I can only speak for myself, but that cover is f*cking bad-ass.

And that flash sale Criterion usually has at the end of February just got more expensive for me.

Holy hell what a month

Great month.

Nice! Both cuts of "Tom Jones" in one package! And such a terrible-looking cover!

It is a great deal and I am happy to say I’m going to head to B&N soon to pick up Tokyo Story because I saw it for the first time on Filmstruck the other day and loved it!

Definitely in for Night of the Living Dead, Silence of the Lambs and Elevator to the Gallows. February never, ever disappoints. Bring on that February flash sale.

[BagheeraMcGee]

Looking over the February announcements, it's as if the good folks at Criterion huddled up together and said, "You know what would be really fun to do with this month's titles, guys and gals? Make some serious money."

[MassiveMovieBuff]

That Silence of the Lambs cover is pretty sweet

The whole movie looks like a high school play to me. I'm not gonna go into it because it's probably moot to all sides, I thought I was gonna love it. The opposite happened. Just my own tastes I guess.

I'm sorry, I can't let this slide.

The music?! Morricone's score for The Untouchables is absolutely amazing, and one of the best of all time.

October in February!

Really disappointed that Silence is not a 4K UHD, sine we know that’s coming down the line a blu doesn’t make much sense.
