This is all well and good, but where's "Wild Strawberries"? I ask you. "Scenes From a Marriage," "Seven Samurai," "Yojimbo"...

Man, this is great. I've been working through all the Criterion's that I need to see (last one watched was Wages Of Fear, today it'll be A Band Of Outsiders) because they have most of them in my uni video library, so I'll definitely be checking these out. The Vanishing sounds like a must see. God I love Criterion...

Without looking, I know Lee likes Pierrot Le Fou. Lemme look.. EDIT: Fuck, it's not on there!

I didn't know Fat Girl was on Criterion. Since when? Um, anyway, Lee is free.

I have over 20 Godards and Pierrot is my fav.

Oh wait, this thread is not about me.

Damn, some of those choices are favs for me though, and the others I want to explore.....cus SNY likes 'em.

I'd like to offer a correction (without seeming rude) to KG. It was Nestor Alemendros who shot Days of Heaven. Haskel Wexler did Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, Bound for Glory...

The only ones I'm familiar with are Night on Earth and Ace in the Hole. Didn't really like Night on Earth, but I fucking love Ace in the Hole. I always tell myself to watch some Godard, never get around to it though.

I've only seen two of their picks... A few weeks ago I picked up a 12-DVD Godard box set for cheap, but I've yet to make my way through all that. I don't think Masculin Feminin is on there though.

I liked it, but because I had read the novel before I already knew how it was going to end. It's really one of those films that works best if you don't know anything about what's coming.
Just make sure you avoid the Hollywood remake by the same director, because he made some unforgivable changes to the story in that one.

Thurston also mentions Dark Blood, but that can't be found because it was never finished due to River Phoenix' death before shooting had ended.

Can you point me to this 12-dVD Godard set online?

I saw a 49-DVD one for like $50 (!) but half the movies weren't English-subtitled, and almost all were in some weird ass region.

49 DVDs for $50??? That sounds like some Chinese bootleg... mine was nowhere near that cheap.

I have this one:
 


A Bout du Souffle
Une Femme est Une Femme
Le Mépris
Pierrot le Fou
Le Petit Soldat
Made in U.S.A.
Alphaville
Prénom Carmen
Le Détective
Passion
Hélas pour moi
Godard Encore (bonus disc with interviews/documentaries etc on Godard)


I paid 20 euros which is really cheap for Dutch standards... but the exchange rate to $$$ isn't going to help you much I'm affraid.

All discs are PAL, region 2 and 4 (both regions for all discs) and include English subtitles. When I searched for the product code I only found Dutch and Belgian sites carrying it, so I reckon it wasn't released outside these countries... yet all discs are also suitable for region 4 and have subtitles in 7 or 8 different languages.


If any Dutch/Belgian boardies are interested, bol.com sells them for €25, which isn't bad either:

I've seen a few of Lee's choices. Ali: angst essen Seele auf/fear eats the soul by Fassbinder is a really good film. Ozu's films are great as well. The Vanishing is really messed, but great.
thanks for posting this Jenn.
