Flash sale tomorrow at noon EST per an insider on Blu-ray.com Forums. For newcomers, it's 50% off MSRP off all in-stock releases (so, nothing OOP, backordered, or on preorder). Haxan is coming out tomorrow on Blu-ray, too, which is 100% worth getting sight unseen.

Flash sale is live. Think I'll be picking up Kwaidan and then one larger set. Trying to decide between Kiarostami's Koker Trilogy or the Pasolini Trilogy of Life.

so i'm getting the two movies i've been waiting for a sale to get (Do the Right Thing and Hedwig) but i think i'm gonna fill out my order with some Japanese cinema. I'm gonna get Kwaidan because it's spooky season, and I picked out another Kurasawa (Ikuru) and Vengeance is Mine, but i think i want one more. I think I should get a Mizoguchi as well, which one should I get?

VoodooXT posted:I’d say either Ugetsu or Sansho the Bailiff if you’re gonna go with Mizoguchi. he's the one major japanese director I don't already have something from. I've got Rashoman, I've got Tokyo Drifter, I've got Tokyo Story, I"ve got Death by Hanging, I've got Tampopo and House and Godzilla, i feel like that would fill a major gap in my ventures into Japanese film. I'll probably go with Ugetsu.

Story from Chikamatsu is good too, though I think Ugetsu and Sansho the Bailiff are better.

Almost forgot I had a $50 cert from March (finally got the points payoff), plus one $10 Criterion Channel one, so, I'm going for... 3 Silent Classics by Josef von Sternberg (replacing my DVD edition if anyone's interested in it) The Circus (replacing my DVD from 2000!) Haxan and...? I keep wanting to pick up the Demy set, but it's gigantic because it's still dual format and I'm kind of hoping for a Blu-only reissue that doesn't take up as much room. I will say that anyone who can afford it and is on the fence should absolutely pick up Ingmar Bergman's Cinema at the $150 sale price. Watching 40 of his films over a few months was extremely rewarding, especially since I had only seen four before. It's easily one of the best and most essential home video releases of all time.

drat, The Circus went into backorder right as I was checking out. Ended up getting The Koker Trilogy in its place.

If anyone needs a nudge, the most wonderful Criterion blind buys I've bought have been All That Jazz, The Red Shoes, and Harakiri. I was going to pick up the Qatsi trilogy today but it's out of stock. Right now I have Ikiru, Police Story, and Passion of Joan of Arc in my cart. I'm also considering The Makioka Sisters and Haxan.

I had Shallow Grave, Haxan, and Medium Cool in my cart but I still have like 15 things I haven’t watched from the last two sales, including the entire Tati set. Don’t Look Now had been gathering dust for two years until I finally watched it the other day.

You can buy it and thus trigger the ironic blu ray announcement because that's exactly how the universe works. I picked up Let the Sunshine In, Asphalt Jungle, and Silence of the Lambs. I was really, really tempted by The Lure. Anyone have any words on that? I was also tempted by Magnificent Ambersons, but something about studio edits irk me in the same way as Wong Kar Wai's The Grandmaster, which I still hope for a director's cut someday.

Kart Barfunkel posted:Having already seen and loved Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love and Chunking Express, what would be a good next step film to enjoy? Fallen Angels is an obvious next step: quote:Originally conceived by Wong as the third story for 1994's Chungking Express, it was cut after he decided that it was complete without it. He instead decided to develop the story further into its own feature film and borrowed elements of Chungking Express, such as themes, locations and methods of filming. Wanting to also try to differentiate it from Chungking and to try something new, Wong decided along with cinematographer Christopher Doyle to shoot mainly at night and using extreme wide-angle lenses, keeping the camera as close to the talents as possible to give a detached effect from the world around them. 2046 is a something of a spiritual (or otherwise?) sequel to In the Mood for Love, but I inexplicably still haven't seen it. Maybe the single oddest gap in my knowledge, given that I absolutely revere In the Mood for Love and especially Chungking Express, which I would say is one of my five favorite films.

Then Fallen Angels, Happy Together, and As Tears Go By. Finish up with 2046 if you want.

It's very average when compared to the half dozen masterpieces he's made.
