The Criterion Collection

As MifuneFan says, it's not much to see. It's just a bunch of clear-plastic Target bins that hold 25-30 Blu-rays apiece stacked on top of one another.

I do this because I don't want my downstairs living room to look like a Best Buy store. As much as I love Blu-rays, they're sort of fugly-looking when stored together.

I keep threatening to retire from Blu-ray collecting when my walk-in closet runs out of storage room. I'm getting fairly close to that point, although I've found creative ways to keep adding bins.

Ah, yes. Seeing it written again, I remember you mentioning this here before. There’s nothing at all wrong with a little organization. Kind of the same as you in that regard, but the closet isn’t a walk-in and I’m running out of room!

It didn’t stop me from making a second order though:
Tokyo Drifter
Branded To Kill
Umbrellas of Cherbourg

[Central IL Film Fan]

I got The Circus, Holiday and Design for Living.

[Martin_31]

I ordered Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Until the End of the World, and Paris is Burning. All blind buys.

I can never remember—when are the 2 B&N sales? June and November?

There’s one more flash sale too? There were a couple things I want that went out of stock

July and November.

Used to start after the 4th of July Holiday, but if I remember correctly, has been the start of the month the last couple of years. Also, both have run longer recently (used to be about three weeks, and now the whole month).

Flash in October.

[joy-division]

Scanners
Insomnia
And I can FINALLY see Following

[BIGXWHIFF]

Hit the gift card threshold. Need help deciding between The BRD Trilogy and Trilogy of Life.

With regards to the Criterion Flash Sale, I ordered:

[StarDestroyer52]

Hope to take part in the next B&N sale, it will be since the Summer B&N sale last year that I made an order but I also pre-order my fair share of Criterion's Day 1 from the Godzilla Set to when BullMoose gets The Great Escape and Rohmer's Six Moral Tales up. So, I'm buying plenty of Criterion titles just not during the sales. Then there's the fact of so many great film sets and films being released in the UK by Eureka and 88 Films while Kino also takes a lot of my money in pre-orders. Over the last 5-6 months I've pre-ordered more titles than waiting for sales. After I buy Gamera, might look for sales in June or who am I kidding will probably stack up on the Eureka and 88 titles now that I got my region free player.

[97_Octane]

Just the one for me!

[145gtw]

Went back for a second helping. See you lads in the poorhouse.

[Doc Moonlight]

Waited too long to order the Karel Zeman collection. It's no longer available. Guess I'll have to wait for the next B&N sale.

[thebalconyfool]

I've been watching the Criterion channel a lot, so no blind buys this time. Very happy to pick up Vivre sa vie and I've had L'eclisse for awhile now and I really wanted the rest of the trilogy.

[kvnbhovis]

Went for a 4th helping. This time it was for DVD's that were mostly $14.97. I figured Barnes and Noble won't have them in stock so I can concentrate solely on blu's during the B & N sale.

Le Million
Le Ronde
La Bete Humaine
Boudu Saved From Drowning
The Flowers of St. Francis
Casque d'Or
Pepe le Moko
Under the Roofs of Paris
A Nous La Liberte

[skubrick2899]

Placed two quick orders at the start of the sale for:
The Fugitive Kind
Holiday
Roma
The Silence of the Lambs
It Happened One Night

With Gift Card:
Day for Night
The Heiress
A Face in the Crowd
Make Way for Tomorrow
A Raisin in the Sun

And of course I couldn't resist a third helping this morning:
Tess
My Man Godfrey
Being There

Tess was unavailable immediately afterward so I may have gotten the last copy. Thank goodness because that was the catalyst for this order.

I'm so looking forward to every one of these. The question is... which one will I start with when they arrive? All are blind buys except Roma & Silence of the Lambs.

How long will these remain available to stream? I might just have to sub tonight.

Anyone?
