<\/a><\/p>\n This weekend and this weekend only, the entire world is welcome to a festival made up of what are arguably the best movies ever made when the folks at Hulu<\/a> put the fabulous Criterion Collection<\/a> online for free (well okay, with commercials, but still, close enough). All of the Criterion movies are regularly available on Hulu Plus, but for one extended weekend, you can experience these amazing movies on the non-Plus version of Hulu. The Criterion Collection features the greatest directors, the finest actors, the most talented cinematographers, writers, costume designers, composers, and heck even the best best boys, all coming together to create some of the greatest movies ever made. Founded in the mid-1980s as a video\u00a0distributor\u00a0of art house and classic foreign films, Criterion has grown to become the gold standard in production quality and packaging, going on to gather a catalog\u00a0of the finest movies ever made.<\/p>\n Because of the immensity of the collection, there’s simply no way to watch more than a handful of the Collection. Even if you sit there for the entire time, swilling coffee, and never go to sleep, which if this is your first exposure to the Criterion Collection, you should very well consider. In a collection this large and varied, knowing where to start can be kind of hard. Also, and possibly more importantly, if there’s one thing people on the internet love, it\u2019s a list; gather the kids, the dog and the popcorn, because here\u2019s my Top Ten Choices for a Criterion Home Film Festival.<\/p>\nBreathless<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n
