For serious film lovers and collectors, few names command as much respect as Criterion Collection. Since its inception, Criterion Collection has become synonymous with quality, film culture, and collectible value. Each release is carefully selected, restored, and filled with bonus material that allows you to not only watch the film—you experience its entire history.
Why choose Criterion Collection?
Investing in films from Criterion Collection means investing in film history at its best. Here are some of the main reasons why collectors around the world choose Criterion:
Carefully restored films in top quality – Many titles are released in 2K, 4K, or 4K UHD restorations for the best possible picture and sound.
Exclusive bonus features – Interviews, documentaries, essays, deleted scenes, and in-depth analyses rarely found on other releases.
Iconic design – Each cover and package is carefully designed and often unique to Criterion, making them extra attractive to collectors.
A hand-picked selection – Only films considered to have artistic, historical, or cultural value are included in the Criterion Collection.
When you buy a Criterion release, you're not just getting a movie, you're getting a cultural experience that deepens your understanding and appreciation of the art of film.
Criterion Collection for collectors
For collectors, the Criterion Collection is more than just films – it's collectibles. Many editions are printed in limited quantities and retain, or even increase, their value over time. Their editions are perfect for those who want to build a film collection that is both beautiful to look at and culturally significant.
In addition to Blu-ray and DVD, Criterion now also offers 4K Ultra HD editions, making their films even more attractive to collectors who want the absolute best picture quality. Often, booklets or pamphlets with essays, illustrations, and other unique information are included, enhancing the collector's experience.
Perfect for film lovers who want to go beyond the mainstream
Many films in the Criterion Collection are classics, international masterpieces, or films that have had a huge influence on film history—but which rarely receive wide distribution. Through Criterion, you get access to a treasure trove of films that not only entertain, but also inspire and educate.
In addition, many Criterion releases are region-free, making them perfect for international collectors and anyone who wants to build a global film collection. We always indicate the region code and language in the product information, so you can buy with confidence.
