Not sure if this has been discussed, but was it a misprint or something for the 12 Angry Men front cover where Juror #11 and 12 are in the wrong place?

Thanks, I'll consider it

Just finished watching Kuroneko for the first time, what seemed like an average title after flicking through it (something I always do, lol) I was immediately engrossed after the first 10 minutes & found it hard to take a break until it finished. Great movie!

I'm unsure if I'll buy it though whilst its semi-cheap on Amazon, if it were ~$10 I'd probably nab it to influence people into asian classics! They don't make them like this anymore

I think Criterion should have a 75% off sale

Its the only way I can avoid spending so much time thinking about it. I want Gojira too

Got these in the mail today, 30 bucks for all. Time Bandits is OOP and I opted for the DVD of The Last Emperor because it's superior in content. This brings me to 192 spine numbers.

Good point! I have Rules of the Game staring me in the face right now and I just can't seem to pull the trigger since it's a blind buy. Anyone seen it or own it?

Where are you getting 4 used (unless you opened them before you took this pic, either way, they look to be in great condition) for $30?

Don't worry it's a better addiction then most in any case. I just learn to control myself long ago about it, use to just spend way to much on movies. I am more careful now but on this site, I think you are pretty much a casual buyer. I have seen post where I am left wondering how can someone spend so much money on one Tuesday just for movies

All cool as I don't have to pay for it of course

By all means pull the trigger! The movie was so well done the Nazis had to ban it in France. That should tell you something.

Thanks for that. Was there a reason as to why Samurai got a different case from all the other Criterion titles?? It feels kind of random, I think. Is the film good?? I've been interested in watching it for some while now. In a nutshell, what is it about?? I'd love to know

Are you saying empty dvd cases because I know that they are dvds. I don't know about the rest of you all but I still buy more dvds than anything else.

A seller on another forum. And these all were basically brand new. There wasn't even a crushed corner on The Last Emperor box. I have the I Am Curious... set on the way for 16 bucks new as well.

It's not different from all other Criterion titles.... see also: "Breathless" "Night of the Hunter" "Amarcord" and many others.

It's more than one disc, and Criterion's Scanovo clear-plastic cases they use are only single disc.

In a nutshell, it's about a town that gets ransacked by evil doers, so they hire 7 samurai to fight them off.

Also, "Yes" the film is good.

in short, one of the best films ever made. it's lengthy, but every second of it is magical. you don't need to know more about it, just get the blu.
