Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Zatoichi box set? It doesn't look too large or oddly shaped. Trying to make sure I have room.. or rather make room for the set.
I couldn't find any measurements online, but I did find this photo in someone's collection to make a comparison. It is a large set, but not bulky IMO.

Thanks for that picture, really shows how it sits. Looks nice on the shelf.
Thanks, going to use that and the picture to measure it out at home tonight! And yes, it looks amazing!
Excuse the quality but this is how I display my bigger boxsets :P looks much nicer imo especially when the boxset is different size to everything on shelf
(sorry about the the unorganised films, not had a chance to sort out or get new stands (for the steelbooks))
I have three other shelves in my room for my other bigger boxsets

I do a little bit of the same with some of my larger box sets. Kind of like this one, though this shelf now as the '66 Batman TV series on it as well.

Great, I already have two of the titles, and don't plan on getting The Merchant of Four Seasons, but at least that means Criterion will probably release all those others over the following years.
I spent a ton during the last few FoxConnect 50% Off sales, so I'm stocked up on the classic older films on Blu-ray... Laura, The Apartment, Blood and Sand, the Marilyn Monroe films, All About Eve, the Elia Kazan box sets, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, etc.
It's a shame that Fox has slacked off on releasing the older stuff lately.
Twilight Time has picked up the slack with the Fox Film Noir series on Blu-ray, apparently, since House of Bamboo was recently released by them, and Where the Sidewalk Ends will be released in early 2016.
Exactly ... I may be mistaken, but I don't think that Fox has released a "classic" catalog title since The Razor's Edge (1946) came out this past January. I found six titles that I wanted for myself, and then picked up a couple more to give as Christmas gifts. If Fox doesn't get busy and put out some more catalog titles, I'm not going to need or want anything when the next Flash Sale rolls around ... and that's sad since 20th Century-Fox is my favorite studio from the "Golden Era".
The Apu Trilogy is coming. Got an email this morning and had $10 taken off from Amex. They have a shop small business promo this month, so I'm pretty hyped to be receiving that in the mail some time next week.
You're marooned on a desert island for the rest of your life with a blu-ray player, a giant HD flatscreen, some mysterious never-ending power source and ten Criterion blu-rays.
...which ten would you choose?
Three Colors
Fanny & Alexander
Seven Samurai
Seventh Seal
Repulsion
Rosemary's Baby
Sweet Smell of Success
Nashville
M
Children of Paradise (video issues aside)

Not to mention having Fallen Angel and Whirlpool in the pipeline as well.
I've only done a couple of previous FoxConnect flash sales. I'm way behind on accumulating their Studio Classics releases, the Rogers & Hammerstein musicals, and a handful of random titles.

Meh. Doesn't Arrow know Criterion has released some of those already? Why bother?
