The Criterion Collection represents some of the most influential films ever made, and right now you can save 50% on some of our personal favorites at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These deals last through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, ending on Dec. 2, so you have plenty of time to expand your physical media collection.
Every film inducted into the Criterion Collection is honored with its own unique box illustration, making them excellent collector’s items for any cinephile. While the lion’s share of these deals are available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon has discounted many of the same titles as well. This sale includes many of our favorite films, including Trainspotting, Sound of Metal, The Godzilla Showa-Era Box Set, and The Great Escape, to name a few.
One caveat with the Criterion Collection catalog, however, is that not all of its films are available in 4K. While many have gotten a 4K restoration, some may only be available in 1080p Blu-ray or sub-HD DVD formats. If you’re looking for a specific format for your home theatre, just use the handy filter to sort with your preference.
