Brandon Burke Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Third Man is part of the rare breed of Criterions that go for $40 despite being only one disc. That's just about the only reason I haven't bought it yet. BTW: Saw it on the big screen last summer and man did it look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Brandon, $28.73 at criteriondvd.com, plus free shipping.

Brandon Burke Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hadn't heard of that site until now. Too bad I didn't know about it when I bought that Suzuki the other day.... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Burke Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Casavetes box is only $89 on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) The Third Man is $25.97 at DVD Planet. They are cheaper, but no free shipping, so maybe it balances out. And I'm in California, so I also have tax at DVD Planet. Complete Monterey Pop Festival: $51.96 at DVD Planet; 56.97 at CriterionDVD. Cassavetes Box: 81.22 at DVD Planet; 89.98 at CriterionDVD Suzuki Youth of the Beast: 19.47 at DVD Planet; 22.23 at CriterionDVD Edited January 14, 2005 by Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Ptah Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi everyone, As I've been discovering classic foreign films over the past couple years, I've been purchasing Criterion Collection DVDs without ever having seen the films. Needless to say, I've rarely been disappointed. The next batch I'm eyeing, however, I've heard very little about, and was wondering if any of you could give me some advice on whether I should take the plunge without seeing them first. The films on the radar are: Stray Dog Eyes Without a Face Bande a Part (Band of Outsiders) Slacker Peeping Tom M The Wages of Fear The Vanishing Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Is "Slacker" the film about non-traditional people in Austin, Texas? I know that there are two films with that title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Looking forward to the new 2-disc Third Man. I don't care what anyone says, this is still one of my favorite films of all time (the British version, of course.) The Third Man is my favourite film of all time. I highly recommend a book about the film entitled "In Search of the Third Man" by Charles Drazen. Just watched one of the 3 Criterion versions of Mr. Arkadin. Am curious to compare it to the other 2. Also rewatched the Criterion version of Renoir's wonderful French Cancan. Both films had intros by Peter Bogdonovich who I then saw on the Sopranos Sunday night.

Actually, if I had to name a single favorite film, it would certainly be The Third Man. I just wanted to sound, you know, reasonable.

BruceH Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) The Criterion has landed. "Have you ever seen one of your victims?" "Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money? Or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man, free of income tax. It's the only way you can make any money nowadays."

ejp626 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I see that Criterion is re-issuing Monsoon Wedding: http://www.criterion.com/films/2364. No question that the bonus features are great, as ever. But this was out already and had a pretty good commentary by Mira Nair. Will the transfer be that much better? It isn't clear whether the Criterion commentary with Nair is recycled or a new one. Still, this is on the questionable side for me. I'll probably just rent the bonus features and decide how much I love them. This is one I will probably get (financial situation permitting), but it is a bit on the extensive side: http://www.criterion.com/boxsets/678 The AK100 box set celebrating Kurosawa's 100th anniversary has 5 unreleased films and 20 others. Box set includes: The Bad Sleep Well (1960), Dodes’ka-den (1970), Drunken Angel (1948), The Hidden Fortress (1958), High and Low (1963), I Live in Fear (1955), The Idiot (1951), Ikiru (1952), Kagemusha (1980), The Lower Depths (1957), Madadayo (1993), The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail (1945), The Most Beautiful (1944), No Regrets for Our Youth (1946), One Wonderful Sunday (1947), Rashomon (1951), Red Beard (1965), Sanjuro (1962), Sanshiro Sugata (1943), Sanshiro Sugata, Part II (1944), Scandal (1950), Seven Samurai (1954), Stray Dog (1949), Throne of Blood (1957), and Yojimbo (1961). I've seen many of these, but as it happens I only own Ikiru. Pre-order price of $320 at Criterion and $300 at Amazon (though it may go lower).
