Lots of good choices here. I grabbed For All Mankind, Modern Times ($10), Paris, Texas, Speedy ($10), Vampyr ($10), Speedy ($10), and The Circus ($10). I already own some of these on blu, but I love the convenience of streaming.

I'm looking at some others as well, and may grab the 39 Steps and Carnival of Souls later. And probably some more, since Criterion doesn't seem to have digital sales too frequently.

It looks like none of these include any extras which is almost 50% of the reason why you buy Criterion.

Makes sense, buy the actual media so there's no chance of a license revoke.
Disc rot is also a possibility.

Quote from gamingdroid :
You're unlikely to get your money back if they revoke it. They are likely legally allowed by your acceptance of their terms of service to revoke it.

Examples of that can be if they loose the right/license to continue to stream it, or if they go out of business.
There's a "too big to fail" theory that if one of the these companies goes out of business, the others will swoop in to protect license-holders. Failing to do so would crater confidence in the model and torpedo sales, leading to further shutdowns. We'll never know until it happens.

Quote from g10ny :

It's extremely unlikely. Aside from the WB titles (that were poorly manufactured) there's little evidence that any properly stored discs from the earliest days of DVD are breaking down. And anyone who is championing physical media should be taking reasonable care of their libraries.

I remember streaming many of these on Hulu years before Criterion had its own platform. Now most of them are available on Max and Kanopy (free) if you were curious about a title and want to watch it before buying a FaH streaming license.

Now that you mentioned Kanopy, it's only available where libraries can afford it. Please support your library.

For you ardent cinephiles on here, I'd be grateful for your top-10 or Mt. Rushmore of movies here with the full understanding that such things are very subjective. Thus far there seems to be a lot of love for Red Shoes and Paris, Texas. It is a shame if none include bonus features as I generally like these for deep/complex movies.

These $35 director bundles are tempting. But VUDU limiting the bundles to HDX is a crap shoot as always. I guess I'll wait another 10 years when they'll finally all be available in 4K UHD. I'd buy now if they were priced at $25 in case anybody from the company is reading.

They've added some new ones. I saw Twin Peaks, the Others, Eating Raoul, the Brood, and White.

The Jarmusch bundle doesn't include any movies that currently have a 4k version, so i went with that. Huge savings over the sale price of the movies. Imagine if they were all regular price.

Also an FYI:
Jean De Floretta & Manon of the Spring are available in 4k for $5, and they are companion movies, but there is a bundle in this deal that includes the 2 movies but only in HDX quality and for $15.
I highly recommend picking up the 2 4k movies for $10.
