The Official Works Film Group Thread

Looks like UK distributor The Works are deciding to upgrade some of their back catalogue to Blu-ray. Listings for the following have just popped up on Amazon:

24 Hour Party People (Michael Winterbottom, 2002) https://www.amazon.co.uk/24-Hour-Par...r+party+people
Shortbus (John Cameron Mitchell, 2006) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shortbus-Bl...words=shortbus
Land and Freedom (Ken Loach, 1995) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Land-Freedo...reedom+blu+ray
2 Days in Paris (Julie Delpy, 2007) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Days-Paris-...+paris+blu+ray
A Prairie Home Companion (Robert Altman, 2006) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prairie-Hom...home+companion

I'm particularly up for the Altman and Loach, and never actually saw 24 Hour Party People so be interested to see that too. I wonder if these will actually be decent Blu-rays or hit and miss like Film4's initial foray into the format.

Let's hope they will upgrade Richard Linkater's Bernie at some point, and perhaps some others too (Rolf De Heer's Ten Canoes, David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Bobcat Goldthwaite's The World's Greatest Dad).
