We've held two Criterion Collection Movie Days in the autumn of 2011 and 2012. Charles and I considered making it a bi-annual affair, occuring every six months. That fell through in '12, but this year we're planning a spring edition and are hell-bent on making it happen.

The Criterion Collection is, in their words, "dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions of the highest technical quality, with supplemental features that enhance the appreciation of the art of film." The point being that the titles they put out, though often times obscure or esoteric, more often than not tend to be excellent and essential films that rarely ever disappoint. Criterion aims for quality in presentation and charge every cent for it.

This is the plan for Saturday, April 20 starting at 3:00 PM.


If you have any Criterion releases to bring, bring them all. Don't worry about whether or not we've ever watched them before.

Includes all titles from the Criterion Collection, plus all Eclipse, Essential Art House, and Janus Films releases.
