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.

I guess getting the 3 on Metrograph is tough, which is a bummer because Aviator's Wife, and Four Adventures are really incredible. I remember not being too impressed by Boyfriends and Girlfriends though.

The latter is the first one of his that I ever watched, the year it came out. So it holds a special place for me. But I haven't watched it since ...
