To be honest, a man watches films. Movies are mere entertainment best consumed in paperback form. Films, on the other hand, utilize a comprehensive medium to make you think and feel. If that sounds too committal, the definitive prospectus has already been curated for you by the Criterion Collection. Once a movie makes the Collection, it’s a film. While they’ve let airheads like Roger Vadim in the club, his list of starlets (depicted) make up for his albeit sybaritic stuff. Purists may prefer the Janus collection after perusing strictlyfilmschool. If you really must have your man purse and movies too, we suggest Vanishing Point or LeMans. They don’t write books about car movies.
