A small order for me this time since I've been going nuts importing Eureka/Masters Of Cinema and Indicator titles now that I'm region-free. But I did order my five most coveted titles:

Owl, do you have pictures of your collection posted anywhere? Would love to see it. Your reviews (and movie tastes, I presume) are so diverse, it'd be oddly cathartic seeing everything all lined up together!

You might be disappointed

War and Peace, Fail Safe, and Do the Right Thing will do it for me this sale. Embarassed to admit I've never seen War and Peace, so looking forward to diving into that.

Ha! Well, that is one way to look at it. Literal catharsis from seeing Blu-rays may point to some deeper issues...

Professor Echo · 02-25-2020, 08:00 PM

I always check eBay and Bull Moose before finalizing my order on the off chance a title or two may be cheaper. Glad I did today as I got the VON STERBERG SILENT set BRAND NEW for $14.00 less than the $50 sale price at Critetion. No points, of course, but the savings is worth more to me at the moment.

My haul from the sale. I used a $50 gift certificate:

There's actually a specific reason I say that, but I'll let him tell you

I was a little surprised that out of everything in my cart The Fugitive Kind was OOS when I went to place the order around 1:30 central.

If anything, I thought Fail Safe might not be available by the time I got up.

But other than that it was smooth as could be. Added Code Unknown and click click click it was done.

chocolat · 02-25-2020, 08:49 PM

Cassavetes set is now unavailable. Glad I got my order in so early this morning

SuperFlyHighGuy · 02-25-2020, 09:31 PM

Damn I have bad luck with these sales. Planned to buy Three Colors Trilogy at this one and of course it's sold out already. See you in October!

KJones77 · 02-25-2020, 09:32 PM

Managed to get in an order during my lunch break shortly after the sale began, though the site going down then did have me frazzled lol. I did two orders this time around to trigger the $50 gift card for my rewards point. I ended up with...

Order 1:

Order 2:

jjlikesonions · 02-25-2020, 10:07 PM

If lots of people buy lots of Criterion releases, does it help go towards funding more future releases? If sales increased enough, would the rate/volume, selection, and quality increase? or would those stay the same and the employees and owners just make more money?

I'm not saying Criterion's popularity is increasing, but it kinda seems like it on google trends, reddit, youtube, etc.

octagon · 02-25-2020, 10:07 PM

Doh, totally missed Holiday.

Hmmmmmm....to go back or not to go back...

Who am I kidding

MifuneFan · 02-25-2020, 10:12 PM

If I got Roma n Holiday would Criterion get the hint
