missed out on White Material, love the suppressed hysteria under floral dress.
I just found the BRD Trilogy at a Barnes & Noble in Fargo. I just stopped in on a road trip to get an audio book and turns out it was my lucky day. 50% off plus 10% for being a member, came to $36 for an OOP boxset!
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this, but don’t own a single movie from the Criterion Collection. If I were to buy one, though, it would undoubtedly be the Blu-ray edition of Days of Heaven. I rented it through Netflix and thought it was gorgeous, but I haven’t gotten a chance to see the extra features, and that’s part of the reason to have a Criterion version in the first place!
The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus on blu-ray.
Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line (blu-rays).
I got the BBS set on behalf of my parents to give me in a month for my birthday.
And then I may pick up two of the following at some point…
-Close-Up (Blu)
-The Exterminating Angel
-Smiles of a Summer Night (Blu)
And if available…
-Rushmore (Blu)
Over the weekend p/u The Complete Jean Vigo ($15), and 10 Years of Rialto Pictures 10 DVD box set ($50)….already have 2 titles from the Rialto set as stand-alone discs, but at $5 per DVD….
Yesterday I stumbled upon a new copy of RAN priced at retail. Gotta love Kim’s Video. Had to buy it.

Playtime & The Killing
Whilst cleaning my room, I found a 25$ Gift Card to Barnes & Noble. I don’t think I could forgive myself if I DIDN’T use it for the November Criterion Collection sale. The question is: what movie should I buy? I’d really appreciate some suggestions. Opportunities like this don’t fall in your lap every day, so I need to make my decision count.
I’m considering these:
Days of Heaven (Blu-ray)
Solaris (Blu-ray)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Blu-ray)
Crucially, I haven’t actually seen Solaris, so I’m risking buying something I won’t like. Is it worth it, or should I rent it before purchasing?
Just so you have a point of reference, I’m looking for movies with striking visual styles. Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may have.
@Spencer – if you haven’t seen Solaris, I’d rent/Netlfix it first.
Also, if you’re looking for striking visuals, I’d say Malick is pretty safe. You could grab either Days of Heaven or The Thin Red Line. Or perhaps Wings of Desire?
Dr. Strangelove, Red Shoes, Thin Red Line, 2001 Space Odyssey, 8 1/2, Amarcord
