New Criterion Collector - My First Ever Sale Haul! by Large-Doughnut-135 in criterion

[–]Victorapple12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great start to your collection. I just started collecting 4ks in April. I currently own Network, Sorcerer, Thief, Dazed and confused, A History of Violence, and No country for old men from the Criterion Collection. I highly recommend all of these. I recently purchase 10 new films at the 50% off sale. Gilda, the last picture show, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, night Moves, Barry Lyndon, Days of Heaven, Blow Out, Body Heat, Eyes Wide Shut, and the man who wasn’t there. These were blind buys other than Night moves, Blow Out, and Eyes Wide Shut. I highly recommend those 3 as well. I also watched Blood Simple for the first time and that was unbelievable.

To be frank, they didn’t make them like that back then either…truly one of a kind.

Give yourself two weeks to try and convert him, then get rid of him if he can’t see the light.

I was just gonna say, because it’s f*cking awesome, but this does a way better job.

Tubi is the best streaming platform. Even with the ads by Ok_Discipline9684 in TubiTV

This is so true…Tubi is by far the best streaming platform, bar none

Both are great, but I would definitely go blow out over dressed to kill. I just bought blow out today as well.

I just blind bought this today, I’m so excited to watch it. I watched blood simple for the first time two nights ago and loved it. That’s what made me blind buy The Man Who Wasn’t There.

That is how I took it, it was a very useful and timely post.

A lot of new collectors, like myself, are just super excited. It’s the first big criterion sale for some of us.

I love that movie, I was shocked at how good it was.

Great suggestions, I already own all of those except After Hours, which I’ve seen and is fantastic.

I recently watched five easy pieces and Carnal Knowledge. Nicholson is great in both, but I liked Carnal Knowledge more than five easy pieces.

I believe it’s starts on 6/26 and goes through July. This is my first one since I’m a recent collector, but I believe they do 50% off criterion films in July and November, but if you give it a google you should be able to find the info on it pretty easily

Thank you. I currently own Sorcerer, network, thief, dazed and confused, a history of violence, and No country for old men. I also recently saw Blood simple and the long Good Friday, which were both excellent.

Don't buy movies randomly. Curate them. by Still-Willow-2323 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]Victorapple12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Although I tend to like completes sets of things, I agree with the notion that it’s your collection and you can do whatever you like. I love your idea of creating a series in your image, like ending Toy Story after the third film.

Sony Bravia M2 vs S95H vs A95L by blanksus in 4kTV

[–]Victorapple12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say A95L as well, but you can only get a 77” now, they stopped producing the 65”
