Any suggestions based on my own private Criterion collection (in sig)? My wallet hopes not but my $10 credit hopes so..

You've only got one Godard in there, but I would suggest grabbing one of his films. My first choice would be Breathless.

Sweet, I've been holding onto a $50 gift card I got for Christmas from Criterion... finally caught up on all the 2013 releases.

Grrrr

Missed out on Ivan

Scottie · 02-26-2013, 05:22 PM

I only own:

Eclipse Series 5: The First Films Of Samuel Fuller
Eclipse Series 6: Carlos Saura's Flamenco Trilogy
Eclipse Series 11: Larisa Shepitko
Eclipse Series 13: Kenji Mizoguchi's Fallen Women

What ones would you guys strongly recommend for me?

ccg1978 · 02-26-2013, 05:22 PM

Fudge, I'm going to hold off for now. Have spent too much money this month! I actually added On the Waterfront, M, Wages of Fear, Walkabout and The Seventh Seal before closing the page! I'll wait for my birthday in June and hope for a sale.

All of them!

You guys really need to jump on Belle De Jour, The Double Life Of Veronique, Down By Law, and The Three Colors Trilogy.

There's a Criterion.com sale every February and September (or so it seems).

There's a BN sale every July and October.

If you haven't seen these three yet, you're in for a huge treat. All are in my top 10-15 films int he collection.

I know. He told us yesterday he was holding off on buying Blu-rays until the 19th of March so that Badlands can be his 200th.

I wouldn't be able to pass this sale without something

Sukuri · 02-26-2013, 05:35 PM

It pains me to see that they've stopped shipping with DHL and went back to UPS Worldwide superbullshit Saver. Would anyone happen to know the reason for this?

Doesn't even save me from possible duty =(

ccg1978 · 02-26-2013, 05:46 PM

do you get anything for your first purchase from Criterion? How much do you need to spend to get these $50 gift cards?

Every dollar spent = 1 point

500 points = $50 gift card
