Life of Brian for me.

I can probably recite each and every Criterion I owned, and name the month (and year, of course) when each was purchased. Life of Brian was September 2001.

The Passion of Joan of Arc -- The very first disc I ever bought and one of the primary reasons why I converted from VHS to DVD.

Chasing Amy again... more as a Kevin Smith fan than a DVD fan. But it really opened my eyes to the versatility of DVD, not just Criterion.

Silence of the Lambs for me, which was the 3rd DVD I purchased (after pre-ordering the Army of Darkness 2-disc set and ordering the A Nightmare on Elm Street box). I think I ordered it from reel.com, but I'm not sure.

Do Criterion laserdiscs count?

That is going back many years. First one I bought full retail was Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Silence of the Lambs - one of my first DVD's even. I had never watched the film, didn't know what a Criterion was and the list goes on and on...

Bought the movie, loved it and found out about two months later that they was no longer makin' them - and I had no idea why.

Hard Boiled. And a few days later I got This Is Spinal Tap. Good thing too since both DVDs were OOP a few months later.

I bought three at the same time:

Grand Illusion (Renoir/1937)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer/1928)
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Kaufman/1988)

My count currently stands at 100 (with 10 on order, and 9 on my Wish List).

1st: Robocop
2nd: Chasing Amy

The only two Criterions in my collection

I remember wanting Robocop CC because of the uncut version, but the Best Buy i worked at only ever got 1 at a time in. I also remember saving a good $10 on it with employee discount...which is odd for a DVD that was only $35.

Anyway, who cares?! Just watch your DVDs!

My first Criterion was Rushmore. Eventhough I paid something like $32 for it back in the day, it was worth it.
