    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 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.
