Criterion Closet as a website – pull any of 1,247 films off the shelf

The Criterion Closet website lets users virtually browse and "pull" any of 1,247 Criterion Collection films from a digital shelf, recreating the experience of exploring the iconic physical closet. It is designed for film enthusiasts and Criterion fans who want a nostalgic, interactive way to discover or rediscover titles. The project is interesting because it transforms a beloved physical ritual into a playful, searchable digital archive that highlights the collection's depth and curation.
