Bottle Rocket

The latest in the Criterion Collection will be Wes Anderson's first movie, Bottle Rocket. FWIW, Bottle Rocket's my personal favorite of them all. I actually prefer all of his movies in reverse order of release. Bottle Rocket is one of the sweetest movies on friendship that I've ever seen, though. It's for movies like that one, in fact, that I tend to tell anyone who'll listen that we live in the Golden Age of film. (I overuse that phrase, as you can tell. We also live in the Golden Age of Television). (ht to kottke)

On a different note, is anyone else sort of surprised that none of Tarantino's films have received the Criterion treatment? Weird.
