Ahead, check out the best Criterion Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD discs on sale for 50% off at Barnes & Noble:

‘Citizen Kane’

Considered the first-ever modern movie, “Citizen Kane” tells the story of the meteoric rise and climactic fall of the newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane. But it’s Orson Welles’ stylistic innovations that made it an instant classic, such as his jigsaw-puzzle narrative structure and stunning deep-focus camera work. The new digital restoration features three new audio commentaries from scholars and critics, new interviews and audio essays, archival interviews with Welles and much more.

‘The Others’

Set in a remote country house in England after WWII, Alejandro Amenábar’s “The Others” is an early 2000s gothic horror masterpiece. It was recently added to the Criterion Collection with a glorious 4K Ultra HD restoration that will definitely put a freight in you. The film stars Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, Christopher Eccleston, Elaine Cassidy, Eric Sykes, Alakina Mann, James Bentley and others.

‘Do the Right Thing’

Released in 1989, “Do The Right Thing” is a seminal work from director and star Spike Lee. Set in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood, tensions are high and are on the verge of collapse — thanks to gentrification, over-policing, immigration and the hot summer weather. It also stars Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, John Savage and Samuel L. Jackson.

‘A Whit Stillman Trilogy’

“A Whit Stillman Trilogy” features the film “Metropolitan,” “Barcelona” and “The Last Days of Disco” — which were all released throughout the ’90s. Each film examines the lives of the privileged “Urban Haute Bourgeoisie” in New York City and Spain with wit, heart and biting satire of yuppie life in post-Reagan America.

‘Lars von Trier’s Europe Trilogy’

The “Europe Trilogy” features three films from Danish director Lars von Trier — including his first feature “The Element of Crime.” The trilogy combines film noir, melodrama, horror and science fiction into one collective work.

‘Small Axe’

The “Small Axe” anthology features five films from British director Steve McQueen. The collection showcases West Indian life in London, England during the ’60s throughout the ’80s. It stars Letitia Wright, John Boyega, Malachi Kirby, Shaun Parkes, Rochenda Sandall, Alex Jennings and Jack Lowden.

‘Shoah’

“Shoah” is Claude Lanzmann’s nine-and-a-half-hour documentary on the Holocaust that’s told through interviews and testimonies of survivors and former-Nazis. It’s extensive, overwhelming and emotionally heart-wrenching, as a very impressive masterwork.

‘The Dekalog’

Originally aired on Polish TV in 1989, “The Dekalog” is a 10-episode series from Krzysztof Kieślowski. It examines the lives inside of a housing complex during post-Communist in Warsaw through the themes of the Ten Commandments.

‘America Lost and Found: The BBS Story’

“America Lost and Found: The BBS Story” takes a look at the collective films from producers Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner throughout counter-culture Hollywood in the late ’60s and early ’70s. It features “Head,” “Easy Rider,” “Five Easy Pieces,” “Drive, He Said,” “A Safe Place,” “The Last Picture Show” and “The King of Marvin Gardens” — with directors Rafelson, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Henry Jaglom and Peter Bogdanovich.
