What's everyones thoughts on Le Cercle Rouge? Worth a blind buy?

Fanny and Alexander
The Rules of the Game
My Life as A Dog
Island of Lost Souls
Vigo Collection
The Four Feathers
The Killing

I thought it was a great movie, although I liked Army of Shadows better. I bought it blind, so yeah I'd say a blind buy should be safe. If you like heist movies, even better.

Absolutely!
Awesome heist film with Delon, Volante and Montand.
Everything about this film is cool :D

Harakiri is a masterpiece and essential for every Criterion lover, in my opinion. So good, even though I have the Eureka version.

So what's the deal with the Harakiri transfer? It's cropped compared to the other blu release. Is this more accurate to the original presentation?

lol no. MoC just plain beat Criterion this time around where the feature is concerned.

The only question I can ask then is Why? Shouldn't more people be concerned by this? What is the purpose of cropping it other than it being a mistake, and in that case, shouldn't more people be contacting them regarding a replacement of some sort?

It's just the way Criterion did it, so they're not gonna replace anything. Eureka had the right idea for Harakiri, which is why I picked up their version, although it does look like the Criterion's picture quality is better than Eureka's, from what I've seen.

Godzilla on a Criterion blu?

:eek:

13 items currently in my B&N basket in preparation for the sale :worried:

...and that isn't including the titles I wanted to catch up on (Chaplin) or the few last minute impulse purchases I may in the sale!
It's ridiculous how much I look forward to this sale though :drool: Haven't even finished watching all the titles and special features from the last one :unimpressed:

I'm limiting myself to about 5 titles this sale, since I bought 3 when I was down in the states 2 weeks ago. That will leave me with 17 titles left on my wishlist, with 4 of them being December's releases. I need to split my orders in two, so I don't get dinged via customs.

Speaking of Criterion, Carnival of Souls came on TCM last night. I PVR'ed it.
