Great movie indeed, but get ready to pay a "super fancy" $40-$50 for it.

The Last Emperor is the only familiar one on that list for me as well. So, don't feel so bad. Those other titles are more obscure, foreign and old classics.

I know. I forgot to add that part. Living in Australia you must be used to outrageous prices. That sucks quite a bit mate.

Well, I second that part. I'm having the same experience with fuel prices here in the states too.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-07-2008, 11:46 PM

I have no interest in the titles mentioned, but anything that helps the format is fine with me.

Blu Titan · 05-07-2008, 11:46 PM

Gentlemen...we have arrived!

Phenomenal news, a true milestone!!!

I can't wait to see CONTEMPT in HD BLU!

Mr. Dan · 05-07-2008, 11:53 PM

This is fantastic. Can't wait for their new version of Mishima!

Crème Blu-ray · 05-07-2008, 11:53 PM

Great news, and the BDs will be priced the same as the DVDs?!

Can't wait to see Brazil on Blu-ray.

Criterion, unlike Fox, actually warrants a $39.95 MSRP.

Brad1963 · 05-07-2008, 11:55 PM

Hopefully Criterion will release DAYS OF HEAVEN on Blu ray sometime in the future, I've been holding off buying the Standard version.

Seretur · 05-07-2008, 11:55 PM

Thank you, Criterion!

Half of the announced titles are must buys for me, although I hope they'll be done justice (e.g., no reframed 2x1 transfers on Blu-ray, Vittorio, already!) and produced to the highest standards available to the format, not to Criterion's own suspicious criteria of excellence (widescreen support took ages to show up, and windowboxing is the current craze, not to mention contrast boosting).

Still, they are unmatched when it comes to extras and style, and it's not like they don't know what they're doing transfer-wise. They just sometimes know wrong...

In any case, the big guy for quality cinema has entered the building. Blu-ray is now officially a mature format.

Caligula · 05-07-2008, 11:58 PM

Awesome Criterion!!

atomik kinder · 05-07-2008, 11:58 PM

Do they still have the rights to Hard Boiled and The Killer? Must buy those if they ever come out. Trainspotting too? Didn't they have a release of Pulp Fiction?

H9k_ · 05-08-2008, 12:03 AM

Great news, got a email this morning saying "A Blu-Ray announcement of some sort shouldn't be too long in coming" and here just before bed. They go blu. Awesome.
