A great month ahead in September!... these would be my particular favorites:
Bisbee '17, Robert Greene, 2018
Boyhood, Richard Linklater, 2014
Defending Your Life, Albert Brooks, 1991
The Heiress, William Wyler, 1949
Nocturama, Bertrand Bonello, 2016
Sátántangó, Béla Tarr, 1994
Streetwise, Martin Bell, 1984
The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola, 1999

Also, I must highly recommend The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith which is up now as part of the Australian New Wave lineup. It's an extremely potent and increasingly upsetting anti-Western that goes a long way towards exposing the country's legacy of racism.

Some decent horror offerings but nothing that hasn't really been available in other places. Not enough here for me to renew my sub that expired in April unfortunately.

Definitely looking forward to Park's films next month. I'm still shook from Oldboy, having caught it a few weeks back.

I decided to check out the Albert Brooks set. Outside of the blockbusters, 80s films are a blind spot for me, being a 90s lad.

Lost in America seemed like a nice entry point, and I ended up enjoying the film quite a bit. I wouldn't say it was a laugh riot, the sharp writing and cast kept me entertained throughout.

I'll most likely check out his later two films. Modern Romance and Real Life seems like they might be too dated.

I like Lost in America. I had seen it before, though. I watched Real Life and was surprised by how much I was indifferent on it. The film feels kind of flat to me, I don't know. Seems like it's trying too hard to be funny. Which I found to be the opposite with Lost in America.

Just a week ago i realized Albert Brooks' Defending Your Life is the movie I saw one or two scenes of when I was a kid and it stuck with me for no real reason, but I could never figure out what movie it was.

So now I gotta watch it, but thanks for lifting that multi year burden Criterion!

finally caught The Loveless. Been very interested in catching it, as both Willem Dafoe and Kathryn Bigelow are two of my favorite people in the industry.

It sure is an interesting piece, considering both of them would later become masters of their craft (Strange Days is one of the all time greatest films god damn it), but it did not fully click with me. It felt more like a slice-of-life tone piece than a film, and considering it was only co-directed by Kathryn, I'm not sure how much of it was "her" film any way.

Not great but not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

God damn though, this month is stacked. Not only that, but some great films are leaving this month. I will be watching Virgin Suicides ASAP.

Really exciting it looks like they are going to be streaming the new Maddin films, which I don't think are available elsewhere.

Lots of good stuff this month. Anyone see the Pontecorvo/Brando film Burn? I don't think I've seen it available for streaming before now. Shame that it isn't the longer version, but at least this cut retains Brando's voice.

I tried watching it before it expired on Criterion Channel last year before but it was only streaming in standard definition, with a possibly iffy transfer so I picked something else instead.

Which reminds me that the same thing happened with 2046 on Amazon Prime so hopefully Criterion will get the restoration soon in HD.

Another stacked month. I won't make the mistake of missing "To Sleep with Anger" again.

If anything, one might say Criterion adds too many films a month lol. I can't keep up!

The English language version is still good and powerful in parts, but the passion and anti-imperialist themes come through much more potently in the Italian director's cut, IMO. It's obvious the American distributor was uncomfortable with Pontecorvo's clear sympathies with the black revolutionaries. The Italian version is almost certainly his second greatest work, after The Battle of Algiers. (Due to political pressures, the director was forced in this film to use Portugal and the U.K. as analogues for Spain and the U.S., respectively.)

Fwiw, the director's cut is currently up in full on YouTube in a 1080p transfer with English subtitles, under its original title Queimada.

Those von Sternberg/Dietrich movies were on the channel for shorter than I assumed. I'll have to make them a priority. I watched Blonde Venus over the weekend and I think its reputation as a lesser Dietrich role is misapplied.

Hard Eight is so god damn good. I would have never known of this film if not for Criterion.

I really need to catch more of PTA's work. Aside from this film, I've only seen The Master which is excellent.

oh man, if you thought those two were good...

Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood are all basically masterpieces, and Phantom Thread sits right outside of them.

Thanks for the recommendations! His films have been on my watch list forever, and I really need to stop slacking off

Punch Drunk Love is another one of his on my list, as I understand it is one of those "every ten years or so" knockout performances from Sandler

I've settled into a nice habit where around the 25th of each month I try to watch as many movies as I can before they expire from the channel.

Really enjoyed House of Games, thought McCabe & Mrs. Miller was decent and am starting in on the Gambler now.

Find having some urgency helps compel me to watch a bunch of great films, though I should probably just cancel every other streaming service so I can focus on the Criterion Channel.

I've settled into a nice habit where around the 25th of each month I try to watch as many movies as I can before they expire from the channel.

Really enjoyed House of Games, thought McCabe & Mrs. Miller was decent and am starting in on the Gambler now.

Find having some urgency helps compel me to watch a bunch of great films, though I should probably just cancel every other streaming service so I can focus on the Criterion Channel.
Same here. The Leaving Soon list certainly helps with choice paralysis.

The Gambler seemed like it'd be cool but it didn't click with me at all. For some reason, I find myself zoning out halfway through most American films from the 60s-80s.

There's too many goddamn movies tbh.

Also, I watched Ice over the weekend. A little hard to recommend as it's slow and clearly very cheaply made. But it feels like one of the only movies I've seen with truly revolutionary politics, which is refreshing.

While I don't have this channel, I keep forgetting so many criterion collection films are on hbo max. Too many great movie.

Seems like this is the month they replace the old WKW restorations with his Lucas-esque revisions 😔

At least we get Days of Being Wild

Out of that list of July films, Belladonna of Sadness is a trip, and A Town Called Panic is hilarious for anyone who hasn't seen them.
