my 50% B&N was tax free as well , and with amazon and ebay it always works out to be below the custom free limit.

I remember when I first sat down to watch Eyes Without A Face I didn't know anything about the film. Holy crap! You should have seen me sitting there with my mouth agape, staring in disbelief when that scene began. I was like, Wait a minute, this is a film from 1960, right?

I received a 20% coupon in my email inbox yesterday too! It's great to be receiving 20% coupons instead of 15% ones, now that I renewed my membership (well, actually created a brand new one using a different email address/name). I might very well drop by B&N this Sunday to use this coupon on something (if not Criterion, then another Blu-ray that is drastically reduced in price that I've been meaning to buy for a while).

I don't know anything about the film and now I don't want to until I see it!

I cannot wait to read more people's thoughts on this movie next month.

Anyone read this? I'm thinking about getting it, but the price is a little too high for me to buy it without hesitation.

I can't wait to re-visit it. It was on my wishlist for awhile. I just have to be patient and wait until either Amazon or B&N have another 50% sale, or I get lucky on eBay.

I just remember seeing it on TV during the '60s in it's dubbed version of The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus. Pretty strong stuff even in it's cut (not a pun!) version. I also remember it started a trend of Plastic Surgeon Killers like The Awful Dr. Orloff and Circus of Horrors, all of which really creeped me out when I was young. Something about those scalpels going into flesh........

Same here. Maybe it's just because I hang out at this site so much, but it feels like Eyes... will be collecting a substantial number of new diehards now that it will be on blu.

Hehe. It's also just in time for my 1960's poll

On dvd: Videodrome

On blu ray: House

Herry Dunston · 09-20-2013, 12:36 AM

Funny enough, both my first DVD and my first blu-ray happens to be the same title: Seven Samurai (I had to upgrade the DVD for the blu-ray, though).

My first Criterion blu's were these, all ordered at the same time.
Summer Interlude (the reason I decided to get a region free player)
Seventh Seal
400 Blows
Les Diaboliques
The Magician

On DVD it was: Seven Samurai & Ivan's Childhood

LD: #69 Blade Runner and then possibly Floating Weeds (I know I got Floating Weeds early in my LaserDisc collecting since that was my first Ozu)
DVD: Brazil
BD I can't remember so its either The Man Who Fell to Earth, Bottle Rocket or Chungking Express

Edit: Its Blade Runner for LD and The Man Who Fell to Earth for BD (finally remember correctly)

Side note
I don't seem to be getting any coupons from B&N and I didn't have to renew my membership it was done automatically. Would there be anything wrong with my account? I could really use some coupons

Oh God! I have a hard time remembering yesterday but I'll try:

LD-Supercop-My Jackie Chan; Michelle Yeoh phase. I got it because of the stunt work and the fact it was not dubbed. I didn't get many Criterion LDs but one of the others was Pink Flamingos! A perfect companion for Salo.

DVD-Good Morning-I'll be honest, when I got this I had no idea who Ozu was

but I was intrigued by the description and the cover artwork.

Blu-ray-I ordered three from B&N-Walkabout, Days of Heaven, and Red Desert. The first two were upgrades and the Antonioni was a blind buy but I loved his other films so.......

My first specifically bought from the Collection was on Bluray which was A Night To Remember and Diabolique. It was then I decided to try more
