Was going through the Criterion list today, adding movies to my wishlist so I can go through and pick up some titles. Bound is excellent. I have a current blu ray but may still pick up the 4k this next month. Coen Brothers are absolutely awesome. I always point to Miller's Crossing as one of the best and Blood Simple as the most surprisingly scary. And for just pure fun, there's always O Brother Where Art Thou.
Great selections. I have qyuite a few of those in my collection and some you mentioned I still need to grab (Dont Look Now, Night of the Living Dead, and Shaft). And I think Miller's Crossing is top 5, possibly top 3 all time great Coen Bros films.
@994pt4 I know there's pros and cons in each country. The yearly Criterion sales hit pretty hard. Also, you guys have Kino and Shout/ Scream Factory. I bought Cry Baby with Blue Velvet. the total was £67! That's a tough pill to swallow for just two standard editions.
My sale pickups include: Trainspotting Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down Bound Blood Simple Secret Sunshine Still want: Come and See Miller’s Crossing Perfect Days Harakiri Eraserhead
I’m taking it lite with Criterion sale. Probably only grabbing three because this July is stacked with other releases. I’m definitely in for Bound 4K, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 4K and definitely Risky Business 4K because that’s one I’ve never seen. Uncut Gems is a definite must because I saw it in the Theaters and I was emotionally drained by the end due to what happens to Sandler characters. Definitely one of the most anxiety ridden movies I’ve seen on the big screen
Ken, you need to watch Trainspotting. I remember you showing it off in a video & saying you've never seen it. It’s better than any movie you listed. I can bet that it will be in your top 5 Criterion movies.
Some great recommendations and much enjoyed, thanks Ken. I'm probably an outlier, but I will not consider Peeping Tom. I saw it streamed a few weeks ago and I so badly wanted to like it because I was hyped to buy the 4k, so glad I screened it first. As you say, Don't Look Now definitely has an unexpected ending, say whaaaat! Riding on that ending may I suggest Criterion release of The Vanishing; imo it has maybe the biggest and most unexpected ending twists in movie history....I mean wow. I'll be picking up during sale Bound, Godland, The Devil's Advocate, Anatomy of a Fall.
DAYS OF HEAVEN BOUND LONE STAR TRAINSPOTTING THE TRIAL I wanted to get ONE FALSE MOVE and DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS as well but I had to cut the list to the bone this year.
Not sure how this is a sale. I price-checked the 50% off on many of the 4K movies and found them to be the same price as non-sales and I even just found and picked up Princes Bride for even cheaper from WalMart. B&N tax = +50%.
@@Theomite ya i just noticed that..of course not long after i got the blu ray from them...but that being said i don't know how it could look any better. That movie is pretty funky to begin with as far as picture goes..ill keep my blu ray ;-)
I can’t wait to buy Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom and The Three Colors Trilogy. I already got ahead of myself on buying Perfect Days, Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid and Black God White Devil on the Criterion website.
I see to die for. very good movie. but not going to pick it up. I think im going to pick either girl fight,pat garret and billy the kid, la bamba,wall E, raging bull because I only seen it once. and hopefully they have Brazil.
I treat criterion the same way I treat all labels...some months have some announcements that interest me, some don't. They have their hits and they have their misses just like any other label imo
I’ve also noticed, Amazon will run a sale on CC disc as well during the Barns & Noble sales. Not all of them but a good amount. If Amazon does run a sale on the CC disc during the month of July, I’d buy them for Amazon
you forgot to mention that amazon will price match even the july pre orders just have to be patient and wait for release date save yourself a trip to barnes and noble
@@midlevelmedia I own 326 titles on 4K U.H.D., so picking a favorite would be incredibly difficult...but let's stick with Martin Scorsese: My favorite 4K disc will be Bringing Out the Dead! Seriously, I've been waiting for THAT movie since I bought my first Blu-ray player back in 2007! I thought that Criterion or Kino Lorber or even Arrow or Shout! Factory would release Bringing Out the Dead. Paramount came to the rescue!
My channel #letstalkcriterion is dedicated to Criterion my collection has now reached 800+ but the end is far off still. Recommend Minding the Gap, Irma Vep, Brazil, Hollywood Shuffle, Realm of the Senses, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Pasolini 101, Short cuts, After Life, there are some OOP titles but some get 4k upgrades and come back that way. Bound is well worth a pick-up.
From watching this video you'd think that Criterion is a boutique label that carries only American movies and none of those pesky foreign movies where you have to read subtitles.
@@midlevelmedia Sweden, Iran, Japan South Korea, Mexico, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Guatemala, Argentina, Australia, India, Romania, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Cuba and Russia?
You need to watch more Criterion. That's kind of their whole philosophy. Ken here just isn't big on their international catalog, but it's extensive. (Seriously, Ken, try to vary up your recommendations when it comes to a label like Criterion. These were almost 100% US films, save for Don't Look Now.)
I'm picking up the 4ks of Blue Velvet, Bound, Days of Heaven and Blood Simple for sure.
Goddamn you got good taste.
Great tips, Ken!
Good recommendations! I recently watched the 4Ks of To Die For and Peeping Tom and both are very solid films and look great, especially PT.

O brother is my literal favorite movie
Great recommendations! Deep Cover is so good. All 5 you’re looking to pick up are on my list as well.
Thanks Ken! This got my juices flowing for this sale!
Definitely grabbing The Fisher King and Bound.
SICK!!!
GOING CRAY, CRAY ON THIS SALE!!!

The Red Shoes and Time Bandits were two of my previous favorites. Gonna shoot for Bound and Malcom X on this sale.
Ken u should check out the film Seconds there’s a Criterion blu ray of it. It’s a great very Twilight Zone esque film from 1966.
Hot dog. This is inside information. This Friday! Thanks for the heads up.
Collect the Barnes and noble stamps.
most wholesome comment i read today
Your Deep Cover review was how I discovered your channel. Laurence Fishburne was coolest he’s ever been in that movie.
Awesome! I love that movie!
I stopped by our new Barnes and Noble and got Bound 4k, Blue Velvet 4k, and Blood Simple 4k for $75.❤
pat garret and billy the kid is an absolute day one purchase for me i'm so excited for it
Kino lorber having 10 year anniversary sale going on now I just ordered some 50% off
Dang, I'm gonna have to head over there now!
SO MUCH TO BUY! 😝🤘
I know how you feel it was announced the other day on shelf space with kino lorber
WHAT?!!
Bound is fun!
Well...half of it is. The other half is nerve-wracking.
Ugh! A week ago I ordered Raging Bull and Blue Velvet. 😢
It’s crap we don’t get any Criterion sales in the UK. I just paid £39 to import Blue Velvet 4K, and the corners got dented. What a joke.
But you guys get Eureka, Second Sight, Radiance, etc.
@@KirkRedgate was that wowhd they have been putting in a thick cardboard protector on digipack releases more recently.

14:38 excellent 4k 👍👍... Caca case tho
Dont know why I've never thought to get Night of the Living Dead as many times that I've seen it, will pick this up as well as La Bamba.

THE TRIAL
I wanted to get ONE FALSE MOVE and DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS as well but I had to cut the list to the bone this year.
I need the Michael Haneke Trilogy and Time Bandits
I own the Michael Haneke Trilogy. It's a fantastic package. I love 71 Fragments.
After Hours. Dogfight. Fantastic Planet. My Beautiful Launderette. Weekend.
Fuck I wanted to get DOGFIGHT but I don't even have GIRLFRIENDS yet.
I want to pick up the first Godzilla and Punch Drunk Love. I want to get Seven Samurai and the Bruce Lee collection would be cool to have.
I like your recommendations! I'm picking up To Die For, Billy the Kid, and Peeping Tom.
Nice.
To Die For is great. I have never seen Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, but I usually like Sam Peckinpah's films.
Bound is a FANTASTIC movie!

A lot are being price matched because of the sale.
I love the Barnes and Noble Criterion sales. There are so many more movies in their catalog that I'm interested in compared to Kino.
fear and loathing in las vegas....blue velvet...repo man....all good ones
REPO MAN 4K won't be out til September.
@@Theomite ya i just noticed that..of course not long after i got the blu ray from them...but that being said i don't know how it could look any better. That movie is pretty funky to begin with as far as picture goes..ill keep my blu ray ;-)
@@nunyabidness7547 I'll upgrade 'cuz IDGAF. REPO MAN, baby!
Princess bride. That’s it.
I want to at least get Raging Bull. I haven't seen it since I owned the Criterion laserdisc back in the 90's.
.....and maybe Blue Velvet.
Definitely going to get Bound. And possibly Blowout.
I can’t wait to buy Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom and The Three Colors Trilogy.
I already got ahead of myself on buying Perfect Days, Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid and Black God White Devil on the Criterion website.
Salo is a piece of crap film 😂
Remember, Risky Business in 4k will be released in the month of July from Criterion.
FFFRRREEEAAKKKSSS? Any chance you think it'll be released in 4k eventually? I'm going large on my Criterion Collection!
I bought Freaks during the last sale. It's good, but not great. I wanted it because it's a controversial film.
La Haine 4K. Obviously
Close to making the cut. I’ll grab eventually
Finally upgrading to The Last Waltz 4K.
Are preorders included in the deal? The #1 film I want is Happiness which is up for preorder now.
They're not included. You'll have to wait until November.
@@AnInternetUser1 that definitely makes me sad
Yeah, I also really want to get Happiness.
I'm planning on grabbing Risky Business and Bound on 4K.
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Risky Business, The Princess Bride 🎥🎥
Thelma & Louise was one of the best 4Ks I ever watched - love those digipack releases
I see to die for. very good movie. but not going to pick it up. I think im going to pick either girl fight,pat garret and billy the kid, la bamba,wall E, raging bull because I only seen it once. and hopefully they have Brazil.
Goddammit, I really wanted to get GIRLFIGHT.
The Others 4K was sold out FOREVERRRRR
Is there a specific reason you’re not a big Criterion fan?
Yes. Because they’re all stupid art films.
@reginaldforthright805 Says the guy buying The Princess Bride.
@@reginaldforthright805 Yes, Fast Times at Ridgemont High is really considered an art film.😅

I’ll be linking all the ones the include tomorrow!

Mean Streets on 4K looks great. A lot of people complained about the colors, but don't listen to 'em.
