Should still be an interesting viewing, then.  With the 40% discount I might as well give them a shot.

There's always that "4 masterpieces boxes" set too or the one with "Anna/Shame/Persona, etc" too.

If individual DVDs are on sale too, I'd grab Autumn Sonata and Scenes from a Marriage ahead of any of those boxes if I were you.

Oh, all the cds and dvds are at 40% clearance, George.  Have been buying lots and lots of everything I can think of! :D

Saw Scenes there & was planning on buying that next time. Didn't see Autumn Sonata, but have already watched that one recently thanks to a friend and enjoyed it immensly.  Hmm.....that 4 masterpieces sounds enticing, but I probably already have some of the dvds in that package.

Already have two of those films (Wild Strawberries & Seventh Seal).   :(

I think I'll just focus on the early set with Scenes from a Marriage.   ;)

Scenes from a Marriage is long, but man is it incredible.

Yeah, there's two versions, I hear: the shorter theatrical cut and then the version for Swedish tv.  Both are on the Criterion dvds, right?
Regardless, I look foward to seeing at least one!  ;D

I didn't purchase it, but hearing Susan Boyle sing "I Dreamed a Dream" on BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT inspired me to watch the entire LES MISERABLES 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT on You Tube yesterday. Talk about a tear-jerker.

Man I love 60's songs about cars.

I have these two also, Russell:





Kind of started to make this a side collection.  A lot of fun digging through bins looking for them.  I am not really much a car guy.  Heck, I drive a '93 Suzuki Sidekick with oxidized paint.  But my dad always read hot-rod magazines, so fun to to grab them on that account alone.
