Criterion 24/7 helped me discover the best movies I’d never seen

For decades, the Criterion Collection has been a guiding star for movie buffs. Launching in the LaserDisc era, and then moving into DVDs, then Blu-rays, and now 4K Blu-rays, the company has been at the forefront of releasing classic and art house films from all over the world. In 2019, they launched the Criterion Channel, a streaming service housing a huge portion of their library, along with licensed titles from many other studios and distributors.
