Criterion and DVD-9 (1 Viewer)

Anyone know the first Criterion Dual layer disc?

Not personally, but I hear he's a nice bloke.

Sorry, I'm in a facetious mood this morning.

 

[Duncan Harvey]

presumably Silence Of The Lambs - as I'm sure (along with Spinal Tap which was a DVD 10) that this was the first Criterion disc to actually be released.

I think that Criterion has done DVD-9 since it has done DVD.

 

[Charlie O.]

Man Bites Dogs is DVD5

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was not the first Criterion DVD. I'm not entirely sure of what the very first Criterion DVD was, but I know that John Woo's THE KILLER was in the first batch of Criterion DVDs, and that was some time before the release of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. I think THE KILLER was a DVD-5, too.

Wasn't the very first Criterion DVD The 400 Blows?

Grand Illusion may be numbered #001 but it didn't come out first....it was delayed a few times, IIRC.

 

[Damin J Toell]

Yup. Although #1, it was released over a year after #2, Seven Samurai.
