Got Ran, Contempt and Nights of Cabaria for $65. Not bad considering they're now OOP. By comparsion, the cheapest used Straw Dogs version (which I have) on Amazon is $27 As a result, they are my first Kurosawa, Godard and Fellini films I've bought. Are those are good films for those directors considering I've seen little else from them?

Macrame_God posted:Well, my copy of Nights of Cabiria has yet to ship yet and I bought it at the beginning of the sale. I'm starting to think I've been had. B&N had told me my copy would be shipping December 1st so maybe it's around that time for everyone else. They probably needed to getting to get all their copies together anyway due to it being OOP.

Macrame_God posted:The copy of Nights of Cabiria I ordered from B&N has yet to arrive. I got an email from B&N telling me that they're out of stock and if I still wanted the product to go to my purchase history on their website and confirm that I was still interested. They kept telling me that they're determined to get me a copy if I want it so bad, but I'm starting to get worried. It's been a month now and no Nights of Cabiria. It stinks for me since my wanted to expand my knowledge of Fellini which constitutes of just the first 20 min. of La Dolce Vita(I should rent it again). Maybe I should look at region 2 for a copy instead.

Which films set to go OOP are worth the money to buy at this point? I know some of them are important enough (Grand Illusion) but which versions would work in terms of them being a definitive version and never likely to be repeated by Studio Canal .

azechiel posted:I just watched Straw Dogs today and thought it was amazing. Easily the best Peckinpah movie I've seen. Same here although it's the only Peckinpah film I'm seen (bought the Criterion after finding out it was OOP). I should watch it again.

Had to stop into B&N for a magazine and decided to pick up a few discs for myself Complete Jean Vigo Great Dictator Kiss Me Deadly Paths of Glory Breathless I suppose I should've picked 1 in color or semi-recent but the selection wasn't great and these seem to be acceptable except to my wallet.

Egbert Souse posted:The Gold Rush and The 39 Steps are definite buys. I've been underwhelmed by Chaplin's film mainly from seeing only the 1942 version. The silent is supposed to be a much better film. I have the region 1 DVD and I agree, the 1942 version is a bit jarring to see after watching the 1925 version. Considering the 1st 3 were from volume 1 of the 2 volume Chaplin Collection, I expect Limelight to be next to round it off.

Nice to see Harold Lloyd getting the Criterion treatment. I expect that they'll push out his other works like they've been doing with Chaplin. Hopefully Speedy is next but odds are it'll be The Freshman if anything. Things to Come and Shoah seem slightly interesting although that'll have to wait until my wallet's replenished.

If anyone still has money after Criterion sales, Costco has a few new Criterions in stores for $20 each. While it might vary, I picked up It Happened One Night, La Dolce Vita, The Great Beauty & Tootsie.

Raxivace posted:There are days when I think Seven Samurai is the best movie ever made. I will say the movie is a bit more of slow burn than you may expect though, at least the first time watching it. I feel the same way, I felt no connection to anyone in the film and since it ended with everybody arguing with one another, pointless. Cinematography does not a film classic make.

My first thanks to a Jeopardy clue on it last night will likely be Rashomon due to it having piqued my family's curiosity. I've seen it but haven't gone though the extras so that'll be interesting. Hopefully they won't mind the subtitles

I think having Godzilla for #1000 is a great choice. Criterion looks for important classic and contemporary films and while they aren't French New Wave or Wes Anderson, to deny the big G a spot in film history to deny film itself. He is likely the gateway character for a lot of people to see Japanese cinema and to have all his Showa films in one place as intended for everyone to see for the first time is a tremendous accomplishment. Besides, #100 was the Beastie Boys. If they can get a milestone release, so can silly monster movies.

Cemetry Gator posted:I suspect that they'll stick at the $40 mark. Criterion is already priced too highly, and if you go too high, you just can't sell them. $60 for Citizen Cane isn't going to sell. Of course it wouldn't sell. It'd be too high and Criterion wouldn't sell a movie made by The Asylum

I'm more surprised that Disney would allow Criterion to access a Pixar title so to me it's a welcome addition. It's not the first Disney title to get the treatment so trying to be a gatekeeper for the brand is a fool's errand.

For what it's worth, Wikipedia now puts the film up on a movie's page if it's public domain in the US. They don't have every film yet but it looks to be a recent change
