But I have seen the visuals and select scenes and from what I have seen I personally do not like the look of it.

I also have read others insights and reviews to get a better understanding. I am not only one who dislikes the look of the film or the Artist/film maker behind it.

I am entitled to an opinion based on what I have seen. You do seem adamant on ignoring my previous statement which was 'When I see the film I will take back what I say if I am wrong'.

Sheesh, you woke up on wrong side of bed today.

I don't know if it was mentioned before, but it appears Samantha Fuller's profile was recently added to Criterion's site. She is in her father's film White Dog (1982), so I think there's a good chance we could see an upgrade of that soon

Nice find But I am still waiting for Paul Thomas Anderson's page to be filled

Referring to the film as a "monstrosity" and perpetually bashing it seems more than just a little bit unfair to me.

It was intended as a joke.

The fact that none of Paul Thomas Andersons films has received the CC treatment so far, that's a monstrosity.

Boogie Nights was a Criterion Laserdisc release (I know that doesn't help, haha), must have been one of the last ones before the shift to DVD. But I agree; I think Punch-Drunk Love or The Master would be ideal candidates. I'd even take Hard Eight/Sydney.

The MK cover is amazing

It could be an extra on a White Dog upgrade, but the page is more likely for the documentary she recently directed - A Fuller Life.

I would love a print of that for my wall...

Here we are. Another "15th". Only now I'm not going to subscribe to this thread, because I have ever since they hinted to us with the blue key in their newsletter, anticipating Mulholland Dr, only to see it not make the list. So maybe by not looking (unsubscribing), it'll be announced.
You could thank me in advance

Maybe in the future. If a new page is to be added, it would be this one.

Thanks Namuhana!

I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't gone to their website today. You're very welcome!

I'm trying to decide on what to get. I'm toying between the following: The 400 Blows, Autumn Sonata, Belle de jour, Antichrist, The Innocents, Sundays and Cybele, and Ride the Pink Horse.

Which would you choose, guys?
