I'm pretty sure the water was meant to represent titles that were "stream"-ing on Filmstruck.

Some Like it Hot in for Day 1.

[jordan-r]

True Stories extra:

CD with 23 songs, containing the film’s complete soundtrack, compiled here for the first time (Blu-ray only)

And Ambersons:

An essay by critic Molly Haskell and (Blu-ray only) essays by authors and critics Luc Sante, Geoffrey O’Brien, Farran Smith Nehme, and Jonathan Lethem, and excerpts from an unfinished 1982 memoir by Welles

Have they done this before, leaving extras like these off DVD editions?

Also, that is some nice cover art for Some Like it Hot.

[BluRayBuddy98]

Haven’t heard of the others, but I’m so in for Some Like It Hot.

[CQD84]

True Stories and Some Like It Hot for me.

[MifuneFan]

Wow, what an amazing month

[Cremildo]

Classic Japanese cinema, from Mizoguchi to boot!

[Gacivory]

Some Like it Hot, Magnificent Ambersons, and True Stories for sure! Need to see more Mizoguchi

[deepscan]

No SUPERMAN...at least for another month. Criterion has yet to do a 4K Ultra HD disc. Will Criterion save its best for last in 2018? Tune in Sept. 15th.

[812crew]

11/20/18 will have the Bergman box, True Stories, and Ambersons.

There is no chance that single day of releases will ever be topped by Criterion.

[The Great Owl]

I'm all in for Some Like It Hot and The Magnificent Ambersons. Woo hoo!

Oh, and True Stories as well, since I'm a Talking Heads fan, and since I'm going to see David Byrne in concert in October.

[thebratpackwrangler]

Only Some Like It Hot for me. I might grab The Magnificent Ambersons

[DeyoreW]

Does the Bergman set have a spine #?

Also noticed True Stores says 1 disc, but is listed at $49.95. There is a "first time compiled" cd included to probably increase the price.

I wonder how it will be mastered?
Has a soundtrack on cd ever been included in a Criterion release?

[MifuneFan]

The Bergman set alone pretty much solidifed this as one of the best CC months ever, but adding Magnificent Ambersons, Some Like it Hot, and a classic Mizoguchi on top of that? Going to be hard to top that.

(Dear Criterion: Feel free to top that with a huge Kurosawa box set one month )

At least till we get a Kurosawa box set.

[DeyoreW]

Is "Superman" rumored? I didn't realize it was.

I doubt that Criterion will be releasing 4K Ultra HD titles anytime soon. The market isn't big enough for it quite yet. Give it a year or two and then maybe.
