Criterion releasing two silent movies in a six-month period? It must be a Christmas miracle!

Hopefully more Heisei-Era Godzilla films are on the way.

That was the one that convinced me the original post listing the releases was a pisstake. And isn't Night Moves on BD from WAC?

Do we know what audio they used for that one? I have in my spreadsheet that the US release is to be avoided because they dubbed the British slang.

MovieDood · 12-13-2024, 03:51 PM

Ooh, announcements two days early, Criterion. Very slick.

It's the original British version according to Criterion's page.

Dude, oh my God!!!! for the past like few days I was tempted to pick up thief, but part of me just felt like they were gonna upgrade it to 4K. I did not expect it to be today!! Holy what an announcement!!!

In for the rest too!!

DimitriL · 12-13-2024, 03:55 PM

Is it just me or are the extras this month especially robust? Like, it's been a while since we got two new commentaries, and on Night Moves and Godzilla no less.

eightslicesofpie · 12-13-2024, 03:56 PM

Choose Me sounds pretty interesting

themp3000 · 12-13-2024, 03:57 PM

I’m super hyped for Choose Me. Night Moves and Thief are also definite buys.

Godzilla vs Biollante is a maybe.

Not interested in A Woman of Paris and already have BFI’s The Wages of Fear 4K.

pauleky · 12-13-2024, 03:58 PM

In for all, except Godzilla - great month!

jzbadblood · 12-13-2024, 03:59 PM

Godzilla vs. Biollante?!??!?

I'm shocked. This is one of my favorites and I never would've guessed Criterion would get it. In fact I never thought we'd see these released again. Is the rest of the series on the table now too? I sold the OOP blu-rays last year for a nice of chunk of change really hoping this would happen.

Brad1963 · 12-13-2024, 04:03 PM

OMG!!! NIGHT MOVES IN 4K!!! IMO one of the greatest films of the 1970's. Day one for sure.

THE WAGES OF FEAR in 4K was expected and as one of my all-time favorites also day one.

CHOOSE ME is a great surprise. Another day one for me.

This is an amazing list of titles. If anyone has any complaints about the March announcements, then they do not love cinema.

THIEF in 4K and A WOMAN OF PARIS also fantastic announcements.

halationsummer · 12-13-2024, 04:07 PM

Fingers crossed for an Angus (1995) release since they're putting out a decent amount of films from WB. Definitely interested in Night Moves and Choose Me.

jshaide · 12-13-2024, 04:07 PM

Rocking month. Favorite month from Criterion in quite a few!

jshaide · 12-13-2024, 04:11 PM

Wonder if someone out there is annoyed that Biollante was released before Return of. . .

I'm actually surprised it's coming as a standalone. I really figured they'd do a bigger set for the period.
