Some incredible releases and the artwork is fantastic! Never seen It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World so that'll be nice, nor Thief, nor Throne of Blood but it's Kurosawa, and I've had Rififi on my DVR for a month, I'll be sure to give that a watch!

bwdowiak · 10-16-2013, 07:43 PM

Cool! The cover art for Thief reminds me of how great this film will look in hi-def! Can't wait!

jw007 · 10-16-2013, 07:43 PM

Hey Andrew/ABD,

I also BLU-UP after seeing Thief as a release. This is the very first Michael Mann Criterion release on DVD or Blu-ray!

YEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW!

Just an amazing sequence.

...and to think, that dude who was in here causing a ruckus yesterday was upset at Criterion for not releasing enough Kurosawa! He should have waited a day before getting his account suspended.

Yeah, now that dude can't even post his excitement about the new releases cause he's banned for a few days. Har har har!

sxerunner · 10-16-2013, 07:47 PM

Wow! Definitely will grab Mad Mad Mad Mad World and Throne of Blood. I'll also give Rififi and Thief a look.

Scottie · 10-16-2013, 07:47 PM

Well, I guess I can cross Throne of Blood off of my DVR list as it's coming out and it'll save me time from watching it now.

jw007 · 10-16-2013, 07:48 PM

All I have to say is Criterion is starting off 2014 with a BANG!

movieben1138 · 10-16-2013, 07:49 PM

YES!!!

Throne of Blood, Thief, Rififi...and even more Mad, Mad, Mad, Madness!!!!

January is going to break my bank account. (Maybe I can find some dough buried under a giant W?)

I took a break from doing backflips to respond to this

this announcement is just heavenly.

NO LIFE AQUATIC!? THIS IS THE WORST MONTH EVER!

There'd be no topping the December releases for my taste--that was the most exciting round of titles announced in 2013 in my book.

But Thief is a definite buy for me, and I'll probably upgrade Rififi. Love that new cover!

I hope this is a joke since we didn't get ONE Kurosawa in all of 2013.

Chabrolesque · 10-16-2013, 07:53 PM

Cool lineup - I haven't seen any of the new releases (other than IAMMMMMMMMW, which I'm ambivalent about), but they've all been on my radar for a long time and I'm excited to get the chance to see them in high-quality editions. Plus, amazing Kurosawa and Dassin movies in BD!

I am a little bit disappointed that the Satyajit Ray titles will be DVD only - but other than that, it's a really fantastic month.

movieben1138 · 10-16-2013, 07:53 PM

I'm so happy they kept the DVD artwork for Throne of Blood. That's always been one of my favorite covers. And I am definitely upgrading, as it is also probably my favorite Kurosawa film.

LetsGetATaco · 10-16-2013, 07:54 PM

4 new titles 2 upgrades and an Eclipse Set! Pretty good line up.

biglou114 · 10-16-2013, 07:55 PM

I might have to pick up It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World on Day One!!!
