I don’t buy a ton of Criterion titles really, but some of my favorites I own simply for the films include:
Dazed and Confused
The Elephant Man
Godzilla
Paris, Texas

I bought a bunch on DVD but only bought Godzilla and Defending Your Life on blu-ray.
So I love both for different reasons. Simple as that.

Terry Gilliam's Brazil is my second favorite film of all time so that is my choice.

Once I crack into Bruce Lee set, that may contend for tops. Action is my genre and Lee is epitome. I haven’t even seen 2 movies in America set tbh. But, what I have seen…forget about it.

As far as most-favorite movies go, Yojimbo is the highest-ranked Criterion in my top 20 (Even though I don't have it on Blu)
But my most favorite supplements disc was for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

well, if i'm going all out fav film and release i'd def go with The Third Man. i mean that was an entire package with great film, a/v and nice extras if i remember. i still have keepcase edition (not sure what difference between the keepcase and i guess digibook edition that was discontinued. was that scratchable to discs, maybe?) sealed, but still have the Netflix rental blu and it is the Criterion, so i figure i'd keep other sealed for no reason in particular really...

Lots of great choices, but I lean towards Blow Out, Something Wild (the Jonathan Demme one, and the first time I saw it was when it came out on Blu, and its always a pleasure discovering a new favorite movie that I probably should've viewed years ago...And McCabe & Mrs. Miller (the score sounds amazing, and the cinematography was unique and challenging for its time, and I thought the Criterion transfer looked great)...
