Collectors: Some Criterions going OOP
For about 99% of us, the Criterion Collection is the prestigious DVD and now Blu-ray label out there. From arthouse, to foreign, to some mainstream fare, Criterion continues to pump out quality over quantity, but recently from their near 500 titles in their library, some of their discs are going out-of-print (OOP). Most of them are titles that recently Lionsgate and Studio Canal have picked up, like with Ran, to be released on Blu-ray.
Here’s the list of the titles that are going OOP, so grab them while you can. Also, on Criterion’s site they are offer them $5 less than the normal price.
