Added a few to the collection with todays sale!

Following

[Archedamian]

Ended up getting:

The Last Emperor Replacement Case
Fantastic Mr. Fox
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Thief

Wanted to get King of the Hill but it was backordered until mid-March.

[jeloid]

couldn't resist:

La Vie de Boheme

Autumn Sonata

Charulata

The Secret Life of Colonel Blimp

[smoss469]

I know this will get lost with the order updates but I just finished Thief for the first time. Wow, what a visually stunning movie. The opening scene with the Chicago Street in the rain is just a delight of neon and street light reflections, one of the more visually pleasing and vivid movies I've seen in a while. Loved the plot and the ending was great!

I highly recommend it. (Based on the posts in the thread since noon, looks like a lot of you will be getting it!)

Glad you liked it! The transfer is a miracle, you should have seen the DVD release.

I still haven't gotten through that set, it's a tiring experience.

They're great films, but man is it taking awhile to get though them.

I'm really looking forward to this, I've heard so many good things about it, I really wanted it during the BN sale but the car decided it needed some costly repairs.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to buy it. Owl was talking about Film Noir this morning and got me in the mood for some new ones.

As Beta said, most people probably want to take advantage of the free shipping by making multiple purchases in one order. The fairest way, however, is for each order to have an equal chance regardless of the purchase.

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
If you want to change the world
There's nothing to it.

It probably would, but assuming I watch only some of the features and all the movies then it should at least get me through until the next flash sale in September.

From their website:

Thank You!

Criterion-related by a degree of separation...

Have all of you seen this new trailer for the 2014 version of Godzilla?

(It's Criterion-related because Juliette Binoche stars in the movie, of course.)
