Thanks for the tip but, alas, doesn't ship to Canada.
Will keep my eye out for more lower cost ones, though.

The one with the slip is now OOP. Imprint usually re-releases without the slip.

I came close to picking up the Straight Story, but since I own the VHS & dvd and it’s also streaming on D+, I decided I’d hold out for a Criterion.

I got mine for $10 from DeepDiscount. Wouldn’t be surprised if it drops to that again at some point.

Actually, they usually don't. Looking on their website, they've only reprinted 11 of their titles with a "Standard Edition", and 10 of those were spine #29 or lower. The Warriors is the only one in the last 2 years to get a Standard Edition, so it's unlikely that The Straight Story will get one at this point.

While on the topic of price for Lynch flicks, Inland Empire is up for pre-order on Amazon.ca for $60...just the bluray. Not a 4k or anything.
That's probably the most expensive I've seen a single film Criterion bluray listed.

I guess only paid attention the early ones I was interested in, like Hard Eight. But they’ve only been doing discs for 2 years.

2.5 years, but yeah, I fudged a little bit. #29 (the last reissue besides Warriors) was Feb. 2021, 22 months ago.

Noticed most of the other Criterion pre-orders are also that price on Amazon.ca, but I'm assuming they'll all drop. Unobstructed View has most of them at $54 list, and pre-order pricing around $41. Still steep for any movie, but at least UV does Criterion flash sales (albeit at less of a discount, usually).

They've been such a headache for me this year (see earlier in this thread) and, now that they go have gone down to 40 per cent off, in some instances, it was actually cheaper to order from Amazon.com and ship to Canada. I got Citizen Kane and Barry Lyndon cheaper then it would have cost from UV.

Will get Fisher King. On the fence of Triangle. Seventh Seal was released by BFI in the UK and that edition was encoded by Fidelity in Motion (David M.), so I already know that edition is top tier and will most likely be better than CC's.

Very cool to see Small Axe get a physical release.
Seventh Seal... I may upgrade. But that'd be my third or fourth time buying it.
Triangle of Sadness... I wasn't a fan, though the third act was great. Would have preferred Force Majeure, but this makes sense given their partnership with Neon.

Another Disney owned title? Interesting if true...

Del Toro's Nightmare Alley:

I attended a panel on Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio in Beverly Hills tonight. Afterwards, I got a moment with GDT and asked if the B&W version of Nightmare Alley is still getting released on disc because it doesn't look great on Hulu. He agreed with that and said, "It's coming from Criterion."

Pasolini 101

Coming in June, a major tribute to the Italian iconoclast Pier Paolo Pasolini, one of the most original and controversial thinkers of the 20th century.

Released in celebration of the 101st anniversary of Pasolini’s birth, this collector’s set provides an essential window onto a transformative period for an artist whose legacy remains a wellspring of freedom and revolutionary force. Including nine provocative, lyrical, often scandal-inducing films from the 1960s—Accattone, Mamma Roma, Love Meetings, The Gospel According to Matthew, The Hawks and the Sparrows, Oedipus Rex, Teorema, Porcile, and Medea—the decade in which this celebrated poet, novelist, and intellectual embarked on a feature filmmaking career, Pasolini 101 is a monument to the artist’s daring vision of cinema.

Also included: short films by Pasolini; archival interviews with filmmakers and scholars; documentaries on Pasolini’s life and career; deluxe packaging, including a 100-page book featuring an essay and notes on the films by critic James Quandt, and writings and drawings by Pasolini; and much more.

I was ready to be annoyed that the Servant was blu-ray only, but looking at the caps of the Studio Canal UHD, there's little to no extra detail when compared to the blu-ray. Hopefully the compression on the Criterion blu doesn't suck.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
My dream Criterion release would be a box-set of Bunuel movies, similar to that Pasolini (or Bergman) set.

Wow. After Hours and One False Move are two of the biggest "Criterion will get around to these someday" titles.

And a Ranown box set? I was just watching through my Indicator set again and lamenting just how bad the old masters in that set look. I'm a little disappointed Criterion couldn't secure Seven Men From Now, but I assume Warner Archive will get to it eventually.

It never occurred to me that the Ranown box set would be in UHD as well; even after looking at the listing on criterion.com, I had to have that pointed out to me! I'm very excited, especially since this'll dovetail with the B&N sale.

Yeah, after moving to other boutique labels for the sci-fi/horror stuff, to find myself interested in a box of westerns, of all things, is pretty surprising to myself. The westerns in the collection already that I've watched have been pretty good stuff so I may continue on with collecting them.

I'm happy After Hours is finally coming out and I love that cover!

However, after the long wait of this release I was hoping Crtierion would have produced new bonus material. New interviews and a recently made documentary would have been icing on the cake.

DJariya 04-14-23 11:45 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
The bonus content on One False Move is really light. Basically just a new interview with Franklin and Thornton.

The commentary is 23 years old from the old DVD release.

I am looking forward to Thelma and Louise on 4K once that gets on sale.


slop101 04-17-23 12:45 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
I get One False Move mixed up with A Simple Plan - both have Paxton and Thornton.
