If Criterion can get Michael Haneke in the closet I can die in peace.

I’d love to see PTA or Wes Anderson in here. The Coen brothers would also be awesome

I just finished watching jules et jim and so happened to be his first pick!

I watched 🎬LOVE JONES two days ago (for the first time!!) and it was beautiful.
Congratulations on its Criterion release.

WARNING: SPOILERS IN THE CLOSET!
(lol, criterion bleeping for decades old spoilers!)

[philbrault]

Man, Theodore Witcher is an amazing name

[spacebase]

"Love Jones" is a personal favorite of mine! Great seeing this man in the closet!

[MiltonSP]

Dear Criterion, can you please invite Alejandro G. Iñárritu and Richard Linklater in the closet?

[jonathangarland]

There was an old documentary about inventors called Gizmo. I would love to have a Criterion version of that.

[robinhoodieradio]

Still waiting for y’all to release A Hidden Life

[nikolailevin]

"These Bergman are new to me" - Through a Glass Darkly is a masterpiece

[Jon-btzv]

Please Jane Campion, Hamaguchi, Almodovar!

[isaacgabrielvalbuena]

Release the video of Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Charlotte Gainsbourg >:(

[FPOAK]

They should get Lav Diaz on here. Not only is he one of the best contemporary filmmakers but he seems like one of the most likable people ever

[mattmontada]

Oddly enough, i finally watched Deep Cover. Pretty overlooked, fantastic neonoir movie that i think more people should talk about. Great video as always 👍🏻.
