It struck a real emotional cord and has single-handedly added Wim Wenders to my short list of favorite directors (in good company with Stanley Kubrick and Ridley Scott).

I thought Wenders for Director and Stanton for Actor deserved awards consideration for Paris, Texas. But awards shows rarely nominate people who deserve it so I suppose it's asking too much.

1) Last Year at Marienbad
2) The Seventh Seal
3) 8 1/2
4) Vivre sa vie
5) The Third Man

If there some more Japanese films (Mizoguchi, Kobayashi, Ozu, Naruse etc.) released on Criterion bluray this list would probably look a bit different.

This is far harder than it looks. If you're counting only Blu-ray, then;
1.The Seventh Seal
2. Pierrot Le Fou
3. Wages of Fear
4. Wings of Desire
5. Vivre Sa Vie

although that's leaving off The Third Man, Revanche, and Paris, Texas.

I have all but a few of the Criterion Blu's and here's my list:

1. Paris, Texas
2. The Last Emperor
3. The Third Man
4. Wings of Desire
5. Yojimbo/Sanjuro

A definite buy.

[bingtau]

One of my top 20 films. A masterpiece that will get the ultimate treatment. Beautiful!!!

[Belloche]

Now all we need is a Badlands Blu-ray to finish off the Terrance Malick collection.

[crobert0247]

I'll definitely keep an eye on this. Thanks.

[Squall835]

Damn, this is a day one buy for sure.

[Mr. Cinema]

I prefer SPR, but I still like this film and will definitely purchase. This will look stunning.

[Kevtronn]

Quicker than I expected, Great News!

[Mr. Cinema]

Here's hoping Barnes and Noble has another Criterion sale this year. I think they include pre-orders.

This is harder than it sounds. I own all released so far but have not yet viewed Ride with the Devil.

1. 8 1/2
2. Paris, Texas
3. Days of Heaven
4. Pierrot Le Fou
5. Chungking Express

Wanted to Add Che, For All Mankind, Revanche, Wages of Fear, & Yojimbo/Sanjuro Boxset but they would not all fit...

They haven't in the past. I remember being disappointed that last fall's ended a few weeks before Gomorrah was released, and there was no discount for the pre-orders.

Can't wait for this one though. Sale or no sale, it's mine on release day.

Day one purchase for me. I know I'm in the minority here, but I prefer this film over SPR.

looking forward to seeing this again-- very underrated (a little different for many audiences but I really got into it)

I've bought several Criterion titles (Repulsion, Wages Of Fear, Man Who Fell to Earth, Howards End) all from Amazon at very reasonable prices (all under 20 bucks) so I'm confident that we'll see a good price on it

[Lincoln6Echo]

Could this release be the long rumored extended cut?

[ManUtd]

Finally, one of my must-have movies.
