The Criterion Collection

[digihed]

I only picked up three this time which earned me a $50 gift certificate I will probably save for next time.

His Girl Friday
Something Wild
The Thin Blue Line

Used 4 gift certificates so total damage was under $500.

This is one of my all-time favorite sets. 2 of the 4 films (All Night Long & Victim) are on blu in Region B.

The Asphalt Jungle
Heart of a Dog
His Girl Friday

... and I picked up a $50 gift certificate in the process.

Yeah it's pointless to buy under 50 dollars. A lot of people use the flash sale and the Barnes and noble sale as the couple times a year when they buy criterions. A way to stock up and save a lot of money.

Very strange, the "love" promotional code does not work for me. All of the titles I've chosen are new releases and are available. What gives?

[Hoke Moseley]

Upgraded three archaic DVDs: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Traffic, Night and the City

One title I should have bought years ago: Paths of Glory

One blind buy: Riot in Cell Block 11

One new release: Mildred Pierce

Used a $50 gift card and spent enough to earn another one!

I'm really interested in buying the Essential Jacques Demy box set. I notice that a couple of the titles are getting individual releases soon. Are there any differences with the transfers of those two films? Should I hold off on the box set?

Write it in all capital letters.

I'm always tempted to get Loves of a Blonde after having seen it for a film class in college, but I'm sure once I do it'll be announced to be coming out on bluray. I know it's not a huge movie but it comes from a well known director.

The upcoming standalone films are his two most celebrated films.

The discs will be identical to those in the box set.

Didn't have a ton of money but picked up Dr. Strangelove. Will be an upgrade over the DVD I have.

[lilboyblu]

Asphalt Jungle
Cat People (1942)
Mildred Pierce
Something Wild (1961)

[*DrStrangelove*]

Went with The Executioner. Had never heard of the film till Criterion released it but really liked the description the site has. I always get excited when Criterion introduces me to a new film I had never heard of so I had to pull the trigger.

[Scottie]

If anyone needs a suggestion, pick up In the Mood for Love.

If you have some spare money, pick up a second copy just in case.

That's good to know. Thanks. I ordered the box set. A complete blind buy, but all films look fantastic.

[movieben1138]

Seems I'm not being terrible unique in this, but I also ordered HIS GIRL FRIDAY and MILDRED PIERCE, as well as AKIRA KUROSAWA'S DREAMS (the only Kurosawa I had yet to get).

His early films are his best.

[atlantajoseph]

Snagged Fox and His Friends, Mildred Pierce, and The Before Trilogy.

Also that special feeling when you get your order confirmation from the flash sale before you get the notification e-mail for the sale itself.
