Looking at your list, I kinda hope Criterion release some Saura in BD ! Deprisa, Deprisa would be a nice addition. Cria Cuervos... sounds the most plausible to me thought.

Deprisa, Deprisa was just added to Criterion Hulu this week. I'm thinking that a disc release is pending. Usually there something announced each month that was not on the radar. It is my longshot guess.

Any Hitchcock would be nice. I'd prefer Rebecca or Notorious, but I'll settle for The Lady Vanishes. That opening model sequence is going to look even funnier on Bluray then the DVD.

Also I wish they would get Kind Hearts and Coronets and Le Corbeau back!!!

All the Citizen Kane digis at the store where I work (only 4) had badly damaged spines. Did you order yours, or pick up at a BB?

Wow- I had no idea what Criterion packages look like.

Another reason paper cases of any kind are an abomination. They look good, but they DO NOT last over the years, through packing and moving and general watching. It's too bad people like them and studios still use them.

Then again, I keep getting plastic cases with cut spines due to careless warehouse employees.

If there was a name drawn in the window I'd say Lady Vanishes, but I doubt it. Just being hopeful I suppose. Plus the backdrop looks like the backdrops aboard the train in the movie.

[Show spoiler]That's the smudge left after the tea label is blown off the train window...I think that happens after the name on the window sequence. Haven't seen this film in a while

^^That's my guess in confirmation that the hint is for The Lady Vanishes. Which will be a sure pickup for me.

And if Wild Strawberries and/or City Lights is also named...I'm just gonna be broke. Or it'll be a long wait 'til the next sale for me.

EDIT: *which*, not *wish*

Thanks I had forgot about that. If this is true its great to see Hitchcock get some love on Blu-ray. The major studio's really have dropped the ball in regards to releasing his titles.

I can confirm it is The Lady Vanishes! Rats I just bought that DVD last Nov during the B&N Sale.

The Lady Vanishes (1938) - 6/10 - YouTube

Fast forward to 2:55 exactly

Indeed this is awesome. This is my favorite British Hitchcock, and one of my favorites by him, period.

Nope, Lady Vanishes, smear left by the Harriman's Tea packet after chef throws garbage out the window, 54 minutes in.

Really? They have the best Blu packaging out there. Very Classy. Besides Special edition style packages that other studios release like ALIEN and the like.
