Well, there are A LOT of Criterions to choose from to put on Blu, so who knows when it will get a release date.

It will be the first Ozu BR from Criterion. So it should be in 2011.

Thanks Shell! Maybe with all the money spent recently, it's worth a wait until I see what happens next year.

I would like to eventually pick up a BFI title...

Yes!! On my way out of my building to work today, I saw that I got a box from B&N, which means that my BBS set came. I snatched up the box, and brought it to work with me today. Sadly my boss seems to be making rounds, so I actually haven's taken the set out of the cardboard mailing box yet.

I finally got my BBS set yesterday. Now if only my 3 Silent Classics set by Von Sternberg would ship, my haul from the B&N sale would be complete. It's still listed as "delayed".

No, probably not. From reading through the review, not all of it is English friendly. Also, the picture is darker.

Well on June 20th 2011 will officially be the 5 year anniversary of blu-ray disks being released......and I don't see an end for much much longer. 5 years was how long many people predicted blu-rays would be around before it was replaced by new technology. I.e. digital distribution. In fact I dont see this happening in the next 10 years. People still simply want a physical disk and will contine to want that product for a looong time. Especially us Criterion owners. I cant imagine looking at my collection not on a shelf but in the digital world. The booklets, the cases, all gone.....Long live blu-rays and long live Criterion!

Mystery Train is a fun ride, and if you like that then it would prep you to explore some Japanese cinema :]

Bottle Rocket is a good start. That was my first. My favorites after that one are Seven Samurai and M. Do yourself a favor and check them out. There's a great big world out there of wonderful movies that happen to have been produced outside English speaking countries. Enjoy!

spudd4242 · 12-02-2010, 04:59 PM

oh im not opposed to it.. my eye sight just isn't great at reading subtitles.. that's my only down fall.. but i promise i'll check one out!

Same thing is done today, really.

That's kind of what I was guessing. I just thought it was interesting with a film that seems pretty fascinated by language and the written word--the letter, the Poe story, the silent film subtitles, etc.--the title was kept in the original language, whereas many others aren't. Probably just over thinking things

aherron · 12-02-2010, 05:09 PM

Which one is the best and worth watching. Yojimbo Sanjuro or Seven Samurai?

reallyagi · 12-02-2010, 05:11 PM

Is anyone else still waiting for movies purchased during the BN sale? I'm still waiting for 6 titles, and I don't understand why BN can't ship whatever they have available. I'm sure either Modern Times or NOTH is holding back the shipment.

My first order from the sale was for 7 titles, and they shipped 6 the next day, and 1 the day after. I don't get their shipping procedure.

IMO Yojimbo and Sanjuro are good, solid movies (they're two not one) while Seven Samurai is one of the best movies ever made.

I got my Modern Times yesterday so the title holding you is NOTH most likely.

Stagecoach

If you like a good John Ford western.

Bottle Rocket is definitely a good start. If you don't mind black and white fare, I would recommend Stagecoach, Paths of Glory, and The Third Man. All 3 great films, all 3 in English.

*EDIT* - Curses, silentblu. Beat me to Stagecoach, haha.
