When browsing the media section at Barnes & Noble, one may find themselves drawn to a section filled with classic and contemporary films bearing the name Criterion Collection. While some of these titles carry worldwide recognition and others more on the obscure side, they all share two things in common - their expensive price tag and cult-like following among cinema lovers. Whether talking to a film buff at your favorite low-key movie theater or a recent film graduate looking to impress anyone in earshot with his or her expansive film knowledge, the Criterion brand carries a lot of weight and will likely be brought up more than once under the proper circumstances.
