Over the past couple of years, the twice-annual 50% off Criterion Sale at Barnes & Noble has become a full-on of cinephilic event. It's like a gift from Odin himself: the perfect opportunity to pick up any discs or box-sets that were outside your price range as well as a chance to test drive any titles that you might be curious about.
Not sure what to pick up? With over 600 titles, picking simply one or two can be pretty intimidating. Thankfully we here at This Cinematic Life have come to the rescue with some personal Top-5s to help refine your quest. Happy shopping!

I am totally torn between Beauty and the Beast and Pandora's Box. At that price I should probably buy both, yes? :)
