Barnes and Noble's 50% Off Criterion Sale Blu-Ray Haul

[@maplestreetmovies]

Future Nathan here, Robinson Crusoe on Mars sucked :'(

[@theawesomelegolover168]

What a tragedy...

[@Jonmad17]

8 1/2 is the best edited movie ever made. Way, way ahead of its time technically.

[@RK-bl3if]

Talk about packaging, Dr Strangelove has the best criterion packaging imo

[@Theomite]

I can't make a video like this because my B&N doesn't have a movie section. It has a rack of CDs where the top 3 slots are Blu-rays/DVDs. *I have to order them from the website* . So if I made a video, it would be 1 minute long and consist of me running into the store, looking at the rack and saying "already got it" and then leaving.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Theomite I’d watch it 😎

[@riverwhite8418]

I really wanna get the Eraserhead Criterion, it is my favorite David Lynch movie.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Jackson saw it last night and loved it. I've gotta get it soon!

[@jimcameron1234]

Have those two companys online shopping option for orders outside USA?

[@zyrrhos]

The Earrings Of Madame de is a phenomenal film. Watching it you'll realize how strong of an influence Ophüls had on Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson.

[@aaronjohnson4681]

dr strangelove is probably the most interesting old movies with peter sellers case in point

[@martinstaller4650]

Have you guys bought the Zatoichi film boxset?

[@maplestreetmovies]

I haven't even heard of that one! I'm constantly discovering more Criterions! I'll look that up!

[@martinstaller4650]

@@maplestreetmovies You can still find the last few copies on ebay for about $150. That makes it $6 per movie as there are 25 movies. They are remarkable films with choreographed fight scenes. They were made in the 60's and early 70's, and has a lot of Kurosawa actors in it. I also recommend a criterion films called Sword of Doom and the Samurai Trilogy.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Martin Staller very good to know, thank you!

[@maplestreetmovies]

Martin Staller I just looked it up and it’s a beautiful set!

[@martinstaller4650]

@@maplestreetmovies yes it is! Here's one of the full movies included in the boxset with English subtitles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoPXfWdqod2jd8U

[@channelname1562]

I had to limit myself to 6 this sale so I didn’t go broke. I got Dazed and Confused, The Player, Night of the Hunter, Silence of the Lambs, Mulholland Dr, and House. I also picked up Brazil and Night of the Living Dead but I returned them because I was never gonna have time to watch them until next sale

[@maplestreetmovies]

Smart move. The only ones I've seen out of your haul is Night of the Hunter and that movie is very eerie!

[@MegaIkedog]

All of those are excellent films, although I have never seen The Player.

[@letstalkcriterion]

Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece featuring Leon Vitali who went on to be Kubrick's assistant up to his death and who supervised this re-master with Criterion.

[@EricWinkler83]

Wages of Fear is a masterpiece

[@maplestreetmovies]

I just saw it yesterday and I completely agree! Very suspenseful and enjoyable and I was so satisfied with the ending. Don't know if I like that one or Diabolique more though!

[@martinstaller4650]

So is the William Friedkin American version called The Scorcerer.

[@francisco_suffers660]

Does the sale in July last the whole month

[@maplestreetmovies]

Francisco_Suffers yes! :) it usually even goes into a August a little bit

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

@1:00 Aki KuroSMAKI!!!!!! Akira Kurosawa... Great Director, but I would start with Hidden Fortress. IMHO

[@zacharysiple783]

12:34 Actually, he did movies like Blue Velvet, and in 1999 he directed a G rated Disney movie called The Straight Story(which actually has profanity despite it's G rating.)

[@martinez112820]

Awesome picks! I want to pick up wild strawberries and the spy who came in from the cold, At some point maybe next time. La poison sounds interesting too! Love the music at the end of the video lol.

[@maplestreetmovies]

I can't recommend Willd Strawberries enough! We're excited to see the blind buys, and thank you! Haha :D

[@michaelkikle3018]

I’m a MAJOR fan of “Eraserhead”. Probably my favorite scary movie of all time. I love art films, and that film severely scarred me for life. So well-made.

[@maplestreetmovies]

I love to hear those kinds of things. Excited to watch it someday!

[@michaelkikle3018]

Nannerale TV Please do a video, once you see it, pal. I’d love to hear your thoughts. “Eraserhead” is absolutely mind-boggling.

[@nerdcave6797]

How do you know when the sales happen?

[@maplestreetmovies]

Nerd Cave Criterion has a bi-yearly sale every July and November! 😁 they also sometimes do online flash sales and that normally happens in February and October

[@joeylumbreras7801]

AGHHH!!! I MISSED SEEING YOU TWO TOGETHER!!! I'm hoping for another 24 hour movie marathon. I also plan on picking up The Seven Samurai, The Graduate, 8 1/2, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Breakfast Club.

[@maplestreetmovies]

THANKS! :D Looks like you're in for an amazing haul! We'd love to do another 24 marathon, but it's so hard living in different places. Maybe in the future someday!

[@joeylumbreras7801]

Nannerale TV I understand. Me and my friends want to do a 24 hour movie marathon but we've been super busy all summer. We might save it for Spring break.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Let me know how that goes! If you make a video, I'd love to see it!

[@joeylumbreras7801]

Nannerale TV Won't be able to go to Barnes and Noble. I'll be busy for the rest of the summer. I'll do a hunt in November when the sale comes back. But I'll have a bluray update soon so be on the look out.

[@joeylumbreras7801]

Nannerale TV My new video is up. Go check it out when you can m8.

[@zacharysiple783]

8:03 8.5 is great, I need to see it again to rank it properly on my fav. list.

[@KevinKrueger86]

Crispin Crunch yeah Barnes and nobles prices are outrageous

[@brandothecatmeow]

Check out Seijun Suzuki films. He's a favorite director of mine. Modernist Japanese filmmaker. Branded to Kill, Tokyo Drifter & Tattooed Life are 3 of my favorites of his.

[@DownToMovie]

Finally had some time today to check this one out!!! I got 6 this time around which had my channel go from 2 to 8, lol....I am a bargain blu-ray guy so it's hard for me to drop $20 on a movie especially an older release. Great pickups, really enjoyed the video!

[@maplestreetmovies]

Thanks for watching! Just watched your Criterion Haul and you had some great pick ups too! I totally get the trouble with dropping $20, they are definitely expensive, but the way I look at it is you know you're getting a great movie, there are loads of great supplements, the quality is amazing, etc. I look at Criterions as the Vinyls of blu-ray collecting :D Plus Jackson and I saved up for this one for months haha.

[@paulcasino9511]

Sullivan's travels is in my top 5 favorite movies

[@theawesomelegolover168]

3:07 Agreed

[@travistaylor5000]

Wow, you guys are Criterion enthusiasts! Because of cost (even though you get an excellent product), I have just 6 Criterions in my collection, 3 of them Hitchcock, The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) The 39 Steps (1935) The Lady Vanishes (1938) On The Waterfront (1954) A Night to Remember (1958) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959). I would love to eventually get more, especially Cary Grant, James Stewart movies. Also 12 angry men, Dr. Strangelove, and Red River.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Travis Taylor you’ve got a great collection! Yes, I show off a lot, but I’ve always been more interested in quality over quantity. If I see a criterion that I bought and I don’t like it, I’ll straight up sell it. I think your small collection is awesome and is only growing! Thanks for watching!

[@BaileeWalsh]

1:52 I rewatched that part because it was too funny! Eraserhead was the first movie I remember watching and being like "What the fuck did I just watch?" ...Cut to five years later and Twin Peaks is like my favorite thing; I'm obsessed! The artist of the cover art for The Earrings of Madame de... is David Downton and I love his art and style. It's the reason I got Belle De Jour, which instantly became a favorite film of mine. And still is. Blind buys are the best! Little expectation is the way to see a film for the first time. That's pretty much how my favorite film became my favorite film. Which is Plein Soleil/Purple Noon. It's on Criterion :)

[@NoNo-yu7ed]

That description of breakfast club hahaha!

[@liamaltork2551]

And Seven Samurai LOL

[@llamaseatfruit9757]

You should do a review of your favorite Hitchcock films. I just got a box set of black and white Hitchcock and idk where to start (other than Psycho)

[@maplestreetmovies]

That's a great idea! I can do that one soon. Pyscho is my personal favorite, but after that it's like a 5 way tie with Rear Window, Notorious, Dial M For Murder, Vertigo, and Rope haha.

[@arman0612]

I can barely afford two of those at a time. Great choices!

[@riverwhite8418]

Shout out to both of you guys!

[@williamlasonder9985]

Cynthia Barclay if you're watching this, give me my Kidz Bop 14 CD back!! My IPod mini broke and now I have no way of listening to the boppers sing Teardrops on my Guitar and I'm gonna lose my friggin mind

[@geekweek1192]

Great video and great picks! I haven’t seen the earrings of Madame de... but I think it’s directed by Max Ophuls, who was an inspiration for Stanley Kubrick. You guys should do more videos together! Jackson’s really cool

[@maplestreetmovies]

No way, that's awesome! I agree we need to do more videos together, he's great!

[@juanvalenzuela1183]

William Friedkin's Sorcerer is not a Criterion, but it's a remake of The Wages of Fear and it's also great. Warner Bros released a well done transfer on blu ray. Check it out after watching Wages.

[@maplestreetmovies]

I'll have to watch it soon then because I watched Wages last week and loved it!!

[@bernardocisneros]

Hey Nathan! I hope you are having a great day and once again this video is great filled with funny and sarcastic moment that just make me laugh hard. Anyway I picked up 9 titles at the sale and Dude you have to watch seven samurai which I own and LOVED the film so much and I had seen most of Akira Kurosawa films not all of them, but still waiting for criterion to announce the upcoming release to finally release more of his film. I highly recommend picking up ikiru and dreams also High and low! I hope you enjoy your pick ups of titles and great video and have a great day! -Bernardo Cisneros

[@maplestreetmovies]

Means so much Bernardo! Ikiru was totally on my list, but BOTH Barnes and Nobles we hit up only had the DVD copy :( I'll have to snag that one in the future!

[@bernardocisneros]

Really great video! I didn’t want to click on it because I knew it would make me go Criterion shopping again 😂 so I’m going for another 4 Movies right now! I haven’t seen Wages of Fear but it’s remake Sorcerer is amazing. I’ve only heard that Wages is better, so I’ve been pumped to see it!

[@maplestreetmovies]

AWESOME! Haha I would say that I'm sorry for making you get another 4, but I can't because the Criterions are just that good! I haven't even seen Sorcerer, but I'm super stoked for Wages. Let me know which ones you pick up! The only one I'm wishing I bought that I didn't buy was To Be or Not to Be, but I'm not losing any sleep over it, I know it'll be there for the next sale!

[@cinemabates6130]
