Finding that movie or show you love on streaming is getting harder and harder. Every major streaming platform is in constant flux; adding and removing movies and shows almost daily. When contracts expire movies often jump from one streamer to another without warning. The one way to ensure access to your facorite film or series, especially if it’s more than ten years old, is to buy it on physical media. Does that mean we should all collect thousands of movies and TV shows? Absolutely not, but if you have a list of favorites it’s definitely worth the storage space and money to own them on physical media.
Twice every year, Barnes & Noble hosts a 50% off Criterion Collection sale that fans ecstatically await. The sale happens in July and November. For the uninformed, the Criterion Collection is a top-tier boutique studio bringing films from every era to 4k UHD, Blu-Ray, and DVD. The Criterion Collection presents movies in the best possible audio and video quality and adds in supplemental materials such as feature length audio commentaries, interviews, behind the scenes footage, and booklets.
The sale runs through the end of the month in-store and online. If you can’t find a particular film you are looking for in the store or on the website, Amazon often offers price matches.
