Yes, but maybe no.

just buy their old laserdisc releases on ebay instead

Don't know
Don't have any money to find out

>DVD's
>2012

>Ferris Wheel on Fire

Best album they ever put out.

>DVD
for fucks sake if you're gonna spend your money on criterion at least buy blurays

They have half-off sales every couple months, wait until then to buy some.

Pleb confirmed.

Just bought the Tiny Furniture Blu-Ray.

Worth it? Hmm, probably not. I made sure to check out all the bonus features, and even with them I felt like I was paying at least $15 extra for maybe $5 extra worth of content.

>>22617409
This.

>buying some shitty mumblecore turd from an idiot teenager with nothing to say or contribute to the artworld when the collection has works from bergman, tarkovsky, kurosawa and other masters
bravo lena!

No, but but Blu-rays are, I guess. You shouldn't buy one unless you really love the film though...

As a female TF felt like it was speaking directly to me. The sexuality was spot-on and social commentary/expectations about femininity was marvelous. If you didn't like it you probably just couldn't relate. Sorry.

Also I emailed her and told her how much I loved it and she got back to me within a week.

>>22617563
Are Blu-rays worth buying?

I mean they're more expensive than DVD's and I'm sure something even better will come out eventually anyways.

>>22617620
None of them are worth it. in 10 years they'll be worth nothing.

just buy this:

Tokyo Drifter
Videodrome

>>22617657
So I should wait ten years to buy them?

Just got Paris, Texas and Days of Heaven in the mail two days ago :)

Yeah. They make nice bookshelf holders tbh.

>Buying movies because of the company distributing them rather than buying movies because they're good.
Criterion releases some good stuff and some trash, just like everyone else.

>>22617911
this
op's an idiot if he cares more about a fashion brand than about the movies themselves
just buy what you wanna watch

>>22617911
Well obviously I'm not planning on buying the trash.

I want to buy the stuff I like from them such as some Kurosawa and Tarkovsky films.

>>22617956
what movies?
lesser known kurosawa movies have been available on bluray in japan for a while, if you know how to play pirated versions on your tv then pirate (or import if you got the cash) them instead of buying lesser dvds
same with tarkovsky, unless you're talking about solaris, criterion releases arent the best on the market currently

I've never regretted a Criterion DVD.

The only DVDs/BDs that I buy are Criterions or cable television seasons. Like I'll buy shows like Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire on BD because I care about those shows and the people who make them.

Everything else I pirate. Shows that I don't love, but like a decent amount (Community, for example), other movies, etc.

>>22618143

Actually, also Eureka's Masters of Cinema. I often get their BDs instead of Criterion if I think it looks better.

>>22618143
>only DVDs/BDs that I buy are Criterions
sheep
you're missing out on a world of great movies

>>22618179
He's a sheep for wanting to buy classic Criterion movies instead of recent hollywood trash?

>>22618365
because recent hollywood trash is the only alternative? think before you say something

>>22618143
>The only DVDs/BDs that I buy are Criterions
Talk about stupid. So if a movie doesn't get a Criterion release that means it's not good enough? As if Criterion somehow has first dibs and access to everything ever made and only if they pass on it, someone else can release it...

>>22618425
pleb mentality that creates hundreds of fake patricians everyday
ugh

>>22618179

I said the only ones that I buy. There's the device called the internet and places called cinemas and stores that allow you to rent DVDs.

I'm 24 and have watched 10 movies a week since I was 15. Chances are I've seen more of this wealth of cinema than you.

>>22618425
Maybe they don't buy every single movie ever and just like Critereon's packaging? Just because you don't buy it doesn't mean you can't watch it.

C'mon you fucking mongoloids, the average Criterion fanboy has plenty of Masters of Cinema and Kino in his collection as well.

This fucking "haha hipster brand following faggot" attitude is wearing thin. Criterion deserve the benefit of the doubt most of the time because they have an excellent track record. I'll gladly spill £18 on a Criterion film I've never seen if it sounds good

>>22618425

Jesus, fuck. Learn to read.

>>22618462

This is a thread about buying.

>>22618464
That's almost worse.

I can find regular old films in thrift stores for $1, I never find criterion releases anywhere though.

>>22618513

I buy Criterion and Masters of Cinema because they generally care about the film's quality. If the Criterion isn't great, I'll get the Masters of Cinema. Or else I probably just won't bother buying it.

I don't feel the need to buy everything. I watch a lot of films and I only re-watch a handful of films that I love. The alternative to buying some good quality DVDs/BDs is just pirating everything.

So, all due respect, I don't see what's wrong with that.

>buying Criterion DVD's
I, for one, don't feel like supporting a group of people who'd eat me with soy sauce if the price was right.

>>22618143

>The only DVDs/BDs that I buy are Criterions

Good quality stuff, I just would hate having a dvd collection that's all Criterion(save for Stalker, Troma and a few others) because of their near monopoly on those types of films.

TYPICAL CAPITALISTIC BOURGEOIS MONOPOLY ON ART TELLING YOU WHAT IS OKAY AND WHAT ISNT
OPEN YOUR EYES COMRADE ART BELONG TO THE PEOPLE NOT THE GREEDY COMPANY CRITERION
THINK FOR YOURSELF

Criterion goes through more work restoring classic films then any other company. How is that a bad thing?
