A few Criterions on sale at WGBH
Kagemusha for $11.70
Ran for $11.70
Sword of Doom for $8.70
Shipping is around 9 bucks, plus there's sales tax, but it's probably worth it if you're interested in all three. You also get a free Oliver Twist Mini-series DVD with every order, and a coupon for 20% off your next purchase.

The british version of the office is also on sale for $8.70 and $7.20 (season 1 and season 2), shipping kind of kills it unless you are ordering other things.

Thanks for posting this, NoirFan! 
I picked up Bogie & Bacall: The Signature Collection for only $11.70... I haven't seen any of the four films in the set, but at that price, I couldn't resist, especially with the Oliver Twist set thrown in as a bonus. I didn't get charged any sales tax, just $5.95 shipping.
BTW, they have the wrong picture listed for Lady Chatterley.
Here's the description:
...and here's the picture.

Here's the description:
Based on the notorious novel by D.H. Lawrence, French director Pascale Ferran’s award-winning Lady Chatterley is “the most frankly sensual movie in memory”—Los Angeles Times. Marina Hands (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) is a nobleman’s wife trapped in a marriage without emotional or physical fulfillment; Jean-Louise Coulloc’h is a gamekeeper. The two unite in a love both erotic and innocent, transcending class prejudices and personal inhibitions. In French with optional English subtitles. 2 hours 41 min on 1 DVD. For mature audiences.

Thanks for pointing this out, OP! Picked up the Criterions along with some other stuff.
I wasn't charged sales tax either, even though I live in the state WGBH is in. Could they charge me for the tax after the order was placed?

Re: A few Criterions on sale at WGBH
I placed my order for Kagemusha last night right after seeing this thread. When I viewed the item again a couple of minutes later, it said "Out of Stock." When I viewed it again a couple of minutes after that, the link no longer worked. Got in just under the wire!
I already have all of the other Criterions listed, but I did pick up the Bogie & Bacall set too.
Great deal, thanks for posting!

Re: A few Criterions on sale at WGBH
I just got an E-mail saying that Ran and Kagemusha are now "discontinued." I've sent them an E-mail requesting that my entire order be canceled - I don't think the shipping fee is worth it anymore, especially when Ran and Kagemusha were the ones I particularly wanted.
Thanks, guys!

But the Bogie & Bacall set shipped, along with the free Oliver Twist DVD, and The War book autographed by Ken Burns (for $15!), so I can't complain. They also adjusted the shipping to account for one less item.
