This week on Episode 693 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by the upcoming release of the brand new Stanley Kubrick box set, we discussed our Top 5 Criterion Collection box sets that we want to see some day! Criterion has an insane collection (in turns out) that features many of the best films of all-time, but weirdly there are gaps in the box sets that could be remedied. This was a really fun conversation and hopefully Criterion gives us these as we’re more than willing to spend the money. That said, here are our lists:
(Note: Please keep in mind that we each had different criteria for our selections)
JD
1) Terrence Malick
2) Charlie Chaplin
3) Jordan Peele
4) Lynn Ramsay
5) Steven Spielberg
Ryan
1) Robert Altman
2) Mike Nichols / Elaine May
3) Spike Lee
4) Todd Haynes
5) Richard Linklater
Honorable Mentions (Combined)
Pedro Almodóvar, Todd Field, Spike Jonze, Jeff Nichols, Kelly Reichardt, Wim Wenders, Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola, Abbas Kiarostami
Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists, and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. There are obviously more box sets that we didn’t have time to mention. That is to say, your list could look very different than ours given the great films and memorable sequences we saw over the last year. That being said, what would be your Top 5? Leave a comment in the comment section or email us at [email protected].
