The Criterion Collection is wrapping up its bi-annual 50% Off DVD, Blu-rays, and 4K UHD at Barnes & Noble sale (movies can be purchased online | Amazon price-matched in most cases). The sale ends on Friday, July 28th. If you’ve picked up a few movies, still plan on making a last-minute purchase, or have never bought anything from the Criterion Collection before, I will drop some suggestions below. As always, if you want to purchase something on Blu-ray or 4K UHD make sure you have the right equipment to play those discs.
