Keeping my fingers crossed that it comes back down.

I can't see them releasing two box sets (with one being new and one being an upgrade to BD) in the same month, but I'm pretty confident we'll get a BD upgrade and DVD re-release of the silent box at some point in the future.

Yeah, I didn't mean in the same month. Just this year maybe? Or even next year.

Some day, they will upgrade the Rebel Samurai box set so we can finally have Samurai Rebellion and Kill! in HD.
Someday...

Looks like THE SCARLET EMPRESS is going to be part of a larger set.

I've never watched Bull Durham so I will have to get it eventually. To use a baseball term, Criterion is hitting a lot of home runs.

I've added/updated the following to the database (before they were added):

-Morocco
-Dishonored
-Shanghai Express
-Blonde Venus
-The Scarlet Empress

Can you confirm these and others?

Just basing it off phantom pages.

In addition to Scarlet Empress, I believe some are:

[Show spoiler]Morocco
Dishonored
The Devil is a Woman

[Scottie]

[Show spoiler]Dragon Inn

[MifuneFan]

Finally!

That's about what I got so far myself

In theory they could also throw in the other three paramount produced and universal owned detrich / von sternberg films from the early 30s: dishonored, blonde venus, and the devil is a woman - but a 6-film box set may be expecting far too much.

Pretty much nailed it.
