I am buying EVERY single Criterion from here on out
Ok, I'll probably get flamed for this but its ok I'm ready for it. I plan on buying every Criterion that's released after Videodrome. I do hope someday that I will own the entire collection and this is really the best way to start. I know what you're saying 'just buy what you like' Yes, yes I think I've reached that point already. I already own 500 other non-Criterion movies aside from a few releases here and there I pretty much own everything I've already seen that I want to own. I want to own the complete criterion collection. I know pretty much no one else has this ridiculous goal or is willing to admit it but I am. What's your opinion? Nuts?

I believe there are a few people here that own the entire set. Good to have a goal i suppose...start with the cheap ones and get a bulk then buy the expensive one's when you find a deal.

Way back in the summer of 2000 I had this great idea to buy then entire Criterion Collection. That was back when there was only about 100 or so. I ended up getting about 75 and realizing it was a goal not worth completing. I ended up spending $225 on a sealed copy of Salo.

I have a friend who had this goal and got about halfway there before ebaying the whole thing in one big lump for a CHEAP price a few months ago. He needed the money.

you know, there are always new things coming out... new things announced... so why criterion - its the last refuge of the pretentious film fan... terrrible in a way... just be patient and buy what you want when it comes out : dont plan so rigidly!

I collect InfiniFilm Its much easier...some crap movies though
I would also like to own every CC disc, but just as a collector...many of the movies, I have no particular interest in

I currently own 70 Criterions, and they are all movies that I care about. There are probably another 70 or so that I want.
Then there are those I don't like. So guess what? I won't buy 'em.
Makes sense to me.

DVDPlanet is selling CC at 35% off. Eevn with the special sales at DDD, they can still be the cheapest.
The problem with CC is that many of the titles are so offbeat that they appeal only to a few movie watchers. Even I don't want all of them.
