Saw a good one that just showed up on The Criterion Channel called Gloria. It's a John Cassavettes movie. It's about an ex mobster woman that is trying to hide a young boy the mob is after (the boy's dad worked for the mob and things went sideways)

Also saw another Sidney Poitier movie on Criterion that I liked called The Slender Thread. It's about a college student (Sidney) who works part time at a suicide hotline. He's very inexperienced at this and basically just fills in when the others are out. He gets a call from a woman who is trying to kill herself and has taken a bunch of pills. She wants to talk to him but won't give any information about where she's at or who she is. So the movie is Sidney trying to get information out of this woman so he can get rescue people to her. It's a very tense movie. It's from 1965 and wait until you see how difficult it was to attempt to trace a call in 1965. :)
I loveJohn Cassavetes. I think he is very underrated. Or maybe I just don't travel in circles that would champion him. He's so good.

Both of these sound great. I will definitely put them in my lineup and watch them.
