James always on the road but still giving us videos. Love it! Drylongso was a great discovery for me as well. A compelling story for next to nothing budget always great to see that. I am Cuba and Dogfight are also at the top of my list along with Victims of Sin and the Runner. Start saving up! 😆
Great list James! Here is mine: [ ] All The Beauty [ ] The Runner [ ] To Die For [ ] Werckmeister Harmonies [ ] I Am Cuba [ ] Dogfight [ ] Ousmane Sembene box [ ] Anatomy of a Fall [ ] Querelle [ ] Bound [ ] Victims of Sin [ ] Perfect Days [ ] Black God, White Devil
Well I’ve got quite few more to buy , but I’m only grabbing 6 for budgetary reasons ( unless something changes financially) I’m in for 1 BOUND 2 THE GRADUATE 3BEYOND THE HILLS 4 TRAINSPOTTING 5 MUDBOIND 6 THE RUNNER
Here's my list: All That Money Can Buy To Die For 4K Lynch/Oz La haine 4K Peeping Tom 4K Blue Velvet 4K Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid 4K Le Samourai 4K Dogfight Victims of Sin Werckmeister Harmonies 4K I Am Cuba 4K Risky Business 4K Perfect Days 4K A Story of Floating Weeds / Floating Weeds: Two Films by Yasujiro Ozu Three Revolutionary Films by Ousmane Sembène Bound 4K Black God, White Devil Querelle I'll try to get them all but may wait for later to get the last few on the list 🙂
I may have to hold off on some of these until the October flash sale and November B&N sale but the August releases look like 5 solid titles. There's no letting up 😀
I still need to make a complete list of my sale pickups, but I already know for a fact that I'm gonna get Peeping Tom 4K, the 2 Albert Brooks films (Lost in America, Defending Your Life), A Matter of Life and Death (one of my favorite Powell/Pressburger films), and Le Samouraï 4K (might get some other Melville films too).
Hi James. Great thoughts and recommendations as always. I'm interested in picking up Pat Garrett and still need to get the Chantal Ackerman set. I'm hopeful that the sale happens in July as it typically does. Hope you enjoy the rest of the week.
Thanks, Dave! Glad you enjoyed my wishlist. I’m definitely looking forward to the sale and picking up some great titles and looking forward to seeing what you and everyone else is getting. Have a great rest of your week as well!
Interesting mix of titles, thanks James. So many to sort through and consider for July sale; I've got about a top 20 Criterions on wish list that constantly change, and I'll be buying about 5 in July, always a dilemma. One for sure is The Graduate...will go ahead and get the blu-ray, tired of waiting for a 4k, but with my luck it'll come out in 4k in less than a year, just like happened with another fav of mine Blue Velvet which I bought a few months ago.
Hello, Pete! The Graduate is a nice edition. You never know when a 4K might come out but to your point, no need to wait on a title you want. Hope you enjoy the sale next month and get a few nice titles for your collection!
I'm looking at 8 titles too, they are all 4ks: Menace II Society The Princess Bride Days of Heaven Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid Risky Business Videodrome Uncut Gems I'm on the fence about Blue Velvet and Bound.
I'm going to be buying a new car by the end of July so I'm only planning on buying 2 titles only. To Die For on Blu-ray and upgrading my McCabe and Miller DVD to Blu-ray.
I’m definitely upgrading Le Samourai and I can’t wait to get I Am Cuba. I saw it years ago on DVD and remember being very impressed with the technical aspects of the movie. The director also did Letter Never Sent and The Cranes are Flying which are also on criterion and are really good movies. I’ll have to see what else I can get. I’ve got a little kit of a budget this year so hopefully I can get 8-10 titles.
Hello, Hunter. Limiting to 8-10 is a good plan and it looks like you’ve got some nice titles on your list. I don’t have Letter Never Sent or Cranes are Flying so those could be titles I pick up in a future sale.
Will check out Drylongso. Thank you for recommendation. All The Beauty & The Bloodshed is a fascinating documentary. It was up for an Oscar a couple of years ago. Excited for release of Risky Business. Happy Criterion is showing it some love.
James always on the road but still giving us videos. Love it! Drylongso was a great discovery for me as well. A compelling story for next to nothing budget always great to see that. I am Cuba and Dogfight are also at the top of my list along with Victims of Sin and the Runner. Start saving up! 😆

All That Money Can Buy is that a movie or the name for your list? haha just kidding. I know how it is with these sales it's time to play catch up
I may have to hold off on some of these until the October flash sale and November B&N sale but the August releases look like 5 solid titles. There's no letting up 😀
dogfight is great. remember catching that on cable in mid90s. excellent photography.
Looking forward to seeing Dogfight, Steve!

Gonna be a fun sale! I too plan to pick up Le Samourai on 4K.

I'm looking at 8 titles too, they are all 4ks:
Menace II Society
The Princess Bride
Days of Heaven
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Risky Business
Videodrome
Uncut Gems
I'm on the fence about Blue Velvet and Bound.
Nice list you’re working on there. Hope you enjoy all the titles you pick up next month!
I'm going to be buying a new car by the end of July so I'm only planning on buying 2 titles only. To Die For on Blu-ray and upgrading my McCabe and Miller DVD to Blu-ray.
Nice. Good priorities and hope you enjoy those pickups next month. Both excellent editions and nice HD pictures.
I’m definitely upgrading Le Samourai and I can’t wait to get I Am Cuba. I saw it years ago on DVD and remember being very impressed with the technical aspects of the movie. The director also did Letter Never Sent and The Cranes are Flying which are also on criterion and are really good movies.

Scott, thank you for your take on All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. Good to know and I’m looking forward to seeing it.
Absolutely grabbing Bound and Querelle soon (digging the beard btw)
Cool. Hope you enjoy those pickups next month. Glad you dig the beard 😀. Appreciate it!
Great pickups recommendations. I attempted to watch Dryslongo and it wasn’t for me. Criterion is going to hurt my wallet next month.
Glad you liked my wishlist, Archie. Hope you are able to pick up the titles you’re looking for next month.
Le samurai 4k, before trilogy, deep cover that’s my list so far
Nice list you’re working on there, Theo! Enjoy the sale.
A few weeks seem like forever
Will be here before we know it 😀.
