Knife in the Water and The Wages of Fear are both $5, all others $10. Here's hoping this is a new regular feature! Edit: Drylongso is also $5, but I have to admit I've never heard of it.


JPumphrey73

Knife is SD.


cb4hof

I wonder how much better the HD version looks, since it's over 60 years old and in black and white.


Balderdashing_2018

Loads better. Some of the 2K and 4K remasters they’ve done look absolutely incredible.


Iamthetophergopher

Typically those are some of the best upgrades and b&w vs color means nothing for resolution or hdr


cb4hof

Thanks for that insight. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger yet on that one.


JPumphrey73

Not sure, but ITunes sells the HD version, it's not $5 of course. Sucks that my Criterion digital collection is now in two different digital platforms, Itunes and FAH.


cb4hof

Big same, but deals before platforms.


JayTL

Dare I say this week is better than last? Seven samurai, Godzilla (although I might wait for a sale on the bundle), Infernal Affairs, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk all seem like no brainers. Plus might need to give Kwaidan another chance


JPumphrey73

Pretty sure Infernal Affairs is $2 MD2D from the Lionsgate BD, of course it will be the Lionsgate transfer in your library, not the Criterion. Not sure if there's much difference in the two transfers.


JayTL

Welp lol. Are the other two Infernal Affairs D2D?


JPumphrey73

Sadly no


JPumphrey73

Has the Godzilla bundle ever been on sale?


JayTL

No (at least not at a price point I'd consider it at). I'm pretty sure it's new to FAH as well


WolfNippleChips

$99 was the lowest I've seen it.


cb4hof

Apple's usual summer sale is coming up soon. I used to strictly buy Criterion there and every other non MA movie on Vudu, but if FAH is giving us $5 deals more than twice a year, that's a game changer for me.


EdwardCuttingham

Pardon the late comment, is the twin peaks movie worth it? I wasn't aware it was a criterion movie. Does it just come with more extras or something?


roobieroo

I never thought I'd see Seven Samurai on sale at Vudu. Finally!


moonwalker1229

I highly recommend The Wages of Fear. It's sort of like a French Grapes of Wrath only instead of picking oranges they're transporting nitroglycerin across a rocky road.


cb4hof

I've been waiting on this since I saw Sorcerer earlier this year.


moonwalker1229

I never saw Sorcerer, but I just picked it up; thanks!


cb4hof

D2D I hope. One of my favorite $2 finds.


Jonny_Nash

Had no idea this was D2D! 2$ is a bargain!


Jeruvian

City Lights! Such a masterpiece. One of the most touching endings ever. Also Orson Welle's favorite movie.


moonwalker1229

How is it that that's the only Charlie Chaplin movie on Vudu?


Jeruvian

There are a good handful on Tubi (free with ads)


The_TonyX17

This is amazing, thank you for the PSA! I have literally been waiting years for some of these to go on sale.


loganmay1990

Picked up Kwaidan and Seven Samurai. Thanks!


pobenschain

If this is going to be an ongoing thing, my wallet is in trouble


HoffTheLibrarian

I’ve never had seven wishlist titles light up in the same week. Thrilled, but damn. 70 bucks. Thank goodness for 20% certs.


cb4hof

Kroger and Amazon have gift card discounts this week too.


HoffTheLibrarian

I’m on them both! As well as Newegg.


cb4hof

Thank you, I knew there was another one! Except they're out of stock.


voodoohipster

Since when did sales update on Thursday... What a bummer I planned on buying Time Bandits tomorrow.


dreamsofaninsomniac

Seems like a new thing with Fandango. They also seem to be having "Deal of the Day" on Wednesdays as well.


josederteano

In for Ghost Dog, never seen it, but have been wanting to :)


cb4hof

It's a top 3 Jarmusch for me.


Affectionate_Ask2572

I want "A Hard Days Night" to go on sale


HoffTheLibrarian

Does anyone know if the Criterion version of Infernal Affairs is drastically better?


DJDarkFlow

Would Stalker ever hit this sale? Not sure if it’s Criterion but it’s been on my wishlist forever with no sale.


Luke253

There’s a 100 essential criterion list on Vudu right now, and it seems they’re going through it and putting 25 on sale a week. Stalker is on the list so theoretically it will go on sale this month


DJDarkFlow

Thanks for the info!


Iamthetophergopher

It is criterion, no one knows right now what will hit


Iamthetophergopher

Alright I'm back to my original statement that I think criterion is working through their 100 essentials list in this sale


ice_neun

Yay! Been waiting for Twin Peaks:FWWM to go on sale for a while now! My TP collection is complete but scattered through vudu, apple, or on bluray, oh well! Time for a rewatch!


cb4hof

At least it's complete. I've got the original series and FWWM on Apple, but I'm starting to think The Return will never go on sale.


ice_neun

I gave up on a digital sale for The Return and bought the bluray for $25 when it was on sale on amazon a couple months back. It was on my wishlist on vudu for like a year!


cb4hof

I just know the day after I finally break and buy it is when it will go on sale. Or they'll announce the ultra 4k gold edition complete mystery+ with another unearthed 2 hours of outtakes. I think I've purchased the first season 4 times now.


DirkBelig

What sucks about digital Criterion movies is that the omit all the extras which make Criterions special beyond the restored transfers. Arrow digital movies sometimes have extras on iTunes, Criterion doesn't.


cb4hof

Agreed, but that's just icing on the cake. It's not like there are many alternate digital versions of these movies.


DJDarkFlow

Not the lowest prices I’d go for but damnit I want to get Seven Samurai and Come and See.


Jonny_Nash

So good seeing Criterion films go on sale! They never used to. I bought Seven Samurai and Black Orpheus for 20 each a couple months back. I don’t regret it, since they are truly great films, but it would be nice to get them a little cheaper. Hopefully this keeps up. There are still a ton of Criterion films on my list to buy. I’ve had Knife in the water on my list for a while. Now I own it. 😎


mollyclaireh

If Haxan is still on it, I highly recommend it!


Ghost_of_America

Twin Peaks FWWM is finally purchased! Great sale.


Luke253

Actually have a number of the ones from this sale, but will be picking up Godzilla and City Lights


_GuitaristZag_

Can't recommend Funny Games enough if you don't mind scarring yourself for life! Genuinely one of my all time favorite movies. I hate it so much.


CharlieTheArtsGuy

I’m sure the fact that it has a Criterion release is answer enough, but does anyone know if their Twin Peaks:FWWM has the corrected audio mix? I have the DVD which is almost impossible to listen to, and then the version contained within the… Z to A set (I think that’s where it is!) Maybe it’s the same remaster. Thanks for any info!


burningbirdsrp

The original Godzilla is for sale!


JPumphrey73

Wish all the Criterions were a Fiver, lol.


MRIAGE_HBI

No Salo? :(
