I hadn't taken part in the flash sale for a couple years (and I skipped the last B&N sale), so I went a little big on this one. Ordered:

  • The Lady Vanishes (1938)
  • Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)
  • His Girl Friday (1940)
  • Some Like It Hot (1959)
  • Fail Safe (1964)

I spent too much money this month, so I limited myself to under $100 US. Came in 15¢ under! Haha

I went all noir (ish) this time:

  • Gilda
  • The Naked City
  • Nightmare Alley
  • Sweet Smell of Success
  • They Live by Night

I didn't know they released Nightmare Alley. That pairs nicely with Freaks for a Carny double feature.

I was initially interested until I saw the prices. Those sale prices seem like MSRP prices to me because it's been so long since I bought retail disks.

Y'all know you can put em on an hdd for free right?

A lot of work goes into acquiring the rights to these films, restoring them, and making them available to a relatively small audience. If you can't afford it, they have a streaming channel that's £9 / $11 monthly and really good.

That's fair, thanks for shedding light :)
