This whole sorting this is out of hand.... I like the Tupperware one best. So the sale begins tomorrow, right? If I wanted to get one of these [along with Stalker] which one would you recommend? Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown Hopscotch They Live By Night

Of the three I've only seen Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, but I thought it was a lot of fun and enjoyed it a lot.

I should note that all 3 would be blind-buys. This whole 'having responsibilities and less disposable income' thing is no fun at all, or else I'd just get them all like I used to.

How long will the sale run? I leave for a big trip the day after tomorrow and I'm torn between buying everything now or waiting until I get back late next week. I'll probably get Tampopo, Good Morning, the Tati set, and pre-order Stalker for sure. What's the consensus on Cat People and Kuroneko?

Cat People (1942) is one of the best films ever made. All the Lewton/Tourneur joints are loving aces.

The Tati set is the single greatest release from Criterion. Only the John Hughes set will top it.

I'm having a hard time gauging what the demand is going to be for Stalker. I'm not worried, I preordered already, but I'm just curious because it's such an anticipated release among Criterion people but at the same time it's not like a Dr. Strangelove or Moonrise Kingdom where there's mainstream demand. Will there just be copies sitting on the shelf at B&N or will they have only ordered like 3 of them that will be snapped up by special orders before they ever hit the shelf?

SubG posted:Cat People (1942) is one of the best films ever made. All the Lewton/Tourneur joints are loving aces. Yep. I understand this is the Criterion thread but I'd strongly suggest just picking up this DVD with Cat People, The Curse of the Cat People, I Walked With a Zombie, and The Body Snatcher if you were considering a blind buy. It's cheaper than just picking up the Cat People Criterion, even on sale. I imagine it looks terrific on blu-ray, though

Escobarbarian posted:Don't recommend people buy SD copies of things in 2017 I do it when its the only thing available. Stuff like old John Wayne westerns and Hammer horror movies sometimes have DVD releases and that's it. Hammer is starting to go back through and re-release a lot of their sets on blu ray now, but it took years for that to happen and in the meantime I've had these DVDs that only cost me like $15 each(for multiple films).

morestuff posted:Four great, slightly fuzzy movies > one great, pristine movie I do wish that When Horror Came to Shochiku box set was on blu ray, if it was I would've bought it by now. I kept it light this time, just Stalker and Night of the Hunter. I've too many blu rays. Detective No. 27 posted:Anyone recommend Vengeance is Mine? yeah it's great, one of the best serial killer movies ever. a bit too brutal for me to see it as all that rewatchable though (although I have watched it twice).

I only got Antonioni's Blow-Up for now due to a lack of money. Gonna get Stalker from Amazon UK because shipping it from there to the Netherlands is faster and costs about the same.

Raxivace posted:"One of the most important" is really stretching it but I have no real problem with him being in there. At the very least I think The Breakfast Club has enough cultural significance to deserve a Criterion. And it's corny as hell, but it's really not that bad a movie.
