Agh! Just what my wallet DIDN'T need - an amazing Criterion sale! So far I've only grabbed Richard III..but I have an eye on The Blob, Rosemary's Baby and The Times of Harvey Milk. Hopefully I can resist!

The current Best Buy/ Amazon sale. I assume that's who it is.

Would like to catch the ones that are running low before it's too late.

I'm thinking of getting Repulsion, as it was released back in 2009.

Army of Shadows
Le Cercle Rouge
Chungking Express
Last Year At Marienbad
Leon Morin, Priest
Man Who Fell To Earth
Pierrot Le Fou
Playtime (no longer OOP)
Third Man

I'm not a B&N member, so I'm thinking this may be just as cheap to do my spending during this sale.

What's Best Buy's shipping time like? Never ordered from them before.

Forgive me for asking, but why buy the DVD unless its not been upgraded to blu?w

I think he's talking about titles not yet upgraded. I do agree with him too, the MSRP for the DVD's should be lowered.

12 Angry Men and The Great Dictator are wonderful films. Weekend is also very good. Haven't seen the others but you can't go wrong with any of the three.

I have been thinking about starting to get some criterion blurays. I was wondering is the following Nolan's first movie he's directed? I have never heard or seen that one.

12 Angry Men should definitely be one of the purchases.

After that, I'd personally go with Repo Man, because it's so fun.

[Hawkguy]

I can't decide on what to buy. Haven't bought any release since Repo Man.

[dizzy4111]

Decided to snag Paris, Texas from the Best Buy sale. Really, really tempted to grab Videodrome and Medium Cool as well but I'm trying to get caught up on my viewing before I buy more stuff.
