Bret Easton Ellis may be best known for his novels and short stories—including Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, and American Psycho, which was adapted as a film in 2000 and recently transformed into a musical that opened on Broadway in April 2016. But he’s also an avowed cinephile, and in addition to writing screenplays, he’ll soon be making a foray into film directing, with the forthcoming thriller The Deleted. He sent us his ten favorite Criterion films in alphabetical order, with the caveat that his list “could have been different last week and it might be different next week.”
