The Criterion Collection - Page 2707 - Blu-ray Forum

Went all blind buys and got:
The Complete Monterey Pop
The Leopard
The War Room
Vampyr
Really excited to see all of them, especially The Leopard. I try not to buy DVD's anymore, and now they will probably announce a bluray next month, but the script and story that comes with Vampyr sold me, plus the film just sounds awesome anyway.

Yay for flash sales, now I'm all caught up!

I mean, until October 2nd....

It is in a way but I live in Canada and they would ship to me but the shipping rates they have pretty much kill any deal they offer. I can only imagine how much they would charge to ship international, would probably make the deal worthless

zafisher94 · 09-24-2012, 07:23 PM

ugh, got the email and couldnt resist. That's $60 this college freshman shouldnt have spent.

I got:
- A Night to Remember
- Repulsion
-39 Steps

YEs, that sucks!

Decided to jump on the flash deal. It's my first time ordering directly from their site, so I hope it goes smoothly.

Wound up getting:

The 39 Steps
A Night to Remember
The Gold Rush
The Great Dictator
La Haine
World on a Wire

Out of these, World on a Wire and 39 Steps are blind-buys. Did I make a good choice there?

I don't really think you can go wrong with a Criterion film.

You must not have seen "Salo" yet.

Scottie · 09-24-2012, 07:44 PM

Nope, but it looks interesting.

It's on my list to watch (I own it) and just writing to inform that Eating Raoul just came in!!!

A blind-buy for you?

Good luck.

starman15317 · 09-24-2012, 07:51 PM

I'm tempted to buy something (like a Chaplin movie, perhaps) but after shipping, it comes to about the same price as used copies on Amazon and I really don't have the $$ this week.

JayElleNine · 09-24-2012, 07:54 PM

This was my first time ordering from Criterion's website and it looks like I picked a good time since they changed their shipping rates to Canada. I decided to get Complete Jean Vigo an Vivre sa vie. Still waiting for my order of Chungking Express and Playtime from B&N too.

The 39 Steps is fantastic. I haven't seen World on a Wire yet.

This Eating Raoul case is so bright that it's giving me a headache

DarkRyder · 09-24-2012, 08:08 PM

I'm pretty stuck on this set of bad boys:

Close-Up
Playtime
The Battle of Algiers
The Music Room
Late Spring
David Lean Directs Noel Coward
Children of Paradise
M
The Gold Rush
The Game
Eating Raoul
The 39 Steps
The Vanishing Lady
Lonesome
Quadrophenia
Walkabout
Traffic
Cul-de-sac
Senso
Kagemusha
Summer with Monika
Smiles of a Summer Night
Vivre sa Vie
Shock Corridor
The Naked Kiss
Last Year at Marienbad

Pearls of the Czech New Wave
America Lost and Found: The BBS Story

Any direction would be greatly appreciated

The Game and Traffic are a must.

ADD THEM TO YOUR CART NOW!

starman15317 · 09-24-2012, 08:12 PM

Chaplin is always worth it. I thought The Game was entertaining enough but it's not a movie that I personally want to buy. My two cents.

Awesome. I figured I can't go too wrong with Hitchcock.

Thoughts:

Playtime (pretty funny. Go check it out)
The Battle of Algiers (it's awesome. A must-see!)
David Lean Directs Noel Coward (I wasn't as impressed with this set as I thought I would be; In Which We Serve and Blithe Spirit were pretty good, didn't care for the other two that much)
M (I loved this one; should be a must-see)
The Gold Rush (it's a classic! Get it!)
The Game (disliked it, as did plenty of other folks)
The Vanishing Lady (you mean The Lady Vanishes? It's decent)
Traffic (I personally disliked it, but it seems like 99% of everybody else loves this, so don't take my word for it)
Kagemusha (long, but good)
