FMF is near the top of my list... should be well worth giving in to the temptation for either of those.

OK, shopping is complete and I only had to hit one B&N for everything I picked up!

The Complete Jacques Tati
The Big Chill
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Pickpocket
The Vanishing
F for Fake
All That Heaven Allows
All That Jazz
My Darling Clementine
Love Streams
Judex

I'll be heading back on the 21st for more stuff on my wish list, including some "re-buys" on Blu-ray.

A few days before the sale started, I went in to my local B&N and had them set aside a copy of La Dolce Vita and The Vanishing for me to pick up this Friday. I figured they'd be hot items this sale and I had trouble getting my hands on Scanners back in July, didn't want a repeat of that.

Does Amazon usually match this sale? I'm not a BN member and it would be beneficial to me if I could pick stuff up at Amazon instead.

Got a 20% off coupon in email this morning. Will be heading out to my local B&N at lunch to look for the Tati box.

EDIT: My store had a few copies behind the register, at first I thought they were out. Got it for $47.69 with coupon and member discount. If I get nothing else during this sale, I'm happy.

Mine was only 15%, but good enough to pick up La Dolce Vita.

Ended up using a 15% off coupon for My Darling Clementine and someone had mentioned that the art house section of films were also 50%, so I scooped up Only Lovers Left Alive, too.

so with the gift cards, are they valid to use in conjunction with the 50% discount, 10% members discount and any valid coupons you might have?

PS Thanks for the help Paul SD and ntnon.

You can use any giftcard you buy, of course, however the free $10 one you get if you buy a $75 giftcard will only work after December 25th.

speaking of gift cards, anyone out there buy a e-gift card online and have it take forever to get the card in your email? I bought a $75 e-gift card around 1pm cst and have yet to get it via email. My credit card is up to date and everything too!

My haul and I'm hoping to be my entire haul:

The Complete Jacques Tati
La Dolce Vita
The Vanishing
F is for Fake
All That Jazz

I will have to return and swap two of them out as I noticed they had razor blade slices either across the spine (La Dolce Vita) or part of the back (The Vanishing). When I went today I told the cashier about the problem and then found two more copies of La Dolce Vita that also had slices across the same area of the spine.

I've got an online 15% off a single item coupon that expires on Sunday if anyone is interested. I'll PM it to the first person who asks for it.

Would get the Tati set...if there's a 40% BF coupon this time around. It would bring it down to around 40 bucks...yeah, that's my kinda price point.

I paid $48 (inc. tax) for the Tati set with a 20% off coupon + the 10% off membership discount.

Got my copy of Vanishing with the 15% coupon (and my gift card). They had at least three copies of that one, so no worries. Still have $6 bucks and change on my gift card, if they release something ludicrous for BF like 40%, then I'll go back and get Macbeth. Else, I'll just hold off.

Ordered the Nikkatsu Noir eclipse set on the website and got these from my local B&N:









Money is tight this month, but I might grab a couple more when the coupons start flowing.
