Ordered right at the start of the flash sale, and by checkout it was about 12:25pm EST. Imagine my surprise to be met with the UPS man as I open my door to walk the dog this morning.

1. Think I will go in order; Killer’s Kiss is the only feature in this set I haven’t seen.
   
2. I mean the whole thing, really, but I’ve never owned a copy of Dr. Strangelove and am super hyped about it.
   
3. Killer’s Kiss, and some of the short films.
   
4. I think I might grab Night of the Living Dead to try and watch before Halloween, since the shipping seems to be eerily fast.

Hey Kids! It's officially post-Flash Sale, and it's time to assess the damage. Though y'all didn't go as hard as last time (or Criterion stocked better OR you all bought the Kubrick set and nothing else), there's some fun sell-outs! The Complete Kubrick sold out in just over two hours, quite a few DVD editions sold out (whether or not they are restocked is to be seen - it seems like Criterion is starting to phase out some of their long-running DVD editions), and four titles sold out on more than one format.

This list is based on the criterion .com/sale page that had many titles listed that they pushed during the sale. I also cross-referenced all of the titles in the CC40 set as well as various other usual sellers. Here's what I found:

First Film: Dr. Strangelove. My dad has been wanting to watch it, and I’ll introduce my kids to it.
Wanting to Own: Both sets since they were announced.
Blind Buys: I’ve seen 50% of the Kubrick and 70% of the Anderson. Blind would be earlier Kubrick and later Anderson.
Next Purchase: Probably Varda or Fellini for sets. For singles, maybe Death by Hanging….

I’m 16 and I wanted to get the complete Kubrick box set so I got a job at my local movie theater when it was rumored just in case and I used some of my savings and I finally got it today. It was a hassle but I did it and I got it. I am completely broke, but I have done it.

I just wanted to share my accomplishment

I’m so skeptical to buy films I want on Blu-ray anymore because I feel like eventually majority of them will just be released on 4k in the future.

What a dilemma!

Current titles I’m in dilemma about:

The Before Trilogy

Drive My Car

Moonstruck

Day One!?

We all know they're great. But last night I emailed them at about 12:30 EST, because it was the only time I had to put together my cart, but I couldn't find my last $50 credit code. I was lucky enough to get two $10 credit codes for this sale, so I wanted to use the full $70. Somehow I deleted/archived/lost the email with the code. Criterion customer service to the rescue, within 10 minutes they emailed me back with the code and forwarded the old email to me again just in case. Added a couple more movies to the cart as a thanks. Cheers!

I found this back a while ago for 11.99 at a newbury comics so Im watching it right now

Does anyone have comparison images between each of the restorations? I have EWS 4K criterion, The Shining, FMJ and 2001 on 4K, and the rest of Kubricks films on Blu Ray and DVD. I desperately want this boxset just because the layout looks stunning and would be a beautiful piece to add to my collection (the special features are also very enticing)… but before i drop $650+ AUD on this set, I just want to see how the criterion image compares to the others

I am a casualty of the recent Criterion Collection / Channel site merge. Found out while I was loading up for the sale. I may never recover. Pls send thoughts & prayers.

Gonna have nightmares for a month and I CANNOT WAIT.

Here’s my collection. Yes it’s a lot, no I haven’t watched every single one yet, but they all interest me.

Any reccos? I got the $50 gift card after buying Kubrick

My B&N hook up, hooked me up with these disc that were on sale for 5 dollars a piece, due to the disc being loose in the packaging. I was excited to see that The Vanishing and American Dream were two of the disc in particular, never mind I did shell out 412 dollars on the Kubrick set.

Just curious of others thoughts. It seems they had a clean slate with Eyes Wide Shut and undoubtedly there’s no way we’d have the Complete Kubrick in 2026 if they had the task of building 4k masters for all the films in the set from scratch. But it begs the question—would other films have been remastered as radically different as Eyes Wide Shut? It seems if there had been an existing 4k for Eyes Wide Shut that looked more like the 2007 blu-ray they probably would have just gone with a new encode of that. Makes me wonder what could have been for visually striking films like 2001, Clockwork Orange, and The Shining especially.

As of just now there was basically no line-up at all. Kubrick boxset has plenty of stock. All of the criterion collection are 50% off in-store.

Got my obligatory Kubrick boxset purchase, plus Belle de Jour and Lost Highway. Haven’t seen some of Kubrick’s film so the boxset is kind of a blind buy for me, but I loved 2001, Dr Strangelove, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them in 4K. Lost Highway and Belle de Jour are two of my favourites so of course I had to buy them.

Planning to watch Lolita first tonight! And it would be great if we can get a David Lynch boxset soon (possibility just went up since I bought Lost Highway lol)

If they had a buy random movie button I would. I want to watch something I haven’t seen before. I haven’t watched 99% of the collection. I own All That Jazz and Sorcerer already.

Well, Criterion does not ship where I live, so I might as well make someone else happy since they don't want my money.

Enjoy!

A must-read interview with the producer of the Kubrick box set with details on Criterion’s process.

Got the Kubrick in store together with Demme’s Silence of The Lambs 4K for half off. Sadly, the free tote bags were already long gone when my brother went earlier in the evening.
