It's Valentine's Day, which means you should skip out on the chocolates, the lovemaking, and basically what everyone else is doing to stay home and watch an awesome movie instead. I suggest Hideo Gosha's 1964 chanbara (sword fighting) film Three Outlaw Samurai, which is out on Criterion Collection DVD and Blu-ray today.It's Valentine's Day, which means you should skip out on the chocolates, the... more

This past week we were treated to a joining of two of our most talked about topics on CriterionCast: Hulu unveiled a channel devoted to the Criterion Collection. While this is certainly cause for celebration, they have only added 6 Zatoichi (the Blind Swordsman) films. This generated a collective head scratching across the internet, as these Zatoichi films have never been hinted at receiving the Criterion treatment. This also is but a tiny sampling of the Zatoichi series (you can currently find dozens of films, over the course several decades, on Netflix).
You might be thinking to yourself, “self, this is pretty weak news, seeing as how these films aren’t technically in the Criterion Collection?” You would be correct in this train of thought, that is, until next month when theoretically we could see said box set named. Now, you could be this negative nabob, or you, like I, could go and dig a little deeper into those films available on Hulu, and discover that there were already several Criterion Collection films which you can stream for free right this very second.
Below you’ll find, in no particular order, seven films contained within the Criterion Collection, that are available to watch right now on Hulu. This was a list that I wrote up several months ago, so there may have been even more films added to this list. If you know of any more, feel free to add links to the comments below. Also, share this list with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, thus spreading the joy of the Criterion Collection across the world.

Sleek, stylized and distinctive, the cover art for each Criterion Collection DVD is often a masterpiece unto itself. The series has inspired countless online odes, as well as a slew of imitators who enjoy immersing themselves in Photoshop and re-envisioning how they might have designed an existing cover, as well as creating covers of films that should and should never — we’re singling out you, “Mediaperson,” for Criterion-izing Shaquille O’Neal’s “Steel” — be a part of the Criterion Collection.
