Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #48 David Brynes' closet picks It was hard for me to articulate how "movies used to look better", but now I can just point to Mon Oncle and say, "movies should look like that".

Mon Oncle (1958)
5 stars

Mon. Hulot's neighborhood is the most pleasant location ever put to film.

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #49 Criterion Double Features, Film 2 Part western, part heist, part cat and mouse, shot beautifully. Occasionally funny!

The Baron of Arizona (1950)
4 stars

Griff and the Baron should've made out at some point.

The Criterion Channel has a whole collection of them right now.

A frane from The Darjeeling Limited with "ODYSSEYS" in the background. Text:

Odysseys
The road of return is studded with adventure, discovery, and surprise in these tales of epic quests that draw on one of literature’s most enduring narrative archetypes: the journey back home. Whether traversing the hardscrabble highways of Depression-era America (SULLIVAN’S TRAVEL, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?), the surreal labyrinth of New York City after dark (AFTER HOURS), or the elemental wilderness of the frontier (THE SEARCHERS, WALKABOUT), these by turns tragic, comic, mythic, and deeply personal tales of wanderers and seekers tap into the fundamental human yearning to find our way back to where we belong.

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #21 1940s I laughed. I respectfully looked at Veronica Lake. I got social commentary. Great flick.

Sullivan's Travels (1941)
5 stars

I too would inadvertently fake my death, assault a train-yard bull, and do hard time to marry Veronica Lake.

Trent Reznor, in a sleeveless black tee, menacingly saying, "We're here to have a bad time."

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #8 1930s German expressionism set design needs to be in all movies.

M (1931)
5 stars

A film that shocked me in how modern it is. I think that must stem from how much it has influenced everything that came after it.

FDM printing, while slow (~37 hours), can yield impressive enough results.

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #11 King Princess' top 10 Funny, but I think Christopher Guest improved on the formula.

This is Spinal Tap (1984)

The funniest joke is that the actors became legitimately good musicians.

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #31 Watch a movie rated 3.7 stars. Yes, I know I already did this number, but I moved Baron Munchausen to #52 watch a CC film in your watchlist. This movie is an excellent prequel to Magic Cop.

Mr. Vampire (1985)
4 stars

*Squinting*

Is that... Magic Cop?

*rubs eyes*

Holy shit, that's Magic Cop, from Magic Cop!?

Dallas' ominous megastructure is one that the city council is sadly very horny to destroy.

Dallas City Hall's cameo in the film Robocop.

A night shot of its slated brutalist form with additional stories added in post production.

For any occasion my daughter gives me a gift, I've requested that she create a different artistic vision of Big Tex on fire. The one she made for this Father's Day is an absolute banger.

Watercolor/pencil drawing of Big Tex's head on fire looking over a sailing ship on fire in high seas. caption reads "Big Tex Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World 11.14"

Criterion Challenge 2026 #CC2026 #12 Judge a film by its cover. Kind of a cop out to slot it here, just wanted to watch it after picking up the 4K and HOLY SHIT what a movie.

Sorceror (1977)

I forgot how to beathe during the last half of this movie. Shit.

A still from the movie Night of the Hunter. Robert Mitchum looks up from a stoop staircase in a black suit with an old fashioned hat and tie. He grips the bannister and newell post, "love" and "hate" tattoos on his knuckles.

Two frames of King of the Hill, each with Hank on his lawnmower, threatening Dale.

Top frame caption: It's already 110°f in the summer

Bottom frame caption: and if it gets 1°f hotter I'm gonna kick your ass!
