I have always thought very highly of Fox Searchlight Features.

They seem to have brought some very special, unique films to the
table over the past years. Films like Juno, Little Miss Sunshine,
Slumdog Millionaire.....(many of which are already mentioned above).

A lot of quirky, sometimes cute films that manage to put a smile on your face.

Just saw a preview of The Grand Budapest Hotel which looks like
another Searchlight film that should do quite well.

This is great, but I'd also like to see some deeper catalogue titles come from Fox Searchlight, like Roll Bounce, In America, Thank You For Smoking, Waking Life. I really hope these will also get some love.

"The Full Monty" in blu-ray?!? I'm IN , Ron!!! :D
The Full Monty has been available on region-free Blu-ray from Fox outside the US since 2009. My concern is that the US release will probably have the ridiculous dubbed audio track that the US DVD versions have.
