For the most part my collection (Eclipse aside) is blu only. At the end there are DVD copies of Six Moral Tales, Patriotism, and Vampyr.

If you mean on the top shelf, the discs facing out with the big C's on them are the 2 DVD volumes of 99 Reasons.

ccfixx, in a rare appearance, beat me to it. If i recall, Volume one was sent for a period time free of charge with any Criterion.com order, and then Volume 2 was available the same way later on at B&N with any Criterion purchase.

$30 asking price

I could throw together the same disc but in HD on blu-ray for a fraction of the cost. The seller may get a completionist to bite on that one.

Is that the episode where Nelson says of Naked Lunch "That film title was misleading in two ways"? Class!

I took advantage of the B&N sale are grabbed It Happened One Night and Lavventura for the price of one Criterion blu ray and then some. Glad pre-orders counted

If you are interested in incredibly overlooked films from around the world, then yes.

I hate everyone on this thread who are in America.

Just going to sit and sulk and look at the normal prices on eBay.

WAAAAAH

Bought load of these shelves as they were on sale for £2 lol end of stock I think but yeah sorting out my collection and am thinking of putting all the booklets/books on them as a display

Plus lets me show off the stunning artwork, especially for those in boxsets that you don't see much!

Heres one of them:



Oh that artwork above is 2001: A Space Odyssey, basically each horizontal line is 1 minute of the film and the entire film is displayed, its stunning in person!

And my sexy Zatoichi + AK 100! - Wanted to keep book out and have it all on display as its gorgeous, plus makes it easier to access the book and films without too much handling!

(Metropolis is on display as I love the artwork and I haven't got any other MoC so can't put on a shelf alone! haha)



Someone else shared their pics, so thought i'd share a couple

Found it in a film shop in Manchester, UK - they had other works too, wa a bit pricey £95 for print + £60 for the frame but they are limited prints by this Designer Brendan Dawes (Some of these work are on display at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York - if anions there i'd say check them out if they are still there because those ones are HUGE and will be amazing to see!

Ah its £150 now, but as I said they are limited prints and they are signed/numbered.

They also sell load of unique film posters does by other artistes/designers and some of them are really impressive, I'd move to Manchester just for this shop! haha!

Yeah i've been eyeing up a lot of their stuff but been sticking with Criterion purchases of enow an letting that collection grow. They have a lot more films I want in my collection so I want to stick with them - was also a bit weary of MoC (dunno why) on their quality and stuff, but having got this film (despite the artwork being slightly off print) its incredible and I will be getting a lot more soon!

They have a lot of films not in the Criterion Collection tat I really want - I just like focusing on one place for now due to money and stuff haha.

MoC have a lot of awesome films though and they are super cheap so will probs do a big shopping spree when I get paid haha! I have missed out on some great film by limiting myself. I have been buying standard blurays of film though so I have't just limited myself to Criterion haha - I just ant to get through my Criterions, watch them, enjoy them and get through supplements and stuff, I think the MoC releases would collect dust while I do that haha!
