Active B&N membership and the 10% wasn’t applying. The clerk had to add the discount manually. Not sure if this was a fluke but just an FYI to everyone

UK releases of all 3 are region free.

Glad to hear that Unobstructed View is updating their site but I'm still waiting for my Flash Sale order to be shipped, even though it's been over 2 weeks!

I’ve had some employees use coupons. It’s not guaranteed but you can sometime get a nice employee.

Anyone here have any strong thoughts on The Gunfighter?

I’m sure it’s a good movie, but does it have a lot of replay value?

...this would be a Stevie Wonder for me..

For all the Canadians, Unobstructed View is now having their own Criterion sale.

_Ewan_ · 11-06-2020, 04:23 PM

Thought the Fellini set might be price matched on Amazon, doesn’t seem to be yet :/

Luke Dodge748 · 11-06-2020, 05:50 PM

I just picked up The Great Escape and the Bruce Lee set, and did not get my membership discount. No biggie, but it feels good they are keeping the CC sales coming... Looking forward to about 3 more trips.

All in impeccable shape too.

A small but appetizing haul of blind-buys:

I've got an interesting DP.

I've just started the extensive process of upgrading all of my DVDs to BRs and have been waiting for this sale to buy the Criterions, as I was planning to buy a ton of titles. I saw a month or so ago that a new B&N membership perk was a one-time 20% off coupon, but that's no longer appearing on the membership page.

I called B&N today and the woman I spoke said that it hasn't been "officially" removed as a perk, and that she could manually add it after I placed my order. I then asked if it would work alongside the Criterion sale. She checked the T&C for the sale and said that nothing showed on her end that would restrict it.

I ended up ordering 40 films for an original total (incl. tax + $25 membership) for $914.12, and that 20% coupon knocked $183.22 off.

Hope this might help some of you out who aren't current members!

Director of Photography? Double-penetration?

Several pricematches on Amazon also have additional coupon savings that can be clipped. The Ingmar Berman set has an additional $18 off for instance.

Data Point.

CrossRhodes94 · 11-06-2020, 08:18 PM

How good is Destry Rides Again? I’ve never seen it. But thinking if blind buying that and Claudine from the 50% off sale

I did a blind rental of it & loved it so much that just bought it.

The structure, editing & camera language is fantastic, and worthy of multiple viewing for me on those notes alone. Much more of a psychological western than I thought it would be, and I mean that in a good way.

I would say it's 80-90% as good as High Noon and 3:10 to Yuma, so if you like those at all...

I don't know but the cowboy continuously calling Gregory Peck "Mr. Frazzlebottom" hasn't gotten old yet.

I've never really tried getting into it, but I'm very interested in Classic Hollywood. Any good beginner titles from Criterion I can pick up in the sale?

My personal recommendations for some pre-"New Hollywood":
