    Barnes & Noble Semi-Annual 50% off Criterion Sale

    I stand corrected David, I thought I saw on Amazon or another site that the disc of Holiday was going to be out in time for the sale.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Fall sale. I’ll also be collecting the Godzilla set. And the Cary Grant Katherine Hepburn film Holiday too.

    I think I’m finished, I made my 4th trip to Barnes and Noble today. Thanks again David, I was able to pick up Pans Labyrinth earlier this week. I picked up more titles then I planned, I only wanted Swing Time. But also got I Wanna Hold Your Hand and a title I had not heard of before called All...

    I don’t see Pan’s Labyrinth at my Barnes and Noble store. Looking on their on-line store, it’s not listed there either. A box set of del Toro’s 3 films is on their on-line store. I see the Criterion Pan’s Labyrinth on Amazon for $22. Might get it there instead. I didn’t pick up too many titles...

    Barnes & Noble Semi-Annual 50% off Criterion Sale

    I just picked up a Criterion title from Amazon because I didn’t want to wait for the sale in case I forgot about it. I picked up Night Train to Munich on Blu Ray, the Criterion site lists it as $39.95 but has it slashed to $31.96 and Amazon has it for $25.41. Not exactly 50% off but close...

    I picked up The Breakfast Club when I went to pick up titles during the sale. I had no idea they released this! I’d only seen it once. Ages ago. I like it and it felt like a special and unusual film.

    I’ve been using the reminders list. But the Notes app makes sense too.

    I had the day off and went to my local B&N. It was interesting as there was one guy up in the media section who happen to be going over stock and restocking the bins, some Criterion’s too. He was nice enough to help me find the Dietrich set. But when I went back to pay, he said they don’t do...

    One of the titles I was willing to pay full price for is Being There. But I waited for the sale so I could bundle a few more titles. I'll go to the brick and mortar store this weekend, but I might try the on-line way to buy. I've been looking forward to Being There. I didn't see a review of...

    Barnes & Noble Semi-Annual 50% off Criterion Sale

    A few weeks ago I went to the Barnes and Noble store and bought 3 Criterions during the start of the 50% off sale. But two titles were sold out. I didn't try to order those on-line as you guys suggested, but I did find two more when I went back to the store last weekend. But I totally forgot...

    Sure Travis, I can do that too and I have in the past. I have called by phone and ordered discs too. They're really accommodating at Barnes and Noble.

    Guys, I actually went to a Barnes and Noble store and picked up three Criterion titles. There were three more I wanted but not in the rack. I guess I'll give the online purchase a try.

    Regarding buying an outer box for the Hitchcock set, back in the good old laserdisc days, I had purchased a used copy of a disc and the outer jacket was worn, but the disc was in perfect shape. So I wrote to Criterion to ask if I could buy the outer jacket. To my pleasant surprise, they said yes. :)

    I can't imagine the Nook is doing too well for them! I was wondering about that myself. Such a heavy investment in the R&D and marketing, while Apple and Amazon and Android devices must be killing them!

    Barnes & Noble Semi-Annual 50% off Criterion Sale

    Well, this year, between the two sales, I bought 12 Criterion blu rays, plus two DVD versions because I like having both formats. And I had bought a few copies of magazines of mid century modern architecture and digital art magazines too that were both pricey. And a couple of music CDs too.It...

    Are any of you guys Barnes and Noble members? I always get asked and I always decline becoming a member. I mainly go there for the Criterion sales and a few more times during the year. Didn't seem worth the $25. But maybe I'm wrong. I do buy other discs there from time to time and books and...

    I had a 15% coupon emailed to me from Barnes and Noble and it didn't apply to the Criterions I got. But the clerk did apply it to the Mad Men Season 6 set!

    My first Criterion laserdisc was 2001: A Space Odyssey which I bought in 1988 or 89. How mainstream, yet still considered an influential film, is that? :). The extras included actual NASA footage and stuff that most would consider boring. The Great Escape was another high mass audience appealing...

    Glad to help Mike! I got Lord of the Flies at B&N over the weekend at $19. Kinda wonky how Amazon is pricing some Criterions at 50% off and others less.

    Barnes & Noble Semi-Annual 50% off Criterion Sale

    Got an email today from Amazon listing their Criterion titles including The Blob, The Man Who Knew Too Much, On the Waterfront, etc....at 50% off. Well, On The Waterfront was almost 50 off. Looks like they are trying to match Barnes and Noble. But looking at their listings, many are $24 to $28...

    Grabbed both The Man Who Knew Too Much and Things to Come in both blu ray and DVD editions. Plus The Blob blu ray, thanks Ron for mentioning it in another post. Got the Criterion DVD of The Blob several years ago.
