In the spirit of superfuture consumerism let's turn this thread into a list of which titles you have.

My current Criterions:

Living in the UK, I tend to buy more R2 than R1 discs so I own around the same amount of non-Criterion versions of films from the Criterion collection: Andrei Rublev, Band of Outsiders, Contempt, Jules et Jim, In the Mood for Love, Ordet, Ratcatcher, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Walkabout, Silence of the Lambs, Onibaba and Woman of the Dunes. In some cases, where I've at one time owned both, I’d even say that the non-Criterion releases were better than the Criterions (for example, the Tartan SE version of In The Mood For Love and the Eureka MoC version of Onibaba). It's just a shame that none of the AEye/BFI/Plathe/MoC DVDs come with cool postcards :(

THREE WOMEN

TESHIGAHARA BOX SET

FANNY AND ALEXANDER

these are the best i've seen lately

I really like the TV version, didn’t enjoy the film as much. Which did you see?

I'm going to slowly clear them out of their whole Criterion Collection stock, it's not like anybody ever rents them besides me.

Incunabula, God bless you for your Ozu collection. Eclipse (Criterion's "budget line") has a box set of five Ozu movies; they're not as good as the three released by Criterion proper, but they're still incredible.

The last two Criterion films I picked up were Days of Heaven and Berlin Alexanderplatz.

I would have to go through my collection to see what's my favorite, but off the top of my head I love In the Mood for Love and Yi Yi the most.
