The Criterion Collection’s New Website

Posted on Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

The Criterion Collection is making a big push into digital distribution. Their new website — The Criterion Online Cinematheque, which launched this week, introduces $5 one-week movie rentals. If you decide to buy the movie on DVD or Blu-ray, Criterion.com will discount the rental price from your purchase.

The site also has a ton of new content, including some of the essays included with some of their DVD releases. For example, you can read Martin Scorsese’s thoughts on Wes Anderson’s Bottle Rocket or learn what Rian Johnson’s top 10 Criterion films are. Also, Each month they will be programing online film festivals, which will be advertising supported. Check out the video on the main page.

DVD, 

  • looks great
    Style your statement and create a musical blog on at www.uploaded.tv with your short portfolio
  • You guys should really have a Revisit Column on the site. I would like to see some of the older classics reviewed. It's always good to know where you came from, and the movies that inspired, should be revisited every once in a while.

    Criterion is a good place to start.
  • Man, that new site makes me wish I had the money to splurge on Criterion dvds. Didn't think they needed to change the site, but the new one looks pretty cool.

    Oh great finally a film service... nah wait no international usage again. Im sick and tired of this. I can't believe the film industry finds piracy surprising.
  • Sweet, easily accessible movies I've never seen.

  • This is great. I love the format of Criterion. Way to upgrade.
  • Myles
    awesome, love me some Criterion. Too bad you can't get them without importing in Australia.
  • Great Idea. I see the criterion collections all the time and like not only to admire their covers, but what's inside of them. The movies. I love Criterion
