It was a tie, so I changed my vote from Harold and Maude to our winner, Green for Danger.

The release year is over, so here are five random films from all those Criterion released this year.

Bumping this. Anybody could still win.

I voted for the Duvivier to finally prod myself to unwrap the damn set, though in my defense I've been saving that Eclipse like one saves a fine wine

To coincide with the 2000s list, which finishes at the end of the month, here are 5 Criterions originally released in the 2000s.

Happy New Year!

Is Murderous Maids only available via Hulu?

#907 Post by **swo17** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 5:55 pm

It's in the OOP Rialto box.

#908 Post by **domino harvey** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 6:40 pm

Unless I'm missing it, it's not even on Hulu? Seems like a waste of a slot given how almost no one will have access to this title except via back channels or the old OOP hVe release

People voted for it to be eligible along with the exclusives from Janus and EAH a long time ago.

Besides, isn't the real question whether Drucker has access to it?

#910 Post by **domino harvey** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 6:56 pm

Haha good point! I guess I'll keep my vote for it for now

jindianajonz · #911 Post by **jindianajonz** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 9:29 pm

I'm voting for White Material, as its the only film on the list I was hoping to rewatch for the project. I'd be happy with Che too, but I'm not sure I have much to say on Antichrist that hasn't already been said in its own thread.

I don't.

Such a coincidence, the bar I ended up in last night at 3am played Antichrist. I love it, I own it, and I generally dig most of LVT's work, but I have to go with Che. Despite feeling incomplete even with a 5 hour runtime, I think it is the best film on the list. White Material is my third place.

Drucker · #914 Post by **Drucker** » Sat Jan 02, 2016 3:09 pm

That 5 hour runtime is exactly why I'm not voting for Che. As much as I want to watch it, I know I won't get to it.

#915 Post by **Mr Sausage** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 7:36 pm

Che wins.

#916 Post by **Mr Sausage** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 10:32 am

In conjunction with the current genre list discussion, here are five random films from the collection about youth.

Drucker · #917 Post by **Drucker** » Fri Jan 15, 2016 2:42 pm

All of these seem to be on Hulu except for Forgiveness of Blood. Going with La Promesse, as I haven't seen a film by the Dardennes.

#918 Post by **Mr Sausage** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 10:30 am

And it's The Spirit of the Beehive.

#919 Post by **Mr Sausage** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 10:34 am

As a bit of a change, here are five random films from Second Run's catalogue.

Lemmy Caution · #920 Post by **Lemmy Caution** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 10:53 am

I voted for Sofia's Last Ambulance since I just bought it yesterday.
And the only other one I have is Valley of the Bees (which I've seen).

Oedipax · #921 Post by **Oedipax** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 11:14 am

Tough choice for me - I could've gone for the Gomes (still his best film in my opinion) or the Philibert just as easily, but opted for the Weerasethakul since I'd love for more people to check it out and see the reactions here.

Sloper · #922 Post by **Sloper** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 2:32 pm

The Valley of the Bees gets my vote - such a mysterious, beautiful, shocking, subversive film.

jindianajonz · #923 Post by **jindianajonz** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:13 pm

Sofia's Last Ambulance since i own it and it'll fit nicely into the next decades half list.

#924 Post by **Mr Sausage** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 10:34 am

The Valley of the Bees it is.

Lemmy Caution · #925 Post by **Lemmy Caution** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 10:59 am

Good choice.
I just watched Sofia's Last A and really disliked the style and thought the content was minimal as well.
Was a blind 2nd Run purchase. Not my cuppa.
