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

Modern Times!


Hopefully The Great Dictator next.....

NoirFan

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.

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.

Superdaddy

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.

Superdaddy

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.

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

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

Solid Snake

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.

soop

Waitaminute... Waitaminute.

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

Wow.

Superdaddy

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.

Superdaddy

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

I really should try to keep up with that page.

Supermallet

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

Solid Snake

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....

Solid Snake

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

zekeburger1979

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.

NoirFan

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

cgray

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

jiggawhat

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.

Wait, so packaging takes precedence over the film itself?

quackers

I've been meaning forever to switch my cases,

who do I contact at criterion about getting new cases?

JayDerek

"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.

redbill

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

josepotato

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

BuckNaked2k

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.
