    Yes, preferably before a potential Chinatown UHD is released.

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) (4k UHD Steelbooks)

    That's hilarious. I thought i was the only one that thought of that. I was trying to place where I had seen that art style and was searching for Johnny Quest cartoon images.

    UHD Review The Red Shoes UHD Review

    Good review. I saw the restoration print twice when it toured in 2009 or so. Monte Carlo was especially striking then as well. The audience was impressed to say the least.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Woody Allen Collection – in Blu-ray

    I think you're right. As much as I want to revisit these films, I cannot bring myself to spend $50 on this set. $30 would be ideal.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I'd inquire through [email protected]. The last time I needed one I had sent them $5 via pay pal up front and they were really responsive.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ CITIZEN KANE -- in 4k UHD

    Mr. Harris, do you recall if William Alland's face is more visible on UHD? If memory serves me, his face is shown very briefly but in the shadows.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ CITIZEN KANE -- in 4k UHD

    I appreciate how this review is critical yet constructive and complimentary. It will be interesting to see how this release is received and how people take to the HDR. I'm looking forward to this release.

    Francois Truffaut in 4K

    This would be a great move for Criterion. 4K transfers available and no need to commission new artwork or update packaging. Keep the same packaging and artwork and issue it on UHD/Blu. The DVD set was terrific.

    No 4K release for Gone With The Wind’s 80th Anniversary?

    Maybe this is where Criterion steps in and releases the movie on UHD? If Warner Bros is willing to license Kane, anything is possible.

    Pre-Order PHE Press Release: It’s A Wonderful Life 75th Anniversary (1946) (Blu-ray)

    The release makes sense. The movie is an evergreen title for Paramount. It's a movie available in the usual places and the places you don't normally think of for buying movies, like an end cap at Staples or near the register at 7-11. It may not be as high in public awareness as something...

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: Criterion's first 4k UHD releases

    It's only fitting A Hard Day's Night will get a UHD. The movie's US premiere was on this date in NYC in 1964.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    It's possible Kino acquired the rights after the release of Hannibal on UHD. I'd imagine Kino would've went with The Silence of the Lambs as their first UHD if they had the rights at the time. This might also mean Criterion passed on (or didn't inquire about) UHD rights.
