Nope. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Royal Tennebaums, Life Aquatic, Chasing Amy and Brazil. From there, I'd even stretch it a bit to films they no longer own (or can produce...not sure what the term is) like Armageddon, Silence of the Lambs, Robocop.... Yeah, that's it.
I worked at Hollywood Video (well, the game side) for a few years and for some odd reason we had a pretty decent collection of Criterion DVDs (maybe 50-60) and I would often take one of them home with whatever the flavor of the week DVD release was. I'm no stranger to Criterion, their films just don't wow me. And yes, I would always check to see who would rent out the Criterion DVDs...and it wasn't many...at all. That's why I was amazed that we actually had a pretty big selection of titles.
