what's the packaging usually like on them?

I have the 3 Disc version of Seven Samurai - it is a cardboard sleeve(Kind of rustic/recycled in style), very well designed and looks beautiful on your shelves. If packaging is your thing, you're in for a treat! The set itself is magnificent - the restoration is great and it is the full length version.

I've got the original Criterion, but I've been thinking about picking up the 1 disc re-release for the upgraded picture and the anamorphic widescreen. Since my tv sucks though, I can't justify it right now :(
If you can't see the immediate value, then I'd hold off. The non-anamorphic image quality is good.

It looks like The Third Man is out of print. Are the planning a reissue of this, or did they just lose the rights?

I remember hearing a new version was coming out. It was supposedly around November time this year. Here's hoping.

The Dazed and Confused transfer is very nice - rich and vibrant. A top tier Criterion if I do say so myself!

Fantastic news - Bottle Rocket is one of those films I have meant to watch, but never got round to. Criterion releasing it will force me to import it. I love the style that they went for with Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic; The extras are superb (In fact, the 'Max Fischer Players Present...' shorts are my favourite extra of all time)

Damnit - I have spaffed a load of cash on the following at DVD Planet :

Third Man
400 Blows
Au Revoir Les Enfants
Le Samourai
Yojimbo/Sanjuro
Spirit of the Beehive
My Own Private Idaho
Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp
Kind Hearts and Coronets
Days of Heaven
Les Enfants Terribles
Breathless
If...
La Jetee/Sans Soleil
Night and Fog

Worked out at $300 + Shipping to the UK (Ouch!). These are ones I have been meaning to pick up for a while - I am getting buyers regret on my Own Private Idaho now though - Was it really worth the upgrade on the normal R2 version?

Edit : Forgot to say thanks to those who posted the codes - I was waiting till this sale to buy them!
