- Kazuo Inoue
- Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story follows an aging couple, Tomi and Shukichi, on their journey from their rural village to visit their two married children in a bustling postwar Tokyo. Their reception, however, is disappointing: too busy to entertain them, their children send them off to the hot springs. After Tomi falls ill, she and Sukichi return home; the children grief-stricken, hasten to be with her. From a simple tale unfolds one of the greatest of all Japanese films. Starring Ozu regulars Chisu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, the film reprises one of the director's favorite themes--that of generational conflict--in a way that is quintessentially Japanese, and yet universal in its appeal."

- "This masterpiece by the poet of cinema, Jean Cocteau, has enchanted audiences for more than fifty years with its surreal beauty and magical visual effects. Josette Day and Jean Marais shine in the definitive filmed version of the classic romantic tale."

- The Tin Drum - Criterion Collection
-
- Gary Don Rhodes
- "Danzig, 1924. Oskar Matzerath is born with an intellect beyond his infancy. As he witnesses the hypocrisy of adulthood and the irresponsibility of society, Oskar rejects both, and, on his third birthday, refuses to grow. Caught in a baffling state of perpetual childhood, Oskar lashes out at all he surveys with piercing screams and frantic poundings on his tin drum, while the unheeding, chaotic world marches onward to the madness and folly of World War II. Honored with the Palm d'Or at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival and the 1979 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Volker Schlondorff's The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel) is a truly visionary adaptation of Nobel Laureate Gunter Grass' acclaimed novel, an unforgettable fantasia of surreal imagery, striking eroticism, and unflinching satire."

- Alain Resnais
- "Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek. One of the first cinematic reflections on the horrors of the Holocaust, Night and Fog (Nuit et Brouillard) contrast the stillness of the abandoned camps' quiet, empty buildings with haunting wartime footage. With Night and Fog, Resnais investigates the cyclical nature of man's violence toward man and presents the unsettling suggestion that such horrors could come again."

- Al Reinert
- "In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy's challenge of 'landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.' No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Breathtaking both in the scope of its vision and the exhiliration of the human emotions it captures, For All Mankind is the story og 24 men who travelled to the Moon--told in their words, in theor voices, using the images of their experiences."

- Spartacus - Criterion Collection
-
- Anthony Mann
- "Stanley Kubrick directed a cast of screen legends--including Kirk Douglas as the idominatable gladiator that led a Roman slave revolt--in the sweeping epic that defined a genre and ushered in a new Hollywood era. The assured acting, lush Technicolor cinematography, bold costumes and visceral fight sequences won Spartacus four Oscars; the blend of politics and sexual suggestion scandalized audiences. Today Kubrick's controversial classic, the first film to openly defy Hollywood's blacklist, remains a landmark of cinematic artistry and history."
