Thanks to Film Rotation I'm now a little weak at the knees and can't concentrate at work anymore. Amazon.com is exclusively offering The 2004 Criterion Collection Holiday Gift Set that includes 241 titles (such as - "Battle of Algiers", "Rushmore", "George Washington", "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and "Fat Girl") and I want, want, want it.
One of the only disapointing things about this collection is that there are around 21 titles out of print that are not included in the set ("Straw Dogs" being the one I would would miss the most). Also, the fact that it cost $4,999 US to purchase caused me to shed tears. Tears I say! I guess this is one of those times I regret not marrying for money.
So for the film geek/snob/dweeb on your christmast list, or for that oh so charming and handsome online film blog writer out there (ahem!) this seems like one of the best film collection gifts to gain yourself a life time of love and admiration.
