Two years ago Charles and I began doing annual Criterion Collection Movie Days, with the option reserved to expand it to a biannual deal. We tried that this year, having a spring Criterion Day in April bracketed by autumn Criterion Days in Septembers 2012 and, now, 2013. Is twice a year too much? Find out on September 28 for the fourth total, third annual, and second biannual Criterion Collection Movie Day!

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, September 28 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.
