movie must sees
the 65 movies you should buy from the criterion collection sale right now!
I'm not a big movie watcher--I can barely sit through a movie in theaters or at home without taking frequent snack breaks, engaging in some nervous twitching, and maybe even taking a nap. But if there are any films that can capture my attention and keep me planted in my seat, it's the films included in the Criterion Collection.
Encompassong almost 100 years, the films selected as part of this group include everything from comedies like This is Spinal Tap, to intense dramas like The Thin Red Line, to all of Wes Anderson's films. And the best part? They're all on sale right now! Yep, that's right. The Criterion Collection is having a flash sale of DVDs and BluRay disks until 12 PM tomorrow, February 26, so check out our favorites from their selection (all 65 of them!) and then get shopping!
