Every so often, DeepDiscountDVD.com has a sale where they give 20% off their already low prices. When this happens, it's the one time I splurge on DVDs. And...they're usually Criterions. When they have a sale, I stock up on DVDs I missed when they were released and I was in college. I get the ones to fill the gaps and get ever closer to completing the collection.

This last sale was no different. My order was a bit large, but well worth it as I got some great films that I had been meaning to purchase for awhile. Including; Mike Leigh's Naked, Samurai Rebellion, Saumrai Spy, & Kill!, and Lasse Hallström's My Life as a Dog. I also purchased a few (about 15) others and my collection is getting dangerously full.

Still missing: 183, 184, 186, 187, 188, 191, 194-198, 200-207, 213, 214, 215, 217, 218, 219, 223, 225, 227, 228, 247, 286, 290, 309, 311, and 314 and up (most of which aren't released yet). So it'll probably take two more big DeepDiscountDVD sales to get the collection full, but since I own every out of print Criterion DVD, I'm in no hurry. I'm a bit disappointed they're re-releasing some DVDs that went out of print, since I paid a premium for them, but it's all good since great movies will be available again from Criterion.

Now if only I could find my safe deposit box key so I could get at my most prized DVD...an authentic copy of Salo - probably the most sought after DVD because of its rarity. Yes...it's in my safe deposit box in the bank.
