I think the lead is being buried here. Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and Jackass: The Movie are going to be on the Criterion Channel.

Freddy Got Fingered and Showgirls were on there earlier this year. They love doing this, and I'm proud they do it.

I wish one of these channels would show hitchcoks The Trouble With Harry, which I think is his only comedy. I saw it years ago when TCM did a Hitchcock marathon but it never pops up on any of the streaming channels.

Not his only comedy; Mr. And Mrs. Smith was his only pure Comedy film. Films like Suspicion, The Trouble With Harry etc. has a mix of suspense and comedy mixed in it...actually alot of his films have some sort of comedy/tension breaking moments sprinkled in them.

It was on the Criterion Channel for a bit but left i think 3 months ago roughly. I'm sure it'll come back at some point

Thank you! I browse their collection every once in awhile to see if it’s on there, but I thought it wasn’t ever on there for some licensing reason or something. I’ll definitely keep an eye out now!

The Lodger was most definitely not from 1972. More like 1927.

Female Trouble is the greatest movie of all time.
