lists all the defective titles (only a few). If you bought any of them, check on them to see they have brown stains.

Scanners. I'm old enough to have watched it on VHS....remember as a teenager trying to freeze frame the head explosion scene on video tape :) Great seeing young people enjoying these films AND physical media!! My current favourite Criterion release is the BluRay of Fanny & Alexander. Has the 3hr theatrical and the 5 hr mini series version.

I love your backdrop

I would recommend anything by Powell and Pressburger. Amazing filmmakers. Films that resonate so deeply with incredible visual style. All of these are (or were, in the case of a couple of them) available on Criterion: "49th Parallel," "The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp," "A Canterbury Tale," "I Know Where I'm Going," "A Matter Of Life and Death," "Black Narcissus," "The Red Shoes," "The Small Back Room" (out of print but excellent), "The Tales Of Hoffmann" (also out of print but a real visual feast) and Powell's solo masterpiece that basically killed his career, "Peeping Tom." Also worth having is "The Thief Of Bagdad," which Powell was one of several directors on.

Excellent collection 😊 I have a ton of Criterion discs as well, including the Criterion laserdiscs. You said you're studying film? Are interested in film studies or production? 😁 I hope you have seen The Virgin Spring by now because it's a devastating masterpiece; I'll never understand why Bergman was so "eh" about it in his book Images.

The Criterions that I DO own I obviously like enough to purchase, so naturally I'd recommend those to you (or anyone): The Fantastic Planet (trippy animation), To Be Or Not To Be (the original B&W version from 1942, not the Mel Brooks remake that I know you already own), and Dekalog ("mini-series" of 10 short films based on the ten commandments).

As a film buff and criterion collector, you have great taste in film and music.

So glad to see you are back. Criterion Editions you might enjoy.... BABETTE'S FEAST (1987) Blu-Ray BLOW-UP (1966) Blu-Ray BRAZIL (1985) Blu-Ray HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) Blu-Ray (For some reason I feel like you have mentioned this one before.) THE INLAWS (1979) Blu-Ray A MAN ESCAPED (1956) Blu-Ray

Simple man. I see The Dazed and Confused poster in the back and know you received it in your criterion Collection. Love that film to death

Max Von Sydow plays Lor San Tekka in Star Wars The Force Awakens. That’s a fascinating character. He was fleshed out a bit more in the Poe Dameron comic. I hope he will be in a Star Wars novel at some point showing his friendship with Leia and a younger Ben Solo.

Did you consider buying the Ingmar Bergman's Cinema boxset?

I’m in love with her :x

Wong Kar-Wai is a MUST. And research the cinematographer Christopher Dyole, who worked with both Wong and Zhang Yimou. Bette Midler in "The rose" is astonishing!

you are gorgeous. great movies !

The Killing is film noir. The classic noir period is 1940-1959. The noir period ended with Odds Against Tomorrow in '59. Anything after that is neo-noir. I'm glad you dig Fire Walk With Me. Not an easy film to stomach.

If you like Polanski's Rosemary's Baby and Repulsion and how they are sort of a slow burn but creepy, try and check out his other film called The Tenant. Very creepy as well. And actually, those three films are regarded as his Apartment trilogy. The Tenant is on DVD. Don't think there is a blu ray of it. His Fearless Vampire Killers is a fun vampire spoof too that I imagine you would like. p.s. I just finished watching all of Festival and its supplements. I just soaked up all of that 1960's atmosphere and all of those performances. A real treat. Be on the look out for a brief perf., by the Osborne Bros. But there is SO much good stuff on Festival! The Blue Ridge Mountain Dancers. Great! And Peter Paul and Mary, when they sing If I Had A Hammer and The Times they Are A-Changin'-just so tight and melodic. Festival is great.

I just bought my first three criterion collection movies today. I got Che, Roma, and Antichrist

Did you pick up any new ones from the Barnes and noble July sale?

Loved your video! You should check out Shoah. Great documentary. Very long but worth every minute.

Seven samurai is one of my 3 favorite films along with Citizen Kane and Pans Labyrinth. If you were to color the film you couldn’t even tell that it was made back in 1954. also these titles are good Le Samourai , Solaris, Blowout, Thief, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and my own private Idaho Though I really don’t like the dialogue to the movie and you will know what I mean when you watch it but the movie shows both Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix best performances.

Thanks! and haha thats wild but goes to show how many there are. Blue Velvet is one of my favorites actually!

Criterion relies on special features as a selling point for its discs. If special features cannot be obtained, Criterion usually won't release the film. That's why you never see a Woody Allen film in the collection, because he is famously against doing any special features for his films. Criterion is a New York company, and Allen is the quintessential New York filmmaker. So it's sad there is no deal between the two. This may seem like a petty issue. But as I said, Criterion relies on special features to stay in business, which is crucial for a small company. But you also can't blame filmmakers for refusing to do special features, which often takes valuable time and effort out of their busy schedules. David Lynch used to be against special features too, but he changed. Otherwise, you wouldn't see his films in the collection either. Criterion is a small company that can't release too many discs. So every one of its discs has to be "special," which usually means it can't be a barebone disc and/or have lousy picture quality. A bigger company like Kino Lorber can afford to release a few sub-par discs (which it has). Kino Lorber probably releases more discs in a week that Criterion does in a month.

Great collection. As a fellow Altman fan, you'll envy me: I have the out of print 2004 Criterion edition of Short Cuts, which included, as part of the package, a book of the Raymond Carver short stories upon which the film is based. Utterly wonderful. The perplexing tale of Criterion's various editions of Short Cuts and their ever- diminishing bonus features is told here: www.criterionforum.org/DVD-review/short-cuts-blu-ray/the-criterion-collection/1648
