If you need a realy good Christmas present for a really big film buff, I have your item. Feel free to give this to me, for example.




It's the ultimate Criterion Collection! Fifty of the greatest art films of all time accompanied by a hardcover book (which includes an article by Martin Scorsese). The only disappointment is that the disks include only the movies, with no special features of any kind.

The list includes:

  • ALEXANDER NEVSKY (1938), Sergei Eisenstein
  • BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1946), Jean Cocteau
  • BLACK ORPHEUS (1959), Marcel Camus
  • THE 400 (1959), François Truffaut
  • GRAND ILLUSION (1937), Jean Renoir
  • HÄXAN (1922), Benjamin Christensen
  • IKIRU (1952), Akira Kurosawa
  • JULES AND JIM (1962), François Truffaut
  • KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS (1949), Robert Hamer
  • KNIFE IN THE WATER (1962), Roman Polanski
  • THE LADY VANISHES (1938), Alfred Hitch
  • THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (1943), Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
  • LOVES OF A BLONDE (1965), Milos Forman
  • M (1931), Fritz Lang
  • M. HULOT'S HOLIDAY (1953), Jacques Tati
