In for:

Onibaba

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
Girlfriends
Melvin Van Peebles Collection
Streetwise
Leave Her to Heaven (even though I have the TT, I'm sick)

Then, got my $50 code and went back because I forgot all about (!!!):

+ added Scorsese World Set #3, primarily for "Pixote" so I can retire my
old DVD.

I got it for $52 from Amazon last week with a coupon when they were matching Target’s B2G1.

I’m trash. I went back for a third order. I wanted Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, because I got All About My Mother & Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown last week from Amazon for $15 each and needed the third Almodóvar from Criterion! I also threw in Working Girls & The Cremator.

spatafore · 10-19-2021, 06:26 PM

The hard part to buy Criterion's now is how know if they will be re-release titles again in 4K UHD, I don't want re-buy later. Example: Beatles Hard Days Night.

I prefer the 4K UHD of everything.

Does Amazon ever price match the flash sales? I only ask as I have a few gift cards.

I'm still holding out for the Scream/Shout sale sometime this week.

The wife is going to be irked, but movies, you know?

They usually match the Barnes and Noble sales, the next of which will be November.

Shout has nothing I’m dying for, luckily. But that Arrow UK sale took some of my dollars! Those Second Run titles can be irresistible to me!

I've been really hoping they release a standalone for Pixote, however unlikely that may be. Excellent movie.

During Arrow’s UK site sale they put Second Run discs for sale. I picked up, Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea for £10.95, along with some Arrow movies.

oh thank you, I'll go to check.

FYI, the Zatoichi BD box is sold out.

I placed my order at 12:56 CST; it was sold out by 2:07 CST when I checked the page again.

Ya, I held off on it, too, in the slight hopes of a standalone. I don't really want to commit to these other films in the set, some of them may be good, but I prefer standalones, especially if the films aren't related in any way outside of Scorsese picking them. But I finally bit now anyway only because of the $50 coupon.

Plus, now my OCD may kick in as I will feel I need to get Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 now, as I just can't own Vol. 3!!!

I will see how I feel about the other films in Vol. 3 before ever going down that road, though.

1st order today put me over the $50 reward threshold. Already received the code, so will look to make another order later tonight or tomorrow:

Re-released and upgraded to BD!

That and Spirit of the Beehive are top of my wish list.

RojD · 10-19-2021, 08:16 PM

Had a real hard time getting the WKW set in the past, so for once in my life, I was ready. Ordered my whole wish list in the first 10 mins of the sale:

After Life
Ashes and Diamonds
Beasts of No Nation
Company
The Damned
High Sierra
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Love & Basketball
Melvin Van Peebles: Four Films
Mona Lisa
Nightmare Alley
Onibaba
Ratcatcher
Throw Down

Wasn't there some talk that Criterion might release Atlantics?

My haul almost tells a story in and of itself...yikes.
