Figured since this is still active, I'd just change the title. Continue on as you were before.

Atta girl, Barnes & Noble. Now I can finally get Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

There is a coupon from Wheel of Fortune for 15% online orders. That did not work for me. But, instore coupon for 10% off. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/email/...?r=1&PID=35964

I'm definitely going to try that. 17.99 Criterions!

EDIT: If you wanna order online, use this link. 10% off. http://www.bn.com/library
Free shipping at 25 dollars, as usual.

I picked up Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and Paths of Glory. Anything else I should snag? I was thinking about Antichrist, but Rotten Tomatoes shows it at 44%. Any opinions on that?

NICE. Thank you, OP.

By the way, the film Pierrot le fou (comes in Blu or DVD) is now (as of a few months ago) out of print, so if you are in for a fairly hardcore collector's item, snag it. Same with The Man Who Fell to Earth, but I think that film went out of print a while ago so it might be a bit harder to find.

I'll be picking up Antichrist pretty blindly (I'm a fan of von Trier). Gonna pick up a few Wes Anderson movies that I don't already have (Darjeeling and Bottle Rocket on Blu). In the Realm of the Senses was crazy erotic and weird, and you can't go wrong with anything by Jean-Luc Godard (especially Breathless, that film was so supremely fun).

Thanks for the Library link. I ordered The Thin Red Line and Seven Samurai, final total of about $43 shipped for the blu-ray versions.

Now I just need to find a buyer for my Seven Samurai DVDs.

Antichrist is pretty over the top, but I thought it was enjoyable. I'm sure if you're deciding to watch it or not, you know it's pretty out there, and I think it's hit or miss.

As for the sale, pfft. Broke as usual, so I'll just be able to watch all the great DVDs people are going to pick up

AK100 for $199..*drool*

I want it, even though I own every Kurosawa movie included already.

Holy crap, I didn't expect this to start for another two weeks, based on what they've done in past years. Good thing that I decided to skip some other spending that I had been considering.

Also, dammit, that means it's going to just miss the release date (Nov. 23rd) on the America Lost and Found: The BBS Story set. Although maybe that's a good thing, I'm already going to be spending way too much on this sale.

If you're on the fence about it, it's on Netflix instant watch. It's a very well done movie, but it's very difficult to watch, which is where I think the negative reviews came from. I'm normally pretty immune to violence and gore in films, but this one was a little much even for me.

This seems to be the biggest 'Oh bummer!' factor about the sale this year, but yes, Antichrist, Night of the Hunter, and Modern Times will all be included in the sale. They're available now at the reduced price, actually.

Aww, Pierrot le fou isn't on the Website for blu.

It's out-of-print already, has been since March. Your best bet is to find a b&m store that still has it in stock, though chances are most of them got cleared out during the July sale.

I'm actually even more bummed that Cronos won't be out in time for this sale, but at least it's not coming out immediately after the sale is over.

Don't forget 8% cashback on Ebates.

Damn, I forgot.

EDIT: Is it impossible to get both the 8% and the 10% off from the Barnes' link?

yeah, Cronos is my big disappointment this year :(, I lOVE del Toro's stuff. well, it'll wait till the next sale

It's generally possible to score most of the Criterion blus for around $24-26 with other sales on various sites. For Cronos I might just bight the bullet and pay a little more to get it when it becomes available rather than waiting.

Thin Red Line Bluray for $17.99 before shipping and taxes.

I've never gotten Criterion Collection stuff. I'm probably going to pick up the Seven Samurai as I hear it is excellent. I'm a huge fan of the space race/moon landing stuff.
Is "For All Mankind" a good documentary?

pretty polarizing movie, but as someone who loved it, i felt it had a really hypnotic quality about it. the cinematography is amazing and the acting - wow. definitely not for the faint of heart. they throw that phrase around a lot, but it couldn't be more true for this movie.

I did a blind buy on this and was thoroughly impressed. It looks great in high def, and it's actually quite fascinating, too. Some of the footage you've seen before just on random things, but there's lot of great things you've likely never seen before, either. I would highly recommend this, and I haven't even gotten to the features yet.
