3 Women
Midnight Cowboy
Elevator to the Gallows
Anatomy of a Murder

Also open to recommendations, here's my collection: https://www.blu-ray.com/community/co...&categoryid=7&

You'd probably really like Anatomy of a Murder based on your collection.

I think Scenes from a Marriage will be my 2nd Bergman film once that blu-ray comes out.

EDIT: Scratch that. I think Persona will be my 2nd Bergman film since Marriage is coming out later this year. I read a synopsis on Persona and i'm game for it.

I own Persona on DVD but haven't watched it yet. I feel like I should before I go blind-buying any other Bergman though.

Ooh, you're a Bergman Virgin
Seventh Seal, Cries and Whispers are essential viewing too, and if you don't want to wait for a blu-ray announcement The Bergman Trilogy DVD boxset is another must-see.

I'm the opposite. If I had to choose one film to have from the three it would be White. It's one of my favorite films.

I realize the impact of Blue and Red but there's just something that strikes a chord with me on White.

Watching Persona was one of the greatest decisions of my life.

Bergman is at the top of my list and my most wanted upgrade to Blu-ray is A Film Trilogy although I always refer to it a his "Faith Trilogy". An overlooked gem which is one of my favorites is Wild Strawberries.

Went this morning and got:

Bottle Rocket
Female Trouble
Woman in the Dunes
Badlands
Carnival of Souls
The Innocents

[Hoke Moseley]

I feel like the construction on My Criterion should have been completed by now.

[bluesparrow]

Ordered:

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
Moonrise
King of Jazz

Thanks for the rec! I just picked up The Age of Innocence, Anatomy of a Murder, Elevator to the Gallows, and The Virgin Suicides.

Just got a shipping notice for my B&N Dietrich/Sternberg pre-order! It says it's not expected 'til July 9th, though... I think this is the first time I've pre-ordered from B&N. Are they likely to ship things early, or do they normally create a shipping label way in advance?

[Gambit1138]

As per the newsletter, looks like Notorious is coming back!!

[koberulz]

[tallrichard]

Really depressing the lack of inventory for the Criterion Sale in Charleston....

I did find:

The Awful Truth
Midnight Cowboy
Age of Innocence
Moonrise
Tom Jones

I had to have an employee dig through an unopened shipment to even get those.

Scary thing is I had 8 others on my list and 8 which are coming out and they couldn't sell me those, they could only tell me to try the website.
