The Complete Mr. Arkadin also has Welles' novel. It's a pretty sweet set all around.

Picnic at Hanging Rock does too. Nashville also has the same box layout as Fantastic Mr. Fox and it doesn't bug me in the slightest.

Found a copy of The Makioka Sisters on Bluray at a used movie/junk store over the weekend for pretty cheap. Total blind buy for me, and my first criterion purchase. Pretty hyped regardless.

Safe to say I was pleasantly surprised!

I don't know about Anatomy of a Murder being better than 12 Angry Men. It's hard to be too impressed by a movie that tries to distract the audience with flashy nonsense like "background music" and "female characters"Friedpundit posted:Picnic at Hanging Rock does too. That reminds me, I was also told itt that Nashville is better than Slacker, and that is a damned lie.

Criterion's putting Watership Down up on their iTunes channel: Not sure if this means a future disc release, but that'd be cool. Would be nice if this meant more animated Criterion releases but I don't want to get my hopes up.

I'll try and wait for the next B&N sale for the Tati box but drat is it tempting. I suppose there was no chance they would ever include The Illusionist but it looks like a beautiful set.

I loving love The Vanishing but I don't think I really need to upgrade, even though the DVD is barebones. And F for Fake is one of the few Criterions I paid retail price for so I can't justify buying it again.

For me it has such a cold, methodical way of presenting information and I enjoy seeing how the plot progresses. And I'm a sucker for mega-downer endings if the build up was done well enough (see: Chinatown)

Insomnia and The Vanishing make a great double feature if you enjoy feeling awful, and I apparently do because the first time I saw them I did that.

I've also seen the terrible American remake once and change, just to show the awful ending to someone who didn't believe me about it.

October is probably the month where I buy a shitload of titles at full price, because goddamn. I'm loving the westerns that Criterion is pushing out. If I've never seen The Vanishing, is it worth it? The barebones disc made me think I'll pass, but you guys are giving it a good rap.

Noooo don't buy them full-price, the second of the year's Barnes and Noble sales is in November! You can wait three weeks! And yes, The Vanishing is an amazing, tense, slow crawl of a movie.
