Whoops, I spoke too soon. Some (smallish) discounts that I did not see the last time I scanned Amazon's Criterion titles:

Cria Cuervos $26.49 (reg $39.95, 34% off)
Hopscotch $21.49 (reg $29.95, 29% off)
Mala Noche $22.49 (reg $29.95, 25% off)
Dazed & Confused $23.49 (reg $39.95, 42% off)
Walkabout $22.49 (reg $29.95, 25% off)
The Complete Mr. Arkadin (aka Confidential Report) $30.49 (reg $49.95, 39% off)

I think some of these these are newly added. There are 414 titles now, there were 406 (or 407) earlier today.

Ordered Monsters and Madmen...great price, probably better than DD sale. Too bad I got home from seeing movies too late to get some others.

Those of you who got in on the deals before prices returned to normal should let us know if you actually receive what you ordered for the price listed. I ordered a bunch of Seinfeld sets awhile back on an amazingly low Amazon price. Turns out the price was an error and they billed me the full amount for everything about a week after my order arrived. Now I tend to be more cautious.

If you're talking about the great BOGO fiasco of December 23, 2006(a date that will live in infamy), then I would agree with you-free is an amazingly low price.-wink-

PopcornTreeCt 09-22-07 05:12 PM

I got shipping confirmation for Green for Danger, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Border Radio and Monsters & Madmen set all at the discounted price.

HE Pennypacker 09-22-07 05:34 PM

I was in on this rather early in the game, yet no shipping emails for me. I hope I get it!

NoirFan 09-22-07 05:35 PM

Green for Danger is no longer on sale. Ordered Monsters and Madmen though. Big thanks to the OP on this one.

Nth Power 09-22-07 05:43 PM

Got the shipping email for my entire order. Great find. Thanks again OP!

Gobear 09-22-07 05:44 PM

The Brazil set is $24.99! Awesome deal (if I didn't already own it).

Chasing Amy: Criterion is available for $14.99 and Night and Fog is $10.99 if anyone needs to round out an order for free shipping.

That's the single-disc edition. The 3-disc set is $53.99

izatright 09-22-07 06:01 PM

Chasing Amy and Night and Fog are standardly priced.

Anyway, they set my ship date at Sep 27th. I wonder if it's because I ordered so much or if I live further than those who got their ship dates for today.

Arpeggi 09-22-07 06:09 PM

Did you choose Free Super Saver Shipping? They wait a few days before shipping when you use that method.

Thats the single disk...

Adboy151 09-22-07 06:18 PM

Green for Danger and Monsters & Madmen have shipped. Jigoku has yet to ship out.

I'm in the same boat. I placed my order no more than fifteen minutes after the OP was up, but my order is still in "Shipping Soon" status.

Gobear 09-22-07 08:21 PM

Oops, sorry. I misread the descrption.

GoldenJCJ 09-22-07 11:04 PM

Well, I'm in for Monsters and Madmen. I figured I'd regret it if I didn't jump on it right now.

Harold Chasen 09-23-07 12:08 AM

Sweet! Almost missed this entirely, but I'm in for Beastie Boys, St Francis, Border Radio, When A Woman..., and the grand prize, Monsters and Madmen.

Excellent catch! Thanks!

SeymourGams 09-23-07 12:50 AM

Couldn't decide which of these I wanted last night (was trying to prevent myself from buying them all), so I guess Amazon picked for me. I'll be kicking myself for this because two I really wanted are back up. Oh well.

Picked up: Border Radio, Monsters and Madmen (WOO!), When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, and The Flowers of St. Francis.

justbarelymovin 09-23-07 11:55 AM

Looks like everything went back up except for Border Radio, The Flowers of St. Francis, and Monsters and Madmen. Ordered all three. Bummed that I missed out on some of the others! I was just thinking, "there haven't really been any fantastic DVD deals lately... I can't remember the last time I ordered something" - and then, BAM! And, of course, it's one of the times I'm not avidly checking back. I would've really enjoyed Green for Danger! Still, got some good deals. Thanks, OP & others!

hellmutt 09-23-07 11:57 AM

I really wanted to pick something up. Checked out the Monsters/Madmen set. In the end I just couldn't see paying $30 for something I probably wouldn't watch ;)

tlwizard 09-23-07 12:56 PM

Can't believe I missed this thread yesterday.

Well, thanks to the OP, I've at least been able to pick up Monsters & Madmen, which I've had on my list for a while. Also decided to try out Border Radio and Flowers of St. Francis at those prices.

takingchase 09-23-07 06:50 PM

damn, I'm so pissed I missed out on equinox and green for danger, would have also liked to pick up jigoku as a blind buy but I was able to pick up monsters and madmen.

jdpatri 09-23-07 07:45 PM

Picked up Monsters and Madmen and A Woman Ascends the Stairs. Like most I would have ordered more had I not already owned Green for Danger and Jigoku.

I've been waiting to pick up the M&M set since release. Thanks OP and everyone else for listing all the details.

ParadiseVendors 09-23-07 08:15 PM

I grabbed Monsters and Madmen. Now I just hope I dont get charged the full price when it ships.

marty888 09-23-07 08:15 PM

Couldn't resist - jumped in for <i>Monsters & Madmen</i>.

Mosskeeto 09-24-07 01:47 AM

I see that the prices have jumped on When A Woman Ascends...and The Flowers Of St. Francis. Monsters And Madmen is still cheap.

alfonsosoriano 09-24-07 06:46 AM

Got my shipping notice for Equinox and Green for Danger. This was the second order I made too, I wonder why it shipped quicker? The price is $14 a piece, niiice.

I doubt you will. Amazon probably has a shitload of these which weren't selling.

I'm sure there are other shitload of titles in Criterion line-up. Amazon may as well put those for similar prices too. I won't mind buying them all ;)

Wish I would have found this sooner, really wanted Green for Danger and A Canterbury Tale, but settled for Border Radio and Monsters & Madmen set

Heliosphann 09-24-07 09:04 AM

NOOOO!

I brought up Monsters and Madmen and it came up as $28, then I put it in my cart and it came up as $71. Then I went back to the main page and the price was also changed!

Oh well, somebody on marketplace was selling it new for $26! Got it for $29 shipped, so hopefully that'll work out.

Interesting, yesterday only one seller had it for that: Amazon. The next seller was around $50.

Mosskeeto 09-24-07 03:37 PM

I've gotten a shipping notice for one order of 4 titles but not the second order which was Monsters And Madmen even though it was placed not much later. Free shipping chosen.

blokhed 09-24-07 04:36 PM

Tried for St. Francis, but it's already back to $26. Shoot.

Cosmic Bus 09-24-07 04:46 PM

My order from Saturday morning hasn't even entered "shipping soon" status, but at least the prices are still reflecting the discount.

gryffinmaster 09-24-07 04:52 PM

Well, crap. I would've snatched up When a Woman Ascends the Stairs if I had seen this in time. :(
