Amazon has launched its official Black Friday sale for The Criterion Collection, offering a 50% discount on a wide array of classic films. This promotion, which began on November 6 and will continue until December 7, presents an opportunity for cinephiles to acquire high-quality physical media releases at a significantly reduced price.
The sale encompasses nearly the entire Criterion Collection, including renowned titles such as Citizen Kane and Dr. Strangelove, as well as newer additions like KPop Demon Hunters and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Film enthusiasts can also find collections featuring the works of David Lynch, including Inland Empire, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Dr., alongside comedies like The Princess Bride, Dazed and Confused, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Beyond individual film releases, the sale also includes curated box sets. Notable among these are the Wes Anderson Archive, which bundles 10 of the director's films, a Godzilla collection, and Bruce Lee's Greatest Hits.
Customers can choose between Blu-ray and 4K UHD formats for many of these titles. Given the popularity of such sales, early purchasing is recommended to ensure availability, as popular items are prone to selling out.
