This store was loaded with a big selection and plenty of copies of the big releases. Barnes and Noble was crazy busy during Memorial Day, so I’m not surprised it was busy today. Good hunting, my friend! 😊
I went to that B&N last Friday. I got Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Bound all on 4K. The first two I was upgrading from DVD. The Kino Lorber sale was still going on, so I also bought Cry-Baby on 4K. I hate the packaging for the Trainspotting 4K, but I like how the disc sleeves say “Choose 4K UHD” and “Choose Blu-ray”. Edit: I swear I remember seeing To Die For on 4K at Best Buy when they still sold movies, so it had to have come out late last year. Speaking of To Die For, it was the first movie where Joaquin Phoenix was credited as Joaquin. He had been in tons of stuff before that, credited as Leaf Phoenix.
Great pickup with Pat Garrett. I found that around the 2nd or 3rd time watching you really start to understand the context of the Bob Dylan lyrics as they apply to the scenes, and that just elevates the experience. My dvd has lots of commentary/extra music features, but it's fun to learn about the extra cuts, I might have to track it down!!
A half price books in my area closed down and they had a 50% off sale today and I was not going to buy anymore until black Friday sale but I had no choice to check out what they had. And after waiting a hour to get into store ( long lines) and two hours in store ( even longer lines) I got zombieland double tap 4k and the entire 8 harry potter Blu ray collection for $16 bucks after taxes. A absolute steal
After I watched this, I went back to the B&N website and ordered Punch Drunk Love on blu and Videodrome on 4k. That's 4 titles so far, I think I'm good till November.
Great shirt, have that same one. Jurassic Park was the first film I got to see on the big screen. At the drive-in of all places. Been enjoying your channel for a while now but subscribed today.
It looks like both of mine have sold lots of movies (especially the 4Ks), which is exciting to see. I went at noon on day 1 and bought $160 worth and then went back yesterday for 2 more movies. I want to pick up Mishima, A Matter of Life and Death, the Breakfast Club and the Cure but they were done with 4K scans and could release on that format so I'm hesitant.
I'm waiting until I see what the Prime Day deals are before buying anything. If They're just the same old movies for $9.99 and the same box sets like the James Bond Blu-ray set again then I'll hit up B&N
it so good to touch, feel, see the physical media 😅rather than Internet pictures. "Wild Bunch" would be an incredible 4k, I also wish for "Outlaw Josey Wales" 4k. I need get "Repulsion" timeless classic. Polanski 📽 a master of his art....yeah also talking about the director of Chinatown.
Loved Bound and will be looking for that one and To Die For before the sale is over. I love Criterion and look for those when I shop. The Game Exchange I occasionally shop at has a section just for the used Criterion movies.
That's a well stocked Barnes and Noble. Mine had maybe two copies of each newer title and one of everything else when I went on the first day of the sale. I picked up the 4k's of Blue Velvet, Days of Heaven, Bound, Blood Simple, and the blu-ray of Lynch/Oz. I'll probably go back again later in the month but these were my must buys for the sale.
I was going to take advantage of this sale because I had 60 bucks to spare, however, I decided to go to the Kino sale instead because I was able to get seven movies instead of only three
I'm so jealous of others' B&Ns. They all seem to be so well-stocked. My B&N used to have a big glorious wall dedicated to Criterion. Like everything else over the years it's been pared way back. Now it's just one section of a shelf. Sad days.
Ken, last time I checked, the Westport B&N stopped carrying movies a year or two ago. Unless they started up again. Also, make sure you check your discs. I have never had an issue before but one of the titles I got this time was defective.
Your Barnes & Noble had an endless supply of Bound meanwhile they’re sold out here in NYC, even the website is sold out. 😢 To Die For is legend, Nicole is amazing in it. You & Michelle should watch & review it for your other channel. I’d love to know what she thinks of the movie.
I did a sale order via Amazon of the jacques Tati set, the rohmer 6 moral tales set, millers crossing, blue is the warmest colour, the graduate fantastic planet and 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days would;d much rather have gone to a barnes and noble in person, I’m very scared as to the condition they’ll arrive in but I’m uk based so can’t order on barnes and noble
These are the Criterion movies I got on July 50% off sale. for $532. To Die For, Thelma & Louise, The Roaring Twenties, La haine HATE, 100 Years of Olympic Films (Includes Tokyo Olympiad), Rebecca, David Lean Direct Noel Coward (4 movies: In Which We Serve, This Happy Breed, Blithe Spirit, Brief Encounter), My Own Private Idaho, Passion of Joan of Arc, The Heiress, Woman in the Dunes, Badlands, Targets, Romeo and Juliet, After Hours. Some others I found online for free so returned those (Anatomy of a Fall, Summertime on Hulu). 8 of these were cheaper or available on Amazon when out of stock on B&N.
I get wanting to support Barnes and Noble, but mine doesn't want any support. They only have a few Criterion titles and they keep them behind the counter, you can't even look at them. They do the same with the Arrow titles, so the only way I can get anything is to pay and pick up if they even have the items.
I have. Young guns movies. Based on Billy the kid. I would like to see Pat Garrett and Billy the kid I'm not sure if you seen. The tv show or billy the kid I saw some of it soon they are having 2. Or 3 season of the series. It might be out now. New version of of the show
@@letstalkcriterion Hey, yes it was from WowHD. I don't recall if there was a cardboard insert but the parcel took a hit, got dented and creased. I bought Cry Baby the same week which also got a little squashed. It's the gamble we take buying from abroad I guess.
I am in the same city as Ken and we are lucky in that our city is one of the 12, I think, that was selected to be basically warehouses for the collection. Not every one is on the shelves, but I think they can easily get anything. And it is basically stocked like that year round.
Was that Trainspotting in the normal case a 4K or just a Blu Ray? If they put the 4K in a normal case I would buy it again so I can get rid of that awful cardboard case they gave it.
Ken have you bought the one false move 4K yet? It was a first time watch for me but it's probably up your alley has Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton in it
@@thedarknate08 I live in kinda a rual area, and I've learned to just stick with ordering online, expect for checking out my local Wal-Mart here and there, but they hardly ever have anything new either.
Order your "must haves" online but for pickup, then leave your maybes for whatever you're feeling when you get there. Head somewhere else in the area that you're interested in to make fuller use of the time.
Which is why most people that buy criterion just wait for the sale. $25 might not be a smokin deal but it's reasonable if it's a movie you really want.
I love love love these types of videos. There's no physical media sale that brings the community together like the Barnes Criterion sale.
I absolutely agree

The invitation is dope. They need to Release "Super Dark times"

Repulsion is excellent as is Cul De Sac also Polanski on Criterion, there is a good selection in the store.
Knife in the Water was a great release but they have yet to upgrade it to bluray.
Pat Garrett 4K .. is top contender for release of the yr.
Taking it easy on Criterion. Only picked up Bound 4K and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 4K. I’ll probably make one more trip for Risky Business
Cool haul. I picked up the 4k Wall•e and the bluray Repo Man.
A half price books in my area closed down and they had a 50% off sale today and I was not going to buy anymore until black Friday sale but I had no choice to check out what they had.

That's a good start to Criterion Sale!
I get To Die For and it's one of my best 4k. The film is great
Highly recommend "Bound". Great Pick Ups.
My local B&N is never that well stocked. I ended up online. My only physical in-store purchase was American Graffiti 4k because UNI is also half off.
In the past I tried to find movies and sound tracks to films I don't do that no more. The one that are worth. Buying
After I watched this, I went back to the B&N website and ordered Punch Drunk Love on blu and Videodrome on 4k. That's 4 titles so far, I think I'm good till November.

@@LilEsBella I was actually going to ask her to watch it with me, so a review for us is very possible!
sales time is the only time to buy there.... their sale prices are everyone else's regular prices
Good hunting and haul.🤑
Happy 4th of July. 🎆 🎇
To die for is a good movie and it might be jauqoin phoenix's first movie

Happy 4th of July.
It's more cost effective to wait for Criterions flash sales ever since B&N stopped offering the extra 10% for members.
IMHO…To Die For is still to this day Nicole Kidman’s best performance by far. Gangbusters!! Enjoy ;)
Great choices!
I get wanting to support Barnes and Noble, but mine doesn't want any support. They only have a few Criterion titles and they keep them behind the counter, you can't even look at them.

I just added One false move 4K and Bound 4K I go for movies in the 80s and 90s time frame thats my bag

Ken, knowing your tastes, you will not like Repulsion.
Nice haul, To die for, is great, put it on the top!
I'm pissed we don't get Criterion sales in the UK, sucks. I just got Blue Velvet 4K imported for £39! Plus it got damaged, what a mug. 😅
Was your import from wowhd? If so did they put a cardboard insert in.
@@letstalkcriterion Hey, yes it was from WowHD. I don't recall if there was a cardboard insert but the parcel took a hit, got dented and creased. I bought Cry Baby the same week which also got a little squashed. It's the gamble we take buying from abroad I guess.
What the hell I went to my BN and it has probably 20 titles and that's it. Only one tiny area with like 4 shelves.
I am in the same city as Ken and we are lucky in that our city is one of the 12, I think, that was selected to be basically warehouses for the collection. Not every one is on the shelves, but I think they can easily get anything. And it is basically stocked like that year round.
Try a different one. Where I live the closest one is that way but there's another one about 10 miles south that has multiple isles of movies
Great pickups. Smart man. I’m never buying a back catalog Criterion again. They are uploading everything to 4k.
Peeping Tom LOL Ken. I need the Princess bride on 4k bluray
This gets me hyped!
First time participating in this baby. I went on day 1 and picked up nine titles. I got To Die For as well
@@rampdavidson6397 Heck yeah! Feels good doesn’t it! Lol
Peeping Tom was arrested unfortunately in 4k. Very sad to hear.
Was that Trainspotting in the normal case a 4K or just a Blu Ray? If they put the 4K in a normal case I would buy it again so I can get rid of that awful cardboard case they gave it.
@@AAA__ No. just a Blu-ray in the regular case.
Ken have you bought the one false move 4K yet? It was a first time watch for me but it's probably up your alley has Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton in it
Came out in 92 and it's a crime thriller so it fit me to a tee so jumped on it during the sale lol
I need to make my order...
Love your music
Pick up Dogfight. You won't be sorry
How is Seven Samurai not on 4K yet?
It has a 4K restoration, so I'd say it will happen soon.
isn't the seven samurai out of print now?
How many days do these usually last?
30 days
50% OFF! 😱
of $50...
The Invitation needs a physical release so bad.
Last time i went to a Barnes and Noble back in February, it was a complete waste of my time! And I drove over 100 miles to get there! Never again!
Yeah I don't have one where I live either
@@thedarknate08 I live in kinda a rual area, and I've learned to just stick with ordering online, expect for checking out my local Wal-Mart here and there, but they hardly ever have anything new either.
Agree lack of physical movies and extremely overpriced. These 50% off sales is misleading because they just drop them to really to normal prices
Order your "must haves" online but for pickup, then leave your maybes for whatever you're feeling when you get there. Head somewhere else in the area that you're interested in to make fuller use of the time.
Do they sell any physical media without a sale? $50-60 for a blu ray is insane. Not interested in many of those movies anyhow.
Yeah Criterion is usually really expensive. The only time it is worth buying is during their sales usually twice a year in July and November.
Which is why most people that buy criterion just wait for the sale. $25 might not be a smokin deal but it's reasonable if it's a movie you really want.
You wanted the blu ray, not 4k Peeping Tom? Why?
@@brunomachado7279 Opposite of that. Lol
@@midlevelmedia 😂 I misunderstood. I have the Studio Canal release of this one.
4 releases is not even close to a full bag. I picked up to die for and 3 wes anderson films
