I know this freebie thing is waning but the fave Criterion I have found through HUlu is The Devil And Daniel Webster. Really great RKO film full of excellent characters and amazing suspense. It made me want to go back to church ––– I don't know that any other movie has literally put the fear of God in me like this one did.
This sounds SUPER DUMB but a lot of Criterions are right out for me because of subs – I watch movies mainly to get schooled on some bit of culture, to have some fun, but also to have something going on while I knit, so I just can't catch all the subtitles. I am sure the more filmically pure are vicariously committing hari-kari here.
I would also recommend EQUINOX very highly if you like stop otion effects, B flicks with a heart, or occult phenomenon! It's a wonderful labor of backyard love and just a genuinely good movie.
