Last year it was Criterion’s Janus Box Set, and this year we have an insanely extensive and expensive set of films by one of the country’s greatest (maybe the greatest) directors: John Ford. Man are these glorious times to be a cinephile.

Ford at Fox collects 24 of the maestros 50 films for the Fox studio (he made nearly 150 in his lifetime) including one of my personal Ford faves My Darling Clementine, and also The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, Drums Along the Mohawk, and a host of rarely seen titles.

The New York Times rightly refers to the set as more of an archive of vital American art and culture — akin to the Library of America series — than a regular old box o’ flicks.

The most insane part? They’re probably already working on a second volume…

Spread the word!
