Amazon does not seem to price match all the Criterion sale titles but it's worth checking. TIP: Some films that are out of stock on the B&N site (and local stores) are available at 50% off on Amazon.

@@ElliotCoen unless it's the final week and b&n is oos, I say wait it out. They've been really good about replenishing those titles with haste. Blue Velvet 4K was out of stock on the first day of the sale but they had more just 2 days later. I'd rather give the sale to B&N and show Criterion that their outlet of choice is worthwhile.

I got a handful. Not as many as usual because Kino was having their sale at the same time...and now Arrow announced their sale also. They're trying to break us all with these concurrent sales. I ended up going with Pat Garrett, La Haine, Wings of Desire, Perfect Days, Risky Business, The Roaring Twenties, Lone Star, and The Underground Railroad.

I picked up - All that Money Can Buy (also known as The Devil and Daniel Webster) - absolutely phenomenal film. It was filmed by RKO in between Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons (which was pointed out in the supplements), and it really does feel like it. What a great blind buy, and I highly recommend! - The Victim Sin - very enjoyable classic, and a great blind buy. Heavy drama, music, and a little bit of Mexican noir! - I am Cuba - I haven't seen yet - Peeping Tom - Haven't seen yet And I think I'm going to head back and pick up Orson Welles's The Trial. I passed on it last year, and I think I'm ready to pick it up now.

As usual, these sales don't help anyone outside the US... These Amazon "sale" prices end up still being more expensive then buying regularly off of WowHD after the added import and shipping fees. This sale really doesn't extend out of the US at all as the regular prices on WowHD that are basically the same year round are still quite a bit cheaper. No UK benefit

@ElliotCoen 5 ай бұрын
WowHD was great when you didn’t have to pay VAT on top. You could get Criterion imports for £13 each. Haven’t used them since because their customer support has been woeful. They don’t get my recommendation but each to their own.

@@ElliotCoen that’s why you save up a couple of titles to buy at once. When you buy over £150 worth then you don’t get charged the VAT. It’s by far the best way of importing I have found for the price.

These sales are bloody dangerous! Lol. I picked up my first order today but I suspect next pay I might put one more in because there are still a handful I really want to pick up like the Pasolini 101 set, Roaring Twenties and The Trial. I wouldn't mind Pat Garret, World Cinema V 4 and Ranown Westerns 4k as well (though I also have the Indicator set). I do use a US based forwarding service to get these to Australia so it helps with these sales and other ones where the label won't ship directly OS like Shout Factory and Kino Lorber. Anyway for my first up haul I picked up 7 in total: The Lamorisse Red Balloon set, the Freaks set, Pinocchio 4k, Thelma and Louise 4k, Malcolm X 4k, Wall-E 4k and ... The new Barry Lyndon 4k set ....ok so I might be lying about that last one, sorry Elliott 😄. Final one was La Bamba on Blu ray. Can't wait to get them !

I ordered Lone Star, Thief, and Farewell, My Concubine. There is very little in the collection that I don’t have and still want. I’m nothing even close to a completist. I’d say they probably only release five or six titles a year I have any interest at all in owning - enough, with the occasional backlist title thrown in, to see me buy two or three each sale and be content. 🙂

They didn't have Bound in stock. All others I wish will be coming out later, so for next sale then.
