I'll get the poll started. I bought 1.

Tag, you're it.

Only one for me, too - the Bergman set.

I plan to go big at the next flash sale.

Bergman Box Set, Some Like it Hot, The Princess Bride.

I also got Woman of the Year, and Le Samourai, and I’m pretty sure I’m almost completely caught up on all the the Criterions that are already released I wanted.

If they were half off already I would have ordered Notorious, 40 Guns, and La vérité. So I’ll have to wait for those.

I bought the Bergman set ... and that's all as far as Criterion titles go. But ... I bought 5 Arrow titles at 50% off (plus coupons and member discount).

Only three:

Beauty and the Beast
Wings of Desire
Solaris

Like some of you, I'll just wait for the next flash sale to go a little crazy.

I purchased the Bergman set from Amazon. I haven't participated in the past 2 BN sales. Amazon offers the best deal for my situation.

Yes, apparently everyone is quite taken up with it.

Even if you say: “it wasn’t bad but I didn’t care for it that much”, people go bonkers.

One of the more massively overrated films ever along with Kane IMO.

From the seven corners of the globe in all cinema art schools and universities this film is studied as one of the grand masters in filmmaking. It's been remade the most.
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Samurai

The director, Akira Kurosawa is considered one of the seven bests among Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock.

31

30 from the Ingmar Bergman set, plus The Princess Bride.

That's more than enough for one sale.

ShellOilJunior · 11-28-2018, 01:17 AM

We've all got our takes on the classics (Although, it's heresy to pawn Ozu, Chaplin, Kiarostami, and Kore-eda blu-rays).

Check out what Bergman said about Welles. Those two men did not like each other. On the other hand, Kubrick was a big fan of Bergman.

I just got the huge Bergman set and I have only ever seen The Seventh Seal. Since Kubrick is my favorite director of all time and he approved I’m very excited about starting to watch his films.

I just read what Bergman said about Welles and couldn’t agree more. I’m now an even bigger fan.
