The 1st ever Criterion DVD

[m_burlock]

What film was Criterion's 1st ever DVD to get released and does anybody own a copy?

[NathanRomano]

It was Grand Illusion. I don' have a copy

[MisterChristian]

I believe Grand Illusion is getting an upgraded DVD a la Seven Samurai and other "early" titles from the catalogue.

Does anyone have all 446 Criterions?


P.S.
It's interesting as to what's out of print and still in print.

[SamSanchez]

I own a little over 400 of the titles, so I'm getting there. There are plenty that are out of print, but a lot of which are so because of recent re-releases. The more sought after OOP titles are (as in NOT OOP because of re-release):
The Bank Dick
Blood for Dracula
Dead Ringers
Flesh For Frankenstein
Hard-Boiled
The Harder They Come
How To Get Ahead in Advertising
The Killer
Notorious
Rebecca
Robocop
Salo (will not be too sought after anymore due to its upcoming re-release)
Sid and Nancy
Silence of the Lambs
Spellbound
Straw Dogs
This Is Spinal Tap
Tokyo Olympiad (one of the more recent titles to go OOP)
Unbearable Lightness of Being



Here's a list as to which titles I own:

Of Sam's above OOP list I'm pleased that I own Robocop and The Silence of the Lambs. :)


P.S.
Yeah I only got 2 of them but I'm pleased none the less.

I got the Robocop Criterion for $3.00 at a yard sale (mint in wrapper!!) this past May.

[SamSanchez]

I got my Robocop for like $10, but I did get my Flesh For Fraknenstein, Dead Ringers, Hard Boiled, and Silence of the Lambs for like $2-$7 each. Some of the great perks of managing an FYE/Wherehouse.
