Re: Fake Criterion Covers
Hey, thanks guys! The cover for A Man Escaped was the first I did, being the film I'm most dying to see Criterion release. Here's a few more I did for fun, although The Conformist came out a bit more Salo than fascist headquarters for my liking. It is rather hard to find high quality stills from any movie made before, say, 2005.

oh man, that is great.
But, being how this is one of my favorite films and I would kill to see it added to the Collection, I don't like my emotions being played with. [-(

Is this what we get for putting up with Swimminghorses? Jesus, I've never seen such a compressed collection of fabulosity. That Stalker cover is perfection.

I really don't think you can get better than the lettering used for the title sequence.

I like the artwork for In a Lonely Place. Good job on Stalker.

Re: Fake Criterion Covers
I'm not that happy with the font, but I think the rest turned out well.

Is it me or Oggilby's last pic isn't the right size?

Re: Fake Criterion Covers
Stop Making Sense, you give MoC a run for their money with your Stalker, Man Escaped and Night of the Hunter covers. I'm also very fond of the Paris Nous Appartient artwork. The folks at Criterion Towers should take note! =D>

Re: Fake Criterion Covers
Those all look like legitimate releases of films Criterion could actually put out. Except of course for that last one, which belongs in a Fake Covers for Fake Films by Directors That Don't Exist thread.
