This was my first Criterion Sale! So far I have only bought films that I love, and very much enjoy. I also only bought films that are specifically available on Criterion. Five were 4K, and two were Blu Ray. I skipped The Graduate, and Midnight Cowboy because they have normal releases. I also got The Qatsi Trilogy in used condition for $23 back in May/June. Wish they would release Cinema Paradiso!
I for sure plan on getting Bound, Dogfight, and To Die For. I was so excited when these were each announced! I was just thinking about rewatching Bound a couple weeks before the announcement! It seems to be a pretty popular title this sale, which is surprising to me because I had never heard anyone talk about it before. Dogfight is my favorite River Phoenix film! I think his best performance is My Own Private Idaho but Dogfight is my personal fav film he's in. And To Die For is crazy, kind of campy, and fun. Nicole Kidman is off the rails in it. There are definitely more releases I'm contemplating but I can't (or at least shouldn't) get much more! It's so easy to get carried away!
My Own Private Idaho was my first criterion I ever bought/learned of. The Amazon algorithm got my college ass, that’s also the first movie I ever saw River Phoenix in. If you haven’t seen Running on Empty his Oscar nominated performance you should as he’s great in it. Well I’ve already picked up a few more that I wasn’t expecting to, so imma have to make some tough decisions regarding what I can and can’t keep.
That's too bad, I always like talking to people who are also buying Criterions at the same time as me. It's always fun to see what they are buying and why.

Great haul! I was hoping to bump into you since we both hit the same location. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go until after 1pm.
