Monty Cristo Recommends What to Grab During B&N's 50% Off CRITERION COLLECTION Sale!
Monty Cristo here again.
Barnes & Noble does an annual 50% Off Criterion Collection Sale every summer, and I bring good news: IT HAS BEGUN. These discs never come any cheaper than this.
Click here to shop so that a portion of the sale goes to supporting my ongoing contributions of this sort. That link corrals specifically the Blu-rays, but counts for whatever you end up picking out.
If you're looking for a few must-gets, I've included a pile of recommendations below, but honestly...it's quite difficult to go wrong. If there are specific titles you want to know more about (listed here or not), hit me up in the Talkbacks and I'll gladly dump my brain for you.
All of the below are Blu-rays with a couple of specific exceptions at the end.
Boxed Sets
Even if they didn't actually invent the boxed set, Criterion may as well be credited for having done so, since they've perfected it.
David Lean Directs Noel Coward ($50 instead of $100)
In Which We Serve, This Happy Breed, Blithe Spirit, Brief Encounter
David Lean is most-often remembered for his massive color epics (Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago) or his Charles Dickens adaptations, but his first four films were astoundingly good for someone new to the job of directing (having previously been a first class editor and "fixer"). In Which We Serve surprised me the most, as I've found many British WWII propaganda films don't rise above their nationalistic purpose, but this one sure as hell does. The other behemoth name on here is that of writer Nöel Coward, who had much of his greatest success in film with Lean steering his ship. The included booklet is one of the best Criterion has done yet, and the extras are all wonderful.
Three Colors: Blue White Red ($40 instead of $80)
As much of a copout as it seems, I can't think of anything to write. These are all masterpieces. Buy them, convince me I'm wrong, and I'll give you a hearty handshake in congratulations (you will have done the impossible). If you enjoy this, grab Double Life Of Veronique from the same director.
Samurai Trilogy ($35 instead of $70)
Just recently released on remastered Blu-ray, these three samurai movies starring Toshiro Mifune were, respectively, the 14th, 15th, and 16th movies they released, and for good reason, the first samurai movies Criterion put out after Seven Samurai (#2). A great revisit or complete introduction into the world of samurai film, whether you've never seen one, or never seen one by under-appreciated master director Hiroshi Inagaki. If you know samurai movies but have never seen one in Academy ratio (1.33:1) instead of widescreen, this trilogy will throw you for a loop in the best way.
How to Spend Without Blinking
Many reading AICN are the hardest of hardcore movie geeks, but I'm sure there are burgeoning cinephiles abound too. For beginning Criterion collectors and aspiring movie junkies, I find that it helps to jump in with more than one title so that you can see how their uniform delivery of booklet/extras/beautiful picture really work. Consider these hesitation-free guides to variety pack paths into the Criterion world.
How to Spend $50 Without Blinking
Seven Samurai
Night of the Hunter
Loads of people (myself included) recommend Seven Samurai as a classic you've gotta see immediately if you haven't seen it yet. Kurosawa's samurai epic spans three hours and two Blu-rays including extras. It's a full weekend afternoon investment to plow through. With the release of Night of the Hunter, it is what I consider an equal must-see with a radically different tone and subject. It's the Great Among Greats that does not get the recognition it deserves.
How to Spend $100 Without Blinking (Version A)
Godzilla
Paths of Glory
Stagecoach
Days of Heaven
Blow Out
This cross-section gives you the classic nuclear age MAN IN SUIT fable (Godzilla), the Kubrick war meditation classic (Paths), the western that even western-haters enjoy and that made John Wayne a star (Stagecoach), probably the definitive home video transfer of a truly great film (Days), and proof that cinematic perfection can indeed come from the 1980's (Blow Out).
How to Spend $100 Without Blinking (Version B)
Rushmore
Dazed and Confused
Sweet Smell of Success
Beauty and the Beast
House
I'm pushing things with the familiarity of such relatively recent movies as Rushmore and Dazed, but I'm counterbalancing them with two black and white movies (one in French) and rounding things out with the catshit insanity that is House, which is enduring as one of the best "wait until you see this crazy-ass movie" to show unsuspecting friends.
Double Features
These pairings are chosen predominantly because they share the same director and play with similar enough themes that they compliment one another without feeling redundant. I'll save myself the trouble of typing this for many of the following titles: many of these are among the greatest films ever made.
Gray on Blu
Steven Soderbergh's Gray's Anatomy (1997) and And Everything Is Going Fine (2010)
Steven Soderbergh's first and final explorations into the work of Spalding Gray form a hell of a double feature: insightful, penetrating, and utterly heartbreaking...while at once uplifting and beautiful. For some, Gray is very much an acquired taste. His first-person monologues ("monologs" as he always called them) caught on because as self-centered as they may have been, they were equally universally applicable. Rather than stand-up comedy, Spalding Gray performed sit-down theater that had the potential to mesmerise with mere words. In the first film, Soderbergh iterates Gray's performance by adding additional elements (silhouette projections, cutaways), and in the latter, Soderbergh reconstituted footage spanning the man's entire life in an overwhelming, personal eulogy in honor of his friend.
Three Tramps
Charles Chaplin's The Gold Rush (1925 & 1942), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940)
Ok, I cheated on the Double Feature scheme, but this trio of titles features all the Chaplin movies currently in the Collection. If you've never seen them, the supplemental features along with the movies themselves will easily fill a lost weekend. The most recent of them, Gold Rush, features a reconstructed and restored version of the original 1925 release version, thought to be definitively lost for decades. Yes, even Charles Chaplin "pulled a George Lucas", re-cutting his blockbuster hit and discarding the "imperfect" version. The contrast level and visible grain look amazing on all three, but the level of clarity in the picture is the real standout, whether you're seeing them for the first time or revisiting them for the 100th.
Trust Me on These
We've gotten to a point where speculation as to which DVD edition will get a Blu-ray upgrade has a monthly betting pool attached to it for most collectors. As a result, many shie away from buying DVDs. There are two big DVD sets in particular that I think are well worth it and probably pretty safe from Blu-ray upgrade (for reasons I'll get into).
The Golden Age Of Television ($25 instead of $50)
I reviewed this collection of classic teleplay kinescope recordings when it was released back in December 2009, and not only does it include the original version of No Time for Sergeants, starring the recently-deceased Andy Griffith, but loads of other gems, like Rod Steiger playing the lead role in Marty. The performances in these recordings is absolutely unreal if you've never seen them. Paul Newman, Julie Harris, Clu Gulager, Mickey Rooney, and loads of others absolutely knock it out of the park. Paddy Chayefsky scripts and Rod Serling direction abound in these films. I don't see what the upgrade to HD would do for these, so I'd call them a safe DVD purchase.
The Human Condition ($40 instead of $80)
I think I wrote nearly a dozen articles about this set, starting with a look at the gorgeous packaging and care put into it:
"Adapted from an epic 6-volume novel over 3 films, Masaki Kobayashi's The Human Condition is considered one of the great achievements in Japanese film history."
The three two-part films total something approaching ten hours, and they're tremendous to watch. They tell the story of World War II from a perspective the westerners like myself have rarely seen. Here's my full review from almost three years ago. Here's the photo progression I posted earlier that day. A few days later, I compared the protagonist's journey to Lawrence of Arabia. A month later, I still couldn't shake it.
The above link should take you to most if not all the Eclipse sets that B&N lists.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the stellar no-frills DVDs that Criterion releases in its Eclipse line, which collects films on a theme or by a director in slimpacks, with more focus on bang-for-buck than going ultra-deluxe. One set has George Bernard Shaw adaptations, while another focuses on Nagisa Oshima's racy 60's movies, and yet two others collect loads of Yasujiro Ozu work from both early and late in his career.
A great example of the eclectic mix of entries in Eclipse is the recent Up All Night with Robert Downey Sr. (all of $20) set that includes, among other great work, Putney Swope:
This interview isn't on the disc, I should add, it's exclusive to their YouTube channel.
There are loads of other iterations of buying lists and ways to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Pair Kurosawa's wonderful but very different High and Low with Kagemusha. Mix it up and throw in Ozu's Late Spring (a great film you likely have never heard of). Check out the original Hara Kiri. Now I read like someone who only likes Japanese cinema. Human Condition got me on a roll there.
Go nuts on Godard and Bergman, or grab Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture because you're obsessed with Girls on HBO.
Get what you can afford and want to watch over the next weeks and months.
I could keep writing this piece for hundreds more words. Like I said much further up, hit me up in the Talkbacks with any questions. There are few things I love in the cinematic world more than the Criterion Collection, and I greatly enjoy helping other people get hooked.

...I find it hard to justify spending money on physical Criterion releases, but $20 for the Godzilla BR is mighty tempting...
-
That's just about regular price everywhere else.
-
Fair enough, you're right. That was lazy on my part. Changed to "war meditation".
-
It's generally at least $10 less than regular price otherwise. What would usually be $30 is $20, etc

Salo? Never saw it, not sure if I want to, always wondered why Criterion decided to add it to their collection.

Can anyone tell me why this torture porn classic is worth watching?

It's about $5 cheaper than Amazon currently has them.
by SergeantStedenko
Criterions generally do not seriously drop in price like most other DVDs/Blus.
-
... since Amazon sells many of those discs within a 5 dollar range of Barnes & Nobles' SALE price.
-

Bugger all unless I buy a region free Blu Ray Player, Criterion won`t do anything but region 1. Swines.
by higgledyhiggles
There`s so many movies not getting a release even though they`ve already been released in the states. Then they moan about piracy. Look, here`s my money, but I can`t afford another player when mine works fine.
-
July 10, 2012, 11:37 a.m. CST
If you like 70s Surrealism like Jodorowsky's work, I highly recommend Sweet Movie by Dusan Makavejev
by SergeantStedenko
Weird stuff, but well done and thought provoking.
-
Ive got the most essential of the essential beginnings of a movie collection (according to my taste, for sure) just barely reaching the vicinity of 160 titles or so, most in blu. Never dipped before in the criterion pond since the prices are a bit steep for titles that I can find cheaper elsewhere (not all, for sure- maybe not even most- but some)so would you give me a brief " ... for Dummies", first-hand intro? Something more personal that I could find out in Wikipedia on why I should really consider giving these a try? Im sold on the Godzilla already,and almost on De Palma's Blow Out but I´d really appreciate the extra nudging
-
July 10, 2012, 11:38 a.m. CST
Nows the time to pick up Videodrome in Blu! Yes!
by openthepodbaydoorshal
-
Albert Finney is amazing. Best portrayal of an alcoholic ever.
-
I really hate that Naked Lunch hasn't gotten the blu ray treatment yet
-
Gonna pick up Samurai Trilogy and Gold Rush for sure. That's just money spent. After that follows a long list of maybes. Gah. The David Lean box sounds intriguing too, but it's too hefty for a blind buy.
-
It will happen.
-
Travolta likes butt play.
-
Kind of inexplicable, actually. The movie made less than $400,000 at the B.O. And as far as I can tell it is not critically regarded. Way too soon to tell if it'll become a Cult Classic. I don't get it. There are better Mumblecore movies a dime a dozen that Criterion could've chosen instead.
-
IF I had a couple hundred bucks to spend on this sale (and I don't, since I'm broke), here's how it would go down: - Black Narcissus - Night Train to Munich - Sansho the Bailiff - Army of Shadows - The Thin Red Line - Nikkatsu Noir boxset (one the best things Criterion has released!) - Aki Kaurismaki’s Leningrad Cowboys (The first LC movies is easily one of my favorites to show to friends, since almost no one has seen it) and his Proletariat Trilogy - Battle of Algiers - House (although since I saw this most recently on the big screen from a 35mm print, I'm not sure if I could go back to seeing it on the small screen) and I'd round it out with Rossellini's War Trilogy I actually hate when this sale rolls around because I can rarely afford anything and instead just add a bunch of stuff to my cart and stare at the checkout page longingly
-
should probably be SEVEN SAMURAI.
-
It's really more about their licensing deals with the content providers. They used to have Region 0 DVDs back in the day. Alas, no longer.
-
My first Criterion was Jean Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge. Remains one of my favorite movies to this day. That disc is damn precious to me. But yeah, Seven Samurai makes sense as The One to own. Argh, forgot that I should also add Elevator to the Gallows to my list above. Absolutely love that movie. I could watch Jeanne Moreau wandering around a gorgeously shot Paris to an improvised Miles Davis score any day of the week
-
Goddamn, that's tempting...
-
Im not saying these aren't good prices. My point was that B&N's regular prices are so high, their 50% off is equal to anybody else's 33% off.
-
What Criterion does is focus on films they consider to be important, whether newer or older. Not all of them will be to everyone's taste. Some, like GODZILLA, are much easier, total no-brainers. They curate the movies they license from different studios to include a cross-section of not only the best-known movies by the greatest best-known master directors, but the truly unique and visionary that may have gotten lost in the shuffle of time. For example, Criterion got introduced me to and got me hooked on Yasujiro Ozu, a Japanese director considered by many to be the greatest in their history, greater than Kurosawa. Cinema appreciation doesn't have to be dweeby or overtly academic. They make the home video experience streamlined and clean, with more finely-curated extra features than just about anything you find anywhere else, so that you never feel like the extras are filler, as they so often are on most major studio releases these days. In short: you'd be out of your mind to not grab BLOW OUT. It includes one of the best interviews with De Palma I've ever seen, no joke.
-
I'll Paypal you $20 if you feel disappointed in the David Lean box, on my honor. I had not seen the first two movies before, and even though Blithe Spirit isn't a regular rematch, Brief Encounter, Happy Breed, and IWWS are all fantastic.
-
The Criterion touch doesn't necessarily mean something is a massive box office hit or that the director is an instant legend, they're about interesting emerging voices too. I think Dunham qualifies pretty handily in that respect.
-
The disc is outstanding. One of the best recent pickups they've done to an under-served classic.
-
Is the best looking B&W transfer I've ever seen. It's jaw dropping. Seriously pick this up if you are even considering it. The Double Life of Veronique is another favorite of mine, just really lush visuals with a wonderful soundtrack, perfect for Blu. Better than any one film in the Three Colors, which is a boxset I still adore. This sale, my inner Bergman completist will be picking up Summer with Monika and Summer Interlude, two films I have surprisingly not seen. Also on my radar is Belle de jour, The Battle of Algiers, and Sweet Smell of Success.
-
Have you seen the Blu transfer on Bergman's SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT? Absolutely on-par with SEVENTH SEAL. Glorious.
-
I was amazed when I went in with my $10 Reward Zone GC how wide the variety of Criterion Blu's is at Best Buy. I picked up Last Temptation Of Christ fo $19.99 instead of $29.99. Price point is right in line with Criterion's website. I was shocked.
-
July 10, 2012, 1 p.m. CST
Even more shocking is the standard DVD Criterion release of Armageddon.
by openthepodbaydoorshal
Unless it's part of their "Films That Helped Destroy American Cinema" series. But I'm picking up Days Of Heaven at the very least. One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.

montycristo: It`s no less painful and is more than just Criterion. There`s a host of movies available region 1 but not 2 from big studios too. It`s infuriating.

-
July 10, 2012, 2:04 p.m. CST
Similar problem with Foreign stuff. Where`s my Mr Vampire Blu Ray Darn it.
by higgledyhiggles
I guess there`s just no money to be made with this stuff we grew up with. Trouble is I don`t want modern stuff most of the time, it`s mostly a one watch situation eg Captain America was quite fun but I don`t really need to see it more than once or twice but Yojimbo, I can watch that on rotation.
-
I can't argue with that, I guess. For the record, I enjoyed Tiny Furniture for what it was. I had wished that it was a little more humorous, but that is mainly because it was being lauded as a female Woody Allen film. And I really don't see it as ever becoming a beloved classic I or anyone else would ever wish to return to again and again.
-
Days of Heaven. God, I hated that movie.
-
$35 at Amazon. $25 at B&N.

montycristo, do you have the America Lost and Found Collection? If so would you recommend?
by SergeantStedenko
Had they included The Trip as one of Nicholson's films this set would be a no-brainer for me. The Trip with Head and Easy Rider would be a "total trip, man."
-
It's outstanding. Just as highly recommended as the Lean box.
-
12 Angry Men 39 Steps Four Feathers For All Mankind the Lady Vanishes Leon Morin, Priest Paris, TX Samurai Trilogy Shallow Grave My wife is gonna be bummed.
-
...I echo either Seven Samurai or Blow Out. Another I'd recommend is Kiss Me Deadly, a great film noir that Tarantino paid homage to in Pulp Fiction.
-
I think it may have been back when Disney had just gotten into the dvd market after the Circuit City divix debacle, so it was probably licensed pre-Disney putting out dvds. Criterion probably saw a big title with dollar signs, Bay probably wanted the legitimacy, and the rest is history. It's preaty rare nowadays for Criterion to put out a current film on dvd/blu ray, unless it's an art (think Che) or foreign film (Gommorah). I mean, I don't see Transformers Criterion or Pearl Harbor Criterion.
-
July 10, 2012, 3:59 p.m. CST
I'm still hoping they can get their hands on Michael Mann's Theif
by Samuel Fulmer
Talk about a movie that could use an upgrade, the current dvd put out in 1998 is just a transfer from a special edition laserdisc MGM put out in 1995.
-
There goes $100. Damn you Criterion, why you gotta be so good? That was a painful choice to make. Finally ended on Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Rushmore, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If I weren't saving for a vacation next month, this could have gotten messy
-
Time to find a way to get away. My local B&N has a pretty wide selection of Criterion Blus. I love this and the penny canvas sale at Aaron Brothers. And I hate it when I miss either.
-
Here are my recommendations......and some secondary ones by the same director if you liked the first: "Seven Samurai" (without a doubt).........and "Ikiru" "Rushmore"..............and "The Royal Tenenbaums" "Videodrome".............and "Naked Lunch" And some just by themselves: "Cronos"........It's Guillermo del Toro's first feature film! C'mon, people! "Solaris".........It's the complete polar opposite of "Armageddon"! "Kwaidan"........Creepy Japanese ghost stories (from before anyone ever heard of Ju-on or Ringu)
-
Use Y4A7P7U and get another 15 percent off one item. Just thought I'd share. Not trolling, this isn't spam!
-
Overall ends up being a great deal, paid $35 for Samurai Trilogy, $24 for Seven Samurai and got Hunger(regular $19.99) for free.
-
i just ordered the other day off Amazon (no clue if it was the Criterion or not. I got because a friend from Jersey said he was laughing hysterically throughout and it's been years since i saw). Not to be confused with the Bill Murry travesty. Also still don't have a blu-ray player (i know, right?) but last time i went to B&N I got a bunch of Criterion dvds (Kiss Me Deadly, Diabolique, Repulsion, Wings of Desire, Made in USA, In the Realm of the senses and Seventh Seal). Oh and snagged a copy of Frazetta: Painting with Fire which wasn't a Criterion. Probably when Prometheus and The Avengers is released and i see that the extra footage is only on blu-rays, that's when i'll break down and get a BR player. (the blu Green Lantern with extra footage was totally not enough of an inducement!)
-
Another odd choice. May not be as bad as ARMAGEDDON, but still bad.
-
...as soon as I can spare some dime Im ordering Blow Out and Godzilla. For starters. Thing is, in my neck of the woods there´s no B&N anywhere so I gotta go place an order at my local record and movie store. Cool thing, though, is that every two months or so (this weekend is coming again, by the way), all Blockbusters in town offer a 50% off in all 3-or-more-movies purchases. I was just doing the math and, God willing, am getting the seven original Nightmare on Elm St. flicks, in Blu, plus an extra disc with the Heather Langenkamp (sorry if I misspelled) doc and then some others for about 2.50 each! Finally, are you fuckin serious? Armaggedon Criterion? With scholarly treatises on the sensibilities of Michael Bay? Gotta have it.
-
first, man you really dont know what youre missing without a blu player! For real, get yourself one as soon as you can! secondly, sith, I truly love Chasing Amy. If nothing else in Kevin Smith´s creative output, this one should really be appreciated. Then again, that´s just like, my opinion man.
-
I ordered 32 titles last night in two separate orders while the Buy 2, Get 1 Free was still ongoing. Here's my list of Criterion Blu-rays that I own so far and I've been seriously collecting since November's sale. http://www.dvdaf.com/search.html?pub=Criterion+Collection&where=quick-blu-ltd&init_form=str0_pub_Criterion+Collection&pg=3

Eloy is right about blu ray, any true cinephile would herald this device as the second coming. At first thought, you would think that classic cinema would have the least to gain from the latest tech, but it's actually the opposite. Whereas the latest films show very little difference between DVD and blu ray, the classic films you know and love look amazingly crisp on blu. Just keep in mind that the image quality of the film stock was much better than the projection/viewing technology of the time. With digital remastering and blu ray, the blurry films of old look almost exactly as the filmmaker saw them the day they were filmed. In fact, I find myself eager for blu ray releases of older films because of the vast difference in image quality. Same goes for classic animation. No more grainy re-release of a second-hand transfer. I can watch Citizen Kane or the Godfather and it looks like I'm right there with Wells or Cahn. You are truly missing out (assuming, of course, that you have an HD tv, lol).

I bought The Gold Rush and Modern Times for 50% off at B&N yesterday.
by Jason
I already own The Great Dictator, so it was a no-brainer to take advantage of the first day of the B&N sale by purchasing The Gold Rush and Modern Times. This upcoming weekend will certainly be a "lost weekend" filled with Charlie Chaplain stuff.
-
Le Samouraï Army of Shadows Le Cercle Rouge These three Jean-Pierre Melville films are all in my All-Time Top Ten Movie List. These movies are perfection, pure and simple. As much as I love my Akira Kurosawa Criterions, my Louis Malle Criterions, my Jean-Luc Godard Criterions, and such, I have to go with Jean-Pierre Melville for the win.
-
My God, what an incredible flick. The best Hitchcock film that Hitchcock never directed.
-
This is absolutely the best time to check out a director or a scene you are curious about but have yet to take the plunge. I would definitely recommend getting the Science is Fiction set by Jean Painleve - beautiful black and white, surreal, sometimes funny, nature films. Also, if you're into abstract art, it might be a good time to purchase the Brakhage sets. World on a Wire is a terrific Fassbinder film that's sort of a precurser to the Matrix - definitely worth a look. I'd also recommend the Dusan Makavejev set. I'm not a huge Kurasawa fan, but it looks like they have his giant 25 film set for half off, which seems like a pretty good deal. Right now I'm being horribly tempted by the Pearls of the Czech New Wave, Nikkatsu Noir, Oshima's Outlaw 60s, and Robert Downey Sr. sets. I just have to choose...
-
Have to second the Jean-Pierre Melville recommendations. Not sure I'd want to watch the Vanishing again, but it's a perfect gut punch of a movie.
-
Ok, you've sold me on watching this, Monty Cristo! I think my local video store (which is somehow awesome, and still in business) may have it, so I may run down and pick up part one.
-
I don't care if it is only about $5 off amazon, these NEVER drop in price so any reduction is a good deal.
-
I searched the article and the talkback for the word "end" and found no indication of when this sale ends. The site didn't help either.
-
They don't publicly state one, but they typically go two weeks, sometimes a little longer.
-
Senior Cristo, Bless you sir for the heads up on this sale. I've had some birthday money sitting around for months now with nothing that really excited me to spend it on. Yesterday, after reading your insightful and informative column, I easily made use of that last $100 by purchasing no less than 5 titles (The Sweet Smell of Success, Days of Heaven, The Killing, The Red Shoes, and Night of the Hunter) that I have been dying to have in my bluray collection! What tickles and saddens me is the fact that not only has Barnes and Noble NOT ADVERTISED THIS AT ALL, the clerk at my local store had no idea that the sale was even going on. He actually challenged the existence of the sale until he checked me out. Poor soul, out of the corporate loop... bit by the hand that feeds him... In all sincerity, thank you. I may well have blown that money on something forgettable; instead, my collection stand a little taller and so do I. Forever in your Debt, Demarest
-
I admire your confidence and putting your money where your moth is. Looks like I may have to pick up the David Lean set (not for the $20 offer, but in response to your fierce loyalty to the films).
-
I asked an employee while I was there, they said it goes until the 30th.
