I recently bought the Alfred Hitchcock five film essential collection limited edition BD box set since I can't afford the full fifteen film set. It included Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest, Psycho & The Birds. Since I already have the bluray DigiBook release of North By Northwest I would have preferred Shadow of a Doubt instead in the set, but really there's nothing to complain about. It's one heck of a set.
The chicken's blurays so far excluding the previously mentioned Hitchcock films:
CRITERION COLLECTION: Black Narcissus; Brazil; Days of Heaven; For All Mankind; Kagemusha; The Magician; The Night of the Hunter; The Phantom Carriage; Playtime; Rashomon; Red Desert; The Red Shoes; Sanjuro; Seven Samurai; The Seventh Seal; Solaris; Stagecoach; Still Walking; Summer With Monika; The Thin Red Line; Walkabout; Yojimbo.
...And the rest: 12 Monkeys; 2001: A Space Odyssey; 2010: The Year We Make Contact (It was really cheap when our Blockbusters went kaput. And since I do love Arthur C. Clarke stories...); The Adventures of Baron Munchausen; The African Queen; Alien; Barry Lyndon; Blade Runner; The Bridge on the River Kwai; Casablanca; Citizen Kane; A Clockwork Orange; Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Oops, I let a Spielberg film slip in. It was $5 at Target, what can I say?); Contact; The Dark Crystal; Dr. Strangelove; Eyes Wide Shut (From the same Blockbusters-go-kaput sale.); For a Few Dollars More; Forbidden Planet; Fort Apache; Full Metal Jacket; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Hang 'Em High; Hondo; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone & Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Bought because a female woman person told me too.); How the West Was Won; Buster Keaton The Short Films Collection: 1920-1923; Lawrence of Arabia; Metropolis; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; Monty Python's Life of Brian; The Neverending Story (The same female woman person...); The New World; Notorious; Once Upon a Time in the West; The Outlaw Josie Wales; Planet of the Apes (Original version); The Sacrifice; The Searchers; The Shining; Strangers on a Train; Superman The Movie; Time Bandits; The Tree of Life; Unforgiven.

I just got Walking Dead season two (one of the, oh, 25 finest moments in television, that), a parliament funkadelic concert from 1976, Supernova (a james spader sci-fi flick from 2000 or thereabouts; very bad but sorta weirdly interesting, and it cost like six bucks), the Swing Parade Rifftrax, and a Blu-Ray cut of the 1981 Friday the 13th Part 2, which is the only movie in that entire series (with the possible exception of the very first movie) that's worth a damn.

I bought Criterion's massive, new Zatoichi set during the B&N sale.
It's the best thing ever.

There's a disturbing amount of good taste going on in this thread. We're MST3k fans! you're supposed to be buying stuff like Ernest Goes to Jail and Baby's Day Out. What the hell, yo?

I'm waiting on a Blu-Ray release from Criterion. I feel that if I buy their DVD a Blu-Ray will be announced the next day. Thief of Bagdad is one of my all-time favorites, just below Adventures of Robin Hood as my favorite adventure film of all time.

I know how you feel, I was sort of torn about getting that, Night and the City, and F for Fake, because of their potential for a blu-ray release.

I friend of mine went to the Oahu Barnes & Noble and bought two Hitchcock films for me on blu-ray: Shadow of a Doubt and the 1955 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much. I had forgotten about the B&N Criterion sale. I would have had her look for The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp on BD or something.
So I've added to the good taste going on. Sorry.

I'll bring the good taste down to a crashing halt. I just bought the 1959 Mexican Santa Claus at Sam's Club, and not just because it actually has bonus features. This movie traumatized me in a theater back in the mid-60s when I was very young so I thought I'd give the uncut version another shot at horrifying me. Plus I have the uncut Santa Claus Conquers the Martians which I have watched back-to-back with the episode at Christmastime before, so now I can do the same with this one. Haven't done it yet, though.
To risk upping the good taste again I also just got The King's Speech. Loved it.

When Criterion does their usual Valentine's Day 50% off sale the blu-ray of it will be on the top of my wish list. I can't wait for the Criterion BD releases for "I Know Where I'm Going," "The Tales of Hoffman" and " A Canterbury Tale." And hopefully Sony will release "A Matter of Life and Death" on BD soon. The DVD release of it actually looked really nice.

I honestly think my obsession with this Zatoichi set has postponed my usual Christmas celebrations. I'm usually knee-deep in stuff by this point: reading Dickens, decorating, ect. but it's pretty much been all Zatoichi for me since the end of last month.
Maybe Zatoichi will replace Santa as the yuletide figure. Blind Japanese guy, fightin' bad guys... 'tis the season!

I must say that I'm really damned happy with this purchase. The epic comedy trilogy event of the decade. And if you think I'm talking about the Hangover, I refuse to speak to you. Also picked up The Wolverine's extended edition while I was at it. Despite 13 extra minutes, other than a few more f-bombs and a nice gore shot at the end, I didn't notice much different about it.
