I'm getting this for Christmas!

I considered it but since it's about Criterion movie covers/art and they are still producing new ones, it's already out of date. I might grab it when it hits the bargain bin.

Shack

Sweet.

My unofficial estimate from the thread is that the most-purchased appears to be It Happened One Night, with Eraserhead a close second. Which is quite a pair!

^ I'd say La Dolce Vita is the runaway winner.

Solid Snake

I just got Monsieur Verdoux, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and Mr. Fox. I may be done for now... but I need more Kurosawa. lol. Rashomon, High and Low, Hidden Fortress, and Throne of Blood.

BambooLounge

Just printed out 10 30% Off coupons...received my $100 GC last night...now, I just need to draw a cool clerk this weekend.

It always WILL be unless they create a digital version of it. They been doing this since 1984, so I think 30 years of material fits quite nicely in this book.

RockyMtnBri

Amazon has it for about $65 right now.

I'm on the fence about using the 30% off coupon on it to get it for about $50 from BN.com. I guess it'll come down to whether or not I can get the box sets I want in-store this weekend. Otherwise, I'll need to use the one-time code on one of those.

The BFRIDAY14 coupon is live now FYI...

Hazel Motes

I'm a little out of the loop. Can you explain this coupon?

Paul_SD

no matter how much time I spend crunching numbers and trying to figure all the angles and permutations of what to get with which coupon and when, I inevitably screw up and realize I would have been better off if I'd just done things differently.

This is gonna take some thought...

Stop over-thinking it and just find some titles you want and a price you think is good enough and get them. I bought the Tati set about 10 days or so ago with a 15% off coupon and here we are with a 30% coupon in our hands. I'm not losing any sleep over it. In the end we are still getting these titles cheaper than we would anywhere else.

What is queering the deal is that I just bought a $120 book on Sunday using the snail mail, unique code, 20% coupon. I had to pull the trigger because I wasn't sure the price wouldn't go up over the next several days- but I essentially wasted a good coupon I could have used in store since generic 20% codes appeared the next day online.

The problem is I'll save more money (which is the point after all) if I use the online code to just re-order the book and return the first copy.
That leaves a store coupon to use- but the only store that has either movie I want is the one store that is a PITA to try to use a generic coupon with.

It just sucks that I'm wasting good and limited use coupons re-ordering the same thing- and I'm no closer to picking up those last two movies...

ordered The Life Aquatic for 18.71 with the 30% off code

Why So Blu?

Scooped up the Cassavates set for $47 shipped with that 30% coupon.

rexinnih

Thanks for the coupon! Just placed an online order for a couple of Criterions.

ntnon

I feel your pain.

There are two expensive books (75 Years of Marvel is one!) that I really want to get 30% off on, but... if I get them, it'd literally be ten Criterions I could no longer afford. And those come out to 60%+ off...

First world problems!

Why So Blu?

Yeah, I'm blessed that I have a relative that works at a nice bookstore that gets 50% off (their total order) coupons, so I will be getting that Criterion book in less than a month.

What day is this sale supposed to end?

dsa_shea

I believe it is December 1st.

Shagrath

I think I'm mostly done after today's purchases. There are a couple titles my nearest store didn't have, so I might go a little out of the way for those this weekend if I feel up to it.

Week 1


Week 2


Week 3

Paul_SD

Congratulations Shagrath! I read the post of your adventure today - That is quite the bargain haul of the season. No way in hell I could ever get away with that here, but if you can, with the managers blessing no less, more power to you.
I just hope you'll watch more than two of those before the next sale

Week 3 was a killer even with all those coupons. Had to be at least 700 bucks easily.

I count 56. That's.... something!
