Or Whiting's bare tush!

Romeo and Juliet is a lush, classical version of the piece, as far removed from the Baz version as it's possible to be. It's exquisitely made and beautifully cast. The two leads were inexperienced, and that shows occasionally, but overall, I think it's the best Romeo and Juliet on film.

I love the Noel Coward/David Lean set. Those movies are all special and look wonderful.

A terrific announcement if it comes to pass; it's a wonderfully acted and directed drama, based on Arthur Laurents' play The Time of the Cuckoo.

It isn't the first John Waters/Divine film they've released, and they've also released other pop films like The Blob that didn't have many pretensions to being artsy..

Dog poo, maybe, but you've probably not seen Sweet Movie which Criterion released during my first year here as a reviewer (2007). The most repulsive movie it's ever been my misfortune to watch with a segment featuring a (German?) cult whose thing was eating human excrement and regurgitation.It...

Three days ago, I bought off Ebay a used copy of Trouble in Paradise when I realized I did not have this old Criterion DVD in my library. I fully expected it to be announced for Blu-ray today and was shocked when I read the line-up where it was missing!

Same with me. I've been buying all along (the ones I didn't review, that is), so my needs at the present time are very small.

Me either. It was made at a time for those kinds of movies, but it's a far more down-to-earth story and all the better for it.

Better examples: The Fantastic Mr. Fox, All About Eve, Some Like It Hot.

I'd buy The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in a heartbeat if it were available on Blu-ray or UHD.

Thanks for the info.

? I reviewed the Criterion Blu-ray edition of The Killers (1946/1964) four years ago. Go here to read the review. Or did I misunderstand you?

Yeah, that's what I'd be interested in.

I am so very excited about Show Boat. No, we're not getting the three-film box set we always hoped Warners was working on, but I will be able to shed that old Criterion laserdisc.

Of course that's the answer, but I never would have gotten it in a million years. Of course, once you get the answer, it all seems so simple (and makes me feel so stupid).

Teorema is a strange and quirky movie. I've never seen it look decent on home video, so the Criterion transfer should be something to see.

The tones of the two films couldn't be more different. Fail-Safe is a nightmare come true that many baby boomers feared from the time we were old enough to know what a bomb was. That final scene gave me bad dreams for days. The two films share themes about the dangers of nuclear proliferation...

Yes, I am usually horrible at guessing these, and my first immediate reaction was Fail Safe.

I'm with you, Josh. Though I'm sure it will look and sound terrific, I'd rather they give us The Little Foxes on Blu-ray. The Fox Blu-ray of Eve (which I reviewed) was plenty good enough.

Oh, how wonderful about The Circus! At long, long last! Just too long to wait for it, unfortunately. I want it now!

I got tired of waiting and bought the HD stream on iTunes and have enjoyed watching it a couple of times since I bought it. If Criterion does come out with a Blu-ray, I'm sure I'll buy it. It's one of my favorite Hepburn movies, and I think Grant is completely disarming in the film.

I've got a nice little list that's waiting for the July sale.

I knew it was Prince and I STILL couldn't figure out it was The Prince of Tides. I'm very excited about its arrival, however!

I saw the announcements in a Criterion e-mail and was just so pleased with this line-up. And the Barnes & Noble sale is the next month!

I let out a yelp when I saw that The Heiress is coming. It's one of my all-time favorite dramas, and I have practically worn out my current DVD. I'll be glad to pass it along to a friend while I revel in the new high definition rendition.

I rewatched my DVD of Klute a couple of months ago and was reminded how entertaining it is. The image was in need of clean-up, however, so I'm excited Criterion is going to get its hands on it.

I can almost never guess their clues, but this one is unmistakable.

The shipping notice was in my e-mail inbox this morning, so I hope to have it in a day or two. Looking forward to seeing it again in high quality.

I might have guessed Day for Night if we didn't already have it on Blu-ray.
