Criterion Collection:What more should I try to find?
Well I pose the question because I am lovin all the great titles I have gotten the last few days.

Rebecca - The Criterion Collection (1940)
Stray Dog - The Criterion Collection (1949)
Rashomon - The Criterion Collection (1950)
Ikiru - The Criterion Collection (1952)
Throne of Blood - The Criterion Collection (1957)
Seventh Seal, The - The Criterion Collection (1957)

Leopard, The - The Criterion Collection (1963)
Red Beard - The Criterion Collection (1965)
Kagemusha (180 Minute Director's Cut) - The Criterion Collection (1980)
And I am asking my fellow DvdTalker what Criterion Collection Titles You think I should look for in the next few weeks and the months ahead?

Ace in the Hole - The Criterion Collection (1951)
Lower Depths: Two Films, The - The Criterion Collection
- Lower Depths, The ( Donzoko ) (1957)
- Lower Depths, The ( Bas-fonds, Les ) (1936)
Seven Samurai - The Criterion Collection (Remastered Reissue) (1954)
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs - The Criterion Collection (1960)
High and Low - The Criterion Collection (1963)
Fanny & Alexander - The Criterion Collection (1982)
- 312 Minute Television Version
- 188 Minute Theatrical Version
Ran - The Criterion Collection (1985)
Brazil - The Criterion Collection (Remastered Reissue) (1985)

Armageddon
The Rock
Chasing Amy
. . .
Just kidding.
I like all the titles you mentioned, but I’d recommend Ace in the Hole first and foremost of those. It’s one of my top five favorite American movies.

Do you have any interest in Robert Altman? The Short Cuts CC is one of my favorites, an incredible special edition that even includes a book of the source material that inspired the film, as well as the generous extras on the bonus disc.

The Man Who Fell to Earth also had the book along with the disc. Also, the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas disc is worth the cash. Tons of extras along with a good movie. Fantastic.

I would drop Kurosawa's High and Low out from the list because the current treatment is appalling. Anyway, why don't you provide us a link to your collection?

Samurai cinema...heck, why limit it at that...cinema in its entirety doesn't get any better than Director Masaki Kobayashi's:
Harakiri
Samurai Rebellion (this one available individually or as part of the Rebel Samurai boxset)
Based on the list of Kurosawa films that you enjoyed, the above two would seem very logical selections.

The only Altman film I enjoy is McCabe & Mrs. Miller. A wonderful anti-western with a haunting soundtrack and beautiful cinematography that moves me in emotional ways that few films do.

Ran - The Criterion Collection (1985)
Brazil - The Criterion Collection (Remastered Reissue) (1985)
Seven Samurai - The Criterion Collection (Remastered Reissue) (1954)
Those three are all worth it. I don't own Brazil, I borrowed it from a friend and it is an awesome set. The other two are great additions to any collection.
Additionally, Playtime is also worth a look. Great movie with solid extras...can't beat that right?

Sword of Doom is an awesome samurai flick. Was very surprised with that one.
Army of Shadows is great as is Melville's Le Samurai. Hell, make it a triple melville night and also see Le Cercle Rouge.

cranberries fan, I note that the list you provided of Criterion Collection titles at the beginning of this tread is vastly more (1) international and (2) classic (in the sense of time not necessary quality) in composition than your collection as a whole. I commend your efforts to expand your tastes this way. My three favorite Criterion Collection releases would satisfy both of these criteria: Passion of Joan of Arc, Bicycle Thieves and the Carl Th. Dreyer box set.

If you're limited to selections that you can buy at a brick and mortar store, for whatever reason, you can obtain these titles by going to BN or Borders and placing a special order at their service desk.

You'll find the titles much cheaper online (DVDPlanet, e.g.), but yeah you can order any in-print Criterion Collection DVD at a BN service desk or at the DVD sales counter with in-store pickup or home delivery.
