Yes, M is also excellent.

No guarantees, but Playtime is likely to be the next one out of print so it might be one to pick up.

What led you to that conclusion? o.O

Has anyone watched Children of Paradise yet (besides pro-b)? My copy has shipped but it's currently with a friend in the States. I'm really hoping the pq isn't as dreadful as some have indicated.

Me, too. This is in my top ten films, and I've been looking forward to the release forever. I even bought a couple of copies for holiday gifts. Fingers big-ly crossed for it.

The Game is now on backorder. Damn it!

DarkRyder · 09-24-2012, 09:32 PM

I pretty much have it narrowed down to:

Close-Up
Playtime
The Battle of Algiers
The Music Room
Late Spring
M
The Gold Rush

Scottie · 09-24-2012, 09:36 PM

Will Stranger Than Paradise be getting an upgrade?

The Tati film rights have recently been picked up by Studiocanal.

I hope it doesn't cause problems, because it has long been rumored that Jour de Fete would come out and I'd really like to see Criterion upgrade M. Hulot's Holiday and Mon Oncle to Blu.

Even so, there is a legitimate chance of it going out of print.

Secret Sunshine is one of my favorite movies in the collection. It's devastatingly beautiful.

You should definitely get The Moment Of Truth. That's one of the best surprises of the year for me so far. Hunger is pretty great too.

I liked Secret of The Grain, but haven't watched my copies of the others yet.

Scottie · 09-24-2012, 10:10 PM

Just want to let everyone know that Eating Raoul has a cool designed booklet.

It's set-up like a restaurant menu

Scottie · 09-24-2012, 10:32 PM

Ordered:

3 Women
Down By Law
House Of Games
My Own Private Idaho
Night Of The Hunter

Videodrome was out of stock and then I couldn't apply the discount

Thanks guys, I went for Secret Sunshine, Moment of Truth, Hunger, and from my own intuition, Everlasting Moments.
