>buying movies
KEK

I never get what's wrong with buying movies

Fantastic Planet and Inside Llewyn Davis.

I'm going to be getting their release of The New World as well but they never have their pre-sales marked down w/ the discount.

first post worst post

only on Sup Forums a place for shitposts.

Red river
Early summer
Samurai Rebellion

McCabe and Mrs Miller and chimes at midnight come out in August so come have to save those shekels for those 2

Tokyo drifter for sure. Don't know if I should get another criterion, or wait for the Amazon sale to pick up the Vengeance trilogy on bluray

He's poor.

>Sale

Buying a movie at the normal price because they inflate prices before the sale, isn't a sale.

Hopefully amazon has a sale after The New World releases, that's all I want.

I'd buy movies if hooking my PS3 up to my monitor wasnt such a hassle. maybe I should get an HDMI switcher

This

Fuck criterion. $40 for one fucking movie.

Dekalog would be my first choice. Have it on DVD but Blu Ray would be great.

Waste of dubs.

A Brighter Summer Day is a nice pick
Not sure I'd buy the others.

Barnes and Noble? We don't have them here

>tfw the sale is happening a month before McCabe and Mrs. Miller gets released
Why is Criterion so cruel?

You can order online I think

Good picks OP. Gonna be picking up Like Someone In Love myself, maybe some others too.

Tbh I don't have any money. How long does this last?

I believe it lasts a week usually

Don't listen to this fagIt'll last for the month and then come back in November like it does every year.

Hm, well I'll still have no money then

The Red River release is fucking great.

I'm gonna pick up The Seventh Seal

How much lower are the prices normally?

Get a job poorfag.

It lasts until August 1 I think

>being a wage cuck

Is it true there's more shit criterion movies than good ones?

50% off the usual Barnes and Noble price, but they usually mark their blu rays up $10 so most will probably cost $20.

I'm thinking about getting Paris, Texas and maybe The Graduate

>mfw Pan's Labyrinth is getting a release

As someone who enjoys watching the supplements and are a frequent re-watcher of movies, then I don't find them to be overpriced. The time and care they put into each disc is unmatched. Getting Cronenberg's Stereo with Scanners and Crimes of the Future with The Brood made them both day one purchases for me.

should i get Vivre Sa Vie?

Blow Out and Dazed and Confused are the only ones on my list this year. I've stocked up pretty well in previous years, and recently ordered Strangelove and Carnival of Souls through Criterion.com (birthday giftcards!). So I'll probably get BO and DaC, and pick up one or two blind buys. I'm thinking maybe Stagecoach? I wish Young Mr Lincoln was out on blu instead of just DVD.

nah
it sucks

get Stagecoach and My Darling Clementine

>being this much of a sucker that you buy movies when you could have them for FREE

First year participating and I just started my collection with Dr. Strangelove
looking for:
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas (Seen Before)
Seven Samurai
Inside Llewyn Davis (Seen Before)
Hunger (Seen before)
On The Waterfront
Undeiced Wes Anderson movie (Seen about half)
Breathless
Mulholland Dr. or Eraserhead (Seen both)
Undecided Terrance Malick movie
Bicycle Thevies
Paris, Texas
A Man Escaped
Undeiced Bergman Movie
12 Angry Men (seen before)
Definitly narrowing it down tho to only like five maybe six recs are welcome

Thank you! If i like Ford, would I be likely to enjoy Hawks' Red River? I'm very new to Westerns.

Could someone give me an Essential Criterioncore? I don't know what to buy.

The Graduate and Days of Heaven

Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are the Anderson films I return to the most often. Moonrise Kingdom is getting up there though.

I never know if I should tell people to start on Bergman with Wild Strawberries or The Seventh Seal. If you are only planning to get one, I'd say TSS might be the one to go with. (Some people might lead you toward Persona, but I don't know if that's a good starter. Winter Light is my personal fave, but it's DVD only so far.)

What are some films you like? Older? Newer? Any particular genres or filmmakers you're interested in?

Those are great choices for someone getting into the label. If you're looking for an accessible Bergman, definitely go with The Seventh Seal. For Malick, go Badlands. If you're looking for stuff a bit deeper, go with Cries & Whispers and Days of Heaven.

Nothing in particular. The only ones I own so far are Kwaidan and the Samurai Trilogy.

Pretty much everyone starts off with Seven Samurai. Looking to buy that film was actually how I was made aware of Criterion.

pre order touch of zen or buy tokyo story?

Touch of Zen

Yeah, I was thinking of getting that and Ugetsu because I like pretty much anything samurai, but I also wanted to pick up some non-Japanese stuff.

Kurosawa

Is Tokyo story good? What're some good Ozu's?

8 1/2 and Ran

I'm such a cinephile, I buy everything released on criterion! Have you heard of Ozu, he's my favorite director!

>Why yes m'lady I do spend my money buying blu rays of dead directors at half price. I guess you could say I'm a modern day Medici. Supporting my local film society? No, no, I support film by buying the 142,082 copy of Seven Samurai at half price.

i got kagemusha instead

I always have to suggest Mullholland Dr. and Eraserhead, Fear and Loathing is great. Breathless is great too.

I don't even have a fucking blu-ray player.

I'd get Picnic at Hanging Rock, but it's about as VHS comfycore this side of Evil Dead as they come and not worth it to me on that basis.
