What was your 1st Criterion

Seeing as we have the "how many do you have" thread, I thought it's be fun to see what your first one was and when you got it.

Mine:

Carnival of Souls, got it in '00.

Life of Brian was my first. I was a big Python nut back in 2000, and it was the only special edition around.

Wow, that is a complete blast from the past. I can't remember the first one because it was too long ago, but I know some of the first Criterions I bought were The Killer, Seven Samurai and Amarcord and The Seventh Seal.

My first Criterion DVD was Armageddon

My first was The Rock. Nice story behind it too, it was my first DVD lot that I got on Ebay, a 40 DVD lot where the average broke out to be only $4 a piece. Of the titles, 34 were great ones that I have kept and the other 6 I have simce sold and for better than the $4 a piece. The Rock was just listed and there was no picture hence I had no idea it was the Criterion version, yet alone at the time(about 16 months ago when I got my first DVD player) I had no idea what the Criterion Collection was. Quite a find and in mint condition like the rest of the lot.

This is Spinal Tap. Didn't even know what the Criterion Collection was. Shows the importance of having some more mainstream films in the collection.

The Passion of Joan of Arc. I only wanted a DVD player for Star Wars and Star Trek, thank goodness for DVD forums opening my eyes.

Still don't have a lot of them, and I've only ever sold off one (Fishing With John, just too damned weird, probably should have given it another shot)
