Hunting for Criterion Blu-rays & 4Ks | July 2024 Sale Haul #1 

So cool to have a partner in life who shares your passion for films. Excellent picks!

Sisters? Ab-so-friggin-lutely! Id take this over Rear Window sny day. With one of Bernard Hermann's most chilling scores. I got the Criterion on Day One. If it's still there next time, grab it.

De Palma's Sisters is a lot of fun. I think he's made better films, but if you enjoy the look of independent American cinema of the early 70s and that kind of journalist-as-heroes stories that you also get from All The President's Men, then yes, definitely one to check out.

I was in B&N Monday in NYC, before flying back to England. I brought 7 titles. If…,Breaker Morant, Days of Heaven, House,Sweet smell of success, Something Wild & An Unmarried Woman. So happy

Your haul videos have inspired me to dust off my passport and cross the border to go shop at the sale

All that Jazz is directed by Bob Fosse one of the greatest broadway choreographer/directors who ever lived he invented "the frug" a specific dance he directed Sweet Charity, Cabaret and Chicago, he had a sad death he had a heart attack outside the Willard hotel. To Die for is a black comedy, its not got anything too shocking in it but its really good fun, Nicole Kidman is superb in it,.

You guys make these videos so fun. Love the different perspective on taste as well. Night on Earth is a high recommendation has one of the funniest cab scenes ever filmed. Looking forward to future videos. Take care.

RU-vid just recommended this video to me and I'm already hooked on your channel. Love the aesthetic of it and you guys are so enjoyable to watch!

Barnes & Noble NEEDS to stop with there price labels that are like glue. I would buy so much more products from them if they didn’t use those price tags smh

Hey, new subscriber here! I used to collect dvds back when they were the new thing in the late 90’s and I fell off a long time ago. I just recently started collecting again with a focus on 4k blu rays and it feels like old times. Been loving looking at what others are picking up too. So far for criterion, I picked up Mulholland Drive, Wall-E, and The Others. Otherwise I picked up a couple films from A24. I also love that these things are region free. I have already imported a couple movies from Second Sight and Leonine (It Follows and Beau is Afraid). This hobby is so addictive and fun!

Can't believe you haven't seen James Cagney few suggestions public enemy, white heat, angels with dirty faces, and Yankees doodle dandy

Sisters is very creepy. It actually made me depressed and anxious.

Werckmeister Harmonies WILL replace Unbreakable as your favourite film from 2000, that is a certainty

I haven’t see all that jazz in ages. Gonna rewatch it. Great movie. I remember the Kubrick line. Roy was a great actor. Love him in Sorcerer. Don’t look now is brilliant! It gave me so many chills! I’m enjoying the vid 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥

I don’t own those movies, I’ll have to buy those. I can’t wait for your others vids to come. I might have misread it but I think she got “To Die For” on Blu-ray and it’s also on 4K. My Barnes and noble closed down, I have to order mine online.

Don’t Look Now is great ❤

I love your wife's tastes in movies. Great picks guys.

Not sure if you care but there’s a 4k for too die for

I went with... Blue Velvet 4K Peeping Tom 4K The Roaring Twenties 4K Double Indemnity 4K Le Samouraï 4K Picnic at Hanging Rock 4K

Grace! To Die For is an awesome movie, and very entertaining. All the macabre elements are handled with a darkly comedic tone.

Hi, DJ and Grace! I visited my local B&N Friday morning and left with the following titles: After Hours, Anatomy of a Fall, Mr. Klein, Peeping Tom and The Servant. The only two I hadn't yet seen were Mr. Klein and The Servant, but I did watch The Servant yesterday and enjoyed it. I also hope to pick up Mona Lisa and Floating Weeds in a few days. Re: your purchases, I think you'll love All That Money Can Buy. Edward Arnold is great as Daniel Webster. And by the way, William Dieterle is pronounced "Dee-ter-lee." Somebody else in the comments mentioned a few other James Cagney films you should check out, and I agree with all of his suggestions. My favorite Cagney film is a nostalgic little romantic 1941 comedy called "The Strawberry Blonde," which takes place at the turn of the 20th century. It's available on Warner Archive. Happy shopping!

I was going to buy my fair share, but it’s only at Barnes and Noble. Apart from a lack of patience, I can’t see a reason for not waiting until November for Criterion to have the sale on their site when I can get 10% back in rewards. To Die For is on my list. Haven’t seen it in a while, but it’s good and curious to see if you like it. Blood Simple isn’t my favorite Coen’s film, but it’s good and I picked it up in the November sale. Happy viewing!

Im still trying to get a list together for my first haul I wanna try and get at least 2 trips in this month

Damn my guy is slamming a 9/10.

Best channel

yeeesss, To Die For is incredible! I'm getting that for sure this sale! May be an all-time fav on a rewatch. It's in my 'almost favorites' list currently but it's been a while since I've seen it, so that's why I feel like I can't have it committed in my favorites list. Dogfight is another on my to-get list! It's my favorite River Phoenix film

Literally bought All That Jazz today! 10/10!

Im on holiday in USA and was just looking at arrow video blurays in B&N… $34.99 for a Blu-ray 😮 and I thought HMV was expensive 😅. Regular Arrow titles too, nothing special stuff you can get for £9.99 - £14.99 going for what is around £27.

I bought 30 criterions the first day lol I have a problem. To Die For has a 4k btw. The Roading Twenties was a fun one, surprisinhly educational too. Great picks y'all!

Angels With Dirty Faces is my favorite Cagney movie also costarring Humphrey Bogart

I’m in the UK so I always watch the barnes and noble shopping videos like Charlie looking into the sweet shop at the start of Willy wonka, though I did just do a sale order of Eric rohmers 6 moral tales, 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days, blue is the warmest colour (because it was like £9 for a criterion, you can’t say no to that), millers crossing, the graduate, the complete jaques tati and fantastic planet and I’m thinking about a second order of watership down, house, fish tank (was shot very close to where I live), the human condition trilogy and Eric rohmers tales of the 4 seasons

I never saw your videos. The are great. I love there are still people that love music and movies. I love them too. But feels lik i,m the only one😢. I wish I could find a friend are boyfriend that loves them too.

I highly recommend Exotica and Secret Sunshine as Criterion picks for you! Exotica sounds right up your alley, such an incredible film and kinda fits right along side your fable theme. Secret Sunshine was the first South Korean film in the Criterion collection and it comes from master filmmaker Lee Chang-Dong. While I think Burning is his absolute masterpiece (and my personal favorite film from the 21st century), Secret Sunshine has a lot of his trademark characteristics. It is a devastating film and if you are looking for an extraordinary lead actress performance it would be my pick in the CC.

You didn't get Days of Heaven? Thats the first one I would have grabbed!

You guys should watch Hundreds of Beavers

Night On Earth is really good, writing and acting both. To Die For also good and a true story

8:10 that’s me and I was coming in to shop for criterion’s when you were getting ready to checking out

"It's got a young River Phoenix" Not to be morbid but is there any other kind?

All that money can buy (aka The Devil and Daniel Webster) is one of the creepiest folk horror movies I ever saw. I was very young when I first saw it, 35-40 years ago and it maintains a strange power over me. Simone Simon who was in Cat People brings an otherworldliness to proceedings that works well with some of the dream like scenes. Might make a good double with Dante’s Inferno from Terror Vision

you haveing seen james cagney;; your in for a ride ' that you can't stop .

Fantastic haul look forward to the next trip to B&N

To Die For is great. It's more inspired by a true story than actually based on a true story. Well worth watching... Friends from out of town... Is that a hint we might see Conner soon?

They dropped to die for in 4k! This year

Great start for the July haul. Five great films. Seen them all except for the Tarr (waiting for mine to be delivered). Loved THE DEVIL & DANIEL WEBSTER (using the original Criterion title); Liked TO DIE FOR very much, this put Joaquin Phoenix on the map. Liked ROARING TWENTIES AND BLOOD SIMPLE a lot. I think Grace would enjoy both PEEPING TOM and SISTERS very much. I, too, was unaware of Criterion selling individual releases for BLUE, WHITE and RED. I'm picking up 20 new releases, the one I'm looking forward to that I haven't seen already is FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE. Enjoy hunting in the rest of the July hauls.

Does anyone buy Criterion movies at full price?

So jealous of that B&N selection, my local one has like maybe 1/4 that lol

Grace, add my voice to the outcry of “Sisters- YES.” It’s one of my favorite DePalma titles and has a dynamite ending. Also, I’ll be stunned if you don’t like “To Die For.” A great black comedy with one of the last produced screenplays of Buck (The Graduate) Henry. Very dark, very funny. DJ, “All That Money Can Buy” is a terrific little American Folk Fable. Walter Huston is on fire and features a murder’s row of great character actors. Finally I love “Blood Simple,” a nasty, mean little noir. Listen for a great audio cameo from Holly Hunter.

Do a video on top 20 criterion titles to get this year! There are soooo many titles it is overwhelming every year

Just a heads up that to die for has a 4k in case you want to exchange it!

Did Grace know that To Die For also has a 4K?

there are great movies, then there's Altman's 3 WOMEN - a masterpiece and I'd call it a perfect film. I AM CUBA is a must! if you haven't seen James Cagney in Billy Wilder's ONE TWO THREE, it almost killed him, paced to the Hungarian Sabre Dance!

Never seen cagney? Wow. Watch white heat asap

The Roaring Twenties nice

Just discovered your channel, loved both of you sharing your passion of films together. Great haul. I only wish Blood Simple had captions, but the perfect and sound is wonderful (not to mention the extras).

you two are so attractive/hot it's stunning

I just bought my first two of the sale so far.

Hedwig appears @7:48

What a lovely young couple!

I’ve seen Sisters, and it’s probably Brian De Palma’s most disturbing film he’s ever made, even if it tends to fizzle out a bit by the film’s end. The word “insane” doesn’t even begin to describe what I watched. I enjoyed it as a whole, but I don’t see too much replay value from it in the future. I’d recommend streaming it first if you can.

I want a marriage like this

Great pickups! I got After Hours, Come and See, Paris Texas, and In The Mood For Love. I need to see that Bela Tarr one!

is this the barnes and noble in dallas georgia? looks scary familiar when you guys left. lol

Good picks 👍🏻👍🏻

You should get Only the Animals. It’s a Cohen release not Criterion but Grace would enjoy it if she’s into crime films. I just rewatched it and loved it both times.

To die for is good that's one i picked up. Nothing scary. Nicole kidman is very beautiful and Joaquin phoenix is very young. Love the video

To Die For is great! Just watched it yesterday. If you're into Bogart you should check out In A Lonely Place which is also in the collection. Great videos, keep up the good work!

Since you said anatomy of a fall it was one of your favorite films it was for sure mine. Next haul You need to get that with the superchat I sent you. Love seeing you guys doing these videos 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah I didn't know they started a July sale on June 28th. I thought that was kind of strange but at least it's for a month. I've already got a bunch in my cart

You have such an old soul meets youth at heart clash that’s always fun and fascinating haha. Love your vids and obviously these criterion hauls are always the best. Excited to see more of you guys’ picks this month!

Hot Spot and Blood Simple good movies. Your'e gonna enjoy watching it

Can't wait to see what else you two have in store this month. Very groovy pick-ups.

Sisters is pretty amazing, early De Palma. You should see it! To Die For also has a 4K 😬

Sisters was really good. I first watched it on streaming and bought the criterion the first chance I could get

Watch Dogfight!!!!!!-amazing! 2 brilliant actors!

Just picked up Peeping Tom on 4K, Malcolm X on 4K, Videodrome on 4K, Cure, Island of Lost Souls and La Llorona today. I still want to get Cat People and MAYBE the 4K Don’t Look Now before the sale ends.

Forgive my ignorance as this video showed up in my recommended but why are Criterion movies so expensive and sought after?

Blood Simple is a suspense masterpiece. Definitely going to pick it up soon myself. Don’t have any in-store sales here in Canada but got a few recently online. Namely Trainspotting, Secret Sunshine and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down which I haven’t seen yet but I want to start collecting Almodovar films

I bought The Roaring Twenties about 6 months ago when it first came out. Any gangster film with Cagney and/or Bogart is a definite watch. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And if you like films of that nature, several others I recommend. The Asphalt Jungle, The Killing, The Naked City, Pickup On South Street, and High Sierra. Definite can't miss films.

all that money can buy '' great movie .

Is there a reason why you didn’t get To Die For in 4K?

I strongly recommend Chan is Missing.

Yes get Sisters you will love it. Good pick ups guys. I can't believe you passed over the Chantal Akerman boxset though!

Dang didn't know La Bamba had a criterion release. Defiantly gonna have to check my store for that one

I was just there yesterday afternoon. Now I know why I couldn’t find Anatomy of a Fall. 😢

Pick up sisters it's good

Blood Simple is my favorite Coen film. Enjoy!

Sisters is such a great movie!

The only Bela Tarr movie I have seen is the Tourin Horse (that I really hopes ends up in the collection sooner or later) that I catched in a theater way back! Have had my eyes on the Werckmeister Harmonies since its announcement but are working up courage and strenght to even begin with Satantango omg. But one day so. Great picks otherwise!

Are you really so wide eyed and Mormon youth pastor sounding off camera? It’s kinda eerie 😂

To die for is great but I got the 4k

Wermeister Harmonies is fantastic!

Daytrippers for the win!

Why didn’t you get to die for in 4k!?!?

Criterion. The company that charges $60 for a dvd and then uses the cheapest plastic that turns foggy after 3 years, lol. Great score.

I'm not spending $400 on a 4K blu-rays collectors is weirdos

You 4K DVD collectors is weird I can't buy this because I got a wrinkle in or hanging out the plastic weirdos
