Did you put the lotion in the basket?Anyone have The Silence of The Lambs?
I recently got it (dvd) off ebay and it has one disc and no booklet. Is that right or wrong?
Anyone have The Samurai Trilogy? Love/ like/dislike?Flash sale at Criterion
Not really my thing. I did get the Rossellini War Trilogy.Anyone have The Samurai Trilogy? Love/ like/dislike?
Haven't seen any of the films. They all have good imdb ratings, so thinking about getting it.
I want to try it but I haven’tanyone doing the streaming service? Do they have commentaries on there?

Thief of Bagdad looks great. Haven't watched it in some time but I believe there a few missing frames and a few scratches. It's from 1940 so you gotta expect there could be some minor flaws. And the special effects may not look great for our time, but it 1940 they were beyond excellent. Still the best print of that film from what I've read. And the extras are excellent as with all/most Criterion's. Lent to my then 25 year old niece and she enjoyed it. My first Criterion.Hell yeah
Also, saw you have The Thief of Bagdad. How does that one look? Anyones that strike you as especially good or disappointing? The criterion set-up, not the actual movie itself.

The Killers. Big Burt Lancaster fan. Having never seen the movies, I first went through some of the supplements including the reading of Hemingway's short story by Stacy Keach. The original 1946 film was spot on. Among others it has a 1956 Russian student film version co directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. Co written (uncredited) by John Huston. Lancaster, William Conrad, Ava Gardner, Edmund O'Brien. Supplements here are extensive and great.
The 1964 version should not have had Hemingway's name on it imo. But it was good too. Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, John Cassavetes, Claude Akins, Norman Fell. Ronald Reagan's final film ( and him playing a bad guy). This one comes from the point of view of The Killers while the original did not. My second Criterion after hearing Robert Osborne mention it on TCM.
My local store had a lot more available that was in stock online.Barnes and Noble 50% off on now. Their availability is not great. Many not in stock.
Just spent $124 on Criterion's between there and ebay. 7 titles, only 1 of which I have seen.
Had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket - got Rules of the Game and the Fisher King.It’s the home stretch—your last chance to save! All Criterion Blu-rays and DVDs are 50% off at Barnes & Noble, both online and in stores, through Sunday, August 2.
To keep this a Criterion thread, I'll PM you some titles.Seeing this thread bumped, I may as well put this question here... I upgraded to a 4K Blu Ray player a few months ago. Anything that would be good to test thing out?
(While I enjoy Criterion discs and partial to the classics, I guess it does not necessarily need to be Criterion or a classic.)
Barnes and Nobles having their 50% off sale. Debating whether to pull the trigger on a pre-order of the Fellini box set.
I ended up getting the Fellini box set as a gift for Christmas. I still need to get into the movies (14 film collection). The display is a beauty though with a couple of inserts with essays on Fellini and background on each film.Barnes and Nobles having their 50% off sale.

I’ve only seen 3 or 4. One of the selling points of the set for me is it has a a lot of movies of his that I haven’t seen, and have been meaning to get my hands on. Watched the first movie that he was a co-director on — “Variety Lights” — today for the first time, and it was great.How many of the films have you seen before?
I waited a bit too long as it seemed like my targets were out of stock. Still bought:
