Excellent. Thanks for the heads up, Harold!

Paths of Glory and Seven Samurai... here I come!

Do they include blu-ray? and do they ship to Canuckistahn?

yes on the blu...shipping I know not.

As long as we're on the subject of Criterion, if they can release The Killer and Hard Boiled, where's my copy of Hard Target: Criterion Collection? If they can't find a university egghead who will lower himself to do so, I'm willing to contribute a scholarly video essay on the resonant power of high-waisted jeans and greasy mullets in '80s action cinema.

And, yes, I'm waiting for the B&N sale to pounce on Seven Samurai like a hobo on a grilled cheese.

by **hoytereden** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 10:58 am

I love the prices and I'll be there for The Thin Red Line & Black Orpheus but this time I'll forego the "free shipping" option-Took about a month to get my last order. Live and learn.

by **mavrach** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 3:42 pm

I lost a lot of self-control at the last sale. I need to get my car fixed up, maybe that can wait??

They ship here, I bought M and Che at the last sale.

by **LarryLockyer** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 9:04 am

might buy a few while this sale is on

by **Dimwitted** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:14 pm

Heard about an extremely wicked Criterion box set. I wonder if they'll have it?

If you're talking about the awesome "America Lost and Found" set, then probably not. It comes out two days after the sale ends. :cry:

by **Dimwitted** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 3:16 pm

Bingo! That's the one.

*My DVD Collection* · by **OperaGal** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 4:11 pm

Ah yes, will have to see about saving up for that sale!

There are a few Criterions that I've been wanting, especially 'M' and 'Brief Encounter'!!

by **HGervais** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 3:25 pm

Starts tomorrow, November 1st.

by **Steve T Power** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:01 am

Jumped in early and grabbed myself some Criterion Blu-Ray goodies:

- Seven Samurai
- Che
- Yojimbo
- Paths of Glory
- Charade

by **Future Man** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:51 am

So far ordered:
Battle of Algiers
Films of Theodor Dreyer
Seven Samurai (Blu)
Night of the Hunter (Blu) pre-order

I will almost certainly order many more and thus exceed my all-too-flexible, self-imposed spending limit.

by **LarryLockyer** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:39 am

The Thin Red Line
The Last Emperor
Days of Heaven
Yojimbo & Sanjuro
Seven Samurai

by **Ptolemy** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 10:02 am

Hobson's Choice

Neither in Blu unfortunately

by **HGervais** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:54 pm

Eclipse
Oshima's Outlaw Sixties
George Bernard Shaw On Film
The First Films of Akira Kurosawa

DVD
Louie Bluie
L'Enfance Nue

Blu-ray
The Magician

Breathless
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

Whew!

by **BenShultz** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:33 pm

High and Low
The Tin Drum
The Last Temptation of Christ

The latter two are blind buys. And I'm sure there will be more.

by **Dimwitted** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:56 pm

Charade
Yojimbo/Sanjuro
Seven Samurai

All in Blu.

I think that B&N is making a killing. I surprised that more retailers don't follow suit unless they're getting a special wholesale price.

by **hoytereden** » Tue Nov 02, 2010 9:16 pm

A suggestion-Rather than having two threads running on what we're getting how about tossing this over to the buying one. Just a thought.

But this one is JUST for our snootie patooties to strut our Criterion Buying stuff! I've got a snifter of Brandy, a turtleneck, my red ascot and a beret... let's roll!

Ah but Power that is where you are wrong....classic & great cinema at 60% off means these are movies for the people!

by **cdouglas** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 10:01 am

I picked up six Criterion flicks on Blu-ray...

House
Seven Samurai
Paths of Glory
Night of the Hunter
Modern Times
The Thin Red Line

I was wearing that stuff before the sale except I prefer a fez. No sissy berets for me.

Ah but Harold, this is where you're wrong! There's nowhere near enough homophobic or flatulent humor, or rapid MTV editing to make these films "for the people!"

The 60% off is nice!

by **Future Man** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:10 pm

What would House be rated today?

by **J.M. Vargas** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 11:40 am

^^^ I'd say 'R' for Extreme Fantasy Violence and Nudity.

I've shown remarkable restrain considering I'm itching to buy a ton of stuff. So far only House, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and Paths of Glory (all Blu-ray) have left the store with me.

by **Future Man** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 12:54 pm

Also ordered:
Knife in the Water (barebones disc)
Paths of Glory Blu
Breathless Blu

Contemplating:
The Red Shoes (Blu) (only a misguided sense of machismo holding me back)
Umberto D.

by **HGervais** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:54 pm

Picked up The 400 Blows on blu-ray and realized I have everything Criterion has released on the format.

by **Dimwitted** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:43 pm

Has anyone received their discs in the mail yet?

by **hoytereden** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 8:56 pm

Dimwitted wrote:Has anyone received their discs in the mail yet?

Yup. This time I went for the regular shipping. What a difference! Days instead of weeks. Even the backordered The Thin Red Line didn't take more than 10 days.

by **Future Man** » Mon Nov 22, 2010 9:07 am

Finished the sale with
Trouble in Paradise
Au Hasard Balthasar
Modern Times Blu

All for $40.xx

by **maintcoder** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 6:52 pm

It looks like my order will be delivered on Monday. I picked up these titles...

Two and a Half Men: the Complete Seventh Season
Errol Flynn Adventures
The Thin Red Line
The Darjeeling Limited
The Maltese Falcon
Paths of Glory
The Night of the Hunter
Charade
The Magician
House

by **Dimwitted** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 8:31 pm

I'm still waiting. Hopefully they'll come soon.

One of these things is not like the others.

by **Dimwitted** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 9:38 am

B&N's site is wonky. They mix and match like mad if you're not careful. The first time I went over there I was amazed what Criterion had released. I'm sure Criterion was amazed as well. Good luck in getting them. Mind you, Criterion pricing on regular studio releases is a definite burn. Even at 50% off I think it would still be higher than MSRP.

by **maintcoder** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:26 pm

Well, I will have to wait a bit longer for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and Antichrist. Barnes and Noble hopes to ship it within the next 30 days. The rest are in, including Two and a Half Men. I just have to watch the whackiness of what my life would have been (without freaking commercials!) if I hadn't straightened up! ;-)

by **Dimwitted** » Sun Dec 19, 2010 8:16 am

I've gotten 2 out of 3. Charade seems to be missing in action.
