So, you’ve probably heard the Criterion Collection is free on Hulu all President’s weekend<\/a>. Lotta ones I need to see, including many Japanese classics.<\/p>\n


\nPhil Freeman<\/a> made this list of ones he’d seen last year, and I went through and made my own but it’s just been sitting in my drafts because I couldn’t think of an excuse to post it. Well here we are. And most of these movies have great soundtracks, right? It’s valid for a supposed music blog. Besides, how much can you learn about life through music alone? If you’re basing everything off lyrics you’re pretty much wasting your life, they’re usually just how one person felt for one day or words that sound good together. It’s almost as bad as children’s anime, face it. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I was surprised at some of the movies in the Criterion Collection. Makes you wonder what the criterion<\/i> for a Criterion is. They’re all good movies on some level, but there seem to be wildly different levels. I guess it’s a business decision in some cases. I gotta wrap up this paragraph in some satisfactory manner before I start researching this further. Done.<\/p>\n

I would would watch any of these again except for Armageddon<\/em> and Fat Girl<\/em>, but I made myself pick ten favorites, bolded:<\/p>\n
