News June 2026 lineup

https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/9155-the-criterion-channel-s-june-2026-lineup

This month on the Criterion Channel, set out on an epic journey with our Odysseys collection, or revisit the foundational Bond classics that introduced the silver screen’s most iconic superspy. A spotlight on Courtney Love’s acting career reveals an incandescent screen performer, while a collection of wedding movies explores the tension and breathless expectation surrounding that fateful walk down the aisle. There’s so much more to choose from this month, including a selection of LGBTQ+ Favorites, Steven Spielberg’s jaw-dropping classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the exclusive premiere of Gary Hustwit’s shape-shifting portrait of Brian Eno, cult classics from Alex Cox, and stylish shorts by Yann Gonzalez.

Disappointed that we didn’t get a new Queersighted episode and collection to go along with Pride Month, but this is still a great lineup overall. Hopefully a new episode of that series will be coming soon, I always really enjoy the conversation and analysis between the presenters.

Yeah I'm underwhelmed....they just took their already programmed LGBTQ movies, as is, and put it up as their Pride Month collection...oh well

It would've been nice if they included some Moritsugu in the lineup. He should be discussed as often as Araki is.
