The site crashed and I was only able to place my order AFTER IAMMMMW sold out. Ugh, gonna be a long wait for my Fantastic Fox, Mad World, Foreign Correspondent order.

If I go around for a second time, I'll get Tess, Seconds, and To Be or Not To Be. Gotta figure out if my wallet'll take it tho

Sorry, and good luck on the next possible order. Tess may sell out soon as well, it's on the selling fast list.

Finally got my order through: Foreign Correspondent, The Leopard (which I have been meaning to get forever) and Throne of Blood. Long live the Flash sales!

[The Great Owl]

I just placed my order...

Design for Living
I Married a Witch
Pickup on South Street (DVD)
Blast of Silence (DVD)

$64.88 total.

The site is slow right now, but it works!

Been meaning to get my Son and Daughter those..... I will randomly order something in a few weeks for fun, and include those!

[manunited1]

Kept it affordable against my will, only grabbed two... Badlands and La Haine

[edcresdee]

Is it likely that prices on Amazon.com will also drop during the next 24 hours? I'm a UK buyer so I'd normally only buy during the B&N sale, but if Amazon/ebay sellers lower prices I can get some now too

Gld you got in Owl. I think you'll really enjoy I Married a Witch. And I may have to check out Pickup on South Street and Design for Living.

I just saw that they had kids sizes this week, so I am glad I was able to time it with the flash sale and get free shipping.

I pondered grabbing some Criterion T-shirts, but I spent too much money on Morrissey tickets and some other movie purchases this week to make room for that. I'd like a "C" logo shirt at some point, though.

Safety Last
Last Emperor
Lonesome
The Blob
Lady Vanishes

All Blurays. Site very slow.

[callmestu]

Just put my first order in with CRITERION...ended up being a mega-haul (my biggest ever BY FAR), including:

* Three Colors: Trilogy
* The Night of the Hunter
* Fanny and Alexander - Box Set
* The Battle of Algiers
* In the Mood for Love
* Tokyo Story
* Kiss Me Deadly
* Badlands
* Thief
* It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
* The Last Emperor
* The Wages of Fear
* Rififi
* Throne of Blood
* The Rules of the Game
* Tess

Plus a couple of random extras....

* Blu-ray Replacement Case: The 400 Blows
* Clear Blu-ray Case (5-pack)

Just crept over the 500 point threshold (total was $501.34!) so I got a Gift Code! Will wait and pick up The Hidden Fortress & Persona druring the next 50% sale!

Went a bit mad but I think that covers pretty much everything on my Wish List.

I'm based in London and I usually get my Criterion releases from Amazon due to ease of shipping...

However, I am using a friend of a friend based in North Carolina who is going to ship the bundle over to the UK for me... Any suggestions on the safest/cheapest shipping option?

Also, is there anything I can get my friend to mark the package with ('gift' or something) which may help avoid customs?

Now I need to go have a lie down and think about how I'm going to pay for all this lot...

All the best from a Criterion fan on the other side of the pond.

A suggestion/request for Criterion: How about offering a Criterion *sweatshirt* for those of us living in colder climates?

For whatever reason, in general, design T-shirts seem to be all over the place, but not so much love for sweatshirts. (Just a thought).

Yeah, I'm thinking of grabbing the "C" shirt and mug later this year. I have this coffee mug addiction I need to feed.

Good luck!


Is this new? I don't recall this during past Flash Sales.

I don't think Criterion has done this before. And I seriously hope they do this every time they do a flash sale going forward! I hope I can win me a golden ticket.

Ordered Fox, IMMMMW, and Jules et Jim.
CC wouldn't go through at first, got me very paranoid that I'd miss out on one of the titles, but I was able to correct everything in time.

[bladelia]

I've just ordered the following

BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
THIEF
YOJIMBO/SANJURO
RIFIFI
INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION
TESS
A CHRISTMAS TALE
SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT

All for $187, can't be bad. I really wanted IAMMMMW, but I was too late.
I'm getting them sent to my friend in Miami, and I'll pick them up in May, when I'm over.
At least their website lets you put in an international billing address, even though they don't ship abroad

[atfree]

Ordered:

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
The Great Dictator

Would've ordered more but the past few months of blu's (IAMMMMW, Foreign Correspondent, plus about 10 other non-Criterion releases) have put a serious dent in my pocket book. I'm now getting the "you ordered another blu-ray?" look from my wife when the mail arrives!!!

[lordmorpheus72]

Looks like Tess and King of the Hill are Sold Out now too...
