For cinephiles and film enthusiasts, few things are as vexing as witnessing a renowned personality appear in Criterion's acclaimed 'Closet' for one of their regular video segments, only to depart with a bag that is less than half full. The fundamental essence of this long-standing video series—which permits celebrities to select as many discs as they desire from a repository containing the entire Criterion Collection, contingent on them discussing each chosen film—is to evoke the exhilarating spirit of Nickelodeon's 'Super Toy Run.' It caters to the aspirations of claustrophobic cinephiles, offering movie aficionados the opportunity to indulge lavishly in a multitude of cinema's most cherished works.

One might contend that many of these celebrated individuals likely already possess a substantial portion of these discs. Alternatively, some, much like Paul Giamatti during his notably restrained visit several years ago, might be so consumed by a sense of repression that they restrict themselves after acquiring only a handful of titles. Regardless of the underlying reasons, the sentiment among dedicated fans often leans towards disappointment when the full potential of the 'Closet' is not realized.

However, a recent appearance has brought a wave of satisfaction to the community: Oscar Isaac. This week, Isaac garnered widespread appreciation for truly embodying the spirit of the series, departing from that famed closet with a bag visibly overflowing, delighting fans who yearn for celebrities to fully embrace the opportunity to select an abundance of beloved films.
