The Criterion Collection's 40-Film Box Set Costs More Than The PS5 You Watch Blu-Rays On
The Criterion Collection is responsible for restoring and preserving a bunch of classic and contemporary movies over the past four decades. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Criterion is releasing a 40-film box set dubbed CC40 on November 19. This mammoth collection contains 49 discs, 40 films, hundreds of hours of special features, and a 216-page retrospective book, all stored in a premium clouthbound slipcase.
CC40 has a list price of $800 (ouch indeed), but you can preorder the set for $560 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. That's a whopping 30% discount--Criterion itself has an early-bird deal of $640--but yes, it still sounds expensive. But if you're interested in watching and owning a good portion of the included films, you're paying $14 per movie--and that is a great price for a Criterion Collection Blu-ray.

Aside from 40 digitally restored films, the collection includes exclusive packaging, a clothbound slipcase, and a 216-page book with essays from critics, authors, and other members of the industry. Criterion Collection says this isn't a "top 40 compilation" or a "historical survey," but rather is a wide assortment of films that display the artistic range of the community.
