Everyone jump on this, absolutely incredible set outside of the packaging which can be a bit wonky despite it's very beautiful design. Is also worth noting that Masters of Cinema put out wonderful region free editions of City Girl and Sunrise on blu-ray.

Does the sale end today? If so I might go grab the Cassavetes blu-ray set with the coupon mentioned above.
Is there a link for the 40% coupon?

Right here. Sorry for sloppiness. I'm on my phone. If they ask, give them the code in the top right corner, BFRIDAY40 didn't work.

ooh nice tip. I'm thinking amazon did this just after TCM, but: every one of these I've checked is even cheaper on amazon. Val lewton for $18.50, bette davis v1 for $21.99, forbidden hwd v1 for $16. think I'm getting the last of those I think; i've seen and liked baby face and the other two look fun. was hard to pick between that and Bette Davis.

Yeah snatched the Val Lewton and Legends of horror for $18 on amazon. I'd go with forbidden hollywoods (vol.3 especially) but I have too many single discs already for it to be worth the purchase. Vol. 4 onwards don't have subtitles which is a shame.
And now I have to stop looking at these things cause my family's got to eat.
Edit: oh and that Robin Hood BR is at $3.99 right now on amazon...

Picked up The Royal Tenenbaums (B&N didn't have The Killing or Rushmore on them) with the sale and the 30% off coupon yesterday. Too bad money is really tight right now, I probably would have picked up Kiss Me Deadly as well.
I went a little crazy during the sale as well. Also picked up a few from Amazon when they had them on Lightning Deals.

This is about what I did when I started getting into Criterions. Pretty sure I bought 10 to 12 during a sale once, but given the inclusion of the Cassavetes set and Zatoichi, you crazy.
Used that Mastercard 30% off coupon on both of those. So Zatoichi was $85 or so after tax, and Cassavettes was under $45.
I think I'm gonna try my best to do some catching up next year (both in watching and purchasing).

Something in this world keeps telling me to buy The Four Feathers Blu, but I can't be bothered. It's a great movie, but it'll be one of the later editions I buy simply because the supplements are slim.
Also: please put something other than London Films up for early UK Hulu streams, Criterion!

What do you guys think the chances are that Criterion will begin reprinting Chungking Express? One of my favorite romance movies.

The Cassavetes boxset (not criterion, but damn good) is at less than 13€ on amazon spain.
I'm contemplating ordering a couple more for christmas gift.
Retail price is 69,99€...
Edit : was, it's now ~25€ (still an amazing deal if you don't need subtitles)

Hey, check it out, Criterion might finally get to release Cure and Mikey and Nicky now that Image/HVE's putting them OOP. A lot of this already streams on CC's Hulu+, so maybe they have physical media rights after this?

The Rules of the Game is 16 bucks on Amazon right now.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I'm hesitant to buy Frances Ha blind, but I love Squid and the Whale. I was amibiguous to Greenburg. This looks more like a Woody Allen impression, what's it like?
I'm kinda the inverse of you (cold on Squid and the Whale, like Greenberg) but if you're a Baumbach fan you'll probably come down on the positive side. definitely borrows from Allen, I think a lot of people say Godard too (haven't seen enough to say for sure). whole scene is ripped from Leos Carax basically. Anyway it's good but it's also on netflix instant so I'd say watch it then buy it if you like it.

It's on Netflix Instant if you want to give it a try. It's my least favorite Baumbach film, but it's decent.

I would actually thank you so much.
That's easily been my top wish for a BD upgrade for some time.
I remember an article/interview about a year ago where CC said to not expect a LS upgrade anytime soon, but hopefully it is coming.

I wish bro, I wish.
I really need to see this, so that would be perfect.
Took advantage of B1G1 at Barnes. Grabbed Thin Red Line and Vivre Sa Vie.

That would be far more interesting than this Lloyd, which I find inferior to both The Kid Brother and Safety Last (this man hasn't seen anything like Dr. Jack yet, though). I knew it was coming because Criterion's listed the Janus Films poster for sale on their site; Persona's been on iTunes for a while now and Janus is pimping the Sorrentino as much as possible (I've heard good things about Revanche, the last big contemporary release of theirs). And Errol Morris has been a major name in the works, too. The only surprise here is George Washington, for which an upgrade is deserved.
If you like The Hidden Fortress artwork, I'm about 99% sure it's done by Vania, who is a Mondo artist, meaning it will mostly likely get a print at some point close to release. The Persona artwork is simply stunning. I still hate The Great Beauty artwork. It looks cheap, and it's just two different stills from the film photoshopped on top of each other. The original shot of him on the bench would have been much better without the statue behind him.

Fine with me if they feel like keeping both The Freshman's rerelease poster and TGB's thing. And yes, I do want a one-sheet for The Hidden Fortress.

The only thing I know about The Great Beauty is that Sasha Grey has seen it like 5 times in the past week here in LA.
ha, i heard il divo was great, but i havent seen it either.
It would actually end up being a screenprint.
