Help on few Criterion titles...
Call me anal retentive or whatever you may like. I'm a quasi-Criterion completist, specializing only in modern cinema. However, I've made some special exceptions buying 15 pre-70's dvds (e.g. Spartacus, The Third Man, and anything Samurai or Sci-Fi).
I collect nearly all the editions released only on 70's to now, except for a handful I absolutely REFUSE to buy e.g. any with absense of English subtitles and SALO .
I need your help on these titles as I am having trouble deciding whether or not I'd want to buy these.
And these titles are...
Amarcord
Picnic at Hanging Rock
And the Ship sails On
Autumn Sonata
The Magic Flute
Vagabond
Cries and Whispers
Any comments (positive, scathing, neutral or whatever) are welcome! Pretty please?
