The Criterion Collection

[Brad1963]

Wow! I guessed both Le samouraï and Perfect Days. But did not anticipate a 4k for Perfect Days. I'm in for both on day one, along Pat Garrett at some point. Great month!

City of God would be awesome, especially with the upcoming director's cut coming out.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Perfect Days. Such a relaxing kind of movie.

This is an incredible lineup and quite a surprise that they're putting out so many 4Ks in a single month. So happy to see a film like Farewell My Concubine get the 4K treatment.

[NeoNical]

Amazing lineup. All of my favorite films.

Perfect Days is the only 5/5 film I have seen this decade so far. Really happy for this one.

Farewell My Concubine was one of the best discoveries I made last year. 5/5

Le Samouraï: Do I have to say anything about it? 5/5

Black God White Devil is one of my few priority watchlist films. Beyond stoked to see it.

Risky Business is something I haven’t seen in a long time but remember it being super fun.

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is also another one I haven’t seen in a while.

One of the best months, ever.

Even though all the titles are great, the must have for me is farewell my concubine.

[Brad1963]

If anyone has complaints about the July announcements they should reevaluate if they really do love cinema. This month is perfect in every way.

[Snicket]

Criterion always brings the heat for July!

So nice to see Risky Business.

If you are not averse to importing this release is great and English friendly

Still no Armageddon upgrade?

Psh.

I do notice that the Criterion listing doesn't mention Dolby Vision like the Pathe has. Not sure if that's an oversight with the listing or what.

[XGEEKEDGERX]

Judging from the newsletter (and the website), seems Pat Garrett is the only one of the bunch being released as a digi-pack.

Happy that it’s actually new art instead of just repacking the blu art.

[jw007]

Now THIS is what you call A MONTH!

Risky Business = Yes
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid = Yes
Le Samouraï = Yes

And can I have more yeses for Wim Wenders' Perfect Days and the timeless film Farewell, My Concubine?

And to top it all off, a rare Brazilian film: Black God, White Devil.

YES.

That's all I can say for now. One of the strongest month of announcements in the last few decades. This reminds me of Criterion of yore. Thanks for keeping the faith alive.

4K and Blu-ray or just 4K? I'm not a fan of digi-packs, but it is what it is.

[sandman slim]

This may be in the running for "best month ever". I'm getting all of them.

The 4K is a 4-disc set, so a Digipak was somewhat inevitable there. The Blu-ray release is 2-discs, so it's possible it may come in a regular case,
