7th Seal

Laserdisc: <b>Boyz In The Hood</b>

DVD: <b>Hard-Boiled</b>

Brazil.

"Andrei Rublev"

Not only was it my first Criterion, but it was the reason I bought a DVD player. I was wandering through Tower Records (used to be on Newbury Street, Boston), and saw it. I was like "whaa...?" It was cheap compared to the LDs I'd always considered beyond my means, and promised to be better than my old VHS. I bought it.

A few days later, I bought my first DVD player. A Pioneer DV-414, which is still working liking a champ in the second bedroom system.

Hard Boiled.

That's my first Criterion too! Bought it on 2001, however.

Hard Boiled

Brazil. Also my first DVD.

The Seven Samurai

The tougher question for me would be remembering the 2nd, 3rd, and so on. I do remember the 1st though :)

Kwaidan

Robocop. It's also my only one.

Yojimbo and Sanjuro

Royal Tenebaums
(An exBB. I didn't realize it until much later.)
Austin

I bought Brazil over four years ago.

My very first Criterion is Blade Runner on laserdisc.

The first on DVD I believe is Seven Samurai.

Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs

Solaris

Brazil

Sid & Nancy
Tokyo Drifter

Chasing Amy.

Dead Ringers that I bought while still in print some time ago.

Seven Samurai was my first and only Criterion.

I think it was Brazil.

The Rock

The Royal Tenenbaums

Hard Boiled

My first Criterion was Silence Of The Lambs which I purchased on 12/12/99. I think I remember also getting Brazil at the same time but ended up selling it later because I didn't like the movie. I got both DVDs during the Reel coupons and Brandsforless rebate days.

Silence of the Lambs. I got it when I first started collecting and before I even knew what Criterion was.

first was "Armaggedon"...though i didn't know it was Criterion or even what Criterion meant at the time (not that it really means anything)...this was before i began taking collecting somewhat seriously.

Fiend Without a Face, IIRC.

Traffic

Brazil

Black Narcissus

Bought before I had a player because it is my favorite movie. Paid $39.99 at Tower Records (before I knew a thing about on-line discounters). Still worth every penny.

Chasing Amy

8 1/2, and it was last week. I'm a poor student who only recently got into collecting, but I've seen/rented alot of Criterions. :)

Robocop

I thinks it was 'Grand Illusion', but it's been a long time.

Put me down for "The Silence of the Lambs" as my first Criterion.
