To those who are devotees to the company, Criterion had a 50% off sale for all inventory today. And yes, I took full advantage of it. I went to the closest store that sells Criterion DVDs and purchsed:
- Insignificance
- Diabolique
- Wings of Desire
- The Last Emperor
And these add to the other Criterion DVDs I own, which are:
- Sweet Smell of Success
- Ace in the Hole
- The Night of the Hunter
- The Thin Red Line
- 8 1/2
In short, best day ever. Which Criterion DVDs do you own?
On my wishlist:
ReplyDeleteThe BBS Boxset
Hoop Dreams
The Ice Storm
Brazil
I can't tally up the Criterions I own, but it's a pretty good amount. I got the following Blu-Rays today:
ReplyDeleteInsignificance
Kiss Me Deadly
Naked
People on Sunday
Smiles of a Summer Night
The following come out before the sale ends and I plan to get them:
The Beauty and the Beast
High and Low
The Music Room
I own all of them, except for Kiss Me Deadly (which was sold out; I'll get my copy next week) and Withnail & I, which I'll obtain eventually even though it's out of print and I already have the non-Criterion blu-ray that was released last year.
ReplyDeleteWeird that I didn't get a notice on my dashboard that you posted this up, too.
ReplyDeleteFound out through John Likes Movies, but either way, I am absolutely stoked (as they look like they do UK shipping, too.)
As I said to John, out comes my bank card. (At least I am getting paid soon, and hey, I could hawk this off as being an early birthday present...)
Sweet Smell is a great Criterion! I think we have The Night of the Hunter Criterion in our house, too, but I am not entirely sure.
