...list that follows is not a selection of the greatest films of all time. That list would have to include a number of titles, like Vertigo, Citizen Kane and 2001, that are not Criterion. It's not even a list of the greatest films, like L'Avventura and Jules and Jim, that are in Criterion's inventory. This is a list of the best Criterion releases considered as imaginative products and, if you will, public services - the discs that have the most beautifully cleaned up prints, the most desirable extras, the most illuminating commentary tracks...
