first thing i noticed was Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which is absolutely electric
looks like they have a fantastic collection of Asian filmmakers: Wong Kar Wai (moody, romantic), Hirokazu Koreeda (deeply humanizing, works with child actors), Bong Joon Ho (always a fun time), Apichatpong Weerasethakul (atmospheric and weird af)
they have a bunch of oscar films too. highly recommend Past Lives

A streaming goldmine for cinephiles, Criterion Channel is the antidote to superhero fatigue. I may not like everything but I always learn something and very often fall in love with cinema all over again. Some Favorites: In the Mood for Love starring the impossibly beautiful Maggie Cheung; Jean-Luc Godard on the Dick Cavett show; and Everybody Rides the Carousel, a trippy animated film by John and Faith Hubley. The film is based on the psychologist Erik Erikson’s theories of human development from birth to death. The hand painted watercolors are a feast for the eyes. The mostly jazz score features the legends Dizzy Gilespie and Benny Carter. It has some of the best voice acting I’ve ever heard in a film. In fact, I think I’m going to watch it again tonight. (I have to h/t my daughter Mathilda for introducing me to the film.)
