The Criterion Collection

Thanks for the reply! It makes quite a bit of sense and I can definitely see it being released faster than Hoop Dreams.

Paris, Texas
Hoop Dreams
Heaven's Gate

Above is my first haul of the Criterion sale, I can't wait to dig into them!

[Infernal King]

Weekend (2011)
Kuroneko
Tokyo Story

will be mine by the end of the month. I'm also renting a few other Criterions in order to determine if there will be any other additions to my collection at this time.

[ThePhantom]

My first order from the sale (and first Criterion Blu-rays period):

• Sweet Smell of Success
• Kiss Me Deadly
• Dazed and Confused
• Paris, Texas
• Vivre Sa Vie

Can't wait to get them!

I believe it was on late last night / early this morning.

If I were you, I'd catch it on the TCM On Demand channel, as no one knows for sure if and when an upgrade will be coming.

I don't get it.

Maybe I need to watch The Godfather Part II again though.

I for one hope this only strengthens Criterion and makes them more powerful and solidified for years to come.

There may even be more frequent releases as well, rather than 5-6 a month.

I doubt they could release more than they do now, i mean they are putting an average of 72 films a year including individual films on box sets (probably close to 100 this year including the Zatoichi box set), is there even another company releasing more or close to that films per year?

As I understand Hoop Dreams was shot on SD video and probably won't make a transition to blu-ray.

[MTRodaba2468]

Made two orders with B&N today, one for pre-sales and one with currently released items.

Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman
Tokyo Story
City Lights
John Cassavetes: Five Films
3 Films By Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman
Eclipse Series #21: Oshima's Outlaw Sixties

All but the Eclipse set on Blu-Ray. There's a few other titles I'd like to grab, but those were the main ones I was wanting, and I'll have to wait until I get paid again.

What are the best horror blu rays criterion has put out? Or even anything in the nature of horror for the older days (psychological thriller, suspense, etc)

The List:

Anatomy of murder
Sweet smell of success
Double life of Veronique
Spy who came from the cold
Amarcord
Last temptation of Christ
Frances ha
Vivre sa vie
Life/death of Colonel Blimp
Battle of Algiers

Awesome thanks! That's pretty much the list I had compiled but I wanted to see if I was missing any. I own 7 of the ones you listed and plan on picking up the rest during the current B&N sale.

Dear christ I must get to a Barnes and Noble!
Why does the nearest one with a video section have to be in Seattle damnit!

Speaking of coupons, you wouldnt by any chance have a link to those would you?

[BLOFELD]

They cut off the coupon codes earlier today. Not a fan of B&N and their memberships.

Why? because they charge sales TAX.

I'd rather just wait for Amazon when they start blowing them out at the end of the year since I have prime.

What a hassle sending out a mass email offering 50% OFF criterion only to login and see only a select few crap titles.

See the first post on the Barnes and Noble Criterion Sale 11/5-12/2 discussion thread. There's a link in there to click on.
