The Criterion Collection

[zoodermin]

Anyone else already planning their July B&N sale? So far I intend to buy:

Notorious
In the Heat of the Night
War and Peace
Swing Time
The Heiress
Day For Night
Detour

[Xtempo]

if I can buy something this sale it would be anything in my wishlist that isn't OOP (I have 40 total movies that are a priority including OOP)
but mainly Eclipse boxsets.

I'm gonna re-buy the ones I ordered throughout the years but never received (thanks, Brazilian customs!) or received in bad shape:

Anatomy of a Murder
Yi Yi
Wild Strawberries
The Secret of the Grain

[Gacivory]

My July list so far:

Three Colors Trilogy
Double Life of Veronique
David Lean Directs Noel Coward
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
War and Peace

[The Sovereign]

Yeah, it's on my mind.

In the Heat of the Night
Blue Velvet
Mikey and Nicky
Detour
A Face in the Crowd
Funny Games
House of Games
Stranger Than Paradise
Night on Earth
Police Story
Wanda
War and Peace

And that's just 2019 titles. I'll have to squeeze in some catalog titles as well. But I'm not sure I'll make it until July without Detour, so there's that.

[MifuneFan]

War and Peace and Police Story, plus hopefully the Godzilla box set that may be announced for July ()

Yeah. My want list is large enough that I should re-up my membership.

Detour is at the top of the list, and I'm really wishing now I'd gotten off a second Target.com order with it.

Right now, the list is looking something like this

Priorities
Detour
A Face In The Crowd
Notorious
Swing Time

Liklies
Blue Velvet
Midnight Cowboy
The Quatsi Trilogy
Shame
Paris Belongs To Us

If my finances allow
Mikey And Nickey
Wanda
War And Peace
The Heiress

[Abdrewes]

The Heiress and House of Games are the two I'm most stoked to get in July.

Forty Guns
Gilda
The Innocents
They Live By Night

[belcherman]

I have a B&N gift certificate, so I plan to buy a bit more than than usual during the next sale. Right now I'm looking at:

Detour
A Face in the Crowd
The Heiress
Swing Time
Dietrich & von Sternberg in Hollywood

Of course, this list will probably change by July

[Gambit1138]

So far, it's looking like:

Likely:
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
War and Peace

Maybe:
Magnificent Ambersons
Ivan's Childhood
Funny Games

Money Allowing:
Beyond the Hills
Blue Velvet (pending what the final features are, I just got the last Blu-ray release)

I might forego the last 4 in favor of the Demy boxset, though.

Anything else TBD

So my Slacker blu-ray now freezes at the "C" in the upper left hand corner before the menu loads. I've never requested a replacement disc from Criterion, are they usually pretty good about sending those?

[Reddington]

With an unwatched pile that only seems to get bigger, I'll likely stick to just the following from B&N in July:

La vérité
War and Peace
Blue Velvet

[The Great Owl]

Yes, Criterion is responsive with these requests. My White Material disc froze at approximately the 1:15:00 point, so I emailed Jon Mulvaney at mulvaney@criterion.com .

I was told that White Material was not one of their problem discs, and that I should check my firmware and then mail my disc to them, so that they could send me a replacement.

I choose a quicker route by returning my Blu-ray to the store down the street for a refund and then ordering a new one through the recent flash sale. My new one plays fine.

Still, Criterion were spot-on with getting back to me a few days after my email.

I'll try e-mailing them. I tried other Criterion discs and they play fine on my PS4 so it definitely has to be the disc itself. I bought it a couple years back so unfortunately I won't be able to return it to the store. Thanks!

Come on Godzilla boxset!

[ShellOilJunior]

I'm planning for the BN sale in November 2019.

Detour is available to watch as the movie of the week on the steaming service but I can’t get it to play on my tv. I’m just using the browser on the tv. It tries to load but just spins around in a circle. This is the first movie I’ve tried streaming on my tv. This sucks if I can’t play these when the service starts.

It should be on Prime or Epix in HD if you have those services.
