Thanks, Dave! Glad you got a chance to enjoy the sale and pick up some titles. Yes, I like to get my order in right when the sale starts as well. Looking forward to getting mine in the mail in a few days.
Great video, James and nice picks. I ended up just going with the Fellini set because I've wanted it since it was released. Hope you got everything you want and enjoy. Thanks for the video.
I jumped right on this and picked up a few more than I expected. The Bad Sleep Well (DVD only), Pale Flower, Lone Star (4K), Vengeance is Mine, The Roaring Twenties (4K), David Lean Directs Noel Coward and La Piscine. I just noticed that I forgot to include Blast of Silence so I think i will be putting my freshly earned $50 gift card to use soon. (I added Blood Simple (4K), Harakiri, Pinocchio (4K) and Blast of Silence)
I was lucky this year that I was close to earning 500 points, so I ended up making one order using my $10 gift certificate, which put me over to get my $50, then I used that on a second order. In all, I spent less that $120 on the Chantal Ackerman set, Trainspotting 4k, Letter Never Sent, the Freaks et al box set, Harikiri, Bitter Rice, and Three Outlaw Samurai.
Thanks James! I'm eyeing both of the Eric Rohmer sets ("Six Moral Tales" and the new "Tales of the Four Seasons"). Rohmer isn't talked about as much as some other French New Wave directors but he definitely has his fans.
These Flash Sales help ease the load for the July B&N sale. My order: Blast of Silence, Red Balloon, Rohmer 4 Seasons set, McCabe & Mrs. Miller 4K, Lone Star 4K and The Roaring Twenties 4K 😊
Good stuff I look forward to seeing again and some for first time. I doubled down before the sale ended and got Nothing But A Man, Trainspotting 4K and upgraded to Apu Trilogy 4K 😅 Both orders arrived yesterday.
Already ordered the Chantal Ackerman box set, Mudbound, Trainspotting, Nothing but a Man, Roaring Twenties, and my most anticipated, The Heroic Trio/Executioners box set. Also picked up Pickup on South Street based on your recommendation. Got to use my $10 gift card and my $50 gift card! Thinking about getting the Godzilla box set, but maybe I'll wait on that one.
I wish I could place an order but blus aren't in the budget right now. I would love to get The Others 4K, the Ranown Western set and around 15-20 others, ha. If you haven't seen Come and See, that's one I'd highly recommend. It's definitely not a feel good movie but it's quite an experience. The Ascent is another great Russian movie set during WW2 and it was directed by the wife of the filmmaker who made Come and See. Not sure why my recs are both Russian war movies but I think they're really strong movies and are worth checking out.
Hello, Hunter. There’s always the next sale so no worries if you couldn’t partake in this one. I’ve seen Come and See and it’s really good and I need to watch my copy of The Ascent.
I was pretty excited about this sale! I went all in on 4K and managed to pick up Raging Bull, The Red Shoes and Kurosawa's Dreams.
Those are all excellent 4K titles, Bryan. Enjoy!
I'm glad I was able to participate in this flash sale. I picked up Thief, the Jackie Chan boxset and The Heroic Trio / Executioners set.
Nice pickups, urbanexcursion. Enjoy those!
Thanks James. Love these Criterion flash sales. I placed my order just after noon today. Hope you (and everyone) enjoy the sale. 😀

Exciting time of the year for sure, ha. Went with the Demy set and the complete Agnes Varda set! Can't wait to dive into them
Nice. Both excellent sets. Enjoy!
Just placed my order. Got del Toro’s Pinocchio, The Heroic Trio/Executioners, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and Zazie dans le Metro
Well done, Patrick! Zazie dans le Metro is a title I still need to pick up at some point.

Lane, nice work using those gift cards. I did the same and also got the Akerman set. We can exchange notes on it 😀.
I got Pinocchio, Trainspotting and Heroic Trio.
Nice pickups, Michael. Enjoy!

There really isn’t much that I want so I’m probably going to sit this one out and wait until July.
Sounds good, Tim. There’s always another sale.
I lost the email with my $10 code. Wish I had one to use.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you are able to recover that email.
Due to a budgetary reasons I'll be skipping this sale this time
Totally understandable. There will always be another sale 😀.
Lame. On a Tuesday. Will not be able to get anything. Payday is Friday.
Can’t you just pay off your credit card on Friday?
Yeah, the 24 hour flash sales tend to go from Tuesday Noon to Wednesday Noon. Perhaps a future month long B&N sale will work better.
