Damn, too late. I've been after ROOM AT THE TOP for ages and it's sold out.

Does anyone know if this offer is running in-store?

rapta · 11-02-2020, 12:51 PM

Kinda frustrated when I see a newer Ozu disc for half the price I paid on release day, but there you go. Fill yer boots, kids.

I went for Equus, The Good Die Young and Beat the Devil. A few more I’m curious about so might pop into HMV tomorrow whilst I still can!

Spiderwalk · 11-02-2020, 01:21 PM

^ I bought Red, White and Zero less than 2 weeks ago for £14.99, and now it's £7.

Big Jim McLain · 11-02-2020, 01:23 PM

Beat the Devil was only out in March and it’s already down to £6.99

Same, I paid more than double for Green Tea just a couple of months ago, thankfully I thought it was fantastic film so don't mind too much. It's a shame the new Tokyo Story doesn't seem to be reduced though.

Odds Against Tomorrow is great, I think you'll have a blast with that.

Yeah, these sales are almost convincing me to wait past release date for discs...almost

benkell · 11-02-2020, 01:49 PM

Some decent prices to be found, i bought the Takeshi Kitano set fairly recently for £27 and that's down to £18 (out of stock now).

I went with Equus for £9.99 (nearly pulled the trigger on this last week for £16 odd as it is a limited edition), Sunday Bloody Sunday for £6.99 and Privilege (an old flipside release that i never got round to picking up) for £7, there a couple of recent flipside releases down to £7 but they are out of stock already.

It is, though in my local not everything was correctly priced so I had to ask at the till to make sure. Managed to get An Actor's Revenge that way.

I’ve been meaning to pick it up for a while, heard a lot of good things about it.

Yeah, I don't mind too much. In fact I often pre-order Japanese cinema to encourage boutique labels to keep putting them out. I'm looking to get Gemini soon from Third Window for example. I also got the new Tokyo Story (a double-dip for me, and most Ozu fans I'd imagine) but yeah it's probably too much of a big seller for them to put it on sale this soon.

Yup that one too!

PS: the Kitano set was £18 this morning, well done to anyone who got it for that much! It's back up to £35 now so I assume that was a mistake...

Simon Lewis · 11-02-2020, 07:23 PM

Went for The Good Die Young, Cosh Boy, Beat The Devil and Moulin Rouge.

Paid £14 for Battle Of The Sexes a couple of weeks ago. Should have waited.

benkell · 11-02-2020, 08:46 PM

The Werner Herzog Collection Boxset is now £30, a great price for anyone who hasn't got round to getting it yet.

So tempting! Might skip the Criterion sale, this feels more worthy of buying!

alexrinse · 11-02-2020, 11:17 PM

Yes! And the Arrow Jodorowsky.

I didn’t ask as I’ve been told before that online is a completely separate operation and has no bearing on in-store! But I was already getting enough titles anyway, however I’ll have another look in tomorrow to see if anything has been repriced.

My haul:

I’m still tempted by the Criterion release of Flavor though, as it adds What Did the Lady Forget? in HD, a David Bordwell and Daniel Raim interview - but at £6.99 it’s difficult to resist a booklet and a Tony Rayns commentary! One of the major reasons I bought the Criterion of Good Morning was to get I Was Born, but... in HD.

Interested in The Good Die Young, but reviews for the film seem split down the middle.

CelestialAgent · 11-02-2020, 11:28 PM

I had a look on camelcamelcamel this morning and these are the best reductions (vs. what's already cheap on Amazon, or has been reduced for an extended period earlier this year). For me it makes it easier to decide which titles to go for

Spetters
Beat devil
Equus
Funeral parade
Room top
Richard iii
Eyes w/out
Pasolini
Green tea
Good die
Red white zero
Classe tous
Rogue male
Requiem village
Cosh boy
Little Malcolm
J'accuse
Orchard end
Madame de
Actors revenge
Tess
Man violence
Beat girl
Mulberry
The Black Panther

Huge news - BFI releasing Bogdanovich's Targets in March, along with some other goodies:

Blue Sky (18th January)

Marlene Dietrich at Universal, 1940-1942 (4-Film Collection) (18th January)

Madchen in Uniform (8th March)

Romeo is Bleeding (8th March)

Targets (22nd March)

Ben Stoddart has been very pessimistic about the prospects of UK labels licencing from Paramount - perhaps he was just trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

Aclea · 11-03-2020, 12:06 AM

Naturally I just ordered Flame of New Orleans and Pittsburgh from the Kino sale...

But Targets is indeed great news.
