You can't take it with you
So I'm psuedomoving tomorrow and I've been having to make a lot of decisions. For instance, which DVDs should I bring with me? I have tons. I went out and bought a 25 DVD case (up to two disks per dvd). The trick is to pick ones that are rare and essential. There will be an Annie Hall where I'm going, but will there be a The Sorrow and the Pity? And so on. I also had to take into consideration movies I'll be watching for 100 films.
Here is my list (unordered):
1. Notorious (Criterion)
2. The Thin Man (Criterion)
3. Seven Samurai (Criterion)
4. Smiles of a Summer Night (Criterion)
5. The Seventh Seal (Criterion)
6. Wild Strawberries (Criterion)
7. Vertigo
8. Yojimbo (Criterion)
9. Persona
10. The Purple Rose of Cairo
11. The Rules of the Game (Criterion)
12. 8 1/2 (Criterion)
13. Bon Voyage
14. Jules and Jim (Criterion)
15. Gosford Park
16. Charade (Criterion)
17. I am trying to break your heart
18. Hannah and her Sisters
19. Crimes and Misdemeanors
20. The Russian Ark
21. The Sorrow and the Pity
22. La Strada (Criterion)
23. The Lady Vanishes (Criterion)
24. Manhattan
25. My Night at Maud's
Well? What would you bring?

I got some insider trading information so I am swapping 8 1/2 and the Wilco doc for the Criterion Antoine Doinel series:
The 400 Blows
Stolen Kisses
Bed and Board
Love on the Run
Why do you only list who released your Criterion dvds?
Other than Criterion, there are rarely two versions of the same film on DVD. In the case of The 400 Blows I own both the Fox version and the Criterion version.
having nothing to do with this post at all, i just wanted to say:
you mentioned that i was off by 50 on the 666 that plagues my life. i was reading to-day in "before jerusalem fell," by kenneth gentry, that the 616 you mentioned came after the writing of revelation, and in fact it is the latin version, seen in bibles in latin america. (and both cryptic numbers describe the same person- who through all of my jokes and others' misnomers, is not me.)
um... that is all. carry on.
i'm not suprised. the latins were wrong a lot. but, you should always get 2nd and 3rd opinions when reading bible scholarship...
no no, they were right in this instance, just that the latin form was translated from the greek- and the sum of the latin name does add up to 616, so it fits perfectly, only that the greek 666 was first.
