So there you have that, a list of 15, but it feels so wrong to leave so many off and I was happy to fit Au Revoir Les Enfants in at the end there but frustrated I never found a place for Luis Bunuel’s Belle de Jour, Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast, Godzilla, The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus or my lone documentary suggestion, Crumb.
There’s also Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low, Brian de Palma’s Blow Out, Fritz Lang’s M, Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train and you can even preorder Whit Stillman’s Metropolitan and The Last Days of Disco. And finally, Mike Leigh’s Topsy-Turvy and Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory.
There are just so many and I love these moves so much, but I now leave the choice to you… hopefully you found this list slightly helpful as the Criterion sale lasts until July 16 so get in there and pick something up and if you have any suggestions be sure and add them in the comments below and to start shopping click here.
