At DD my order would have been 97.82 because Brute Force is 31.88 not on sale.

At Dvdplanet my order came to 82.71 after using the -7.00 off code and
-5.00 off award money and I went with standard shipping which was 4.80 more than the media mail free shipping.

Are there only specific titles included? Yojimbo/Sanjuro doesn't seem to be on sale at all at DVDPlanet.

You have to click on the item/add it to your cart to see the sale price

Thanks for posting, I've been wanting to check out the Idi Amin doc.

I went with Deep Discount (17.97) to avoid the temptation of spending more to get free shipping or to use a coupon.

Well, that would be one reason to go with DD.
:beer2:

it's just a 40% sale, dont be guilable...this happens every couple of months..god.

Why are there 2 different Criterion releases of Fanny and Alexander?

The cheaper one is the shorter theatrical cut; the more expensive is a 5-disc set with both theatrical and television cuts, along with a load of additional features. It's WELL worth the extra cost to get the bigger release. One of my favorite DVDs!

oh wow thank you for saving us all

A sale like this doesn't happen every couple of months, so I'm probably going to spend more than I should here...

So far I ordered:

Army of Shadows
Sansho the Bailiff
Fires on the Plain
The Burmese Harp
add a $7 off coupon for a total of $76.88

And I'll probably make a few other orders before the end of the sale.

Hidden Fortress
General Idi Amin Dada

17.97 each = total 35.94

didn't want to search a whole lot of pages and have been wanting hidden fortress and the amin story seems interesting.

thanks OP!

any recommendation for kicking and screaming? I've been intrigued in this for a long time. I do not purchase many criterions so I would like to get any possible feedback.

I wouldn't get it man. I don't even know why it got a Criterion. Go for something better.

Did you hear they took guilable out of the dictionary? Oh, wait, it was never there.......the word is gullible

Ugh! I just ordered some CC last week or so and got 2 of them yesterday with the Complete Monterey Pop set en route to me. Well at least I used the $10 GCO savings for some orders and blew 1000 bonus points to cover most of the Monterey set.
By the way, I got the new Bicycle Thieves a while back and that is one gorgeous edition. I'll see what else I need soon.

Just ordered the Bergman and Malle eclipse sets.

What Ozu set???

Fires on the Plain
Burmese Harp
Pandora's Box

For me. Also ordered 3 Kino titles to keep everything right around $100

It deservedly has a nice cult following, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Do you like Slacker, Tapeheads, Withnail & I, movies by Whit Stillman, Eric Schaeffer, Wes Anderson, and Hal Hartley (not to mention The Squid and the Whale and Mr. Jealously if you've seen them)? If so, it's at least a must-rent. If not, you probably want to skip it.

It's far from a perfect film but personally I love it, FWIW.

The next Eclipse release after the Malle set will be Late Ozu in June, featuring:

Early Spring
Tokyo Twilight
Equinox Flower
Late Autumn
The End of Summer

Maybe it will show up on DVDPlanet before the end of the sale.

Picked up the Rebel Samurai box for <$60.

I just got the Monsters and Madmen set AND Fiend Without A Face for $62.00 shipped (after coupon and points). Wheeeeeeeee!

Yes it is.

Has anybody seen the upcoming version of the Third Man at DVDPlanet or DDD?

Does DVDPlanet charge your credit card on shipment or on order?
