I’m gonna predict: Until the end of the world #999 Roma and the Cameraman (998 & 1000, either could be 1000), & the Godzilla Showa set which could be no spine number like the Bergman set, or could be another good candidate for spine 1000 And haxan upgraded to blu ray.

Disagree, this is the first month of 2017 to have any "must buys" for me, other than dheepan and ghost world, I'll probably get all of the months releases. Well, black girl was a must buy, but I watched it on FilmStruck, I might buy it for the features because the film was so freaking great and...

Doubtful that's all it is referring to.

Does the rays shining out of the mystery box mean pulp fiction? (They've already done kiss me deadly) was that a LD criterion once?

Wasn't woman of the year a laser disc title?

I believe "Blue is the warmest color" is nc17

I was looking at Wikipedia and criterion released swing time and a night at the opera on laser disc, I wonder if those two are also on the docket for criterion blurays now? Or perhaps big Marx and Astaire Rogers sets?

Just so long as it's not the film, "goodbye dragon inn" which is easily the worst film I've ever seen in a theatre (it's an extremely long film primarily watching the people in a theatre watching "dragon inn", the guy watching everyone watch the movie is looking for another guy to have sex with...

Hamlet and Henry v have been released in the uk. Criterion has limited disc producer labor resources to allocate, so a producer who has an available slot in their schedule has to advocate on behalf of an upgrade and the materials usually have to be ready to go, such as hamlet or Henry v...

They've got all the bulldog drummond films from one of the portrayers up on hulu, so it seems like a natural "starring _______ as bulldog drummond" eclipse release.

I'm guessing Dr strangelove One two three the new world Story of the last chrysanthemum Summertime upgrade Ugetsu upgrade Bulldog Drummond eclipse

I wouldn't get too excited, criterion is likely to release it in a wrong open matte 4x3 presentation because Kubrick once approved an open matte presentation for criterion for laserdisc (despite much of the film being hard matted for widescreen in camera or on prints, thus giving the film a...

They also posted a color grading demonstration of Terrence Malick's the new world on their website and state it is coming in Malick's preferred 172 minute cut.

They've only upgraded 150 ish titles in six or seven years, so they are never getting through all of them. they've got like another 350ish not upgraded, though there's probably 100 or more out of print titles in that 350 that can never be upgraded even if they wanted to.

I'll buy all those except manchurian candidate, because criterion doesn't seem on part with the arrow release.

I thought the director said in an interview he'd abandoned working on a different cut? If so, that would explain the problem

I'm going to guess, boyhood, tampopo, a brighter summer day, the manchurian candidate, paris belongs to us, a poem is a naked person, burden of dreams, the lady eve and a Sweden in the thirties eclipse set

I wonder if the lack of upgrades is because they got most of the studio canal rights back and are preparing a big batch of releases of formerly out of print titles? Maybe we'll find out next week. That'd be a merry Christmas!

Yes, according to Harold blank, they're currently working on burden of dreams

Both in march I imagine

Alternatively, it could mean catalog upgrade titles sales stink for criterion lately, versus new spine numbers, given the massive proliferation of boutique labels releasing catalog blurays in the last 24 months I would expect criterion sales of upgraded spines has plummeted in the same time frame

I'm amazed they've put out twelve new releases in 2016, even though it stinks that there are no catalog upgrades I imagine this means the low hanging fruit like downhill racer have been harvested and mostly big projects like kwaidan are the primary upgrades we'll get in 16.

on the site it says " New English subtitle translations" so it is only the original language, subtitled. No dubs. No shorter American edited versions.

That editing machine is a glorious da Vinci resolve by black magic designs

I imagine it will be a pair of two disc releases, possibly boxed, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were a yojimbo sanjuro situation. Each film will probably have the original length original language version on one disc and the shorter dubbed american version on a second disc. The dubs are...

its probably both, like black stallion and ride the pink horse double clue.

I was surprised at no upgrade, then i checked the other forum and they sayit's been four years since they had a month with no catalog upgrade

I was looking and criterion have upgraded from dvd to bluray all of their second edition spine numbers except vagabond and cleo from 5 to 7, I bet we get those two soon.

My wishlist of upgrades is long Vampyr Pandoras box Bicycle thieves Henry v Passion of Joan or arc Testament of Dr mabuse Ugetsu La strada Great expectations Oliver twist Red beard I know where I'm going Dreyer trilogy Bergman trilogy Devil and Daniel Webster Early summer Le samourai Canterbury...

We're about a month out from the sale, anyone want to make recs of recent favorites from the last sale or what's on their must haves for the sale? Best purchase from the last sale : blu: Odd Man Out - even better than the Third Man (same director) DVD: silent ozu, three crime dramas. These...
