With the exception of Carlos, these Criterion discs are $21.49 each; Carlos is on sale for $26.99.
Deals expire at 12 AM PST/3 AM EST next Sunday, January 1st.
I went for 12 Angry Men (used up a partial gift cert. credit of $1.15 too) and The Killing. If you factor in my local sales tax, Amazon is about the same as the 50% off B & N sale pricing. A good deal. Already got Carlos from the last November 50% sale.
Woo! Hoo! I just won $100 on a PA lottery scratch-off I got for Xmas from my sister..."12 Angry Men", "The Killing" and "Kuroneko" are mine, great timing for a change.
i bought most of these during B&N last sale,at 19,99 each,and ill wait for the next sale now....however if amazon matches that price ill buy from them as i buy most my movies there,and their shipping & packaging is slightly better.
If you sign up for b&n coupons, have the club card, and have enough patience for the sales, criterion ownership doesn't become an issue. $40 for both fanny and alexander and carlos in November. I paid more for smurfs and kung fu panda 2 for my kiddo for Christmas.
Also members, if you go to B&N physical store you get the titles for $18. So when you buy 30 or so at a time it's worth going to the store if you are a member.
