I wish the first version of THE GLASS KEY with George Raft was available. I'd love to see that again.

I was a bit disappointed in their Veronica Lake selections. It seems more like they were interested in showing her films with Alan Ladd, instead of a true representation of her work at Paramount. I would like to have seen at least one of the musical comedies she made with Eddie Bracken or Sonny Tufts.
If they were going to be so focused on the Ladd-Lake output, then why not give everyone a chance to see SAIGON (1948) which is actually my favorite Veronica Lake movie. |

One thing I like about the Criterion Channel is how they are including a lot of neglected Paramount titles, such as this one--

 Criterion Channel’s Sight and Sound Critics’ Poll: Greatest Films of All Time"Once every decade, “Sight and Sound” magazine has polled film critics from around the world and issued a list of the 100 greatest films of all time. Ever since the first poll in 1952, the “Sight and Sound” list has played a central role in film culture, sending movie lovers on obsessive viewing quests to watch them all, as well as catalyzing debates around the assumptions and biases that shape the canon. With over 1,600 critics contributing ballots, 2022’s edition is the most expansive yet, resulting in a list that includes old favorites like TOKYO STORY, THE RULES OF THE GAME, and SEVEN SAMURAI and new entries such as WANDA and CHUNGKING EXPRESS—as well as a new champion in the number-one spot, now occupied by Chantal Akerman’s singular masterpiece JEANNE DIELMAN, 23, QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES. Drawing from Janus Films’s library of essential art-house classics, we’re pleased to be able to present so many of the poll’s selections—you won’t find as many of the consensus greats on any other streaming service."
Glad they curated a list like this. I think I've seen most of the films on the Sight and Sound list. What is probably most interesting are the films which were taken off the list which these chaps below discuss a bit (fun, informal chat) -

Fresh off Twitter:
Silly in places but intensely watchable, gorgeously Michael Mann shot, never seen on DVD, and some of the Tangerine Dream themes have been stuck in my head for forty years.

 Thought about cancelling CC for a bit. But they pulled me back in with these! No one else is likely to have better versions on the web.

I would be saying this if film themes were done according to conservative aims/goals.
If I do end up pausing my subscription for awhile, I will still post on this thread what gets added in February and March...and if any of those months have too many new titles I can't miss, I will probably restart my subscription. |

 Topsy Turvy (1999, Mike Leigh) Set in the 1880s, the story of how, during a creative dry spell, the partnership of the legendary musical/theatrical writers Gilbert and Sullivan almost dissolves, before they turn it all around and write the Mikado.
One of the best movies (and personal faves) about putting on a show. Another great looking film keeping me subscribed to CC.  Nice interview with Leigh from 2000 about the film (above). |

This one turns 60 this year...
8½ (1963, Federico Fellini)
A harried movie director retreats into his memories and fantasies.
Never watched it, though it's widely regarded as Fellini's best. The anniversary's a good reason as any other to finally see it (and keep the subscription ). Nice, if a bit brainy, group discussion of the film and its legacy above.
