They usually have some big titles for November. What would be nice would be Pinocchio or Pat Garrett and as always some HK or Japanese titles.

I'm getting nothing from their August-October slate, so I really do something from November interests me.

So it looks like Days of Heaven might be on its way back to the collection, with a 4K version likely. The OOP tags have been removed as of right now and Criterion is probably updating the webpage as we speak.

UPDATE: Coming November 14 in 4K!

Mean Streets 4K, Days of Heaven 4K, The Last Picture Show 4K and I guess I’ll toss La cermonie BD in there too probably. I have zero interest in the Jackie Chan set because I don’t feel like obligating myself into completionist territory for the Scratch Factory Chan sets. Heckuva great month.

[Darth Marcus]

In for Mean Streets and Days of Heaven 4Ks! I've got the Columbia set, so I'll pass on The Last Picture Show 4K.

[Brad1963]

Awesome month! I still think there will be a surprise announcement in the next couple weeks. Last year they announced Wall-E 4k and two years ago Uncut Gems 4k after the initial announcements.

[MifuneFan]

What a line-up. So glad to see Mean Streets finally announced. I love the cover art for it too. The Jackie Chan set was a long-awaited one for me as well.

[BigDmo531]

Probably just Mean Streets and Jackie for the sale for me. Still gonna be dropping a good amount as I'll be grabbing some August, September and October UHDs with them as well

[lilboyblu]

Will definitely pick up Days of Heaven and Mean Streets 4Ks.

Great to see the Last Picture Show 4K get a standalone release too, but already have that in the Columbia Classics 3 set.

[DimitriL]

Holy crap - Texasville, and the B/W directors cut too. How long had Bogdanovich been trying that into the collection? I honestly didn’t think we’d ever see that hit.

[javy]

I must have the new restoration of Mean Streets. I have the previous Criterion BD of Days of Heaven and the Artificial Eye BD of La cérémonie.
