Actor and filmmaker Alex Winter, best known to generations as Bill S. Preston Esq. from the Bill and Ted films, walks into the Criterion closet and immediately reveals a cinephile with serious depth and range. His picks span Iranian cinema legends Abbas Kiarostami and Jafar Panahi, the surrealist genius of Luis Buñuel, whom he calls “the grand master of cinema,” and foundational works of silent comedy, all framed with the kind of specific, informed passion that makes this one of the most genuinely interesting Criterion closet visits in recent memory. Winter grew up in movie theatres, and every pick in this collection shows it.
