A long list of Criterion Collection Blu-rays are currently 50% off at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The deals will stick around until December 2, making this a great time opportunity to get some holiday shopping done. Along with individual films, preorders for the massive CC40 Collection box set is also eligible for the 50% price cut, letting you snag the massive collection for $400 (normally $800). The box set releases November 20 and includes 40 different films, a vibrant slipcase, and a runtime of close to 75 hours.
The long list of discounted Criterion Collection Blu-rays includes several 4K editions and even a handful of upcoming releases. For example, you can preorder Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water (4K) for $25 (was $50) ahead of its November 26 release or Seven Samurai (4K) for $30 (was $60), which launches November 12. Speaking of del Toro, the director’s version of Pinocchio (4K) is discounted to $25 (was $50). This one is also loaded with special features, including the Handcarved Cinema documentary, conversations with the cast and crew, and a featurette focusing on the rules of animation that helped bring Pinocchio to life.
Other notable deals include Pan’s Labyrinth for $40 (was $40), The Silence of the Lambs for $20 (was $40), and Parasite for $20 (was $40). Parasite earned a long list of accolades, and it became the first foreign language film to win the Oscar for Best Motion Picture. The dark comedy examines wealth inequality before taking a dramatic turn to become something much more sinister.
Here’s a look at some of our other favorite films on sale during the event. These discounts disappear on December 2, so cash in while you can.
