###Welcome!

The Criterion Collection is a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films.

Here we discuss news, rumors and films of the Criterion Collection, including the Eclipse and Essential Art House series.

###About

The Criterion "Collection" is a company with over 900+ amazing films. On every 15th of the month, a handful of newly restored titles are added to the collection with custom cover art and exclusive supplements.

For every new title added to the collection, a new spine number is granted. Films that are already in the collection in DVD are routinely considered for Blu-ray upgrades, which also provide revamped artwork and supplements.

We understand how overwhelming a company with so many titles can be! Explore Criterion's celebrity top 10 lists and lists of themes to find a starting point that interests you!

###Social Media

###Posting Your Collection?

We ask that all collection posts be accompanied by the following questionnaire, to promote discussion and to help us get to know you a little bit. We recommend you upload your collection photo straight to reddit. If you want to share an album of photos, upload to Imgur.

###Copy and Paste:

* Where are you from?

* How old are you?

* When did you start collecting Criterion?

* Do you collect Blu-ray or DVD?

* What is your favorite Criterion release?

* What is your least favorite Criterion release?

###Social Media Posts

Posts from other social media platforms are not permitted in r/criterion. Between the consistent spam from people who are reviewers and the underlying political associations that the platforms have, we have decided to ban these platforms. If you are sharing an announcement from The Criterion Collection, you are welcome to share a screenshot or press release from their website.

You will find the sellers and traders here are very reputable, as we ensure those who have had successful exchanges in the past get a flair to signify their legitimacy.

###Custom User Flair

As mentioned above, established traders get an exclusive custom user flair! Message the moderators with proof of successful exchange, such as a public vouch or tracking number.
