If I were to recommend a Criterion DVD to buy I think I might go with The Battle of Algiers.

I wouldn't mind picking up a few of these titles but I really wish that someone would offer a decently reduced price on the new "Complete Metropolis" from Kino.

Perhaps Kino will have a sale in December?

Really disappointed with the BN service. I ended up only receiving one item Do The Right Thing. I kept going back and forth with their customer service, they are finally refunding my money, but I wanted those dvds/blu-rays. Now they are back up in price.
