100 Years of Olympic Films

[Wyliefan]

(Didn't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here.)

This looks so intriguing! Makes me wish I were wealthy and could afford it! Maybe someday when it becomes part of one of Criterion's half-price sales . . .

And I think I just found my Xmas pressie from me to me

Thanks for posting. Can't wait for this to be released. Considering the price of each film individually if you are lucky enough to find them then this is actually great value.

OMG, Wyliefan, thanks for posting this treasure! I am an Olympics junkie, so I must have this! Will start saving $$ now....

This sounds great. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

In case you're having a half-blind day like myself, the "This" in Wylifefan's second sentence is a link to this:

Announcing 100 Years of Olympic Films
https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4812-announcing-100-years-of-olympic-films

I started getting old-man grumpy thinking that something was being discussed when there was no link or anything!

P.S. I did request in Board Business that links to be changed to orange or pink or something other than dark blue over black text, but I guess I'm the only half-blind person on this board.

Oh, sorry about that, @PeterG!!

 

[PeterG]

No problem. You're not at fault for my questionable vision.

Sold!

The Bud Greenspan documentaries are all so good.

The Bud Greenspan documentaries are all so good.

I was a huge fan of Bud Greenspan. Sadly, I cannot see myself spending this kind of money on the films, but I would love to see them. Maybe they will end up in some public libraries?

FYI, for those who are interested in this collection: Right now you can get it for half off when you use the promo code GOLD at checkout. This deal is good until noon ET tomorrow (2/14).
