It makes me sad looking through this thread... so many great releases! Hopefully most of the ones I'm interested in eventually make their way over to the UK.

The transfer on SPEEDY is stunning. It looks like it was shot yesterday!

Was just coming to post the same thing.

I ended up ordering 4 titles at £11.69 each with the code... so £46.76 altogether (saving £5.20 overall).

Congrats! Which titles you choose?

Btw, the rating logo is still printed on the cover right?

Here Comes Mr Jordan, Tootsie, The In-Laws and Dr Strangelove... not that I need yet another copy of that, but I can't resist such a gorgeous looking digipack!

Yeah, they all come with printed rating logos unfortunately. I wish Criterion would take a note from Powerhouse/Indicator and do reverse sleeves with clean artwork on one side... or maybe just use rating logo stickers (I suppose they'd have to for digipacks).

Great picks! I'm desperate to get the Film Noir ones- Cat People, In a lonely Place and Gilda.
Maybe I should let my fear of the printed logo go and enjoy some Criterion for cheap.

If you're desperate mate, then I'd say go for it... especially at those prices! Thankfully there's no rating logos on the spines, so they look exactly like the US versions when they're all lined up on your shelf.

Just a heads up, today is the last day of B&Ns Criterion 50 % off sale!

I wanted to order the Cassavetes Boxset but it's, of course, sold out by now at B&N
So I'm sorting out my wishlist to get 5-6 Keep Cases. Hard time to choose!

Yeah, I know exactly, what you mean...
I'm currently hesitating between "forget it, I've ordered just enough titles during this sale" vs. "yeah, I still have time to order 3 more, to shrink my wishlist, but if I do which titles to choose?"

DAMN! You went all in I see

I only own from these: Pan's (in the new Boxset), Breathless (the first release) and Red Shoes.

Intrigued now by a lot from them. I need to do a little research now Thank you

Thank you Punk! Awesome selection

I only own Charade from them. Gilda and Cat People I probably pick up this month from the Criterion UK line. Both great Film Noir. I adore Film Noir

But there are some gems I also need to do research

I'm trying to avoid box sets and digipack for now.

Me too mate. I only go for Keep Cases for this order. If you receive a damaged Keep Case please let me know before I send you your package, I got 10 empty Scanavo Cases here to exchange.

I adore Film Noir

I kinda noticed that. Film noir is an excellent genre. The atmosphere is so close to horror films.
