Well, list price is $130, so around $65 during BN sale.

Modern Times!


Hopefully The Great Dictator next.....

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Whoops, I was looking at the DVD price. Still a good bargain, considering all of the discs are stacked with extras, including commentaries on 5 of the 6 titles.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Holy, great month of Criterion releases, Batman!

What's even better is The Night of the Hunter and Modern Times comes out on my birthday!!!!

God I hope the B&N sale returns in November or I'm gonna be more than just broke.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Finally, the BBS set is announced. Been looking forward to this for well over a year. It looks absolutely brilliant. Please, B&N, make sure your next sale coincides with its release, okay? ;) (If it doesn't, I'm buying it anyway...I'm not waiting until next summer for this one).

What a tremendous year for BD this is turning out to be. Apocalypse Now and this set are now my two most anticipated releases of the year. Thank you, Criterion, for making my wallet lighter yet again.

EDIT: Is the listing of six discs for the BD version on their site an error? If not, then I guess two films are sharing a disc. Seems odd.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Night of the Hunter is two BDs (like the pricier Seven Samurai BD release); this is the reason, I assume, for the higher price tag.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'm in for Modern Times and Night of the Hunter. I'm still undecided about Antichrist.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Not an error... Criterion announced on their Facebook page that "Drive, He Said" and "A Safe Place" would be on one blu-ray disc.

So many films I want....

We do have another B&N sale right? Cuz if so...I'm soooooooooo blowing about $500 fast for all these and others which are like 3 previously released that I don't have yet.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Waitaminute... Waitaminute.

We're getting The Monkee's HEAD on BLU-RAY from CRITERION?!?!

Wow.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Yes indeed. This set was once suggested to be coming from Sony alone. I really doubt Sony would have put all these films out on BD themselves; it probably would have been a DVD release with the "prestige" titles only on BD. (Easy Rider is, of course, already out).

Then word came Criterion was involved and now all these movies come our way on BD.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Ah, so that's it...thanks!

I really should try to keep up with that page.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Out of all of those, I'll only be getting Night of the Hunter.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

just got my cases for Bottlerocket, Chungking Express, and The Man Who Fell To Earth. Paid for it last week...and BAM...got them today. Fast service for sure....

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

haha. Yeah, supposedly 2 weeks is when you get them but a week is damn fast....

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

If I order cases for The Leopard and Che, will they send a slim 2-disc case or 2 single disc cases? If it's the latter, I won't bother for Che since that is how they come already. I'm just trying for a uniform look on my cases.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I didn't think there were cases for those two.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

^ Yeah, those cases (as well as Brakhage, etc.) are intentionally and only in the larger cardboard cases.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

For anyone interested, here is a link to every criterion title available on netflix or not. It's not my list but its certainly nice to know.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Wait, so packaging takes precedence over the film itself? :confused:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I've been meaning forever to switch my cases,

who do I contact at criterion about getting new cases?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

"Replacement Blu-ray Cases
Criterion now offers replacement plastic cases for their early Blu-ray titles that came in Digipaks. To order replacement cases you can send a PayPal payment to [email protected] with your address. According to Criterion the cases are $5 each (including shipping) for domestic orders (it's been reported that Criterion is no longer sending international.) If you order more than two cases in an order, each case after the initial two are $2.50 each (for three cases the cost would be $12.50 if ordered domestically.) For more information contact [email protected]."

I ordered a replacement case for Chungking Express and I received it in about a week.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

thanks for the reminder, I ordered 9 this morning, and got reply that my order had shipped within 3 hours!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I don't think they're making replacements for those, unless something has changed the list I saw just has these:

The Third Man
The Last Emperor
The Man Who Fell To Earth
Bottle Rocket
Chungking Express
The 400 Blows
The Last Metro
El Norte
Last Year At Marienbad

Edit: NM I missied NoirFan's & cgray's reply before :)

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Agreed. I just watched it, and would strongly caution those considering a blind buy. Methinks there will be many "viewed once" copies available on half.com shortly following its release.
