Other Crap

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.
