Switch a few of these out with
Dog Day Afternoon
All the Presidents Men
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Robert Altman New to Blu-Ray title box set surprised I'm the only one mentioning this as there's a ton of Altman films on the channel right now
Captain Blood
Red Beard new restoration was just done surprised its not on your list
Hud
Eclipse Series 8 Lubitsch Musicals

I doubt The English Patient is coming out this month this might be saved for next year most likely. I also don't see Four Nights of a Dreamer either it doesn't seem like a film on Criterions Blu-Ray upgrade radar right now. Also I think our big silent film will get revealed this month most likely The Wind.

OK I guess I'll shut my mouth I just don't see them upgrading it to 4K in December. Honestly, look at all the titles they haven't upgraded from DVD to Blu-Ray I'm hoping for more of those titles in December along with some big surprises. Some that have been waiting on Blu-Ray releases for years.

As for December -
Girl Shy or Why Worry (or perhaps both as a double feature)
Hud
Captain Blood
The Wedding March
Trouble in Paradise and/or anything else Lubitsch related
Ruggles of Red Gap

If they're able to pry anything out of the Mouse House, please let it be the Borzage silents - Seventh Heaven, Street Angel, and Lucky Star.

I would love a George Stevens set. Maybe they could get "Alice Adams" in there, or "Vivacious Lady." Though putting the two Jean Arthur films together makes sense.

I would also love the Harold Lloyd films and the "Trouble in Paradise" upgrade. I also love Errol Flynn, so "Captain Blood" would be a definite purchase.

Basically, I want Criterion to release more Classic Hollywood. I have purchased almost every one they've released.

LOL! This would be such a random one for the collection, but its definitely a favorite of mine too.

Just going with one film that has been predicted by others, that I'd like to see among the next set of Criterion US title announcements, All the President's Men. Don't have any prior physical media releases of it (if a Criterion release happens, I hope all previous extras are ported over).

It may not be December, but my feeling is Criterion will put this on the schedule sooner than later. It is a rare Bresson film newly restored in 4k and as far I as I know has not been available in the U.S. for a while.

I have a feeling Warner will do this themselves next year for its 50th.
