The Criterion Collection

[jedidarrick]

I got a 50 dollar Gift certificate the last sale, so a few hours ago I got Breathless and the Before trilogy. You could say I got the Before Trilogy for free with my copy of Breathless.

Absolutely. So freaking good. Just rewatched a few days ago.

The Asphalt Jungle (finally!), Chimes at Midnight, and One Eyed Jacks for me this sale.

So hard to determine what is considered underrated. I would recommend Shallow Grave and The Ice Storm if never seen. Love them both, and excellent rewatch value.

[The Great Owl]

I've been working out in the field all day doing erosion control inspections for miles in the woods along a natural gas pipeline that is under construction, so I was away from the computer when the sale hit.

I thought that I'd be too late to order my desired titles, but, much to my pleasant surprise, I was not.

I just ordered...

The Before Trilogy
Something Wild
His Girl Friday

I thought for sure that The Before Trilogy would be sold out by now, so it's my lucky day.

[octagon]

The Ice Storm - another awesome blind buy that totally floored me.

You folks are on a roll

[MassiveMovieBuff]

The Ice Storm is incredible

[UncleBuckWild]

This is what my mind went through...

3 Experiences:

1) Excitement


2) Dazed and Confused


3) High as F**k after finally placing an order



Bought:
All That Jazz, One-Eyed Jacks, I Knew Her Well, Mildred Pierce, The Squid and the Whale

[Page14]

I decided to use my newly acquired $50 gift certificate right away instead of waiting for the next Criterion.com sale.

Order #2:
Dekalog
La Vie de Bohème

I always get a feeling of anxiety. Always feel that I won't get my order placed prior to titles going out of stock, even though I always place my order within minutes of the beginning of the sale. SMH

Thank you for jogging my memory on La Vie de Bohème, which is a title that has long interested me. I was looking for something to get along with Dekalog to get me over the $50 free shipping threshold and that did the trick.

Not single titles but I think that the Les Blank and Pierre Etaix sets are fantastic and neither seem to get much mention anywhere.

I have that still - I placed my first and probably last ever C sale order today. I'll be over in CA next month for the last time as the company is closing our San Diego office at the end of March. Picked up Wild Strawberries, Life of a Dog and Asphalt Jungle and used my old $10 gift certificate - these will be the cheapest US Criterions I get for a long while I suspect!

The only reason I'm anxious is because things have been changeable a lot in our company recently and I'm worried the trip gets cancelled! Orphan Criterions!

[mja345]

Another underrated one I never see anyone talk about is Jane Campion's "Sweetie". Very bizarre, but great film.

[Reddington]

Picked up Marketa Lazarová, Kuroneko, and The 400 Blows.

Three more titles to add to my burgeoning collection of B&W Scope films.

[SuperFlyHighGuy]

I watched One Eyed Jacks last week and I highly recommend it. Not only did the blu-ray have incredible picture quality, it was one of the best American westerns I've seen.
