I first thought he meant he hit it out of the park. As it turns out there's probably a bunch of baseball idioms that could be applied here without any further info

Heck yeah Dead Presidents is my most wanted Blu-Ray release too with Titan A.E. in second place it would be a huge upgrade from the Criterion laserdisc of Dead Presidents they did back in the 90s. I have a strong strong feeling we’re getting it at some point if not for December then most likely next year.

Above the Rim is also great one of Tupac’s most underrated films he starred in not enough people talk about it either.

Broken record here, but I'm really wanting That Hamilton Woman and Trouble in Paradise!

Criterion, release these already!

Seconding Winchester 73, Captain Blood, and Oliver Twist I really hope we one of these titles in December, and then next year we get the other two plus the Kaiju title, and the werewolf horror title too.

I’ll add these two:

[gbm82]

So far I've appreciated Rossellini but most of his films haven't fully resonated. But Germany Year Zero hits hard, great film.

[Alfredlynch]

Some I want are

Spellbound
Rodan
Monkey Buisness
Hard Eight
The Last Wave
Missing
California Split

[sandman slim]

Basquiat or I riot.



Also would love to see these in the collection. All have been tragically ignored in the hi def era, the Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss DVD is even non-anamorphic.

Late last year (I think) I saw a picture on twitter of Lee Kline at some restoration event in India and the monitor behind him looked like a raw scan of either Oliver Twist or Great Expectations (again, I can't remember which one it was.) But I would expect restorations of those to get some theatrical play dates, at least in New York, ahead of the disc releases.

Betcha it is a Sammo movie, not a Jackie movie.

I really am hoping Winchester 73 gets announced tomorrow we are long overdue a Blu-Ray release of it same with White Dog too. I don’t think it’s going to happen for December, but I hope it does I don’t want to wait till January to get Winchester 73, and White Dog.

My hopes (regardless of rights) for 4K:

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Paris Texas
The Crying Game
Dead Presidents
Quiz Show
Turning Point (1977)
Working Girl

And one can dream:

Madonna: Truth or Dare 4K with unreleased footage and a remastered anthology of Madonna's videos in 4K

These two would be fantastic.

Dead Presidents is my most wanted film on Blu-Ray if that gets announced tomorrow I swear I will lose it. I have to say though I think it sounds more likely to happen next year than December, but if it does somehow show up in December I’ll be so dang happy.

Paris Texas is a great Harry Dean Stanton film that most likely will get announced tomorrow, but any other titles that get announced are completely up in the air.

Speaking of Harry Dean Stanton though Criterion finally needs to put out Lynch’s the Straight Story on Blu-Ray and 4K
