My Big Fat Independent Movie (Widescreen) : A film that touched the hearts of a generation and one of the most important movies of the decade... sounds really boring! If you want laughs, "My Big Fat Independent Movie" takes a comedic hammer to 30 different indie film faves like "Swingers," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Pulp Fiction," "Memento," and loads more! This hilariously smart satire tells the story of Johnny Vince, a swingin' hepcat who meets hitmen Sam and Harvey on a road trip to pull a "botched robbery" in Las Vegas. Along the way they take a deeply unfulfilled not-so-good-girl hostage (Huff's Paget Brewster), encounter the mysterious Mechanic (Clint Howard), get harassed by a foulmouthed answering machine (Jason Mewes)... and did we mention the lesbians? The result, hilarity ensues! "Scary Movie" spoofed horror, "Airplane" did it to disaster flicks, "Not Another Teen Movie" mocked uh, teen movies... now it's time for Independents to get theirs in this hilarious spoof that takes the highbrow world of independent film to an all-new low. Set of 7 Collectible Postcards, Audio Commentary with Director Philip Zlotorynski and W...

John Cassavetes: Five Films (Special Edition) : John Cassavetes has been called a genius, a visionary, and the father of independent film. But all this rhetoric threatens to obscure the humanism and generosity of his art. The five films included here represent his self-financed works made outside the studio system of Hollywood, on which he was afforded complete control. While about beatniks, hippies, businessmen, actors, housewives, strippers, club owners, gangsters, and children, all of them are beautiful, emotional testaments to compassion. Cassavetes has often been called an actor's director, but this body of work-even greater than the sum of its extraordinarily significant parts-reveals him to be an audience's director. We are proud to present stunning new transfers of "Shadows," "Faces," "A Woman Under The Influence," "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie," and "Opening Night." Criterion's eight-disc box set also featuring a wide range of supplemental materials, including new video interviews with key Cassavetes collaborators Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk, Seymour Cassel, Leila Goldoni, Lynn Carlin, and Al Ruban; a 17-minute alte...

Walden - Diaries, Notes And Sketches By Jonas Mekas: Special Edition Box Set (Full Frame) : Poet and hero of the American counter-culture, Jonas Mekas, born in Lithuania in 1922, invented the diary form of film-making. "Walden", his first completed diary film, an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s, is also a groundbreaking work of personal cinema. "Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing... 'Walden' contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order." - Jonas Mekas. "Jonas Mekas's films celebrate life. They rise up against the world's overwhelming commercialism, attempting instead to revive the pleasures of friendship, a first snowfall or the return of Spring. Mekas's genius stems from his generously including the viewer in his vision of the world, allowing us to (re)discover, in a simple image, the incredible force and necessity of poetry." - Yann Beauvais.
