Edgar Wright Picks His Top Films from the Criterion Collection

Film director Edgar Wright spends some time with the folks at the Criterion Collection to pick his top films from the closet

If you've never heard of The Criterion Collection you've been missing out. They're a company dedicated to curating, collecting and reissuing amazing versions of classic films with unique special features. They've been around since the laserdisk days and are at least partly responsible for the way we experience special features on DVDs and blu-rays these days.So they're pretty great and they also have a marvellous recurring feature where they bring top filmmakers into their vaults and let them select their favourite films. And it doesn't hurt if they have a bit of a story to tell about some of them. The latest person to visit the Criterion closet is English director Edgar Wright, known for Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and the absolutely wonderful Scott Pilgrim vs the World, which deserves its own Criterion disk. Here he is picking his top movies and having a bit of a chinwag.
