ngl, doing both a Criterion Collection Challenge and an Anti-Criterion Collection Challenge at the same time on Letterboxd has convinced me to cancel my Criterion Channel subscription lol
#Basically you have to watch 52 movies that match that year's list of prompts over the year#For the Criterion Challenge they are all obvs Criterion Collection movies and for the Anti CC one they are movies not included in the CC#and at some point i realized i was having way more fun with the Anti CC one and rating almost all the Criterion watches as mid#and then i realized it's not so much the Criterion-worthy status that matters and makes it enjoyable#but more that i simply enjoy doing challenges and checking off checklists#And it's not like i haven't found some pretty good watches in the CC either... but you can find just as many elsewhere too#Maybe the thing i like best about the CC streaming service#is that they have lots of those behind the scenes bonus features and interviews that i miss from the DVD owning/renting days#Also it's CRAZY to me that some people have actually watched all 1600+ things in the Criterion Collection!!!#And then you read what they have to say about the experience and they're like 'yeah a lot of it was kinda filler / a waste of time tbh'#omggggg but you still did it anyway?#And dont even get me started on the people who try to physically own the entire collection on DVD......#movies#p
