Please recommend me a Criterion

http://dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&id=earlf

There's my list.

I was in favor of something like Eyes Without a Face or Ikiru. Any other good thrillers or just a GOOD movie that I can rewatch with the girlfriend over and over again without getting tired of it? [yeah I know Ikiru isn't a thriller but I've been wanting that dvd for so long]

Also, what Criterion has production stills or a thick book that comes with the dvd that has great imagery. I'm majoring in Graphic Design and I was thinking of doing my Magazine Spreads on a certain Criterion movie.

Thanks in advance.

Track down a copy of Spellbound. It's easily my favorite, especially with all the additional info on Salvadore Dali's "dream sequence".

Le Cercle Rouge

It's a great Jewel Heist caper, similar to Rififi. It comes in a nice 2 disc Criterion Collection set.

Since you already have Chungking Express and 2046 in your collection, you could start with In the Mood For Love.

Other than that, since you like japanese movies, both Kagemusha and Ran are masterpieces you won't regret. Kagumusha includes in the booklet graphic arts that Kurosawa made for storyboarding.

Edit: Oups! You already have ITMFL
