This is just for the helluvit.
Rules:
1. List 25 titles you believe Criterion will release next year - no more, no fewer. Titles already announced as of 11/15/13 (for release in January and February) are not eligible. Therefore, the list you post is for the 10-month period of 03/14 - 12/14.
2. One post per member only, so think your choices through before posting. No late additions, no edits.
3. No posting after 12/31/2013.
4. No member who has insider information from Criterion is eligible. This has to be the honor system. The rest of us need only use common sense regarding what we assume Criterion has the potential rights to release, and which titles they would likely have an interest in. Those of us who have collected Criterion titles for many years will be able to make reasonable guesses about what titles they might shortly upgrade and which new titles they might add. .
5. One year from now, the person who has the most correct guesses wins. (Wins what? Just the satisfaction, of course!)
My own speculation follows (in no particular order, and heavily biased toward classic titles).
Have a blast!
