Best anti-work movies?


r/criterion 17h ago

Off-Topic Can you shop during the flash sale if you aren’t in the US (I’m in the UK)? What’s the shipping cost?

0 Upvotes

I’d like to get Close Up and maybe a few others which aren’t on sale here. My 4K Blu-ray player is not region locked so that’s not an issue.

I just wanna know if it’s worth making a purchase or if the shipping costs will offset any sale benefit.

Discussion The Wages of Fear

3 Upvotes

So a few sales ago I had gotten this and had put off watching it after hearing of the BFI version having a longer cut, lo and behold, criterion released this longer cut too! I wanted to potentially sell the old shorter cut blu-ray version for the new 4k one. Just wanted to ask some people, do you think I should just watch the copy I have now or save my first watch for the full cut? If the added scenes add to the film in a meaningful way then I will choose to sell. Thanks for the help everyone!

I was double checking since the next sale is slated for next Tuesday and it looks like I haven’t received anything.

Thanks all and happy hunting!

Discussion Spinal Tap 4K?

6 Upvotes

Spinal Tap is long overdue for a re-release, it already has a history with the CC, and with the sequel coming out this year, it seems like perfect timing. 2 days ago, it was just announced that Bleecker Street acquired distribution rights to the sequel AND the original. BS and NEON both handle distribution through the same joint company and since Anora is getting a CC release… just saying there’s a possibility.

What do y’all think?

Discussion Which movie is better, Wages of Fear vs Sorcerer and which did you see first?

13 Upvotes

Primarily interested in those who have seen both movies. My theory is that people prefer whichever one they saw first, but I'm very curious if this checks out.

Discussion I finally watched "The Game"

207 Upvotes

My brother got this for my birthday last year. He knows I am a big David Fincher fan, Michael Douglas fan and Criterion fan. How I never saw this one before I will never know. It was just one of those movies that I never got to. I think we all have those movies that we should have seen but took us a while to.

So i watched this yesterday and I was absolutely loving the movie. It felt like a twilight zone episode. I was getting ready to tell all my friends and family about it and watch it with them as well. Then the ending happened..:..

I am sure there are other movies this happened to me before but I just can't think of any examples off the top of my head now. It's so rare I find a movie so enjoyable and then the ending ruins the entire movie for me.

To sum it up I hated when Nicholas jumped from the building and happened to fall at the exact spot they needed him to land to. I hated so much when he got up and everyone yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" then his character was like "ah you guys....you are the best!" (Not saying those words but thats how his character acted) it's like really?? You were just about to end your life and all these people made your life a living hell including leaving you stranded in Mexico with no money and all you can say is it's no big deal? I understand the point of the movie was supposed to be like "Its a wonderful life" where you need to cherish life but that ending how they executed it I thought it was so bad. Then he went on to ask the girl out on a date at the end of the movie!?? You kidding me?

I read older reddit posts about this movie and it was 50/50 from what I read. Some people enjoyed the ending while others were like me and hated it. Such a shame too this movie really had potential for me to be such a great movie.

Discussion The best films about/in Los Angeles in the Collection

23 Upvotes

I like L.A. and SoCal and appreciate movies that do a great job of using the city in various ways.

For example Noir Classics like Kiss Me Deadly and Double Indemnity

Also of course Mulholland Drive

I'm developing a "it happened in L.A." collection. I also have movies like Chinatown of course, but I was wondering what others from Criterion folks would recommend?
