It feels like it’s been forever since Barnes & Noble ran its last 50% Off Criterion Collection sale. The retailer does this twice annually, in July and November. This year’s first sale starts tomorrow. What will you buy?
\n<\/p>\n
The past six months must seem so long because Criterion has considerably ramped up its Blu-ray production in that time. Since the last sale ended on November 21st, the studio has released no less than 38 new titles, including such essentials as Henri-Georges Clouzot’s ‘Diabolique<\/a>‘, Louis Malle’s ‘Au revoir les enfants<\/a>‘, David Cronenberg’s ‘Videodrome<\/a>‘, Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Great Dictator<\/a>‘, Ingmar Bergman’s ‘Smiles of a Summer Night<\/a>‘, Federico Fellini’s ‘Amarcord<\/a>‘, and the outstanding ‘America Lost and Found: The BBS Story<\/a>‘ box set. That’s of course in addition to all the titles released earlier.<\/p>\n The sale ends August 1st. If the same rules hold true as previous B&N sales, the discount will also apply to any pre-orders scheduled for release during the sale period. That would mean ‘Naked<\/a>‘, Jean Cocteau’s ‘Beauty and the Beast<\/a>‘, ‘The Music Room<\/a>‘, ‘High and Low<\/a>‘, ‘L\u00e9on Morin, Priest<\/a>‘, and ‘Life During Wartime<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n A member of the SlickDeals<\/em> forum offered up these coupon codes<\/a> that you may be able to stack onto online orders:<\/p>\n L7C8F9D<\/strong> \u2013 Exp. 7\/12, 15% Off one Item AAA members should be able to get an additional 10% discount (on top of the 50% off) by shopping through this link<\/a>. However, I don’t believe that you can stack the above coupons with the AAA discount.<\/p>\n Even at 50% off, I’m not going to have the budget to get everything I might like this time. I’m going to prioritize ‘The Great Dictator’, ‘Diabolique’, ‘High and Low’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Broadcast News<\/a>‘ and ‘Cronos<\/a>‘. How about you?<\/p>\n
