So I went a little cuckoo-bananas with the B&N 50% off sale on The Criterion Collection these past couple of weeks (I bought almost 30 Blu-rays ). I only had a handful before (plus about 15 DVDs) but figured I'd start a thread (didn't find an existing one) to see who else has spent/blown their hard-earned money on these usually very expensive (and still not cheap now) but great films. My Collection: Blu-ray: 8 1/2 45 Years The 400 Blows Akira Kurosawa's Dreams The Apu Trilogy L'Argent An Autumn Afternoon Bicycle Thieves Blind Chance Blow Out Brazil Carlos Charade Days Of Heaven Dekalog Fanny & Alexander The Hidden Fortress Insomnia Kagemusha The Killing The Lady Vanishes Last Year At Marienbad A Man Escaped Mulholland Dr. Mystery Train Overlord The Qatsi Trilogy Revanche Solaris Stalker Three Colors Trilogy Umberto D. Wild Strawberries Yojimbo DVD: Amarcord Badlands Chasing Amy High And Low Ikiru The Last Temptation Of Christ Ran Rashomon Red Beard Seven Samurai The Seventh Seal The Third Man Throne Of Blood Tokyo Story Yi Yi I think that's all of them. I didn't repeat the DVDs that I replaced with Blu rays. So...what have you got?
Let's see what I can name from memory... Carnival of Souls Tokyo Story Brazil Peeping Tom Beauty And the Beast Alphaville The Third Man House Antichrist Orpheus Trilogy Tati box set Passion of Joan of Arc Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise Hard Day's Night Picnic at Hanging Rock David Copperfield? Or Great Expectations? That's all that comes to mind.

I don't have a lot, off the top of the head... I Know Where I'm Going (Pressberger) Pandora's Box (Pabst) Orpheus (Cocteau) Beauty & The Beast (Cocteau) Kagemusha (Kurosawa) The Wages Of Fear (Clouzot) Children Of Paradise Monterey Pop Festival Box Carnival Of Souls The Life Aquatic
I think the only ones I have that you don't are Third Man blu-ray, Chungking Express blu-ray, Unbearable Lightness of Being dvd, and Beastie Boys video anthology dvd.
Yes it is, as stated by wayneklein. Honestly that's the only one I truly regret buying. I bought it long ago so I didn't pay the ridiculous sums people want for it on ebay but I truly hated that movie. Maybe I need to give it another shot.
I'm trying not to update every DVD to Blu-ray...but who knows. I've updated 8 1/2, The 400 Blows, Kagemusha, The Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo, Three Colors Trilogy, and Brazil. I have The Third Man DVD (as mentioned) and I have Chunking Express on DVD too but it's not a Criterion disc.
12 Angry Men The Manchurian Candidate Brazil The Royal Tenenbaums Anatomy of a Murder The Hidden Fortress Heaven's Gate Off the top of my head, I think that's it.
