I just stumbled upon a great website. It’s called Criterion and it is well worth a visit. I love lists, and guess what? they have added a special section for list lovers. It’s called the top ten list “Every month, we ask a friend—a filmmaker, a programmer, a writer, an actor, an artist—to select their ten favorite movies available from the Criterion Collection and jot down their thoughts about them. The entries (from people like Jane Campion, Jonathan Lethem, and Sonic Youth) are often surprising, and always entertaining.”

Here are the thumbnails of the movies James Franco has chosen – yes there’s 15 here – but he picked 10 directors and couldn’t decide in the end. Who cares, they’re all good. Here’s what Franco said “I am obsessed with The Criterion Collection. I have included more than ten, but I have lumped them by director. After compiling this list, I realized that I don’t have Fellini, De Sica, Godard, or Truffaut on here. Or Kurosawa, Jarmusch, Buñuel, or Fuller. Basically, I have every disc in the collection, and I am making my way through them all. It’s rare that I watch one I don’t like.”

There is a shop on the site – so gone are the days of spending 30 minutes scratching you head in XtraVision and leaving empty handed.
