Oh, there's a Facebook App from criterionforums.org. Looks pretty awesome, gonna try it out.

I just print this up. It has all titles sorted by spine number and can also be sorted for Blu-Ray. I'm sure it could be turned into an excel file fairly easy.

I think kndy has a pretty sweet excel document that he used to share on here as well. I just wanted something electronic that was easy to navigate on my phone, so I didn't have to worry about keeping a stack of papers with me or a long list of numbers.
Thanks for the wiki link though.
Criterionforums.org also has a really nice listing of all the OOPs.

I noticed these two DVD's are a great price, Night and Fog for 7.49 and The Red Balloon/White Mane for 9.99, are these worthy purchases?

Night and Fog is only a 32 min documentary. That's why it's so cheap. Never seen it but I hear it's a very good Holocaust documentary.

Ahh, the Facebook app sucks. Apparently when you click add to collection, you cannot add to your collection. it's nothing but a pretty list of Criterion covers.

Back to excel for me.

I hope he is making better $ now, one can hope, since he's better actor than many of the mega bucks stars out there.

Actually, that was his choice to have that lifestyle of going back and living off the land. He chose to live that lifestyle and probably uses a lot of his money when he goes to town for doctor, medication or drugs.

Yeah, you can....do quick add and it will list them numerically.

Was going to order more Criterion but Hollywood Video final days and the foreign films (actually all core DVD's) were .50 cents each and Blu-rays at $1.99. Went crazy on that sale! I see some others of you took advantage of the sale too.

So, I guess whatever I ordered in the first two days are good enough. If anything, I'm glad I managed to keep things a little under $400 compared to the last Criterion sale.

I'm glad I got most of the box sets that I wanted with this sale. Hopefully if there is a November sale, I'll go after the remaining Kurosawa, Ozu, Bergman single DVD's that I still need.

The late N!Xau of The Gods Must Be Crazy lived under similar circumstances as well.

1.View titles by list view on Criterion's web site.
2. Copy and paste to a text file
3. In Excel- open, choose text file, choose delimited (go with Tabs)
4. Enjoy!

Funny you mention that film. I was just thinking the other day how much I'd like to see that film come out on Blu. Wonder if Criterion could do something with that film.

Thanks for the plug Zedd. Here is my spreadsheet that is cell phone friendly, for those on the go or if you want something basic.

Includes Ebert, Maltin's picks also the Criterion Directors top 10 picks as well and recently revised.

Criterionforums.org... you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious....

In other news, I've never seen Hausu, but that trailer makes me want to watch it right the hell now. Looks awesomely ridiculous.

I think the site is laid out a little poorly and the people are a little serious, but scum and villany? Maybe scum...but villainy?

Though I never joined because why would it be fun talking to the same person as you? That's no fun.

There is only a couple of "those people" here (you know who you are....CC

) and not the whole forum is ran by them. So more opinions than attacks on here, which is nice.

No way. You are nowhere close to being as elitist as that crowd. And most of the people over there seem to despise Blu-Ray.

True. They make me look like Mr. Rogers.

One of my favorite comments attacking the format was "Buying blu-ray is a vulgar act of class warfare"
