These look like they are all Echo Bridge, which is usually bad, right?

Amazon Warehouse Deals has Criterion's Three Colors Trilogy for 32.75 ($80 list). An excellent price for a fantastic set.

So it has been reported. Since I've never heard of any of those titles, it isn't as if I have any reason to find out if the Echo Bridge reputation for poor quality is deserved.

They're a bunch of Miramax titles that haven't just been picked up yet. "The Grifters" is a terrific noir film, easily the best regarded of the bunch. The rest are middling titles from "talents", -"Jersey Girl" is the Kevin Smith film, "Fortress" is Stuart Gordon's futuristic prison film, "Heaven" is from Tom Tykwer ("Run, Lola, Run"), "Full Frontal" is from Steven Soderbergh, and so on. Most people will disagree on which are the outright terrible titles and may grudgingly admit to loving one or two like a favorite cracked coffee mug. If you've got them on DVD, you're probably not going to gain much, but if you've not heard of them at all, a couple might be worth looking into, if only as an Amazon order-padder.

Thanks, bought.

I'm on my phone at an auction and couldn't get it pull up.

Personally, I'm a real big fan of The Grifters, Fresh, & Fortress. I suggest checking them out sometime.

Pretty much a YES. I'm gonna let reviewers take a chance on these.

Thought the same - but I can't resist pre ordering Jersey Girl for $6 - phenomenal underrated movie.

Great find! From reading the reviews, it appears I'll also be keeping my Miramax set for several significant extras that the Criterion set lacks. I've wanted to pick this up for a while. Excellent price.

What in particular would you be missing from the Criterion Blu? According to DVDBeaver almost everything is there.

From an Amazon review:

Bad news first. The wonderful full-length audio commentaries by film professor Annette Insdorf on the Buena Vista set are gone. Also gone are most of the interviews done by MK2 (producer Marin Karmitz's company) in 2001, with actresses Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, and Irene Jacob, editor Jacques Witta (for BLUE), and Karmitz (for BLUE and WHITE). Most of the MK2 featurettes are also gone: "A Discussion on Kieslowski's Later Years", "A Discussion on Working with Kieslowski", "Behind the Scenes of White with Kieslowski", and "Behind the Scenes of Red with Kieslowski". Selected scenes commentaries by Delpy and Jacob are also gone. Also noticeably missing are two student films by Kieslowski: "Concert of Wishes" and "The Office". All these valuable video and audio extras are NOT on the Criterion set. Needless to say, those who have the Buena Vista set should probably hold on to it.
