For some people, for various good reasons, a region-free player is not an option.

Earlier this year there was a report that Criterion and Warner's had entered into deal.....has it ever been confirmed?

Not disdainful, simply disinterested. There's a difference.

Don't want to speak for Ed, but I when I say classic, it's in reference to pre-1970 Hollywood films which my tastes prefer. I'm always happy for those who get their wishes in other areas but for me there's no interest in these other titles (with the exception of The Killers). That's why I said...

I guess we both are in the minority. My Criterion purchases have slowed to a crawl this year. I've been told I'm not Criterion's target audience.

I was also thinking the new 4k restoration of "The Third Man".....

Someone over at the "other" forum just posted a Facebook post that says the "big" announcement is postponed until tomorrow.....

Interesting....what could it be....fruits of the deal with Warner's that was mentioned earlier this year?

Theme was probably the wrong term....but they usually have at least one horror/suspense title in October. I'm thinking The Brood for this year.

Just a reminder.....October announcements today....expecting a Halloween theme....

All my Criterion wish-list titles are DVD upgrades as well: A Canterbury Tale Night Train to Munich Naked Prey 49th Parallel Green for Danger The Thief of Baghdad The Lady Eve Unfaithfully Yours Heaven Can Wait (Lubitsch) The Devil and Daniel Webster

I have truly given up trying to anticipate what Criterion will release each month. Outside of the New Year's Day Drawing and the newsletter cartoon each month, there's really no telling month to month. I know what I want to see from them, but generally if one title each month blows my hair back...

I think The Lady Eve has a shot because of the spate of Sturges releases lately but I have my doubts about the others.

Long shots: Upgrades of 49th Parallel, Green for Danger, Night Train to Munich, A Canterbury Tale, The Lady Eve

Amazing then if you look at yearly box office results by country, US films top the box office in just about every country in the world every year. A few countries in Asia are about the only exceptions. I guess no one in the world has any taste..... :)

Seriously? Look at the list of films Criterion has released since it's inception on Laserdisc, DVD and BD.....hundreds of pre-1970 HOLLYWOOD films ranging from Hitchcock, Powell/Pressburger, Hawks, Ford, Lubitsch, Sturges, etc. While I would certainly agree that Transformers would not fall into...

Just people's personal preferences. For me personally, I don't collect much of anything other than classic (pre-1970) Hollywood films, over 70% of my BD collection of over 400 films is in this era. I have little interest in foreign films, anime, world cinema, etc. And, if you look at most...

I know.....just being sarcastic as I posted this list over at "that" Criterion forum a while back. Got blasted by all the elitists over there for wanting "trifles", "bits of fluff" etc over the more "important" Criterion films should release before these......

1.- A Capra boxset 2.- Only Angels Have Wings A few of "I'm probably the only one that cares" upgrades from Criterion DVD to BD that I doubt I'll ever see: 1.- 49th Parallel 2.- Night Train To Munich 3.- Green for Danger

49th Parallel, Night Train to Munich, Spartacus, and Green for Danger
