Fuck it, I'm in for Green for Danger (wanted to see this for quite some time) and Equinox (looks like my type of thing) as well. So I came out with Equinox, Jigoku, Monsters/Madmen, and Green for Danger as long as this all holds up. Now I really need to stop buying things.

I've paged thru all of the 400+ Criterions at Amazon. The folllowing seem to be the ones that are priced atypically low:
An Angel At My Table $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)
Beastie Boys DVD Video Anthology $16.97 (reg $29.98, 44% off)
Border Radio $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)
Equinox $14.00 (reg $39,95, 65% off)
The Flowers of St Francis $10.80 (reg $29.95, 64% off)
Green For Danger $14.00 (reg $39.95, 65% off)
Jigoku $10.00 (reg $29.95, 67% off)
Monsters and Madmen Collection $28.80 (reg $79.95, 64% off)
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs $14.40 (reg $39.95, 64% off)
All of these titles have been previously mentioned - I did not find any new ones. The previously mentioned "dealio" for Beales of Grey Gardens ($14.99) is Amazon's regular price. A Canterbury Tale has reset back to it's regular $35.99 price.
It appears that Amazon's regular prices for their Criterions are $x.99, with box sets priced $x.95. All of the discounted titles in this thread end in prices other than $x.99 or $x.95. Something to file away for future refence, I suppose.

this is really tempting, as i was just looking at criterion.com yesterday and two of the movies i wanted to check out most were Green for Danger and Jigoku. however, i have to slow down on buying, especially blind buying. so, i'm torn.

I checked this morning and my order is already in the shipping soon phase. I went with free shipping. If it is a price mistake it looks like I may get my DVDs shipped before they can cancel the order. Thanks to the OP for posting the deal.

I just bought Green for Danger and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. I would've bought Jigoku as well but it wasn't at the right price for me - when viewing it on the site it said $10, but when I put it in my cart and started to check out it was at the higher price. I think I missed it by a matter of minutes.

I've really cut down on my buying but I had to get in on this - Green for Danger and the Naruse. Great deals! (Jigoku was gone by the time I checked in)

Got in on Monsters & Madmen, Green for Danger, Woman Ascends, and Equinox. Would have ordered others but the prices apparently went up. Thanks a bunch OP. 3 Criterions plus a Criterion boxset for 71.20 shipped is a great deal. Do not hesitate. Deal already gone on some titles.

I should have woken up earlier--I missed out on Jigoku, a wishlist title that I would have jumped on like a shot!
Stilll, getting 5 movies (Monsters and Madmen set plus Green for Danger) for $42.20 is still a great deal! Thanks OP!
Oy, my aching credit card!

We're sorry!

I went to my order history and it's there - Monsters and Madmen 28.80, Green For Danger 14.00. I had tried adding Jigoku and Canterbury Tales but the prices had already gone up, so I scrambled for the checkout - maybe just in time.

Wow, glad I didn't get Monsters and Madmen at Borders this week for $50. Good things come to those who wait.
Damn Equinox has already gone up. At least I got Monsters and Madmen, I hope.
