YES!
Got to catch Woman In the Dunes at our local art house recently and loved every minute. I had seen and loved it a ways back but was great to revisit it on the big screen.
Also have a strong affection for Face Of Another, one of my favorite performances from Tatsuya Nakadai and one of Toru Takemitsu's most effective scores.
Any fans of Hiroshi Teshihagara (Pitfall, Women in The Dunes, The Face of Another)? He rarely gets mentioned.
Yes, would even go so far to say that alongside Kobayashis HARAKRI, "Women in the Dunes" is the best goddamn (Japanese) Movie i've seen. Didn't like "Pitfall" that much, but "Face of another" is superb.

Nice job Scott! I would say The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Grand Illusion are out as they were for the Criterion art book. I would also consider Red Sun to be a rumor as it may be for something else. I also believe that clue back then had to be for Il Sorpaso, and not Midnight Cowboy

Agreed. I removed TMWFTE and LGI and dropped Red Sun and Midnight Cowboy to rumors.
That's quite disappointing. Hopefully we'll see it eventually, though. Do we know which company owns the rights to this and the other Merchant/Ivory films?
It's cool to see the love for Teshigahara here. Personally, I think he's one of the very few directors whose work I would say is art.
Have you guys seen Ako? It's one of his short films, on the bonus disc in the Teshigahara set. It's only 20 minutes or so, but an extremely powerful and beautiful piece of work.
I think you still have to add (even if it's just rumored) The Thief of Bagdad (1940), the Antoine Doniel set, the Dreyer set, possibly Scenes From A Marriage, Cria Cuervos, the Jarmusch stuff, Au Husard Balthazar, White Dog, The Naked City, This Sporting Life, Bad Timing, Testament of Dr Mabuse, Closely Watched Trains & The Fireman's Ball. You have to assume upgrades of at least some of those will come along wince masters are already made and are all available in Europe.

Would it be safe to assume that if it is on Criterion's Hulu page then it can move from a rumor to a slight confirmation? The fact that Boy is on there tells me it's coming at some point definitely.

As EJG pointed out, I believe the licensing for digital is different from physical.
Some of the films on Hulu have been there since Criterion launched on the website and some have sadly never seen the light on Blu yet.

A damn shame. I know the rights issues present, but some films they put out already have existing blu rays, but a lot of the films from Hulu have nothing. They should try harder to get them out because there are some fantastic films there.

I'm confident they would like to, you just don't know what situation the rights are in. I'd certainly consider it a likely candidate, but nothing to consider more than a rumour at this point.

The Teshigahara set is one I'm bummed about missing out on - what are the chances of a BD re-release?
