I have Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, Happy Together, In The Mood For Love, and (now) My Blueberry Nights.

How are As Tears Go By and Ashes of Time?

Those two I have yet to see, but I'm not terribly interested in the latter either. 2046 doesn't have a blu-ray release, but it's absolutely worth seeking out if you enjoy his work. My personal favorite of his.

1. Tokyo Story (upgrade)
2. Persona
3. The Man with the Movie Camera
4. Ordet
5. Touch of Evil

So you want Criterion to blow all their load in a single month?

The Artificial Eye Ashes of Time release is worth picking up. Not my favorite WKW, but a really fun movie nonetgeless.

I Married A Witch would be a better October candidate, in my opinion. Halloween after all!

My wish:

- Thief (1981) by Micheal Mann
- Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) by Jim Jarmusch

I would kill to see Thief released

The Jarmusch film I want is Stranger than Paradise.

It didn't keep Criterion from releasing the BLU for ICE STORM in July though. That is Thanksgiving lol IMO

I was bored to tears by the first half hour of Ashes of Time (Redux), but I can watch In The Mood for Love any number of times. 2046 is pretty damn good, and Fallen Angels decent though not for me re-watch material.

I'm thinking either The Tenant or Don't Look Now will be the Halloween offering(s). And perhaps a BD upgrade of Kwaidan or Jigoku. Maybe Criterion will release Eraserhead that month.

I bet you'll probably dislike The Grandmaster.

Are you a fan of Happy Together? That's probably his finest film in my opinion.

I loved Chungking Express, and also Loved In the Mood for Love. Fallen Angels and Happy Together I didn't like as much at all. In fact I blind bought F.A. and H.T. and re sold them fast. I thought I was going to like H.T. but in the end I just wanted to turn it off the whole time, and I can watch some really dull films IMO lol

Yep, from Universal. They revealed it while promoting the Schindler's List remastered BD.

Wow! I found In the Mood for Love way less interesting than Happy Together. Also, I think HT is his finest visual achievement.

I wish that Criterion would release every single film on my request list in one single month, and then start off with a clean slate of fresh surprises each month after that.
