I just ordered the LOTR: EE BR box set as well. I figured that if I can spend $30 on Jaws, only one movie, I can surely blow $10 more on three movies. I'm only going to upgrade the really really good or visually stunning movies from DVD to BR.

Amazon is killing me right now. The Tim Burton 8-film set is $30. The Tarantino 8-film set is $70. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is $15, which I ordered.

I got the previous Deal of the Day they had for the Mel Brooks 9-film set. At this point I'm not gonna open any of these until after the Black Friday deals. Who knows what they'll lower and by how much.

So basically violence and sex? Isn't that what Bond is all about?

Criterion announced their February titles.

On The Waterfront and Sansho The Baliff for me.

yeah, looking forward to On the Waterfront too.

In the meantime I purchased the Criterions Howards End and Double Vie De Veronique (with the B&N discount)..

I just hoped Criterion would release The Age of Innocence too, but it's coming out from another company with unsure results. :(

I'll definitely pick up the Alien box set for $20, I never picked it up before because I've never seen any of the films and the price was too high to justify on a set full of unfamiliar films. But for $20? I'll bite.

Amazon has the Indy box for $50 right now...does anyone anticipate that being any cheaper in the not so distant future? I'm wondering if I should get it now or wait.

Mmmm ... too bad Criterion is region A only. One of my very favorite movies but it is not available on Blu-ray in this part of the world.

It'll probably get cheaper. I just bought Lord Of The Rings for $43 :P

The Indy box will be cheaper next year for sure. But this year? MAYBE there will be a sale on Black Friday in a store somewhere, and hopefully Amazon will price-match it. Who knows for sure, though!

Well the Alien BR box at Amazon is back up to $40 so there's xenomorph goo in my eyes for missing it. I could wait until Sunday, I suppose, or just a later date.

But TLOTR BR box is back up to $99 at Amazon. Holy smokes. How many people bought it just to return it at a brick and mortar store, and make money, even for in-store credit?

You don't watch Blurays in pc, right?

Because I live in Greece, and stll buy these Blurays, as with a region removal software, they play perfectly fine.

Amazon has posted their Black Friday deals week schedule!

Some good deals here, but not as good as last year's overall

There are two different times you can pick up the Brave blu ray for $9

Thanks for this. Amazon's been killing me and looks like it will continue. Good thing I got plenty of money for my Birthday, as when its all said and done Amazon's going to have it all.

Damn looks like Bond will be on sale during Black Friday. Can't imagine it much cheaper than it already is though. Maybe an extra $25-$30 off.

I'll be getting Tintin, Brave, Hunger Games, and Dishonored for PS3. A small haul but they've been giving out some great deals recently.

For anyone interested, here's a very short unofficial "review" on the "Blue Lagoon" Bluray release from Twilight Time by Bruce Kimmel:

"I also took a gander at the other Twilight Time release, The Blue Lagoon and it is spectacular. The movie is what it is, but this transfer is so beautiful and lush and the Basil Poledouris score sounds incredible. It’s so sharp, in fact, that you will see a lot more of Mr. Atkins and Miss Shields (body double for her) than you ever saw in the theater. Gorgeous-looking."

(for anyone who doesn't know, the Bluray features an isolated score track)

I bought the Alien Anthology. The book presentation would be worth it even at full price. I can't wait to pop in the first disc.

It's the best one. Blu-ray really shows how beautiful and creative (yet functional) Alien is. The aesthetic experience is even greater than the narrative. Do yourself a favor, watch it on a big plasma screen or with a decent beamer system.

Why do you say that? You mean as movies, or as Bluray presentations?

Because i've seen 3-4 of them (in DVD), and I enjoyed them a lot. They're classic..

5.99 for bejamin button is too much, a single dollar is too much for the piece of crap.

I wouldn't call any of her films classics except Some Like it Hot which I think of as a Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis films, Marylin is typically ehh.

I was gonna get Firefly but now that it'll be even cheaper I'll hold off.

Bond for $110, nice!

I know - $5 per film!

Anyone who bought the individual releases is crazy

no they are not, I don't want all the films, I just want a handful.

Marylin is typically ehh.

First Scarlett, now Marylin....

You don't like them buxom! ;)

unlike Marylin Scarlett can act, but Marylin is prettier.
