“Which Criterion Collection film would you recommend to someone new and why?”

*le gasp* What do you mean "Brandon Fraser hasn't won an oscar yet" you uncultured swine machine?

So Brendan Fraser won an Oscar, but Scattergories is saying that’s not an answer??

Right!!??

I’ve been called many things, but never a normie 😹

Same XD

I love this theme! I'm a criterion nut! I would recommend Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby, Rushmore, Devil in a Blue Dress, Old Boy, The Red Shoes and anything from Inarritu, Lynch and Almodovar

No Country for Old Men. Quirky, suspenseful and Javier Bardem was flat out creepy!!

Although I really love the Breakfast Club and WALL-E, I would definitely recommend Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. Such an excellent FRESH modern day film in a time where everything feels like a remake or sequel.

Parasite is such a great film!
scarface - needs no explanation - my scatrergories was screwed up again today - exact same issue - I'll reach out on discord

i guess anything by david lynch (i havent seen all his works but i hope to)! i really want to see mississippi masala as well as more by sofia coppala!

also if we're just listing good films then OFC i will say fiddler on the roof. truly every single person needs to see the movie or musical at least once! no matter where you are in life youll be able to relate to at least one character a LOT

Ace Ventura

Wes Andersons films are all lovely and funny and weird and quirky and wonderful.

Modern Times. A perfect film from start to finish.

Like Kurosawa, I make mad films 'Kay, I don't make films But if I did they'd have a Samurai

The only reason I got that in down words lol!

Eek, this was a difficult one. 😥
I had to google what Criterion Collection means! This was not my best category!
Just here to say that Ben Affleck did win an Oscar for Good Will Hunting.

And Argo. I also used his name in scattergories.
I said Ben affleck too and got it wrong

So it won't accept either Ben Affleck or Brendan Fraser, the AI was opinionated today XD

The Sweet Hereafter, because it's a great movie and it's Canadian
Everyone! Celebrate me by me getting and 80-day-streak on lil snack
Congratulations 🎊 on getting to 80.

Dazed and Confused…all right, all right, all right

I don’t even know what criterion is ?
Me two twin
I know what it is, but I couldn't name a single film in the collection. I could make some guesses, and I might be right, but there is no film which I solidly know is part of it. And I don't know who decides or how they decide which films to include.

The Criterion Collection is a distribution company that focuses on restoring and releasing films important films.
You're not the only one 😅, but now we do 🫡

thank you @amiableferret! i searched the website's list to see which ones to share here but didnt get what it was!
Seven samurai, Wall-E ,
Seven Samurai is a classical
SOMEBODY ROBBED MY COINS???

no one did, we received your message, please be patient 🙇🏻♂️
😂😂

The breakfast club because it’s a classic movie.
Who runs this site? I put Brendan Fraser in Scattergories because he won an Oscar in 2022, but I'm told that's wrong.

Same

Apparently Bogart was wrong too although he won in 1951. Not sure who they’re looking for

Yet Brie Larson was accepted...

Yep. 2022 Best Actor for The Whale. I wonder if Scattergories just has a big list of possible answers, or some sort of AI? Either way they missed that one.
@JAMHANDS I've never seen The Room (2015), but I'm sure she earned her Oscar.

Far too many great classics to choose from. I'm a little insulted that John Singleton wasn't included in today's Down Words...
Defending Your Life, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Wall-E, The Graduate, and The Breakfast Club.

Defending Your Life. 👌

No... not missing coins, but only 3 puzzles today?

Yeah didn't get the option to rate and share like other days.
The option to rate is still not up and working. I need it today as I hated this theme 😂

Haha same seagull

i seem to be missing a whole lot of lil coins. anyone else?

can you please reach out to me on discord? my username is Flash in there too

@Flash I feel bad for you that you have to keep answering this question. It's up to you, of course; however, perhaps you could make a post stating that you're working on resolving the issue for whoever's missing coins. Just trying to help. Have a good day

it's part of the job 😊 I can't pretend that everyone reads the post even if I write that I'm already on it, so I'll keep doing it this way, but thank you so much for your kind thought! 🤗🥰 really appreciated
