Ingmar Bergman's "Cries and Whispers"

Salo

Robocop

LD: 2001: A Space Odyssey

DVD: Seven Samurai -- 1st edition, Spring of '98. Still my favorite disc.

i believe it was seven samurai

Chasing Amy

The 39 Steps
The Lady Vanishes

Sid and Nancy

Chasing Amy for me as well.

It is also my only Criterion.

I just recalled today, it was "Life of Brian", one of the reasons I bought a DVD player, as it was and is one of my favorite films. Followed by "Brazil" on the discount rack and "Seven Samurai". Now I've lost count.

1. The Killer
2. Hard Boiled
3. Seven Samurai

Hard Boiled

Peeping Tom

Silence of the Lambs!

I bought Notorious and 8 1/2 together.

This Is Spinal Tap

For All Mankind

The Vanishing.

I believe my first ever was the Kurosawa four pack, followed by Rushmore, and then Chasing Amy. My most recent was By Brahkage. Not liking it too well, but for free, you can't complain.

Monty Python's Life of Brian

I would have bet the farm it was Seven Samurai.

Good thing I don't have a farm to bet, because I just checked my DVD Profiler and saw that it was Chasing Amy. SS was second.

Chasing Amy, the day it came out. Oddly enough, the next Criterion I'd purchased was quite a ways away.

The Royal Tenenbaums was my first Region 1 Criterion.
