As you can see, the sale boasts a remarkable number of outstanding films.

Films in the collection feature distinctive original cover art, packaging worthy of display, and typically include fascinating bonus features not found in other editions of the same movie. While Criterion often emphasizes older, including black-and-white, films, contemporary titles are also regularly added to their esteemed catalog.

Godzilla Criterion Collection Films at 50% Off:

It`s rare for the impressive Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films, 1954-1975 to remain in stock when priced at $112.48 (originally $225), as it is currently. The Showa-Era Films compilation includes HD remasters of 15 Godzilla movies released between 1954 and 1975. This set is considered the definitive way to experience these classic films from the iconic monster`s golden age. It`s arguably one of Criterion`s most visually stunning releases, with the 8-disc Blu-ray collection accompanied by an exclusive hardcover book featuring commentary from film historians and full-color illustrations by talented artists.

For more Kaiju enjoyment, explore the Amazon deals on Criterion`s recent 4K Blu-ray editions of the original 1954 Godzilla movie and Godzilla vs. Biollante, which premiered in 1989 and remains one of the most intriguing entries in the long-running franchise. Criterion released the 4K remaster of the original last November and Godzilla vs. Biollante in March. The 1954 film is actually discounted by more than 50%, available for just $20. If the 4K editions sell out, standard Blu-ray versions of both the original and Godzilla vs. Biollante are also available.

The same dedication to quality applies to Criterion`s selection of Akira Kurosawa films. The legendary Japanese director`s samurai epics are consistently popular during these sales, and for good reason. Kurosawa`s expansive films are both consistently captivating and intellectually stimulating. Criterion recently released 4K remasters of two of its most sought-after Kurosawa titles: Seven Samurai and the Yojimbo / Sanjuro combo pack.

Aside from *The Lord of the Rings*, *The Shape of Water* is the only Best Picture winner in the fantasy genre, and del Toro also secured the Best Director award. Two other del Toro films have received 4K releases from Criterion: the bold stop-motion reimagining of Pinocchio and the director`s debut film Cronos.

Two Adam Sandler films are included in The Criterion Collection and boast superb 4K editions. These aren`t *Happy Gilmore* or *Billy Madison*, though the latter is getting a 4K release in July. Criterion is home to two of Sandler`s performances that Martin Scorsese would likely refer to as *cinema*: Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love. Both films showcased Sandler`s remarkable acting range, and Criterion`s 4K Blu-ray editions are exceptionally well-produced.

• Punch-Drunk Love (4K) — $25 ($50)

Several other Best Picture recipients are in stock on Amazon, including this year`s winner Anora and Parasite.
