I ordered a few of them. Couldn't pass up that price.
Thanks OP!

Wow...never see a good sale like this on Criterions. Grabbed a few, thanks!

Thats the regular price for it.

Picked up everything except Equinox, which I already have.

amd555 09-22-07 08:43 AM

too bad it is limited to these titles, I wanted some other criterion titles, but they were not on sale.

samper 09-22-07 09:00 AM

awsome deals.

JackBurton 09-22-07 09:01 AM

Thanks! I picked up Equinox and Monsters & Madmen.

novaag 09-22-07 09:38 AM

Looks like this is ending quickly. I had Canterbury tale in my cart at 14$, and a few minutes later when I went to checkout it was up to 35$.

kenbuzz 09-22-07 09:47 AM


equinox - 14.00
an angel at my table -14.40
a canterbury tale - 14.40
when a woman ascends the stairs - 14.40
green for danger - 14.00
jigoku - 10.00
flowers of st. francis $10.80
border radio $14.40
monsters and madmen $28.80
The dealio may be ending.... A Canterbury Tale (CC) is back to $35.99 :(

If you're on the fence, you may need to pull the trigger quickly.

I took the plunge on Equinox, Jigoku, and Monsters/Madmen. 6 Criterion Flicks, 7 Discs, for $53. Thanks OP!

An Angel at My Table
Jigoku
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Green for Danger

Canterbury Tale at 35.99 made that decision easy for me

alfonsosoriano 09-22-07 09:55 AM

Fuck it, I'm in for Green for Danger (wanted to see this for quite some time) and Equinox (looks like my type of thing) as well. So I came out with Equinox, Jigoku, Monsters/Madmen, and Green for Danger as long as this all holds up. Now I really need to stop buying things.

Yes, you're completely in the dark. Pre-orders and new titles (for a couple of days or sometimes weeks) are 35% off, regular titles are 0-15% off, and when rarely they have a CC sale, the included ones are 40% off.

Spiral Staircase 09-22-07 09:58 AM

Thanks for the tip Jasko.

I ordered The Flowers of St. Francis, Jigoku, and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. Unfortunately, I already have all of the others, except Border Radio.

kenbuzz 09-22-07 10:07 AM

I've paged thru all of the 400+ Criterions at Amazon. The folllowing seem to be the ones that are priced atypically low:

An Angel At My Table $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)
Beastie Boys DVD Video Anthology $16.97 (reg $29.98, 44% off)
Border Radio $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)
Equinox $14.00 (reg $39,95, 65% off)
The Flowers of St Francis $10.80 (reg $29.95, 64% off)
Green For Danger $14.00 (reg $39.95, 65% off)
Jigoku $10.00 (reg $29.95, 67% off)
Monsters and Madmen Collection $28.80 (reg $79.95, 64% off)
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)

All of these titles have been previously mentioned - I did not find any new ones. The previously mentioned "dealio" for Beales of Grey Gardens ($14.99) is Amazon's regular price. A Canterbury Tale has reset back to it's regular $35.99 price.

It appears that Amazon's regular prices for their Criterions are $x.99, with box sets priced $x.95. All of the discounted titles in this thread end in prices other than $x.99 or $x.95. Something to file away for future refence, I suppose.

kefrank 09-22-07 10:20 AM

this is really tempting, as i was just looking at criterion.com yesterday and two of the movies i wanted to check out most were Green for Danger and Jigoku. however, i have to slow down on buying, especially blind buying. so, i'm torn.

cine 09-22-07 10:21 AM

An Angel At My Table and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs back to their regular price.

Arpeggi 09-22-07 10:25 AM

Ordered Jigoku for $10 this morning.

andrew hein 09-22-07 10:27 AM

I picked up Equinox, Monsters and Madmen, and Green for Danger. Thanks OPP

"Woman" is still showing up at the lesser price for me.

Laser Movies 09-22-07 10:58 AM

I checked this morning and my order is already in the shipping soon phase. I went with free shipping. If it is a price mistake it looks like I may get my DVDs shipped before they can cancel the order. Thanks to the OP for posting the deal.

cine 09-22-07 11:02 AM

The price of When a Woman Ascends the Stairs changed again to $14.40.

Brent L 09-22-07 11:05 AM

I just bought Green for Danger and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. I would've bought Jigoku as well but it wasn't at the right price for me - when viewing it on the site it said $10, but when I put it in my cart and started to check out it was at the higher price. I think I missed it by a matter of minutes. :(

Sweet Baby James 09-22-07 11:17 AM

Since the prices are starting to be corrected, I wasted no more time and put in an order for Equinox and Green for Danger. A huge thanks to the OP!

D_N_G 09-22-07 11:21 AM

Grabbed Green for Danger, Woman Ascends the Stairs and the Monsters and Madmen Box! Thanks OP!!!

Cameron 09-22-07 11:25 AM

Jigoku is showing 26.99 now

Sweet Baby James 09-22-07 11:38 AM

WTF, I went back and picked up Monsters and Madmen as well.:)

bdots48 09-22-07 11:57 AM

I've really cut down on my buying but I had to get in on this - Green for Danger and the Naruse. Great deals! (Jigoku was gone by the time I checked in)

Ginwen 09-22-07 12:16 PM

Thanks OP and others. I too picked up Monsters And Madmen.

Ditto. Thanks for the heads up OP! :up:

Subgeniusguy 09-22-07 12:33 PM

Got in on Monsters & Madmen, Green for Danger, Woman Ascends, and Equinox. Would have ordered others but the prices apparently went up. Thanks a bunch OP. 3 Criterions plus a Criterion boxset for 71.20 shipped is a great deal. Do not hesitate. Deal already gone on some titles.

Gobear 09-22-07 12:43 PM

I should have woken up earlier--I missed out on Jigoku, a wishlist title that I would have jumped on like a shot!

Stilll, getting 5 movies (Monsters and Madmen set plus Green for Danger) for $42.20 is still a great deal! Thanks OP!

Oy, my aching credit card!

domino harvey 09-22-07 01:02 PM

Green For Danger is one of the best Criterions released this year, all of you blind-buying it are in for a super-treat!

We're sorry!

I went to my order history and it's there - Monsters and Madmen 28.80, Green For Danger 14.00. I had tried adding Jigoku and Canterbury Tales but the prices had already gone up, so I scrambled for the checkout - maybe just in time.

MikeShaynePI 09-22-07 01:15 PM

Wow, glad I didn't get Monsters and Madmen at Borders this week for $50. Good things come to those who wait.

Damn Equinox has already gone up. At least I got Monsters and Madmen, I hope.

Sweet Baby James 09-22-07 01:18 PM

Equinox is now back up to $35.99.:(

tantheman 09-22-07 03:23 PM
