Barnes and Noble's 50% Off Criterion Sale Shopping 2019!

[@maplestreetmovies]

Dearest Subscribers, Thank you for watching! Our raw footage totaled up to over 30 minutes of content and so I had to edit out a few things. If you're wondering about any movies, or you even just want suggestions, please comment and ask! I know there are plenty of us willing to help! Also I realize War and Peace isn't actually 8 hours.. it was more of just a number I was throwing out there. It wasn't until after I filmed and was editing that I realized it's a bit shorter. The point I was getting at in the video was that the movie is very long haha! Thank you guys so much for supporting and watching!

[@adamnelson8572]

Oh man should’ve gotten Carnival of Souls. It’s basically a really trippy, weird, feature length Twilight Zone episode.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Adam Nelson for real?! Man I might have to overcome my cover dislike in the future 😂

[@adamnelson8572]

Nathan Hale Yeah! You’d never know it was the director’s one and only narrative film. Some awesome black and white widescreen cinematography, a spooky organ-based score, and some cool set pieces, like a ghostly ballroom sequence at the end. It’s on the Criterion Channel if you don’t want to blind buy it.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Adam Nelson good to know thank you!!

[@VEILmscx]

Nick should’ve picked up the Guillermo Del Toro Trilogy box set. All 3 films are amazing.

[@eduardohuang7636]

The Last Emperor was a greatest biography film out there, but it is definitely not like Game of Thrones....

[@matts9064]

The Last Emperor is like Game of Thrones? Bahahahah!!!

Lady Bird Is A Masterpiece

No It’s Not But It’s Pretty Decent Though

@@thomasneufeld2035 Agree 100%

[@BEE-mp9vk]

It is a masterpiece. At first it seems like a standard high school flick, but it's realism and level of detail is insane. It grows with multiple watches, same with Little Women and Francis Ha. Gerwig is actually a pretty spectacular writer/director.

[@zacharysiple783]

I went to my B and N last week and I got The Age Of Innocence-which was directed by Martin Scorsese!

[@Basicmango]

Highly recommend the French Beauty and the Beast, also terrifying

[@maplestreetmovies]

Peter DiGiovanni am seriously considering buying it. Along with The Bridge and Shoah

[@tomgerrard5490]

Over in the UK you can find criterion’s for $12

[@maplestreetmovies]

Infamous Films wow!! That’s a great price!

[@zacharysiple783]

4:03 Have you seen Salo? That's a messed up movie that actually has a spot in my top 10!

[@maplestreetmovies]

Funny you mention that. I edited this part out because this video was nearing 30 minutes long, but there was a part where Nick and I talked about it. Neither of us are super interested in this one actually, may I ask why you are a fan of it?

[@williamduda368]

Robinson Crusoe on Mars is amazing! Why don’t you like it? Just curious

[@maplestreetmovies]

It was all about expectations. I was expecting a campy cheese-fest similar to the 60s Batman movie and it took itself way too seriously.

[@williamduda368]

@@maplestreetmovies understandable. I really liked it but I new what it would be like before hand. Love cheesy sci fi movies thought 👍

[@coreyscrypt7956]

sweet pickups dude, I never heard of that to be or not to be, I may have to grab that before the sale ends

[@maplestreetmovies]

coreys crypt glad you discovered a new one, that’s always a great feeling!

[@iakona23]

If you want Brief Encounter, you really should get the David Lean directs Noel Coward box set. 4 excellent films for $40 (on sale) plus lots and lots of special features. I agree with you on Lubitsch and Shop around the Corner, but To Be or Not to Be is the best Lubitsch film and I am so happy that you got it. Kluny Brown is a new Lubitsch Criterion release which is also surprisingly good. Also, I just got the digibook blu-ray release Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and it is a glorious high definition quality!

[@ericperry8094]

Nathan, Have you seen the films of Stanley Kubrick? I was surprised, not in a good way, to hear you refer to Barry Lyndon, as his one hit wonder. Checkout: Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, The Shinning and the list goes on. You will enjoy the discovery of these films if you have never seen them.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Yes! Haha we were just joking about it being a one hit wonder! I've seen a ton of Kubrick!

[@cinemabates6130]

Great pickups! I got The Vanishing, Gimme Shelter and Death in Venice! You should do more videos of this style!

[@maplestreetmovies]

Cinema Bates nice man! Want to get The Vanishing someday, I’ve heard great things about it! When you say of this style, do you mean vlog type videos or Criterion themed videos?

[@cinemabates6130]

Nathan Hale I know you don’t buy many physical movies anymore, but this “out and about” style video was a lot of fun!

[@maplestreetmovies]

@@cinemabates6130 Thanks man! Yeah you're right, I'm out of the physical media buying, but I'll make sure to take advantage of every opportunity I have to film in these kinds of situations!

[@WoodyAllenManiac]

Great video guys! Enjoyed it. Love those films.

[@bernardocisneros]

hey Nathan, I hope you are having a awesome day so far, and another great video especially is a criterion collection sale. for myself I only picked up two titles that happen to be a silent film and I only picked two is because I have been saving money and I am in college pursuing the degree of film production to become a director and make movies, so I love silent film lol. great haul and a fun video. -bernardo cisneros

[@maplestreetmovies]

Nathan Hale the kid brother and speedy which both are Harold Lloyd silent films.

Carnival Of Souls is amazing. And the cover mimics a shot in the film. Lol

[@maplestreetmovies]

Fair enough lol. I saw it after filming this video and man it was an interesting experience haha!

[@jacobscardino4330]

New lubitsch film coming to the collection in November called Cluny Brown. Only lubitsch film I’ve seen is Ninotchka which belongs in the collection, great performance from Greta Garbo. Shop around the corner is on my list and thanks to this video, to be or not to be!! Hope you enjoyed the lubitsch if so keep an eye out for Cluny Brown!

[@maplestreetmovies]

I am very intrigued by Cluny Brown! I loved To Bo or Not to Be! And Heaven Can Wait was pretty good too!

[@samuelstairsvarietyhour7059]

love the shirt btw bro, love arrested development

[@TheMovieWatcher99]

How dare you disrespect Tanley Kubrick!!! He only directed one of the greatest movies of all time “Balto: The Journey Home”. Stanley Kubrick wishes he was Tanley Kubrick (probably because they were womb mates since they’re twins). Great pickups my dudes. Nate, quit getting movies you know you’re gonna watch. We want true collector’s at the Criterion Sale. Nick, if you don’t watch Barry Lyndon with a glass of Welch’s Grape Juice *Made With 100% Juice* you’re not doing it right. Great vid man

[@maplestreetmovies]

JackTheYeller yes Master

[@nicholasacosta2647]

how could I forget about Balto, what a classic!

Lol, if that ain't me sitting with a stack of films on the floor when I go to B&N during Criterion sales! Edit: I recommend Judex and Bigger Than Life if you haven't checked those out, Nathan :)

“The last EMPEROR” was not foreign language film

[@travistaylor5000]

My 3 favorite black & white films are 1. Casablanca (1943) 2. It's a Wonderful Life (1946), the colorized blu ray looks fantastic as well. 3. The Thin Man (1934), love the 5 sequels as well. 4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) 5. Psycho (1960) It was just too hard to stop at 3 movies. Too many good ones out there.

[@maplestreetmovies]

[@zacharysiple783]

422 minutes, in case you were curious: 360 mins. = 6 hrs. 420 mins.= 7 hrs. So 422 m. = 7 hours and 2 mins.

[@maplestreetmovies]

Lol yeah I realize thanks. In the moment I was just throwing a number out there. It was more for exaggeration humor.

[@thomaswilke6312]

My first criterion collection blu-ray was bottle rocket two years ago. Now I have about 10 altogether

[@maplestreetmovies]

Sorry I’m so late in responding! That’s awesome! What other ones do you own?

[@erikhughes8412]

Just FYI... "The Last Emperor" is not a foreign language film; it's actually mostly in English with some Japanese and Mandarin in a few scenes - it's also a British / Italian / Chinese / French produced film. "War and Peace" by Sergei Bondarchuk is a freakin' masterpiece. If you're put off by its 7-hour 2-minute run time, may I ask if you've seen a season or 2 of "Breaking Bad"? Either of those was much longer. Also, think about this: it was made during the cold war, when Russia wanted to prove they could make a much better film based on their national masterpiece than Hollywood did, (really... Henry Fonda as Pierre? Ridiculous...) and boy, did they. No expense was spared; many of the props and set dressing came from the national museums, and all the effects are practical. During the battle scenes, when you see thousands of soldiers clashing with explosions going off everywhere, as the camera sweeps over the battlefield, THAT'S ALL REALLY HAPPENING! It's split up into parts, so you can treat it like a mini-series. Janus Films (parent company to Criterion) also just recently restored the film, so that print is the best available since it's release in the late 1960s. Just thought you should know...

[@maplestreetmovies]

Erik Hughes man this is all such great information, hope you stick around. I could use your movie knowledge in the future! 🤣 thanks for telling us about Last Emperor! I kinda just assumed it was a foreign film, my b! Also that’s so good to hear about War and Peace! I was joking towards it in the video a bit but I really am genuinely interested in seeing it someday! One of those Criterions I know I want to own, but don’t know when I’ll actually buy it. Thanks for watching!! 😁

[@SkylarBug2012]

Just watched War and Peace. A truly excellent epic in scale and quality. Easily one of my favs.

[@Arl662]

"Odd Man Out" is a worthy purchase. Great film.

[@mnvikingsfan2010]

Haha I really enjoy Robinson Crusoe on Mars😂 Also, if you're a fan of classic horror, Carnival of souls is worth checking out. It has a B Movie feel to it, but it's creepy, has great cinematography, and a twilight zone worthy twist. Looks like you guys got some great titles though. I'm going to have trouble limiting myself when I go tomorrow 😬

Stanley Kubrick’s Dr.Strangelove or Stop worrying and Love the Bomb is the Best Black and White Film Ever.

[@zakwan10]

Just discovered this channel as I am a huge Criterion/foreign/independent film fan, but this video proves a lot of these "collectors" are nothing but hoarders and know nothing about the films they are just buying to put on shelves. The Last Emperor sounds a lot like Game Of Thrones?? hahha, has he watched the movie yet, I would love to hear his reaction when he learns that they are nothing alike.

[@maplestreetmovies]

zakwan10 in his defense it was his first time ever Criterion shopping 🤣 he hasn’t seen it yet, you’ll also notice that we called the movie a foreign film, which it’s not that either 🤣 collector’s don’t know everything my friend, we make mistakes too. Trust me, I’m far from a hoarder, if you watch my Criterion collection video you’ll see that I probably have one of the smallest collections on KZbin! Thanks for watching though! I have a lot more Criterion videos (and am hoping to make more soon), hope you can check them out. Would also love to get some recommendations on films! :)
