SALES! (B&N Criterion, etc.)

[dave jenkins]

B&N have begun their 50% Criterion Sale, on until Dec. 3. This month Criterion will release The Magnificent Ambersons and a massive box of Ingmar Bergman's films. I will be spending some money this month for sure.

Really glad that I hate Bergman, no interest in buying that / spending all my money - but great deal for sure for Bergman fans.

Ambersons will be mine though and likely a couple other Welles releases I'd been looking to revisit.

[T.H.]

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not a Bergman person either. I think that would be a must buy for a lot of his fans.

I still have a reasonably long list of movies to pick up from that sale (and/or the next one):

The Asphalt Jungle
Le Samourai
Night of the Living Dead
Rumble Fish
Only Angels Have Wings
They Live By Night
The Friends of Eddie Coyle
High and Low
Barry Lyndon (if the transfer is considerably better)
Mulholland Dr

I need to get Forty Guns as well.

Barry Lyndon (if the transfer is considerably better)

It's certainly better, whether or not "considerably" so is difficult to say.

[dave jenkins]

I need to get Forty Guns as well.

Won't be out in time for the sale.

[T.H.]

Won't be out in time for the sale.

I should probably pay the full price and not wait for a sale since that movie would be near the top of a criterion wish list.

As for Lyndon, I'll take your word for it. Thanks.

B&N's 50% off Criterion sale has begun. It goes, I understand, until Aug. 4.

cool

Twilight Time has a sale going on that might expire in a day or two and I picked up Warlock (1959), Lawman, The Bravados and Scorpio. I usually don't blind buy movies but the latter was like 6 bucks -- is Scorpio a solid movie? As for Winner, I'm a big fan of The Mechanic (A+), Death Wish (A), Chato's Land (B+) and Lawman (B+) if that helps. I tried the search engine and couldn't find anything, so I figured this thread would be the best place to ask if anyone has seen it.

Lawman and Ulzana's Raid are my favorite Lancaster Westerns

Scorpio is very bad, but you didn't pay too much for it so there's nothing to sweat.

I like your grading system. I too would rank The Mechanic above all other Winner films and I like Death Wish quite a lot. I even like The Big Sleep (with the usual reservations, of course).

[T.H.]

I know you somewhat agree with my thoughts on The Big Sleep '78 so I'm probably not going to like Scorpio at all. Oh well.

Thanks, where is the closest one to Stanwood, WA? 

[dave jenkins]

Going south, Lynnwood. Going north, Bellingham. Your best bet is on-line shopping.

Are you out west this month?
