As far back as the mid-eighties, Criterion has been responsible for restoring and preserving some of the most influential cinema across the world. Many of the now-classic titles it carries might have been lost to time otherwise, and the service has become a go-to for film collectors and aficionados everywhere. Despite this wonderful legacy, though, being the premier curator of international and arthouse cinema does mean that Criterion's reputation sometimes gets ahead of itself - "a film lover's dream" is indeed the site's tagline. Despite the wide array of films available in both the Collection and on the Channel, the service can certainly be intimidating for those who are just getting into classic/international cinema and don't know where to start. Here are some films streaming on the Criterion Channel that are both accessible and will give a great idea of what the service has to offer.
