Talk about twists and turns. I started watching “History is made at night” and thought it was a romance melodrama and then it became a murder mystery before making a transition to a screwball comedy and it took a really strange turn on the boat as a cliffhanger. I never expected anything like that
From your haul, I got "BRINGING UP BABY", "MIRROR", and "NIGHTMARE ALLEY" as well. I love the tarot cards as well that come with "ALLEY". Very cool! Along with those ... I got "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH" ... "THE PLAYER" ... "HIS GIRL FRIDAY" ... "PICKPOCKET" ... "THE HUMAN CONDITION" ... "YOUNG MR. LINCOLN" ... "THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER" ... "THE ASCENT" ... and "ARMY OF SHADOWS". Might go one more time.
"Witness for the Prosecution" is a great film. Charles Laughton, consummate actor, was married to his "nurse" in the film, who also played the "Bride" in "Bride of Frankenstein".
Ah man, it warms my heart to see people excited about silent cinema! and YES dude, I was going to say my favourite Lloyd film is The Kid Brother and you should consider checking that one out. It's SO much fun, great comedy, and the third act is so action packed and thrilling. Speedy is wonderful, and while I own The Freshman, I haven't actually watched it yet! I've heard it pronounced Frank Bor-zay-gee, but someone has "well ACTUALLY"d me on that... Bringing Up Baby is so funny, but the dialogue is SO fast paced and insane, it's so draining after two hours haha. Great chemistry with Grant and Hepburn though, I definitely have to buy that one. Great pickups man! Your editing is very entertaining, and your channel is quickly becoming a favourite :)
Thank you so much!! Means a ton! I’m so excited to see The Kid Brother!! Ok so someone else has commented that’s how you pronounce his last name so I’m going with that. And yes Bringing Up Baby is crazy! Reminds me of His Girl Friday with its fast dialogue.
@@maplestreetmovies Yeah I think given your enjoyment of Lloyd's other films you'll definitely at least really enjoy The Kid Brother. I absolutely love the three silent films Frank Borzage made with Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor. (Two of them counted towards Gaynor's Oscar win for Best Actress at the first ever Academy Awards.) I have French blu-rays of them, but I hope Criterion maybe picks them up one day. Yeah quite similar to His Girl Friday! And The Philadelphia Story too, which is another really good one.
Two questions: Where did you get the Bates Motel shirt, and do you own and have you watched the Dr Strangelove Criterion? Also, my haul included: Fritz Lang’s M Ernst Lubitsch’s To Be or Not To Be Orson Welles’ Othello Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter (B&N ordered that for me and I’m just waiting for it to get there.)
I got the shirt from Tee Public! :) I’ve seen Dr. Strangelove but don’t own the criterion. To be or not to be is great!! I love Night of the Hunter!! 💯
I picked up All About Eve, McCabe & Mr. Miller, Sweet Smell of Success, Philadelphia Story, Swing Time and Memories of Murder and plan on going back at the end of the month. Bringing up Baby is one of the ones I'm planning on getting later, because I desperately need more Katherine Hepburn in my collection. The only Barnes & Noble in my state didn't have the World of Wong Kar Wai, so I decided to go in blind instead.
@@maplestreetmovies This is good to know. I’ve been stacking the 50% off with the 10% off from membership for YEARS that I’ve amassed about 600 Criterion DVDs as a result of it. I bet I was the driving force behind the change in policy in 2020 ☠️💦 Anyway, you can buy discounted Barnes And Noble gift certificates at Raise or the Raise app, so you can still stack up discounts. I’m not sure if keeping the membership is worth it now or just shift that membership to the Criterion streaming channel 🤔🧐
Great video as always! I haven't heard of any of these movies before but I will have to check a few of them out. Defending Your Life in particular sounds really good! I'm pretty happy with what I got this sale; Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, The Breakfast Club, Crash, Dazed and Confused, Female Trouble, Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits, and Multiple Maniacs.
Impressive haul! Most of these movies I have never heard of, but I'm especially glad you picked up Bringing Up Baby, which is an absolute comedy gem! To date, I've made two trips to Barnes and Noble this month and have bought 9 films combined, with a third trip on the way as there's 3 stores in my area. I've currently The Circus, Mildred Pierce, Rushmore, Night of the Living Dead, The Manchurian Candidate, The Night of the Hunter, Moonrise Kingdom, Ace in the Hole, and Seven Samurai.
Also picked up Nightmare Alley! the artwork when it was first announced was a major draw along with Tyrone Power, I watched it after I bought it and it's a dark story but phenomonal!!
I couldn't remember the name when I was making the video, but I think it's digipack, because digibook is when there is a book built into the edition, which I also love haha
Damn thats an amazing haul! I only have 3: The Before Trilogy, 12 Angry Men and The Princess Bride, but one time I've gotta go down to the States during one of these sales!
It's now 3 weeks into the sale and I've, so far, bought 15 new titles: #34 Andrei Rublev #153 General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait #267 Kagemusha #289 Hoop Dreams #321 The Virgin Spring #541 The Night Of The Hunter #652 Monsieur Verdoux #740 The Bitter Tears Of Petra von Kant #756 Limelight #983 War And Peace #1019 Bamboozled #1075 Fast Times At Ridgemont High #1079/1080 Streetwise/Tiny: The Life Of Erin Blackwell #1084 Mirror #1085 Bringing Up Baby
I love the haul bro!! I’ve been wanting to check out the freshman and I almost blind bought History is made at night while I was hitting up the sale! Also I’ve been wanting to dive more into Cary Grant so I’m sure bringing up baby will be one I watch!
I got to work a few months on Guillermo's version of Nightmare Alley and as a fan of the original, MAN is it ever going to be good. The cast is stacked and the scene work is incredible. Can't wait for everyone else to see it!
Your haul is absolutely cinema gold!!!!I have seen all of those films except Mirror and I can sure you that everyone of them are just phenomenal! Nightmare Alley and Moonrise are two of the best dramas of the 1940’s. If you love Soul you will adore Defending Your Life. As for Harold Lloyd, the guy is an absolute genius! I want to recommend some titles for the future sale or for this one if you are still planning to go: The Naked Kiss, Asphalt Jungle, Sweet Smell of Success, In a Lonely Place, The Naked City, Night and the City, High and Low. Great noir and police procedural films.
Thank you so much!! I’m stoked to watch them! Of the ones you’ve recommended I own Sweet Smell and Night and the City. I’ve seen High and Low but don’t own it and I definitely plan on checking out in a lonely place soon. May have to get asphalt jungle, sounds great! Thanks for all these recs!
@@betterversionn I have seen all of them but life aquatic which is one of my friends favorites and in the Dietrich box set I have only seen Morocco but was hoping to get more into her early work.
I limit myself to three on these sales. I picked up Children of Paradise, The Elephant Man, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I think you'll like Defending Your Life; always good to see Harold Lloyd get some love; Merrily We Go to Hell is a good one, too, a kind of precursor to A Star Is Born in many ways.
I’ve been looking forward to this video! Both Safety Last & The Freshman are on my Criterion wishlist. I love Chaplin and Buster Keaton so I am very interested in getting into Lloyd’s work. History is Made at Night is incredible. I love Jean Arthur and have almost everything that has been released from her filmography. I really hope Criterion releases more of her work. Bringing Up Baby was my first pick up in this sale. So glad to have it in the collection. This release is outstanding. Thanks so much for this video, I always love your Criterion videos.
Thank you so much for watching! Yes I highly recommend getting into Lloyd, he’s a blast! Very witty and clever movies! I agree Criterion needs more Jean Arthur!
Any disappointments over things that you wanted but were unavailable? For me it was "The Golden Age Of Television", which randomly sold out two days before the sale started. I also slept on the "When Horror Came To Sochiku" Eclipse set, but fortunately Amazon had it. Otherwise, I ordered: "The Princess Bride", "Hedwig And The Angry Inch", "Blue Velvet", "La Cage Aux Folles", "The Lodger", and "Salo". I've also been hitting up Ebay: "Insomnia", "Shock Corridor", "Lord Of The Flies", "Seven Samurai", "M", "Weekend" (2011), "The Honeymoon Killers", "Rashomon", and "The Magic Flute". Not bad for my first sale.
That’s great! This is so random but I wanted Ride the Pink Horse and neither one I went to had it in stock 🙄 but I’m not losing sleep over it! You got some great ones!
I got the human condition, mirror and the red shoes. I’m kind of tempted to buy more I really want to get magnificent Ambersons and war and peace Elevator to the gallows is great I’ve only seen it once but some of the shots and moments have stuck with me.
Great haul, Nathan! I cannot speak highly enough of “Moonrise”! It is an essential film in the collection, in my opinion. I need to explore more of Borzage’s work. I believe you pronounce it Bore-Zaggy.
I picked up The Kid Brother, The Complete Jacques Tati, Bringing Up Baby, and Notorious. The only one's that i have seen are Kid Brother (loved it, my new favorite Lloyd) and Bringing Up Baby (also loved it). I have yet to see the others but i am excited to watch Notorious.
Hey Nathan, I plan on going to the sale I plan on picking up movies such as: ace in the hole, some like it hot, royal tennenbaums, Rushmore, great dictator, five easy pieces, and the kid Any recommendations
Those are some awesome titles right there! Getting both Billy Wilder films on the collection is a great move and then Chaplin and Wes Andersen are always safe bets. I have 2 videos where I talk about recommendations, you can check them out on this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLTIYTGBzhFn4qiQ-3XP19pRyGQIVFk8oZ.html
@@maplestreetmovies Hey I ordered my first one before I saw your reply but I’ll definitely be checking out your recommendations still! But I decided to pick up Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb! A blind buy for me so I know nothing about it and I’m excited to watch it. It just got here today and I’ll be watching it tonight
Great picks. I went the first weekend and picked up: Mirror Branded to Kill Secret & Lies Memories of Murder Celine and Julie Go Boating Flowers of Shanghai World of Wong Kar Wai
Fun fact about the magnificent ambersons is that there is a longer cut, but rio showed it to teenagers and they didn’t understand and they cut it into the cut that you see on criterion. This fall tcm (Turner Classic Movies) will be distributing the hunt for this copy. Cause rko burned all the copy’s but orsen wells sent it to a Brazilian film director so the documentary to find the film will be released this fall!
Nathan have you seen Orson Welles “The Stranger”? Orson Welles famously thinks it’s his worst film, but I think it’s incredible. Also, it’s one of Edward G. Robinson’s more subdued performances. Not it’s sure if it’s on Criterion though
SAFETY LAST is not just one of my favorite silents; it's one of my favorite films period. I also got around to watching my copy of THE FRESHMAN back in January. Cringe comedy at its silent film finest. I still need to see both THE KID BROTHER and SPEEDY, but I have both on my shelf. MOONRISE was my first Borzage film and also one of the earliest I saw on the Criterion Channel, though I have yet to acquire the Blu-ray. Incredible film. I'm eager to acquire HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT. I know nothing about it. BTW, THE MORTAL STORM was just released by Warner Archive last November. I bought it in their final 4 for $44 sale a few months ago, and I'll just say it's my #5 favorite film I'm seen so far this year. I just blind bought THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS from the B2G1 sale last month. Excited for more Welles. I also saw MIRROR nearly 3 years ago, back when I was still trying to get a handle on who Tarkovsky was. I didn't really get it at the time, but I've been anxiously waiting for this release so I can both revisit it and complete my Blu-ray collection of Tarkovsky's narrative films. This was the last one I needed. I've discovered I have much love for classic screwball comedy, and BRINGING UP BABY is no exception, yet another I watched back in the FilmStruck days. I won't be getting it at this time, but it's a certainty for the future. I've bought far more than enough lately, so I expect my own haul to stay limited to the World of Wong Kar Wai set I grabbed pre-sale, MIRROR, which I was going to wait on but I was jealous of everybody and their brother getting it, and GATE OF HELL, since Amazon had it backordered to August, and it's one of the cheaper barebones titles.
Great comment! I’ve since seen Speedy and so I only need to watch The Kid Brother! I’m excited to see Moonrise. I also definitely own that blu ray of Mortal Storm 😂 I still want a criterion though haha!
This was my first time year getting into criterion Blu-ray’s so I went all out. I got A Man Escaped, Brazil, Deep Cover, Election, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ghost Dog, House, Memories of Murder, Mirror, Mulholland Drive, Pan’s Labyrinth, Paths of Glory, Repo Man & Some Like it Hot. Then to top it off I got the complete Jacques Demy and Wong Kar Wai set. I’m content with not spending money on criterion till next 50% off sale…
I loved "The Cameraman" with Harold Lloyd. I wasn't a big fan of "The Kid Brother" though, but I also own "The Freshman" and "Safety Last". "Merrily we go to Hell" is so excellent. Do you own "The Story Of Temple Drake"? - this is an awesome pre-code movie! You will have so much fun watching "Elevator To The Gallows". I didn't like "Nightmare Alley" on DVD, so I will not buy this one on BluRay, although I am a big Film Noir fan. You bought two titles which are on my list, but I am not sure: "Defending your life" and "History is Made at night". I recommend "Now, Voyager", "The Palm Beach Story", "The Lady Eve", "In A Lonely Place", "The Wages Of Fear", "The Breaking Point", "Il Sorpasso" and "In Cold Blood" to you.
Thank you for your comment and recommendations!!! Of the ones you recommended I own Now, Voyager, The Wages of Fear, and In a Lonely Place and I’ve seen The Wages of Fear,and The Lady Eve! I don’t own Temple Drake but I know the cover! I loved History is Made at Night!!
Nice! Is this your biggest sale haul yet? I got: Being John Malkovich The Graduate The Princess Bride A brighter summer Day The Before Trilogy Broadcast News Smooth Talk Irma Vep Election Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Bowling for Columbine and Original Cast Album : Company (Pre Order)
Unfortunately, I felt the same way after Elevator to the Gallows. I loved Miles Davis' score for the film, but not much outside of that. So far I have picked up - The American Friend, Antichrist, The Parallax View, War of the Worlds, Pale Flower, The Color of Pomegranates, and Mirror. I had been putting off Antichrist and Pomegranates for the last few sales.
I think I'm all caught up on my Criterion Collection. I just picked up Memories of Murder and Fast Times at Ridgemont High before the sale earlier this year. I also cleared out a ton of Blus from my Collection that I realized I'd never watch again: Godzilla, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Lady Snowblood, Darjeeling Limited (I HATED this film!), The Lodger, Jabberwocky, The Awful Truth, His Girl Friday (I much prefer The Philadelphia Story: Cary Grant AND Jimmy Stewart! How can you go wrong?!), Two Lane Blacktop, Scanners, Videodrome, Slacker, The Hidden Fortress, Kwaidan, The Killers, I Married a Witch, Traffic, and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. I enjoyed seeing your pickups from the sale. Safety Last is fun! I want Harold Lloyd's film Hot Water to be remastered on Blu. I think it's a lot funnier than Safety Last. Glad to hear your plasma selling is going better than mine! The second time I sold plasma, they put the needle in wrong and couldn't switch to the other arm cause my veins are so small. They had me wait 15 mins, drink a Gatorade, and then let me leave. And they still paid me which was nice. I just haven't been back since. The 12 seconds of Forest Day track was just...chef's kiss! Great video as always, Nathan.
I love to hear you sold some many Criterions because I’m the same exact way! If I see one and don’t care for it, I sell it! In fact I just sold The Taste of Cherry and have Orpheus for sale on eBay right now! I sold Godzilla in the past too 🤣 I want to see all of Lloyds full length movies now, so I’ll probably get to hit water eventually! And I’m glad the 12 seconds landed 😂
I also don't know how to pronounced BORZAGE but it is Italian so it would have three syllables. As for Charles Boyer, it's BOY-YAY. I know that because I was around when he was around. As for Harold Lloyd, although he will probably always hold down the third position after Chaplin and Keaton, he was a great artist in his own right and an amazing acrobat. The glasses present an incongruity that he was looking to effect. I'm also a big fan of Louis Malle's first film, ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS. I see that you're flirting with buying it. Well, I would recommend getting it for two very good reasons: it has Jeanne Moreau who...well, she's Jeanne Moreau; and secondly, the score by Miles Davis. I could add that it's a joy to watch so I will. Don't sleep on that one, as they say.
Thank you so much for clarifying Charles’ last name pronunciation! I seem to mess up on these older stars 😂 when I first mentioned Charles Laughton I pronounced it “Laugh-ton”. And I’ve since checked out Elevator to the Gallows and I enjoyed it, I just found it a bit boring unfortunately 🥲
Also I have seen The Magnificent Ambersons, but that film was butchered by horrible studio interference which made the film feel disjointed and incomplete to me, though there's still some incredible performances and sequences in the film.
@@maplestreetmovies Sadly there's no directors cut of The Magnificent Ambersons at the moment as the deleted footage is sadly lost. A 2 hour 15 minute movie which Orson Welles believed would be his greatest work was botched down to 90 minute film with a reshot "happy" ending, which is sadly the only cut available. There are fans of the film though, as evidenced by its Criterion release, but personally, the film felt very incomplete because of the missing pieces. Definitely give the film a chance, as you might still find beauty within the cracks, but I'm not a fan personally.
Here was my haul BLIND BUYS: Do the Right Thing Defending Your Life Gilda The Big Chill All About Eve Deep Cover SEEN PURCHASES: Election Bringing Up Baby The Breakfast Club Two Lane Blacktop I also accidentally purchased a second copy of Charade. I took my wife with me and she picked The Virgin Suicides. We both hadn’t seen it but she read the book years ago.
Lol what a great haul! I've always wondered if I'll accidentally get a copy I already own one of these days. For some reason I always think I own The Kid from Chaplin, but I definitely don't haha
@@maplestreetmovies I am currently up to 55 titles and have had to become a lot more vigilant about remembering to log on and check my collection holding on the Criterion website.
Great video once again!! I thought I was finished, but I think I may have to grab 'Moonrise' with your description. Love the channel. I'm looking to have some Criterion folks on the channel at the end of the month. Let me know if you are interested in doing a live stream with us all. Let me know if you have any suggestions for others that should be included.
I would love to be part of it! And really anyone as a guest works for me! I know a few people who love criterions include Stephanie at Movie Chatter, Nathan Jones, and my buddy Nick from Nick Talks Flicks.
You deserve all the credit for me buying criterions… but possibly all the blame for spending so much money on them😂😂 so im a rookie and need to watch like pretty much every dang movie you got… im trash🤣🤣 awesome haul/hunt man!
What happened to that ugly, dorky looking guy who makes too many jokes about Salo? I missed him in this video. But, still great video and great pickups!
Haha, it's so cool seeing the Barnes and Nobles I visit frequently on your channel. Also really good picks. I loved Nightmare Alley.
maybe one of these days we'll run into each other! HAHA
I didn't buy anything, but I subscribed for 1 year's Criterion Channel😂
Probably the best purchase of any of us! 😂
Same. Its actually so great
@@spiritgamer234 yeah, considering all the great recommendations from people's hunting trips, most of them are on the channel
Very smart investment!

Along with those ... I got "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH" ... "THE PLAYER" ... "HIS GIRL FRIDAY" ... "PICKPOCKET" ... "THE HUMAN CONDITION" ... "YOUNG MR. LINCOLN" ... "THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER" ... "THE ASCENT" ... and "ARMY OF SHADOWS". Might go one more time.
Let me know what you think of Young Mr. Lincoln! I've always wondered about that!
Nice! Bringing Up Baby seems to be pretty popular this sale. I picked it up too!
Right?!
I'm obsessed with Frank Borzage's "Lucky Star". It was a lost film for a long time so it's not very well known but I love it
Good to know!! I’m gonna go find it 😈🕺
"Witness for the Prosecution" is a great film. Charles Laughton, consummate actor, was married to his "nurse" in the film, who also played the "Bride" in "Bride of Frankenstein".
Yes! It was so fun seeing them together!

Bringing Up Baby was my first pick up in this sale. So glad to have it in the collection. This release is outstanding.
Thanks so much for this video, I always love your Criterion videos.
Thank you so much for watching! Yes I highly recommend getting into Lloyd, he’s a blast! Very witty and clever movies! I agree Criterion needs more Jean Arthur!
Any disappointments over things that you wanted but were unavailable? For me it was "The Golden Age Of Television", which randomly sold out two days before the sale started. I also slept on the "When Horror Came To Sochiku" Eclipse set, but fortunately Amazon had it. Otherwise, I ordered: "The Princess Bride", "Hedwig And The Angry Inch", "Blue Velvet", "La Cage Aux Folles", "The Lodger", and "Salo". I've also been hitting up Ebay: "Insomnia", "Shock Corridor", "Lord Of The Flies", "Seven Samurai", "M", "Weekend" (2011), "The Honeymoon Killers", "Rashomon", and "The Magic Flute". Not bad for my first sale.
That’s great! This is so random but I wanted Ride the Pink Horse and neither one I went to had it in stock 🙄 but I’m not losing sleep over it! You got some great ones!
I got the human condition, mirror and the red shoes. I’m kind of tempted to buy more I really want to get magnificent Ambersons and war and peace
Elevator to the gallows is great I’ve only seen it once but some of the shots and moments have stuck with me.
Ohh nice! If you just get those 3, It’s still a great haul!
9:32 He voiced Marlin in Finding Nemo.
That's all I knew him for before getting into his directing work
@@maplestreetmovies Ah, okay. :)
Great haul, Nathan! I cannot speak highly enough of “Moonrise”! It is an essential film in the collection, in my opinion. I need to explore more of Borzage’s work. I believe you pronounce it Bore-Zaggy.
Wow I was way off 😂 thank you! I’m so excited to see it, if it’s anything like History is Made at Night or The Mortal Storm, I’m sure to love it!
I picked up The Kid Brother, The Complete Jacques Tati, Bringing Up Baby, and Notorious. The only one's that i have seen are Kid Brother (loved it, my new favorite Lloyd) and Bringing Up Baby (also loved it). I have yet to see the others but i am excited to watch Notorious.
Kid Brother is great.
Hey Nathan, I plan on going to the sale I plan on picking up movies such as: ace in the hole, some like it hot, royal tennenbaums, Rushmore, great dictator, five easy pieces, and the kid
Any recommendations
Those are some awesome titles right there! Getting both Billy Wilder films on the collection is a great move and then Chaplin and Wes Andersen are always safe bets. I have 2 videos where I talk about recommendations, you can check them out on this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLTIYTGBzhFn4qiQ-3XP19pRyGQIVFk8oZ.html
I bought Royal Tennenbaums Criterion at the thrift store for $2
@@hankworden3850 that is amazing!
I’ve been wanting to start collecting criterion for awhile now. What would u recommend getting for beginners? Also great video!
Thank you so much for watching!! See if this video helps ya 😁
th-cam.com/video/fLsPvRvtkLg/w-d-xo.html
@@maplestreetmovies Hey I ordered my first one before I saw your reply but I’ll definitely be checking out your recommendations still! But I decided to pick up Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb! A blind buy for me so I know nothing about it and I’m excited to watch it. It just got here today and I’ll be watching it tonight
@@Isaiahseverything what were your thoughts??
Great picks. I went the first weekend and picked up:
Mirror
Branded to Kill
Secret & Lies
Memories of Murder
Celine and Julie Go Boating
Flowers of Shanghai
World of Wong Kar Wai
Fun fact about the magnificent ambersons is that there is a longer cut, but rio showed it to teenagers and they didn’t understand and they cut it into the cut that you see on criterion. This fall tcm (Turner Classic Movies) will be distributing the hunt for this copy. Cause rko burned all the copy’s but orsen wells sent it to a Brazilian film director so the documentary to find the film will be released this fall!
That is so cool! I knew there was a longer cut, but I thought it was lost forever!
Does that boat in the thumbnail mean what I think it means?!
😎
You and I shop at the same B&N 😂 The Tempe marketplace has the best selection though.
Yooo that's awesome!! I actually totally agree! I hit up the Gilbert and Mesa ones for the location convenience.
@@maplestreetmovies Dana Park is close but their selection is so small. Great pick ups btw. Really dig the video 👍
@@brandonpelech4182 thanks! 😁
Nathan have you seen Orson Welles “The Stranger”? Orson Welles famously thinks it’s his worst film, but I think it’s incredible. Also, it’s one of Edward G. Robinson’s more subdued performances. Not it’s sure if it’s on Criterion though
I haven’t! But I really want to! It’s been on my watchlist for a minute
@@betterversionn is millcreek generally low quality?
@@betterversionn thanks for the advice!
Selling plasma to support your criterion habit? I respect it lol
Lol saving lives and discovering great movies 😂
I bought my first 4 criterion movies last week
Congrats!! Which ones?
SAFETY LAST is not just one of my favorite silents; it's one of my favorite films period. I also got around to watching my copy of THE FRESHMAN back in January. Cringe comedy at its silent film finest. I still need to see both THE KID BROTHER and SPEEDY, but I have both on my shelf.
MOONRISE was my first Borzage film and also one of the earliest I saw on the Criterion Channel, though I have yet to acquire the Blu-ray. Incredible film. I'm eager to acquire HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT. I know nothing about it. BTW, THE MORTAL STORM was just released by Warner Archive last November. I bought it in their final 4 for $44 sale a few months ago, and I'll just say it's my #5 favorite film I'm seen so far this year.
I just blind bought THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS from the B2G1 sale last month. Excited for more Welles.
I also saw MIRROR nearly 3 years ago, back when I was still trying to get a handle on who Tarkovsky was. I didn't really get it at the time, but I've been anxiously waiting for this release so I can both revisit it and complete my Blu-ray collection of Tarkovsky's narrative films. This was the last one I needed.
I've discovered I have much love for classic screwball comedy, and BRINGING UP BABY is no exception, yet another I watched back in the FilmStruck days. I won't be getting it at this time, but it's a certainty for the future.
I've bought far more than enough lately, so I expect my own haul to stay limited to the World of Wong Kar Wai set I grabbed pre-sale, MIRROR, which I was going to wait on but I was jealous of everybody and their brother getting it, and GATE OF HELL, since Amazon had it backordered to August, and it's one of the cheaper barebones titles.
Great comment! I’ve since seen Speedy and so I only need to watch The Kid Brother! I’m excited to see Moonrise. I also definitely own that blu ray of Mortal Storm 😂 I still want a criterion though haha!
No Deep Cover? That's a paddlin.
This was my first time year getting into criterion Blu-ray’s so I went all out. I got A Man Escaped, Brazil, Deep Cover, Election, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ghost Dog, House, Memories of Murder, Mirror, Mulholland Drive, Pan’s Labyrinth, Paths of Glory, Repo Man & Some Like it Hot. Then to top it off I got the complete Jacques Demy and Wong Kar Wai set. I’m content with not spending money on criterion till next 50% off sale…
I have not seen half of these so I just kinda bought them blindly . Very excited
Wow!! You got a great collection already! Excited for you!
I loved "The Cameraman" with Harold Lloyd. I wasn't a big fan of "The Kid Brother" though, but I also own "The Freshman" and "Safety Last". "Merrily we go to Hell" is so excellent. Do you own "The Story Of Temple Drake"? - this is an awesome pre-code movie! You will have so much fun watching "Elevator To The Gallows". I didn't like "Nightmare Alley" on DVD, so I will not buy this one on BluRay, although I am a big Film Noir fan. You bought two titles which are on my list, but I am not sure: "Defending your life" and "History is Made at night". I recommend "Now, Voyager", "The Palm Beach Story", "The Lady Eve", "In A Lonely Place", "The Wages Of Fear", "The Breaking Point", "Il Sorpasso" and "In Cold Blood" to you.
Thank you for your comment and recommendations!!! Of the ones you recommended I own Now, Voyager, The Wages of Fear, and In a Lonely Place and I’ve seen The Wages of Fear,and The Lady Eve! I don’t own Temple Drake but I know the cover! I loved History is Made at Night!!
@@maplestreetmovies Thanks Nathan, I have ordered "History is made at night" after watching it for 10min here in YT. Loved the beginning.
@@pantagello Just wait till you see the ending!
Nice! Is this your biggest sale haul yet?
I got:
Being John Malkovich
The Graduate
The Princess Bride
A brighter summer Day
The Before Trilogy
Broadcast News
Smooth Talk
Irma Vep
Election
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Bowling for Columbine
and Original Cast Album : Company (Pre Order)
Niiiiice! I think my last July haul was a little bigger BUT! I’m planning on getting 4 more so who knows? 😂
My ranking of the Harold Lloyd movies on the criterion collection:
1. Safety Last
2. Speedy
3. The Kid Brother
4. The Freshman
Wow the freshman has been my favorite so far 😂
Unfortunately, I felt the same way after Elevator to the Gallows. I loved Miles Davis' score for the film, but not much outside of that.
So far I have picked up - The American Friend, Antichrist, The Parallax View, War of the Worlds, Pale Flower, The Color of Pomegranates, and Mirror. I had been putting off Antichrist and Pomegranates for the last few sales.
I agree, the score to Elevator was great! I bought War of the Worlds during Amazon’s B2G1 sale but haven’t watched it yet 🥸
I think I'm all caught up on my Criterion Collection. I just picked up Memories of Murder and Fast Times at Ridgemont High before the sale earlier this year.
I also cleared out a ton of Blus from my Collection that I realized I'd never watch again: Godzilla, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Lady Snowblood, Darjeeling Limited (I HATED this film!), The Lodger, Jabberwocky, The Awful Truth, His Girl Friday (I much prefer The Philadelphia Story: Cary Grant AND Jimmy Stewart! How can you go wrong?!), Two Lane Blacktop, Scanners, Videodrome, Slacker, The Hidden Fortress, Kwaidan, The Killers, I Married a Witch, Traffic, and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.
I enjoyed seeing your pickups from the sale. Safety Last is fun! I want Harold Lloyd's film Hot Water to be remastered on Blu. I think it's a lot funnier than Safety Last.
Glad to hear your plasma selling is going better than mine! The second time I sold plasma, they put the needle in wrong and couldn't switch to the other arm cause my veins are so small. They had me wait 15 mins, drink a Gatorade, and then let me leave. And they still paid me which was nice. I just haven't been back since.
The 12 seconds of Forest Day track was just...chef's kiss! Great video as always, Nathan.
I love to hear you sold some many Criterions because I’m the same exact way! If I see one and don’t care for it, I sell it! In fact I just sold The Taste of Cherry and have Orpheus for sale on eBay right now! I sold Godzilla in the past too 🤣 I want to see all of Lloyds full length movies now, so I’ll probably get to hit water eventually! And I’m glad the 12 seconds landed 😂
Albert Brooks: see "Netowprk News".
The Sale is Worth It! I got El Norte, Slacker, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Blood Simple
Nice! I haven’t seen any of those 🥲
I also don't know how to pronounced BORZAGE but it is Italian so it would have three syllables. As for Charles Boyer, it's BOY-YAY. I know that because I was around when he was around. As for Harold Lloyd, although he will probably always hold down the third position after Chaplin and Keaton, he was a great artist in his own right and an amazing acrobat. The glasses present an incongruity that he was looking to effect.
I'm also a big fan of Louis Malle's first film, ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS. I see that you're flirting with buying it. Well, I would recommend getting it for two very good reasons: it has Jeanne Moreau who...well, she's Jeanne Moreau; and secondly, the score by Miles Davis. I could add that it's a joy to watch so I will. Don't sleep on that one, as they say.
Thank you so much for clarifying Charles’ last name pronunciation! I seem to mess up on these older stars 😂 when I first mentioned Charles Laughton I pronounced it “Laugh-ton”. And I’ve since checked out Elevator to the Gallows and I enjoyed it, I just found it a bit boring unfortunately 🥲
I got over 30+ films at the sale :)))
Mr. Moneybags
That is AMAZING! Did we buy any of the same titles?
Jesus Christ, lol. Rich boi
3:22
YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!
...
thank you :-)
ah yes. you talked about it in the live stream.
I knew what this time stamp would be before even clicking it 😂
I'll wear that as a badge of honor!
Also I have seen The Magnificent Ambersons, but that film was butchered by horrible studio interference which made the film feel disjointed and incomplete to me, though there's still some incredible performances and sequences in the film.
Is that the criterion edition?
@@maplestreetmovies Sadly there's no directors cut of The Magnificent Ambersons at the moment as the deleted footage is sadly lost. A 2 hour 15 minute movie which Orson Welles believed would be his greatest work was botched down to 90 minute film with a reshot "happy" ending, which is sadly the only cut available. There are fans of the film though, as evidenced by its Criterion release, but personally, the film felt very incomplete because of the missing pieces. Definitely give the film a chance, as you might still find beauty within the cracks, but I'm not a fan personally.
Here was my haul
BLIND BUYS:
Do the Right Thing
Defending Your Life
Gilda
The Big Chill
All About Eve
Deep Cover
SEEN PURCHASES:
Election
Bringing Up Baby
The Breakfast Club
Two Lane Blacktop
I also accidentally purchased a second copy of Charade. I took my wife with me and she picked The Virgin Suicides. We both hadn’t seen it but she read the book years ago.
Lol what a great haul! I've always wondered if I'll accidentally get a copy I already own one of these days. For some reason I always think I own The Kid from Chaplin, but I definitely don't haha
@@maplestreetmovies I am currently up to 55 titles and have had to become a lot more vigilant about remembering to log on and check my collection holding on the Criterion website.
@@danielgullotta Nice! I also made a letterboxd list of my collection so I can track what percentage of my collection I've seen!
Great video once again!! I thought I was finished, but I think I may have to grab 'Moonrise' with your description. Love the channel.
I'm looking to have some Criterion folks on the channel at the end of the month. Let me know if you are interested in doing a live stream with us all. Let me know if you have any suggestions for others that should be included.
I would love to be part of it! And really anyone as a guest works for me! I know a few people who love criterions include Stephanie at Movie Chatter, Nathan Jones, and my buddy Nick from Nick Talks Flicks.
@@maplestreetmovies I'm going to email you to get some plans together. Thanks, man!!
You deserve all the credit for me buying criterions… but possibly all the blame for spending so much money on them😂😂 so im a rookie and need to watch like pretty much every dang movie you got… im trash🤣🤣 awesome haul/hunt man!
You’re in for a ride man!! 😂
I love your new profile picture!
Thank you!!
I really recommend smooth talk
Thank you!!

What happened to that ugly, dorky looking guy who makes too many jokes about Salo? I missed him in this video. But, still great video and great pickups!
He’s off looking for a copy of Memories of a Murder 🤷♂️
@@maplestreetmovies haha true
