The Criterion Collection

[DukeTogo84]

I'm hoping we finally get the Heroic Trio/Executioners and pretty surprised we got the Infernal Affairs trilogy first, since Heroic Trio seems to have gotten the theatrical tour dates for IA. Other than that, also hoping for a Japanese title. Fires on the Plains would be nice.

I just want Barry Lyndon in 4K, I mean I want other things too but that’s by far at the top of my list. And EWS if they have it. I need all my Kubrick on 4K.

It's an underrated film in von Trier's filmography.

My wants:

Caveman
Erik the Viking (Original Cut)
Student Bodies
Laserblast
Yellowbeard

But then again...





PS: Fires on the Plain! Thank you.

Europa
Dersu Uzala
After Hours
Inland Empire
The Other Side of the Wind

Got a feeling After Hours will be released in 2023.

Oooooo... perhaps we're getting a box??? Maybe his whole Europe trilogy?

Awesome!

The new restorations of Three colours trilogy do have the correct colours

I want Beach Party (1963). Why has no one released this on blu-ray yet? The DVD is rough, and would absolutely benefit from a new release.

[Azores26]

My dream announcements for today:

Europa (1991) 4K
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) 4K
Fantasia (1940) 4K
Stray Dog (1949)
Greed (1924)
Z (1969)

They're all too yellow.

Call me a fanatic but especially after rewatching Lost Highway in 4K I will cry tears of joy if Inland Empire is announced today.

[HuggyBear73]

Would like to see some early Scorsese like:

After Hrs 4K
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (I'll take a blu at this point)
Mean Streets 4K (next yr is the 50 Anniv - WB blu is OOP)
Goodfellas 4K (new transfer - US edition has been OOP)

Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid 4K
Risky Business 4K (WB blu is OOP/next yr is the 40th Anniv

I don't think anyone is clamoring for a new transfer on this one, just a re-release with Dolby Vision.

So how are they supposed to look then?

[dkelly26666]

My wish list is

Any Scorsese, but particularly After Hours, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, and Bringing Out the Dead

Any Pasolini (they missed his Centennial last year, except on streaming), but particularly Accatone or Mamma Roma

That Lars von Trier Europa set sounds great

Inland Empire

Any Bertolucci

I love announcement day and its crushing of hopes and dreams.

LOL. Yep, anymore, you're quite correct. I've grown used to getting nothing from my wishlists.

Imprint is actually the label that's been wowing me, lately.

In just the past few months, I've bought "One False Move", "Dersu Uzala", "Barfly", "Pretty Baby", and "Burn!" from them. On top of already getting "The Duellists", "Hard Eight", "Drugstore Cowboy", and a number of others.

I used to buy tons of Criterions, too.

But I keep being consistently disappointed all the time by them.

That stuff Imprint is releasing is the kind of thing Criterion should be releasing, just in better technical quality.

Barry Lyndon 4K would be a pretty great announcement!

I don't know. The current 4K release is kind of messy. The color grading is all over the place. But it's one i'd be shocked to see Warner let Criterion have. Who knows.
