Criterion Collection available on iTunes!

Movie iTunes by

If you are a fan of the Criterion Collection, I have some good news for you. A select few of the films from the collection have begun to appear on the iTunes movie page. iTune availability is starting out small, only 46 titles are available which is fewer than the 150 films that Hulu Plus started out with. Don't worry you can watch the classics like Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, or Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows. You can rent films for $2.99 or buy for $14.99.

The only downside is that there are no special features on iTunes. The whole reason for me having my Rushmore Criterion collection is the extensive special features. Special features could easily be made available on iTunes, but there are no plans at this time to do so. Out of my extensive DVD collection I only own one or two Criterion discs. I am not a fan of the majority of the films in the collection so I have no interest in buying or renting them.

What are your thoughts on this news? Are you planning on renting/buying any Criterion titles via iTunes?
