First person in the closet able to reach the top shelf?
Yeah Tim Robbins is 6"4 or something
Bryan8329 without needing a stepper, that is.
Raime He’s 6’5” apparently
He stretches his hand as he stretches his mind.
@@HugoSoup57 yes 6"5 incredible. he could pass as an NBA player
He must have been thrilled to get to work with Altman.
No doubt. The Player was excellent and Robbins was in top form in it. Nashville is a masterpiece.

Don't forget he pushes back a copy of MEDIUM COOL.
Can't really make it out that well but it looks more like THE DARJEELING LIMITED to me...he'd be crazy to put MEDIUM COOL back!
THANKS Velocirapta! A magnanimous deed to provide the list. After viewing Tim and his comments I really hoped I'd find someone kind enough to provide it, you! I got a letter from Paris years ago. I thought, "I don't know a soul in Paris! Who could this be?" and it was a letter from Costa Gavras wanting to read my screenplay ha!
get the coen brothers
Yes!
That would be terrific.
For sure! I think "No Country," "The Big Lebowski," and "Blood Simple" are the best.
@@ianjohnson458 Fargo! Though The Big Lebowski is the most rewatchable movie I can think of.
@@ianjohnson458 Oh yeah Blood Simple.. it has to be one of my favorite films of all time.
Love these but could someone at Criterion edit these videos to add some text or the cover of the video when your guest picks them up? Often times they don't show the DVD to the camera or mention the title outright.
Pat Vamos i second this, i can't see half the movies he picks.
The picks are almost always listed by some good soul in the comments
Pat Vamos check the comments - someone always gets the list of films selected.
Pat Vamos Disagree. I like having to work. Plus it also feels good when you just see a word on the spine and you think 'yeahhhh me too, love that.' Covers and clips....nah, that's what any normal person would do,
Volume is very low
Then turn it up
best excuse for being late: I was in the Criterion Closet!
Could we please have a list of the films they pick please? Sometimes they just hold the film without mentioning the film itself, thank you. And ya'll need to add more Buñuel to the collection.
Geez, boost the audio level, guys.
Yay! I adore this dude, oh so much.
him and michael shannon are the 2 actors who can see the top shelf
His voice gives me ASMR. I love him in The Secret Life of Words. Underrated film.
The first one that comes to mind when I see him...but he was fantastic too in "The Player".
Sorry, I meant "Bob Roberts", him as a politician...very close to any American election, if I remember it right.
Can't believe he's never seen La Jetté.
Jacobs ladder awesome movie love this actor he was brilliant in war of the worlds 👍
Now where is the Criterion 'Howard The Duck' Blu-Ray???
Nashville is brilliant. His best film .
McCabe and Mrs. Miller is way up there, too.
Tipping my hat to the Chris Marker double feature
shout out to dan clowes for cover art on shock corridor
Criterion- please tell people in your closet to mention the names of the films. You can't always read the title from the box when they hold it up.
Why doesn't Criterion Collection have Spanish subtitles for their movies?
The Player is the best Tim Robbins film
The Shawshank Redemption Is the best. The Player and Mystic River are also top 5.
Jacob's Ladder is a great one too.
RIP
Get busy living or get busy dying.
all nihilism all the time - welcome to the ussr
He was impacted by Robert Altman's Nashville in HS and then he gets to star in Altman's film The Player years later. How lucky is he?
Short Cuts too!
His picks:
Antonio Gaudí (1984)
Eclipse Series 24: The Actuality Dramas of Allan King (1967-2005)
La Jetée (1963) / Sans Soleil (1983)
Nashville (1975)
Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Shock Corridor (1963)
My Dinner with André (1981)

He hadn't actually seen those first couple.
He went from A to Z
Thank you!
Von Antero thank you, people like you make life better
Bryan Colley he still picked them
Congratulations on launching Filmstruck, but please Criterion don't ditch physical media!
Filmstruck seems to be its own thing; subscribers have the option to get the "Criterion Channel" so it's got like its own exclusive thing going on there
We're sorry, FilmStruck is only available in the United States at this time.
God damn it.
Why would they ditch physical media?
That is the main point of Criterion releases.
I'm in the UK and I use the opera web browser to use filmstruck.
Don’t have to worry about that anymore :(
For the love of GOD, please get the rights to "Jacobs Ladder"
sublime movie and such a subway movie
Which Jacob's ladder? I did a quick search and two or more Jacob's ladder appeared. Which year is the one you're speaking of?
Ja La 1990
Hey, hey, there are no gods here. Imaginary friends are for idiots and children.
@@zaineridling well that's ironic because you're a cringe god
He's aged really well. Hope to see him in more iconic films down the road.
Bob Roberts.
Same he’s pretty cool
Add Jacob's Ladder
Oh fuck, a 4K restoration of JACOB'S LADDER would give me the biggest boner right now.
Adam Banks chill bruh
It should, it's an outstanding movie (it's apart of my DVD collection at least).
John King I’m glad I’m not the only one. Definitely in my top 10 for sure.
When he pushes the case back in at 0:33. Love this guy.
That's crazy that the film that made Tim look at film a different way, was directed by Altman, who Tim would later work with on some of Altman's most recognized works. This being of course, The Player and Short Cuts.
And Tim did great work in those. I love all of Altman's films, but I'm partial to his 70s output.
I agree. MASH is still one of my favorite films of all time. Gritty, raw, real, and hilarious. To me, one of the best comedic movies of the decade.
i dunno, Shawsank is his most iconic performance and film, the casablanca of our internet generation, through the movie fans' eyes but i think as an actor he found himself who he is, his true identity, his true style, under altman's direction
Are there any photos or a 360 degree look at that room? I want to see the shelves in their entirety.
Not really a special closet, just an ad gimmick. Lots of Barnes and Noble stores in nyc area carry more Criterion videos than seen here.
It would be great if you could include a list in the description of the titles they pick. You can't always tell in the video.
I never knew that about Shock Corridor. Great movie, and the bit he refers to is some of the best stuff in it. The alarming juxtaposition, seeing a black man rave pro-KKK sentiments is incredibly effective.
The congressman was probably Strum Thurmond, or of that ilk.
And now we had Kanye in 2020 lol
He kind-of looks like philip Seymour hoffman now or maybe visa versa (BEFORE PSH passed of course)
? He looks like Tim Robbins. End of.
He kinda looks like Tom Hanks here
Poor Tim.)
Yes! Both are my fav actors 😁
Tim is the better actor. Imho.
Said no one.
I love this man very much...his contributions to Shawshank was amazing
help me out here, why these famous actors and directors who earn more money than I'll ever see,, and also have all the inside connections, are missing so many key criterions, crucial films in their filmic education? Im just a cinephile with an average incoming but I have most of these titles. A guy like tim robbins who easily makes 10 millions for any big hollywood film, why doesnt have every single title? its what he does, its his passion and job.
of course it could all be pretenses so the series has a motive, but most of them seem genuinely unaware of these titles and say things like "they recommended this to me"
They're not missing them. This is an ad for Criterion. Safe bet they're both being paid and discussing/planning with Criterion staff which films they will choose.
Robbins is one of the few Criterion closet guests that gives the camera the chance to reveal to us what films he's holding : a sign of a true cineaste with great eye and placement!
And yes Tim, Costa-Gravas is always a great finding!!!
@0:33 The way he pushed that DVD back in was strangely satisfying. 🌀
1:54
Someone should have slipped a copy of Howard The Duck or Fraternity Vacation in there just to mess with him.
Shawn Powell lmfao I actually like BOTH of those movies
Congrats on filmstruck but don't ditch dvd and blu ray editions please!?!?!?
i love Tim Robbins, so i will watch the vid
someday i hope for access to "the criterion closet"... but i'm no celebrity. I'm not a film maker. I'm just a fan. I collect and view films. It's a lonely life at my age. as for Tim's picks. .. all very good.
They should do an annual contest that lets one lucky SOB visit the esteemed closet!
You should check into getting the Criterion Channel. There's a 2 week free trial and then around $11/month.
@@chrisbender8714 i already have The Criterion Channel I was one of the first subscribers
Probably the only one who didn't pick old boring French films.
I just got my first Criterion through the flash sale! This just makes me pumped to get it
which film?
Pach Pacheco "A Night to Remember"
Austin Wolf cool stuff. hope you enjoy.
And so the addiction begins...
A fine example of a celebrity activist with poise & grace, don't find many like him anymore. Oh, & he kicked ass in Eric The Viking.
I LOVE that his first choices are films that he's never seen before, just ones that he's interested in.
Cant believe I'm witnessing a new criterion DVD picks video. Finally! Thank you, Criterion
It's an ad. Not a gift from Criterion. They want you to buy their products.
"I need a sherpa" -- Tim Robbins
Great pics all around! Excellent insight on the writing in Shock Corridor.
THANK YOU for picking Z! Incredible movie that I don't think anyone else have picked before.
lyricsfromsweden, it's not on Blu unfortunetly
Tanner Bartko No it's not, they need to get on that!
lyricsfromsweden, I know! xD
I think William Friedkin picked Z, as well. Stunning film. Timeless.
I would love to see Quentin Tarantino on this RUclips
Wow, Criterion must have a lot of money to be giving away their DVD's on that scale even if it's to the members of the movie industry and other cultural practitioners.
I love these but please ask people to read the titles, I could not read their subjectively tiny print
I've watched a lot of these videos and I really love them. Thanks for this series, Criterion!
Howard the Duck...on criterion. Please
I wont rest untill Criterion releases "Manos: Hands of Fate".
THE CRADLE WILL ROCK directed by TR is a great film.
At the end he puts back "The Darjeeling Limited." Don't know how I recognized the cover but I did and compared it to my copy to be sure and it's definitely that movie.
Obviously done before The Player came out on Criterion. To go from being in awe of Nashville, to playing a part in The Player - damn Tim, you lucky S.O.B! And then getting to take your pick at Criterion! LOL Is there a time limit these people have in there?
I need a Criterion version of tim robbins' Dead Man Walking.
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it shout out to the astounding Canadian filmmaker Allan King, who’s films are among the greatest movies ever made.
It’s gotta be weird to watch a movie as a fan and loving the filmmaker.... and then later that director makes you the star of a movie of his.
Please Criterion, PLEASE stop region-locking your releases!! At the moment, you give the potential customers around the World no choice but to torrent them!
It’s about licensing rights. They’d obviously want all their products to be available all over the world if possible.
“The Phil Jackson Story” ... starring Tim Robbins.
Bro just casually said the N-word
BOB ROBERTS for the Collection, please.
The great Tim Robbins, huh? Hey, great idea for a box set, Criterion: Tapeheads, Bull Durham, and Shawshank Redemption. Such an amazing career!
Tim Robbins, we need you in cinema again sir!
I wished he had walked out of there with a blu ray copy of howard the duck
We need a Criterion release for Walter Hill's Streets of Fire.
He seems like a cool guy. Very interesting that he names Nashville as the first that really opened his eyes to the extended possibilies of film. For me it was Paris, Texas
Please add Jacob's Ladder to the Criterion collection.
Oh look Andy Dufresne switched from books to films.
I wonder if he picked, Gilda.
see the brilliant TIM ROBBINS WITH SAMUEL FULLER IN THE TYPEWRITER, THE
RIFLE AND THE MOVIE CAMERA.....
sad that they never got to make a feature together!!! HE SHOULD DIRECT MORE MOVIES
ALSO
Nashville has not held up well. Pretty boring if you've been watching 20 years of 21st century stuff.
Can you ask your guest to name their selections. Some of us with visual impairment need, in the first instance, to know what is being discussed.
ummm...Shawshank Redemption....literally a perfect film.
(Z) Great Great Great Movie
Excellent. And a wonderful turn by the brilliant and beautiful, Irene Pappas.
Cant hear a FUKIN word ! Criterion , why do you make these silent movies ?
legendary actor right here
Can you say the title of the movies once in a while Tim?
Tim Robbins
Don't say your excuse out loud. They're gonna watch this video and know that you lied.
They really need to tell the guests to either hold the title up to the camera or say the title clearly. Hard to tell what they are picking at times 🫤
Allan King's documentaries are great!
He looks like how a love child between Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman would look.
Spot on!
Too bad Tim can’t manage to actually say what movies he’s choosing. “This on is great” doesn’t cut it Tim!! Jeez you’d think a “professional “ would know better. Disappointing.
The Allan King eclipse set he grabbed at the start is the greatest release in the collection.
Dude, they should have a contest where you enter and you get to have a spending spree in the Closet. Criterion could set the limit on how many you can pick but a trip to the Closet would be a contest worth entering in my opinion. They film it just like these.
One of the rules is you can pick 10-15 but you have to talk about all of them as you pick them up. Maybe the grand prize winner could pick 20 and have a guest director to verbally spar with on your picks. I would KILL to pick 20 with Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino.
Ddue I would be going crazy picking films and talking about them XD If they could get director Steve McQueen to spar with me on choices I would be in heaven!
Love this guy.
A Criterion release of Shawshank Redemption would be welcomed by me...
sorry to be negative, but that movie is immensely commercially popular. It's probably on some cable channel right now. Shouldn't be anywhere near the Criterion priority list
Culprit LA it's okay you are probably have a critical bent. Criterion films don't need to be independent films or obscure films...just influential ones. Being popular doesn't disqualify a film from being released on the Criterion Collection.
Dean of DVD
you are right that it doesn't, but there has to be a combination of underlying reasons - usually a combination of lack of good representation of a film in the DVD/Blu-Ray market AND an artistic one. I won't argue about an artistic merit of it, but surely Warner Home Video has it as one of their most popular catalogue titles. There is just no need for Criterion to be involved. There's only been one example of a major somewhat recent Hollywood film making its way onto Criterion and - Armageddon - and i think that was the strangest, downright bizarre release. An ironic one, i imagine
Also, not sure I'd agree that the film is influential.
Culprit LA how about Boyhood, Manchurian Candidate, The Rose, The Rock, Chasing Amy, Nashville, and others?
Wow, he's looking so old. I always remembers him as the guy from Nothing to Lose
I think he took some time off from acting in the late '00s to age.
but what was he reaching for? cliffhanger!
There are two films I've been trying like hell to get, to no avail: Peeping Tom and Z. One day I will get both.
I wish you luck in your search - Peeping Tom is an excellent film.
I love that he goes for a few that he hasn't seen yet and wants to see.
I must be the only person who doesn't like him as an actor. Even in the closet, his appreciation feels forced. "I have a meeting uptown." Absolute masters lose themselves doing this, and he appears almost bothered. Give me more Wallace Shawn, Paul Dano, or anyone. They forget they're actors and become one of us. He's still acting, pushing his agenda (which I agree with BTW), when given this cherished opportunity.
Oh wow, he had never seen La Jetée? Jacob's Ladder may remind him of it.
Does criterion have any David Lynch films?
1qwasz12 Mulholland Drive. I own it and it looks spectacular with a great, long interview with both Lynch and Watts among other goodies.
Eraserhead as well.
That is Lynch's worst film. Awful in so many ways. I think he made this movie to expose the poseurs.
@@highvoltagemedia7150 No Laura Harring? That would be a bummer. Love that film, though.
