First of all Rickie Lee Jones is effortlessly cool - no matter what the decade; secondly, I am inspired (and excited) by her choice of films, thirdly I want people to know that I had a true friend called Sue who loved Rickie Lee Jones (especially 'Chuck E's in love') and that she died very suddenly a few years ago. Not many people knew her, but I did - and I still feel her loss.
Films yes, but music and musical stories keep me company, help me understand and reveal myself to me. Thank you Rickie for being a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Keep going, I'm right behind you.
Gotta say, the talented Ms. Jones looks spectacular! And has great taste in films. "I like to make up my own stories because reality is everywhere. Let's face it." LOL, so wonderful!
This is one of the best one of these I've seen, and I might have seen all of these. Most people who enter the closet, you can kind of sense what they see with each film, but Rickie Lee truly makes you share her experience. She is fully transmitting her feelings into us here. Now, see if you guys can get her old pal Tom to pop in so we can see how he feels.
Such a charmer. And Devil In A Blue Dress was so criminally overlooked. Carl Franklin did a brilliant directing job. The 50s milieu is beautifully drawn. Denzel is great. Don Cheadle… one of the great film performances in history
Rickie made one of the best albums ever called 'Pirates'. Thank you, Rickie, for signing my copy for me. I hope that you enjoyed the Laura Nyro section in the Monterey film package too.
😆 I love her impression of Janis Joplin at Monterey... her and Big Brother's performance of "Ball & Chain" is one of the all-time great moments in music history (or cinema history!) for me! 🥰 PS. Not even gonna let us see what she says about that Fellini box set?!? 🤷♂️ One of my top 3 most loved artists of all time.
I'd watch this woman wash dishes. This was really nice. I love the movie A Taste of Honey too. Rita Tushingham and Murray Melvin were brilliant. So beautiful and heartbreaking (and that song does stick in your head forever). Managed to miss Hedwig...must put at the top of the list! And My Man Godfrey? I probably watch that about once a year. I'd see anything with William Powell in it (never knew till last year about his relationship with Jean Harlow...I learn something new every day whether I want to or not!). ❤☮🌎
LOL! I've been on a William Powell bender for a week! It started when I randomly watch My man Godfrey and now I'm going through the Thin man series. What. Is. Going. On. ?
I picked up Devil in a Blue Dress earlier this year. Such a good movie, been over a decade since I last saw it. Finally starting to watch my collection & the supplements too.
And for those of you who were as charmed as I was by Rickie Lee Jones' friendly, upbeat greeting, here it is five times in a row for you to enjoy whenever you please!: ruclips.net/video/15C6LCX9ugg/видео.html
Stfu, she has as much right and reason to be in the Criterion Closet as anyone else they've let in. Just because YOU don't like her - or have never even heard of her - doesn't mean shit to anyone. Go away. Why are you even here to begin with?
Honestly I think this is the best Criterion closet. Some beautiful observations, some actual wisdom. Thank you Rickie Lee!
National treasure!! Her songwriting and singing style is unique. really underrated..
Really nice to see a complete Fellini set being picked by someone in the closet despite being big and heavy (yes it is heavy to carry)

I just had no idea! She's amazing! "And remembering . . . who we were." Stunning!
You pic is very discreet. I'm charmed by it.
Rickie saying she watches movies more than she listens to records is so wild

That was my first Don Cheadle performance--a very sitting up and saying "who is this guy!?!" kind of moment. Stole the movie for me. Just amazing.
Rickie made one of the best albums ever called 'Pirates'. Thank you, Rickie, for signing my copy for me. I hope that you enjoyed the Laura Nyro section in the Monterey film package too.
Pirates is great.
Pirates is one of my all time favorites... just so awesome.
Pirates is so great album I’ve listened to this for ten years

goddess. icon. national treasure. its always a pleasure to see and hear the fabulous ms. jones. god bless you, madam. stay beautiful. 😘😘
absolutely legendary figure, thank you criterion for making this happen!!
All I know is Tom Waits loves her... and that's always enough for me! 😁
Anyone who likes My Man Godfrey is ok in my books.
She’s got so much soul.
Such a pleasure to see Rickie Lee Jones! Thank you so much!
I liked how she sat down in the Criterion Closet. Has anybody ever sat down before? Too cool.
And sang!
Rickie picking The Blob made my day
I remember the first time I saw her. Doing Chuck on SNL. I was singing that to myself for a month with her cool face in my head.
LOL! I've been on a William Powell bender for a week! It started when I randomly watch My man Godfrey and now I'm going through the Thin man series. What. Is. Going. On. ?
Thank You Rickie FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ! ! !
I discovered rickie Lee Jones’s Chuck E’s in love a few years ago when I was going through my dad’s CD collection. Great tune
I would've given this a thumbs up anyway but especially for her words at the end, very beautiful and wise.
Of course R.l.j.'s selections are perfect. Superb.
I don't watch these in order, so I watch 2 today and the original 'My Man Godfrey' gets picked both times!
Loved her 1984 album. Gravity is my favorite song by any lady singer.
Love Rickie Lee!!
I love her! Thanks for this vlog!
My Man Godfrey right off the bat!
I picked up Devil in a Blue Dress earlier this year. Such a good movie, been over a decade since I last saw it. Finally starting to watch my collection & the supplements too.
Rickie was my crush in the ‘80
Her explanation of 'The Blob' applies to 'The Tingler' with Vincent Price for me.
what a sweet video. And what great taste.
She is so cool
The films:
My Man Godfrey
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
The Blob
A Taste of Honey
Devil in a Blue Dress
Must be 40 years since I enjoyed Hedwig off-off-Broadway - John Cameron Mitchell is one fierce warrior for LGBTQ rights. Wonderful to see Rickie Lee!
Love ya, Ricki Lee -- don't be a stranger -- pleeze.

Traffic From Paradise by RLJ is in my Top Ten
I was hoping to hear her talk about the Fellini set, but it just cut to her holding it!?
how fucking wonderful is she
I want to watch movies with Rickie and Colin Quinn
I loved her in Fluffy Little Clouds
Chuck E's in Love. Mind dancing to that when i was 7.
Uhh what’s up with the Fellini set just being in her arms and that’s it?
Where's the footage of her talking about the Fellini laserdisc collection?
I would so like to raid that closet one day.
amazing
She also took the Essentials Fellini
Rickie Lee Jones and John Waters both picked The Blob.
She's like me, I'm more into watching movies than listening to music now, because there's no good music being made anymore.
what were the skies like when you were young?
Beautiful lady 🥰
Taste of Honey-oh , Rita
where is the James Gray video? 😔
Now get Tom Waits on here and my life will ve complete.
Iggy's finally slowing down
Never seen him with his shirt on before
@@JakeRanney Both these comments are very funny!
ASMR
the female iggy pop!
🍀 "promo sm"
LAST CHANCE NOT TEXACO BUT CRITERION. . . (just don t quite get these cramped quarters, no style, like latent S&M dungeon ...)
dear god, they're letting ANYONE in!
Her music has been in many movies.
Stfu, she has as much right and reason to be in the Criterion Closet as anyone else they've let in. Just because YOU don't like her - or have never even heard of her - doesn't mean shit to anyone. Go away. Why are you even here to begin with?
Billie Eilish in another twenty years.
