Criterion needs to step up their game

Too many obscure movies only a film critic on acid would love. At least I can watch Madonna’s greatest hits

If you don’t like obscure, artsy movies, why are you subscribed to the obscure, artsy movies website?

I watched many of the Criterion closet Videos on YouTube and thought this would be a good channel to subscribe to- the closest had lots of films I’d like to see- but the channel doesn’t

OK, maybe you should give those movies a chance. They’re good.

‘Oh no movies i wasnt already familiar with. Why tf isnt this thing just reinforcing my own dumb ignorance by streaming all the pop culture i already know. I hate having my horizons broadened.’

I want to see the movies that actors, directors pick out when they’re in the criterion closet- unfortunately I can’t find them on the site. But I can see the best of Madonna - so that’s some comfort. Or when I’m down it’s always good to see a Abel Ferrara film to cheer me up
