Yes, there are 2. The window clue (I don't even remember anybody attempting a guess on that one) and the waving "T" is up for debate, some say The Last Wave and I've also seen A Farewell to Arms suggested.

Four more days until March announcements.

A T waving “hello”- Othello..?

Even if that’s it, it’s a ambiguous clue IMO.

There were 2 flags with notes around them. (I doubt they drew 2 for one film)
They seemed like 2 Cuban flags, with the one in opposite direction.

But this opposite direction on the left (west) could mean the flag of Puerto Rico (West Side Story) which is the exact same with the Cuban flag with opposite colors.

Ok, now I get what you’re saying- and I hope it’s true!

I haven't really been around much the past the few days. So, I'm behind on the whole Top 10 thing. It's going to take me a while to be able to compile one.

I remember that the 10 Best Directors thread in the Movies Forum practically gave me a nervous breakdown.

Here's an interview in spanish with Carlos Reygadas that says that Criterion has the rights to all of his feature films. The newly-restored Japon will be releasef in three months according to the interview http://www.20minutos.com.mx/noticia/...rlos-reygadas/

Does anyone think it could be a clue for 5000 Fingers of Dr T ? I would love that. I just ordered the UK one but I would double dip for Criterions exclusive extras...

Aaaah, yes, I hope it's that one.
Those cluse didn't match anything else , right?
I mean that bottle with the X mainly, and then the other thing that looks like a lace.

[Ashirg]

The bottle with X can be La Poison.

I don't know if this was posted here, but Zola Jesus (who made one of the better albums of 2017 imo) recently listed her Criterion top 10. Some dark choices to be sure. Apparently Martyrs is her favorite horror film too.

It's cool she gives some love to Hiroshi Teshigahara. His films are the definition of hidden gems of the Criterion Collection. Highly recommended for fans of weird, thought-provoking cinema. Pitfall and The Face of Another are two of my most wanted Criterion blu upgrades.

Would also buy a Criterion release of Martyrs if they ever decide to release it since the US never got a blu-ray release.

Mill Creek released a blu-ray of 5000 Fingers of Dr T last June.

And looking at your avatar, I hope Criterion could release a new scan of the theatrical cut of Amadeus!
This film deserves a great release!

Wasn't the window clue a reference to Ozu's Good Morning?

I haven't seen it so I can't say for sure, it does look like an Ozu shot though so you're probably right, good call.

It was.

[MifuneFan]

Also the XX bottle refers to alcohol not poison. So while Arsenic & Old Lace is likely coming, this isn't the clue for it.
