Criteion Robert Altman

[pickfair]

does anyone know why Criterion won't release their two Robert Altman films, SHORT CUTS and 3 WOMEN on BD? They've done just about every title in their catalogue except these. I've emailed them for 18 months with no reply

Just about every title in their catalogue except these? Are you serious!? I don't know the exact number of Criterion DVD titles, but only a small fraction has appeared on Blu so far.

Still, it would be good to have those two Altman films on Blu-ray. However, '3 Women' is a Fox-owned title (although they licensed it to Criterion for DVD release), so maybe we should be asking them about it first.

he's only a couple of hundred films off.
C'mon Bruce, cut him a little slack maybe.
btw OP: don't forget about tanner '88 and secret honor.

Since Paramount is currently licensing out popular movies like Rosemary's Baby to Criterion, I bet Nashville would be a good candidate for the Criterion treatment. I could see MGM licensing out The Long Goodbye.

I have a strange fascination with Altman's "failures." I'd love to have movies like Buffalo Bill and the Indians, Quintet, Popeye, The Gingerbread Man, The Company, etc. on blu-ray.

Would love to see Popeye on BD.
