I’ve been diving through the Criterion Collection YouTube channel and can’t get enough of these “so and so DVD picks” videos. For those who don’t know, the video features Criterion’s film closet and a wide selection of films for the featured guest to take. 

The Criterion Collection is dedicated to publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the world in editions that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original supplements. Nevertheless, below are Baker’s picks!
