Blu-ray


I just want Head on blu-ray, but it only comes in a collection. How can I get it seperate?

The collection really isn't that bad, as the other films (with the exception of a Safe Place) are excellent. Barnes and Noble often do a a 50% off Criterion sale in July, so the set drops to 50 bucks, and you can use coupons on the sale price to bring it down around 40 bucks. 40 bucks for 7 Criterion films on Blu-ray isn't really that expensive. Head is definitely my favourite film out of the set, but Five Easy Pieces and King of Marvin Gardens are also excellent. The Last Picture Show is good, Easy Rider is ok, while Drive, He Said is an interesting curio. A Safe Place is the only "bad" film in the set.

If you really only want the Monkees movie, you could always try Blu-ray.com's trading forum and/or eBay, for those silly people who only want Easy Rider and/or The Last Picture show out of the set. I honestly can't imagine breaking up the set, even if I do tend to watch Head the most. :D

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I bought the set on Amazon for 70.00, took out Head, and sold the set without Head on ebay as 'new, but missing one movie' for 50.00.

It was like paying 20.00 for Head solo (a fair price, I think!)

Didn't even realize this was available on blu-ray from Criterion!

This collection is rather expensive. Would rather wait until some of these films (like this feature and THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) are available separately (was never crazy anyhow about EASY RIDER).

I like 5 easy pieces / Easy Rider/ the Last Picture Show. I haven't seen the other ones. I really just want Head though.

I just checked it out and it's the best looking print I've ever seen of HEAD!
