I also picked up Happiness today! Alongside Sid & Nancy. Sold some records and other movies to scrap up some extra cash.
Happiness, Gummo, Bamboozled, House, Real Life, and the Qatsi Trilogy are all off the beaten path and very sick.
I'm only familiar with House and Gummo in here, looks like I got some homework to do now! House was my first ever Criterion purchase!
Seconding Happiness but it's very dark. Repo Man is a must grab. Blow Out and Sisters if you like DePalma/thrillers, Videodrome, Crash, and Scanners if you like Cronenberg/horror.
I've got all of the Cronenberg / DePalma titles, but I guess I definitely have to check out Happiness and Repo Man. I've heard some glowing recommendatios for Repo Man in the past as well.
picked up The Silence of the Lambs and Anatomy of a Fall in the last couple days. very excited to own both
and Beavis and Butthead Do America!? Dreams do come true. (Now give us a proper Jackass release with extras.)
Picked up Dr Strangelove yesterday. I also found Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, but it wasn’t the Criterion edition.
