George Lazenby stars as a proto-dirtbag in this visually striking but narratively inert giallo. The first third is just him absentee-fathering his daughter. After she's found murdered, he spends his time "investigating" her death by aimlessly wandering around Venice. âď¸âď¸ #CriterionChannel#Giallo đĽ

Grey Gardens meets the Partridge Family in this tedious giallo that is closer to a Spanish soap opera than a horror movie. Slow, silly, and sorely lacking the stylistic excesses that define the genre. âď¸ #CriterionChannel#Giallo đĽ

Marcello Mastroianni is âThe Organizerâ #NowStreaming#CriterionChannelstreamondemandathome.com/the-organize...
Mario Monicelliâs drama of a labor strike in 19th century Italy is lively, funny, and chaotic, a provocative portrait of social action and a compassionate drama of a community in crisis.
Classic Preston Sturges comedy that's part of an extraordinary run that includes The Lady Eve and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. While not quite at the level of those two films, it's still very funny throughout, and Claudette Colbert is an absolute delight. âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ #CriterionChannel đĽ

For this one, the title pretty much says it all â lots of gore, lots of nudity. A charming performance by Edwige Fenech doesn't quite make up for the film's cringe-inducing attempts at "humor" â most of which would be rightly considered sexual assault, then and now. âď¸âď¸ #CriterionChannel#Giallo đĽ

Renoirâs beautiful and devastating social satire was reviled when it was released in 1939 and embraced as a masterpiece when it was restored 1959. It placed in the number 13 spot in the 2022 âŚ
âDays of Heavenâ â Richard Gere on the run #NowStreaming#CriterionChannelstreamondemandathome.com/days-of-heav...
The second feature from director Terrence Malick is a delicate, impressionist drama set in the foundries and wheat fields of early 20th century America.
âAnatomy of a Murderâ â James Stewart for the defense #NowStreaming#CriterionChannelstreamondemandathome.com/anatomy-of-a...
Stewart plays a country lawyer who covers his sharp legal mind behind a folksy manner in Otto Premingers crackling legal thriller, costarring Ben Gazzara, Lee Remick, and George C. Scott.
The vaguely Lynchian mumblecore vibe feels promising at first, but the story is not particularly compelling. âď¸âď¸ đĽ #CriterionChannel
