Paris texas criterion blu ray Videos

I always regret posting my views but in this case, I'll try again. For me this is easily one of my top five favorite films. I first rented it in the early 80's, then rented it again, and again until I finally purchased not one but several copies to give to individuals I thought might find it of interest. I currently own one VHS and two previously released DVD versions, and recently purchased the Criterion regular DVD which I have not taken the time to view. I am in total agreement that the later "Ripley's Game" was a throw-a-way, whether compared to this film or any other. I love the mood, cadence, and desperation this particular film evokes. Just outstanding, all the way around. I fail to see how any one interested in cinema could dismiss this project. I never have found myself saying, that could never happen, with the exception of the planted medical records in Paris, in any situation in this story. Other than that 5-Stars. If you liked "The French Connection", you'll probably like this, if you're patient. The grit is tenable, and for its day, refreshing.

So you have some of the best films ever made, in the best quality possible and you haven't watched even half of it? That is ridiculous man..

Nice picks, I also got It Happened One Night, as well as La Haine, Red River, Inside Llewyn Davis, Breaker Morant, and Valarie and Her Week of Wonders. I have the Eddie Coyle criterion Dvd but that blu ray looks cool so I might have to upgrade. As far a new Hollywood, there are too many to talk about all at once, but the one I always see listed as an early example along with Bonny and Clyde and Easy Rider is The Graduate, which is one of my favorite films and coming to Criterion soon.

awsome, enjoy them.

Next time do it, one by one, showing the BR cover, please!! :) that would be better. GOOD Collection!!

But the dirt and scratches give the film character. I shot a 16 mm silent film on reversal B&W and edited it in my barn just so I could get dirt on the film. I am about to shoot 35 mm B&W film in an original hand-cranked camera and I want the dirt and scratches. I don't want someone 100 years from now taking the dirt off my film.
