John Drew Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Picked up these three tonight. A bit of a theme going on this time (a few more of these sales, and I should have all the Criterion samurai titles).

Evan C Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sorry for the topic diversion, but since I had a generous gift card, which I had been saving for the sale, I picked up these as well.

Kagemusha was at the top of my list, but I couldn't find a Blu-ray copy. Maybe later in the month I'll order it, or try again in November.

Evan C Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Charade was at the top of mine, but I couldn't find the Blu-ray anywhere in the store, even though the computer said it was in stock, so I figured I'd wait until next sale.

I would try placing a hold on it at your store via the website. If the employees can't find it, you can often do a ship-to-home order where you still get the membership discount. I'm not sure if you have to be at your store to do that, or if you could do it over the phone. Quote Qua Humbug | @du_Garbandier Link to post Share on other sites
John Drew Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Checked back in at my B&N, and picked up a copy of the restocked Kagemusha blu-ray. Then I went over budget and picked up Stalker, which they only got in today. I must say, Kagemusha may have the most beautiful accompanying booklet of any Criterion film I've come across.

I see that this post is from last summer, but I can't agree more. There's a book out there of Kurosawa's painted storyboards for RAN also, which I really need to just buy some time.

Joshua Wilson Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I was only going to get one disc due to financial prudence, but due to an unexpected refund, I was able to get the Dietrich-Von Sternberg set and ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joshua Wilson Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Nice, Evan. I'm holding out for the sweet MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS release at the end of the month. If I can swing another title, I will go with something on my long list of coveted favorites... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've skipped the last several sales, but it makes sense for me to pick up a few titles for the girls to give me for Christmas. Everybody wins. So I grabbed PHOENIX, but the other two I really want--PERSONAL SHOPPER and NASHVILLE--were not in stock at the store I went to.

Darren H Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I had a coupon and needed to buy a book and then somehow Only Angels Have Wings, Moonrise, Cat People, and The Black Stallion found their way into my shopping cart.

Nick Alexander Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 There's a flash Criterion Sale going on at the Criterion.com website, right now, only a few hours left. I just purchased Blus of Some Like It Hot, Mildred Pierce, and A Matter of Life and Death.

kenmorefield Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Amazon's "Prime Day" is pretty underwhelming, but but most of the Criterions are another 5-10 $ off from Barnes & Noble sale if any sets or Blu-rays are at or near your squeal point.

Christian Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 A Criterion fan I follow on Twitter has retweeted a follower of his claiming the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale starts July 10. I don’t see confirmation on bn.com yet, but I’m hoping this report is confirmed soon. It’ll be the first such sale under the chain’s new owner. I wasn’t sure he’d continue with the Criterion sales, so I’m encouraged.

Overstreet Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 The sale is totally on... and I am in torment. Too short of spending cash to participate this time. So many titles I'm drooling over. Quote P.S.

I've said it before, but I think - I think - that Three Colors trilogy is the crown jewel of my DVD/Blu-ray collection, although I wonder how much of that ranking is just my subjective response to the films themselves (and not so much the Criterion presentation, which is, to my eyes, exceptional - although again, that reaction may be colored by my deep love of Blue and Red). I'll be curious to hear if you have a similar reaction. In the Criterion trilogy department, I'll add that I used the final Saturday of the sale to buy the Antonioni "alienation" trilogy that so affected me when I watched the standard-def Criterion DVDs in the run-up to the 2020 A&F Top 100 vote. I've yet to watch the Blus, but am looking forward to doing so soon.
