It’s pretty sadistic of them to offer 50% off and then not have their website work!
I was gonna try and take a bit off from DVD buying, especially Criterion, but at just about $20 for a blu-ray it’s a rather good deal. I’m considering getting Belle de Jour which I just watched and was my first Bunuel. I loved it and would consider blind buying another Bunuel. Any suggestions?
Also, would a blind buy of Tokyo Drifter be a good choice? It’s always intrigued me and I’m a big noir fan (Melville, Dassin, etc) and it seems up my alley. Or I may just finish my Malick and get Thin Red Line…
It’s like Christmas in February! Happy Hallmark Day indeed!
I went only a bit overboard and got Three Colors, Belle de Jour, 12 Angry Men, Godzilla, Kes, and The Devil & Daniel Webster. And, for the heck of it, one of the House T-shirts. Orange IS my favorite color!
I got Jules and Jim, Umberto D., La Jetee/Sans Soleil, and Great Dictator!!
I got Jules and Jim, Umberto D., La Jetee/Sans Soleil, and Great Dictator!!
I was afraid to buy the Three Colors trilogy because of all the problems being reported… hopefully they fixed it?
@Tron If you are thinking of buying some Bunuel, I’d go for Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel and Simon of the Desert. A few of them are out of print I believe like The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeiousee and That Obscure Object of Desire. Diary of a Chambermaid was okay, but the first three I just listed are some of the best he has made.
Late Ozu, and The Thin Red Line…nice.
For me, Phantom of Liberty is the quintessential Bunuel film… and, yeah, so is Discreet Charm, but what can you do?
I got the 3-Disc Brazil, Double Life of Veronique (I love Kieslowski and first saw Double Life in a bad head space and didn’t like it, but I have give it a real chance), Before the Rain and SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM (yeah, I copied and pasted, so what)
Ugh – now Belle de Jour blu ray is on backorder, so I can’t get it until they give out a code for backordered titles (after the sale!), so that means I have to get something else if I want free shipping. Should it be:
a) Days of Heaven blu
b) Blow Out blu (namely, how is Murder a la Mod? I didn’t love Blow Up)
c) Bigger Than Life blu
?
Ok I got 3 Women, Days of Heaven, and upgraded Solaris. Pretty pumped about the Solaris blu! Definitely gonna watch that one shortly after I get it!
I’ll probably end up getting Belle de Jour, Godzilla, and upgrading 8 1/2 when they do the promo code for backordered stuff…
You mean I lose out on Criterion The Spirit of the Beehive and Andrei Rublev all because I didn’t make a LIST?
^ lol what? Did you read any of these posts?
Anyway, I think I’m gonna go back in and get some of the backordered titles… I really wanted Belle De Jour, and if I have to make two other purchases just to get free shipping, so be it.
Not working for me…but no problem. I’m backlogged with so many too watch, so I’m good. I just wanted “Three Colors: Blue White Red”.
Has anyone had their criterion.com order ship yet? I’m not in a huge rush, but mine was set to ship today (3/1) but is now pushed back to 3/6. It looks like most are still on backorder so I’m guessing this is the reason but I’m just curious how delayed everyone else’s shipments are.
Hey everyone. I’m selling quite a few of my CC’s in order to start securing funds for my second film. There are several OOP discs in there too. I would love to get rid of them in chunks rather than one at a time depending in what it is. Just to make it easier on me since I’m working two jobs now. PM me with your ideas and we’ll work something out. Hopefully I’ve made it clear enough and I will list more as I decide to get rid of them.

None of mine were backordered: they were listed as being prepared for shipment on the day of the order, and I received them a few days later, I believe it was Saturday, the sale being on a Tuesday.
Ok so here’s an up date on what I still have left. I only sold 6 off the original list and all were OOP. If you can, help me get rid of these. All, unless specified, are essentially brand new and most are going for as low as $10 and some lower depending on what it is.

Not a Criterion but what’s the word on this set:
http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Kubrick-Collection-Spartacus-Strangelove/dp/B004O724NG/ref=br_lf_m_1000778141_1_1_ttl?ie=UTF8&s=movies-tv&pf_rd_p=1352867862&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000778141&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1VQ1NY6HC0EGFTZ4G4Y8
59% off (60 bucks) for today only. Seems like it could be a steal if it’s good transfers et. all. Anyone have it?
^I have the individual releases on Blu Ray, and they’re stellar. Grab that box set if you don’t already have them.
I just got that Kubrick BD box set. I haven’t watched any of the films yet but the packaging is beautiful. A buddy of mine gave it to me because he ordered it from Amazon and they mistakenly sent him two sets (they only charged him for one). So if you’re gonna buy it, buy it from Amazon in case they make the mistake twice. lol
Updated list friends. Thanks to those who’ve been buying. You’ve been really helpful.

anyone know this years B&N date for sure?
NVM
i haven’t heard anything, but i’ll check with the music manager at my store today. if memory serves, its usually in July.
DVD Beaver has posted a bunch of Criterion on sale at Amazon -
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/
Just asked B&N about their Criterion sale. Not happening yet.
Update once again. Probably going to start selling on amazon or ebay soon. I’m still getting rid of them for pretty cheap, often cheaper than the cheapest used price on amazon.

I was able to get my order in about 45 minutes ago. The trick is to just keep hitting the Refresh button each step of the way rather than start the process over each time. The site is tracking your entries, it’s just not displaying the results reliably on the first or second or third click. But I did get email confirmation that my order was received and will be sent soon. It probably helps a lot if you have your credit card and shipping info already on file in their system.
