Directors The Criterion Collection on DVD Draft (1 Viewer)

[Simon_Lepine]

My pick:



I may be bending the rules a little bit since 400 Blows was available separately? If someone has a problem with that I'll pick The 400 Blows alone and not the Box ..

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Good lord, Lew's setting himself up for a loss.



Just kidding. Didn't expect anyone to pick Salo, let alone be a first choice.....

 

[Nick Sievers]

Well, at least he picked Grand Illusion.

 

[Lew Crippen]

Good lord, Lew's setting himself up for a loss.

Dome, I’m already several hundred dollars to the good. My play is to put this baby up on ebay and walk away with a whole slew of Criterions with the proceeds.

Either that or I take my wife out for a very fine meal at the Mansion (Nick for you that would be Rockpool or Tetsuya’s—Dome for you—forget it, there is no place in Kentucky that meets the standard. )

Besides I've never made it out of the first round on the voting after a draft. On one draft I lost to Steve who makes my picks seem mainstream.

 

[Lew Crippen]

The very best of all of Hitchcock on Criterion:

Notorious

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Either that or I take my wife out for a very fine meal at the Mansion (Nick for you that would be Rockpool or Tetsuya’s—Dome for you—forget it, there is no place in Kentucky that meets the standard.

I thought Morton's or Vincenzo's was pretty good.

 

[Cary T]

If someone has a problem with that I'll pick The 400 Blows alone and not the Box

I'm going by how the collection was sold, so no problems here.

Up Next:
Steve
Martin
Brook (2x)

 

[SteveGon]

My next pick:



The Ruling Class

 

[MartinTeller]

I knew nothing about this guy until I read Robert Harris' rave review of this DVD here on the HTF. I did something I rarely do anymore, and purchased it blind. I haven't regretted it for an instant. It is one of my favorite DVDs.



Here's hoping for a Volume 2!

 

[MartinTeller]

Brook (x2) is up

 

[MartinTeller]

I guess it's my turn again.

What are we stopping for? Oh, it's a whole flock of detectives.

 

[Brook K]

Andrei Rublev
Contempt

 

[Lew Crippen]

Steve, then me.

This draft is moving along nicely.

 

[SteveGon]

Guess I'd better snag a Kurosawa while I can:



The Hidden Fortress

 

[Lew Crippen]

And I’d better pick up a Buñuel before Brook gets another couple of picks;

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie


Simon you’re up. Then Scott and Nick.

 

[Simon_Lepine]

Everyone has nice picks so far, was gonna take Andrei Rublev next.

My next pick:

 

[Scott Weinberg]

 

[Nick Sievers]

Damn, I was really hoping to snag The Seventh Seal. Oh well i'll go with one of my all-time favorite comedies:-

 

[Simon_Lepine]

Well Nick, I almost took Life of Brian last round, I was hoping it would come back to me

 

[Cary T]

Better grab this Bergman film while it's still available.

Wild Strawberries

and

L'Avventura
