Default For film buffs.

deepdiscountdvd.com is having a sale on ALL Criterion Collection DVDS.

Check it out here .

As always, free shipping is generally very slow, but I have had no issues with this site in the past.

I think I may pick a few titles out for myself.

I strongly recommend 'Naked', chaps. Actually, there's a ton to recommend, but this often gets forgotten.

Heh, I actually had both pryor15 and diebitter in mind when I posted this, and you guys both saw it and replied within 5 minutes of me posting it.

Nice work.

Wow, there's some stuff here I didn't know was out!


I'd also recommend:

Black Narcissus
Long Good Friday
Eyes without a face
Man bites dog
Peeping Tom
Spartacus
Tin Drum
Withnail and I (I'll be reviewing this soon)

and a second shout for: NAKED

And each and every Kurosawa (Seven Samurai if you have to pick just one)


There are loads more here that are good stuff tho.

I'm a big fan of Powell and Pressburger, too; you might also try I Know Where I'm Going (the inspiration for Local Hero) if you haven't seen it. Last year, I bought

Ugetsu (perhaps the best DVD released last year)
Au Hassard Balthazar
Pickpocket
Jules and Jim
Ran
Black Narcissus
The Red Shoes

and a few others from Criterion.

(I'm lucky; I can use them for a tax write off.)

I'm going through the list right now. The two thoughts going through my head are: awesome and crap. I've wanted a bunch of these films for a while, but, I'm short on money. THat being said, I can't let an opportunity like this go to waste

That's exactly where I'm at KDawg. I hate you for this, Kipin.

But thanks.
