Admire the Criterion Collection, but can’t afford the thousands of dollars required to purchase all those DVDs? There’s a more elegant solution…just get a Max subscription. Warner Bros and HBO have announced a renewal of their deal with Criterion to keep decades of film classics in one streamable spot.
“We are excited to continue to bring the Criterion Collection’s catalog of top-quality films to our audiences,” said Royce Battleman, Executive Vice President, Content Acquisitions, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Both the existing and new additions to the collection provide Max viewers with the opportunity to experience cinematic excellence as part of our offering.”
Founded in 1984, the Criterion Collection is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and protection of the art of cinema. Their famous line of DVDs and Blu-Rays span a hundred years of moviemaking, publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the world. The list is too long to mention here, so we’ll keep it to just the pictures cited in the press release: L’Avventura, Eraserhead, The Last Emperor, A Room with a View, The Great Beauty, La Strada, Fanny and Alexander, 8½, Babette’s Feast, The Seven Samurai, Cries and Whispers, Night Of The Living Dead, Tokyo Story, and may, many more.
It’s worth noting that this is in addition to Max’s deals with A24, Studio Ghibli and Turner Classic Movies. For everything WB’s been doing wrong lately, at least they’re getting one thing right: maintaining the strong cinematic library that “HBO Max” launched itself with. It’s all still there!
