Trying to get some 4k releases of Criterion from Spain. I see on Amazon some 4k editions around 25$, but...after the taxes,etc... 40€. Is there any chance to get this titles in Europe in a cheaper way? Thank you so much!!!!!!

The EU really tightened up the process with the new regulations last year. That’s just the way it is I’m afraid. Ken

It's kinda funny how criterion is all about world cinema and restoring film, making sure that important  film from around the world gets restored and curated. And yet there films are so unaccessible around the world, even here in america theres only one store that sales there product and that's Barnes and Noble. And those stores are far and few between.

Are criterion group buys for the UK a thing?

 

Raging bull coming up would be a good way to start if not.... *

I did and sadly they don't stock certain titles... for instance "The Breakfast Club" and I'm yet to see any pre-order for Raging bull

Tried amazon…?….

[Guest]

No good unfortunately... I'm usually pretty good at sourcing stuff tbh but outside of Ebay at an inflated cost I'm struggling with this one

Guess I'll just wait for the 4k and hope that is a wider release  😊👍🏻

Well don’t give up … a copy will come your way eventually …. I spent several years wxoting for certain editions and have eventually caught up with them at very favourable prices …

I know I know, you're right, patience young padawan etc.

 

If we had it all, the chase would be over and we'd be bored, as that's part of the fun... or should I say "fun" 🤔 😏 😉

Its fun chasing and the joy of getting….

Once you finally get that one that’s alluded you, it makes you appreciate it that much more.

Anyone bought any titles this sale or plan to? I just ordered 30 movies from the sale cant wait to watch a couple blind buys and recieve some favorites of mine. Plan on sharing a pic when there here.

Yikes, 30! I'm interested n picking up Pink Flamingos myself, but I already have the New Line set of John Waters which I think is pretty good. Yet I've being buying all of Criterion's recent releases as well, as I just love the Dreamlander's and John's commentaries and anecdotes.

Gotta be honest I haven't dove into john waters much I was kinda turned off watching multiple maniacs and didnt finish it but I'm definitely going to try again. I think I just wasnt ready or prepared for his style and how strange that world of film is lol, but what would you say is a good starter for him, for beginners? Should I try rewatching multiple maniacs or try something else first?

[StevenWest]

He's an 'acquired taste' I'll give you that! What floors me about his early movies is the amount of dialog he gives to the actors and/or the long takes he does of them. Absolutely fearless on all counts. Goddard and Truffaut were daring at best.

Very nice haul. My first 4K Criterion, Raging Bull, should arrive in a couple of weeks 😃

I'm eagerly awaiting the announcment of their October titles, which should happen pretty soon. Since Goodfellas has yet to receive a proper release (Premium or otherwise), Criterion pretty much remain my only hope and I'm confident it will happen at some point. Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The King Of Comedy all got nice Zavvi steels so it's about time the greatest ever mob movie got the treatment it deserves.

Titans of cult did a nice premium steel of goodfellas.  
 

as for the October Criterion releases it’s rumored that Night of the Living Dead in 4K and The Infernal Affairs trilogy are coming!

I'd rather not put into words what I think of this 'Premium' release, so I'll leave it at that.

I didn't see the second and third films of the trilogy. I absolutely loved the first one and thought it didn't need any prequel/sequel.

If Criterion will indeed release the trilogy, it will most likely be as a boxset, in which case I'll sadly have to pass.
