So far I've grabbed the following during the current Criterion sale at Barnes and Noble:

The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Eraserhead
The Vanishing
The Killers
The Shooting / Ride the Whirlwind

I can (if being reasonable, which isn't guaranteed) purchase three more this weekend without completely obliterating my budget. I'm considering the following:

Macbeth
My Darling Clementine
Sword of Doom
Cries and Whispers
Vengeance is Mine
Odd Man Out

Any suggestions/opinions?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Definitely go for Cries and Whispers. It's such a visceral film, and it looks astounding in high-definition. It's also Bergman, and you really can't go wrong with Bergman.

Clementine

These are the essentials.

But that's certainly not a child's face in the picture.

And it only hints at the person being deaf, not mute.

I don't see how. There's nothing about it that suggests a film set in WW2.

Actually, it doesn't even do that. It hints at the person being blind, not deaf or mute.

Thanks for asking!

Just sending out an FYI ... Gene Tierney's films will be featured on TCM tomorrow afternoon and evening. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Leave Her To Heaven will be one of them. http://www.tcm.com/schedule/index.ht...ate=2015-08-01

Also, I saw the following interview from 1979 posted on a TCM related Facebook page, and thought that the Gene Tierney fans in here might like to see it too. (EDIT: If you skip to about the 15:15 mark, she starts talking about Leave Her To Heaven and Laura). Here you go:

It appears the man in the drawing is not the only one who is blind.

He rescues Barry and takes him in as his apprentice, and Barry begins dressing like him. It has been a long time since I have seen that movie, but I remember the foppish makeup and wigs. I don't recall if there is a blindfold (did they play a game of some sort?)

Welp, that's what I get for trying to multi task.

Hmmm, ya think? (except Bach's forehead is a little higher)

Grabbed these on my last trip of this sale. Wanted to get The Vanishing & Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion but they didn't have them in stock.
