I'm down for those two. :thumbsup:

New newsletter clue (don't ask me what it is, I never know)

Just because Tree of Wooden Clogs and The Executioner are foreign doesn't mean they're not classics.

That's a bit extreme.

Ingenious. All I could think of was a butler, some kids and a table. Oy.

Very excited about Chimes and maybe the Altman (which I own on DVD, and it looks awful). The Tony Richardson pic will inevitably be available in the UK for a better price.

Yet one more clue I got wrong. Thought it was The Odd Couple.

I am of the unpopular opinion that The New World is Malick's most immersive and complete cinematic opus. This release is bound to become one of the year's most treasured for film buffs. Of course, it probably won't be as exciting to those who already own the WB edition.

Those are major, MAJOR releases. The De Sica and Frankenheimer too, of course, but they have been available before.

Oh, well... Life goes on.

Not really.

Non-English language classics aren't the hottest thing around these parts, unfortunately.

In theory, I'd certainly buy The Apu Trilogy. It's one of the most important releases of the year - or even of the last few years, easily. But it's gonna be too expensive to import it.

The best batch of announcements of the year, in my humble opinion. :drum: Mulholland Dr., Kwaidan and A Special Day = total must owns. A recent American masterpiece, one European classic and a Japanese work of art. Not too shabby at all.

Sorry, my theatrical showing was at full capacity and there were no kids at all, mostly adults or young adults who loved the first film. It is way too violent for little kids. And a surprise: there are actual adults who like dinosaurs, too. They're fascinating extinct animals, not just...

I'm grabbing the Kieslowski, unless it its released in the UK first (which is doubtful at this point). Already own a Region A release of the Ivory, though Criterion's edition will undoubtedly be superior.

Announcements have been postponed until tomorrow, as per their FB page.

Hopefully, some pre-70s titles and a Japanese classic. ;)

My eyes water of joy when thinking of the possibility of seeing Roger Deakins' b&w cinematography in HD.

Announcements will be on Monday, as per their Twitter account.

Ignoring the StudioCanal Blu-ray has paid off.

I'm over the moon about Hiroshima Mon Amour, but that cover art, though appropriate, is not pleasing at all, IMO.

Plus Moonrise Kingdom.

Tree = Tray now? The pronunciation isn't even close. Jeez, if the guess is correct, these clues are getting lamer by the minute. ^_^

The Bridge for me. The standalone Five Easy Pieces is a must, too. I got Valerie on DVD from Second Run last year. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't know yet.

The Rose cover art is glorious, the best of the month IMO, it just pleases the eye that much. Too bad I got the old DVD just recently.

OK, I didn't get my Japanese fix, but those two Costa-Gavras more than make it up! :drum:
