    I finally jumped ship and purchased my first ever Criterion releases a few days ago. They were, La Bamba and the really excellent silent movie called Safety Last! They had plenty of special features on them and the picture and sound quality was excellent! 👌

      Good for you! I started buying Criterions just 3 years ago and now have close to 40. Would have a lot more but budget has a say, in addition to also purchasing non Criterion titles. I think my very first Criterion purchase was The Great Beauty that I had seen on Criterion Channel, and to this day it is in my top 3 all time Criterion favorites.

    OMG! My local B&N! I am really happy that this particular store has a huge Criterion selection. I live in Brooklyn and the two local B&N stores (in walking distance) do not carry physical media from any boutique label. The only other B&N stores in Manhattan that carry Criterion selections are one on Fifth Ave (in midtown) and one on the upper west side. I try to avoid going to the Fifth Ave store because of the heavy tourist traffic around there. But if I order it for pick up, I can get in and out quickly. I haven't been to the UWS store (on Broadway somewhere in the 80's, I think), at all. Luckilly all of these B&N locations are near subway lines so I don't have to walk too far. Although I like the Union Square store, as you can see that entire wall is ALL of the Criterion selection. I've watched UA-cam clips of people shopping in B&N in other parts of the country (a lot in the Midwest) where the selections are sometimes double the NYC stores. This November I picked up about 25 titles to add to my library! I can't wait until July for the next sale! Great video!

    I was at the 5th Ave B&N last Saturday. Bought Le Samourai 4K, Chop Shop Blu-Ray, Fantastic Mr. Fox Blu-Ray and Matewan Blu-Ray. Haven’t been to Union Square in years, didn’t realize their Criterion section was much larger.

    This morning I ordered my last Criterion for November sale, Blast of Silence. Have been eyeing if for longest time, excited, such an interesting back story on how the movie was originally produced, i.e. producer/director deciding to cast himself in main role after Peter Faulk fell through, filming guerilla style on crowded city streets, etc. Would love for you to do a review at some point, thanks Elliot, enjoyed this video.

    I haven't been able to control myself with this sale. I've purchased 50 titles so far. My wallet hates me. I can vouch for Demon Pond. Fantastic film. Real Life is also great. Albert Brooks wise though, Mother is still my favorite. That movie is hilarious.
