Welcome!
The Criterion Collection is a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films.
Here we discuss news, rumors and films of the Criterion Collection, including the Eclipse and Essential Art House series.
About
The Criterion "Collection" is a company with over 1000+ amazing films. On every 15th of the month, a handful of newly restored titles are added to the collection with custom cover art and exclusive supplements.
For every new title added to the collection, a new spine number is granted. Films that are already in the collection in DVD are routinely considered for Blu-ray upgrades, which also provide revamped artwork and supplements.
We understand how overwhelming a company with so many titles can be! Explore Criterion's celebrity top 10 lists and lists of themes to find a starting point that interests you!
