Considering purchasing Videodrome and Blow Out. Among my favourite "modern" masterpieces.

This will be my first ever criterion purchases since they typically are too expensive. Did also consider getting Charlie Chaplins "Modern Times" also.

I would get The Killing as it is Kubrick at his best imo and Blow Out is also a good film

It seems B&N are doing this eevry 6 months so be frugal I know ive ordered at least 2 everytime they have one of these sales

Anyone previously ordered from Barnes and Noble?

I'd like to complete my first purchase but for some reason they wan't a 07 digit postcode when we obviously use 4 digits.

Did you guys dismiss the international postcode chart and simply put your suburb in 4 digit form?

I've ordered from them before but it was at least 3 years ago that I set up the account so I can't remember how I entered it.

I got Blow Out during the last sale and really liked it definetly a keeper.

OK, I give up.

I'll be getting around 16-17 discs this time around - pretty much just what has been released the last 3-4 months and a few extras. Still haven't watched all I bought from the last sale.
These sales are definitely the way to collect Criterions though. Unless it is something I'm dying for, like the recent Complete Jean Vigo or The Killing, I don't bother paying regular Amazon prices.

Between Criterion, BFI, Eureka and Kino I don't often buy blu-rays from any other studios anymore!

Just a note the Barnes and Noble 50% off criterion sale has started(bout an hour ago) and at the moment it is also allowing the b2g1f sale(ending today) this means if you pick the right disks you could end up with 3 criterions for about $16.80 each shipped  
Note the B2G1F is going to end very very shortly

The crossover with the b2g1f sale has now ended, so that means its just a straight up 50% off plus any coupons you may find floating around the net. Glad I got in quick ended up with 6 disks

Watched Criterion's Days Of Heaven yesterday. Excellent PQ (apart from grainy night scenes) and AQ. A deliberately slow and simple film that doesn't let you go.
