Someday I might get a multi-region player, but most of the movies I am interested in do come out in America in editions that satisfy me. I heard about First Men in the Moon here on this forum in one of the Twilight Time threads. TT has all but confirmed that it's coming this year.

Any new word on these? I'm thrilled to hear that we will be getting Quatermass and the Pit on blu-ray soon. That's one of the biggest gaps in the U.S. science fiction catalog, in my opinion. Hopefully a Quatermass Xperiment/Quatermass 2 box isn't far behind! Along with Twilight Time hinting...

I second: The Saragossa Manuscript Fellini Satyricon The Tenant Mulholland Drive Lost Highway Eraserhead The Devils Also, Until the End of the World - European cut needs a stateside release badly.

If Anchor Bay still has an arrangement with Hammer, I wish they would do a Hammer Quatermass box with The Quatermass Xperiment, Enemy from Space and Five Million Years to Earth on it. Better yet, make it a Nigel Kneale/Hammer box and include The Abominable Snowman. I'd pay good money for that...

They have confirmed First Men in the Moon? That's wonderful! I only just saw it in the last few years (during an exhaustive and fun tour of old sci-fi movies) and it stood out as one of my very favorites. Could Twilight Time release more Nigel Kneale films? Anything such as Quatermass...

Very awesome indeed! I'm a little disappointed that Videodrome follows after stuff like Charade which I honestly never liked very much. But I'm keen to see Mr. Lawrence on Blu-ray for my first viewing and The Thin Red Line release is a dream come true! That said, I would trade all of the...

These are all good candidates. Barry Lyndon is my favorite movie, The Duelists is a great Lyndon knockoff (I mean that in a good way) and 1492 would look amazing. I seem to recall the Ridley Scott was approached by HBO at some point about doing a director's cut of 1492 presented as a...

Hmm, is the listed running time of 100 minutes a typo? The "George Lucas Director's Cut" released a few years back (which I own) runs 88 minutes. Probably just a typo; I can't imagine George Lucas doing another cut so soon.

1. McCabe & Mrs. Miller 2. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid 3. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia 4. Once Upon a Time in the West 5. Heaven's Gate

YES!!!! The announcement of The Thin Red Line is something I've been waiting years for, but including Videodrome (?!?!!!), more Wes Anderson, and Seven Samurai makes this the best month of Criterion releases EVER in my book. It's like they read my mind... (Closes eyes and imagines Criterion...

Just one: Twin Peaks.

Has anyone seen this article? http://www.theauteurs.com/topics/4494 It's all good news -- but still no release date.

Looks like we may have an explanation for the lack of a Special Edition/Director's Cut... http://www.courthousenews.com/2009/12/04/Producers_Win_Legal_Fees_in_Thin_Red_Line_Case.htm?sbrm Now that it's cleared up, can Malick start thinking about re-releasing his masterpiece?

There's also a rumor that Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are remaking The Third Man, so that may have tangled the rights even further. A terrible idea just got worse, if you ask me. And yeah, it's a bummer that Howard's End got the Blu-ray treatment. I wonder how many voters in that Amazon poll...

Does anyone else think that the Criterion hint from the newsletter today means that Fellini's 8 1/2 is their next Blu-ray release? A great, great choice if you ask me. You can't go wrong with Fellini, and having him on Blu for Christmas makes me very very happy!
