My Criterion Collection Laserdiscs - Part 1 - A thru L

Published 2024-07-12
I've been buying and watching Laserdiscs since the late 1980's. I currently own (and have watched) 86 Criterion Collection Laserdiscs. In Part 1, I show my Criterion Collection movies starting with letter A thru letter L.

    Those are beautiful objects indeed and so many of my favourite films, including the black and white ones. Really nice to see them, looking forward to part 2.

    I just bought Bound on Criterion. I still remember seeing Lord Of The Flies at the drive-in with my parents when I was a kid. It scared the shit out of me. Great movie. I'm waiting for a Criterion edition of Human Centipede.....a cinematic masterpiece šŸ˜‚.
  • Hi Alan - as I mentioned previously I am not a movie person at all, although I have a great collection of rock DVD's and music Blu Rays. That said - those laser discs look amazing, like the CD box sets so beautifully put together. Cya

    Amazing collection. I have a smattering of Criterions. Mon Oncle, La Strada, Citizen Cane, Annie Hall and the two first Python movies. I think thatā€™s it on Criterion LD.

    Love Criterion. I've bought many DVD/BLU-RAY discs. And yes, I do buy them when they are 50% off at B&N. I also get email from Criterion when they have a "flash" 50% off also. Unfortunately, the quick 50% off from Criterion is a 24-hr deadline. If you don't check your email, you miss the sale. Sometimes I get email for a 30% off from Criterion. Of course, I check what is available, don't buy just for the sake of buying, even at 50% sale. Do you have a copy of "Fiend Without a Face"? A B SIFI movie. Now no one will ever call that movie a classic, but Criterion did release it on DVD, so someone at Criterion must have enjoyed the movie enough to release it.

    Pretty sure Criterion did LD's of A Hard Day's Night and Help, but I could be wrong. You have Criterions that feature Simon and Garfunkel music (Graduate), and two with solo acting performances (Annie Hall/Carnal Knowledge), LOL.

    It's nice to see people who are this passionate about movies. This is a quality collection, Alan. One question, though--do you have like 20 or 30 laserdisc players? Or do you know how to fix them? What do you do if one breaks?

    enjoy the work criterion puts into their releases. have a handful on dvd. never got into laser discs. i was never too stuck on visual etc. as long as i could see it i was fine. cant think of Alphaville without hearing that deep voice saying ā€œalpha-villeā€¦..ā€ there was a really nice VHS set for Citizen Kane that was released back then that included the script etc. When they started releasing some VHS letterboxed i was working in a video store and people would rent a movie and call up asking what was wrong with the tape half picture was missing. ive never seen lawrence of arabia but its playing in theaters this august which is way i wanted to see it so looking forward to that. nice collection dude. so whats your game plan for getting through everything? do you watch the movie and then dive right into bonus stuff or do watch the bonus stuff over course of few days?

    Hopefully, your LD player doesn't break down anytime soon...šŸ¤ž
