Long shot but Grand Budapest, Notorious, The Circus, Red Beard (or another Kurosawa), Sixteen Candles and another animated film (Satoshi Kon's Paprika or Tokyo Godfathers would be amazing).

Those would definitely sell too.

I'm hoping they start releasing some titles in 2019. Maybe spine #1000?

I have always been against 4K in televisions since they are too small to notice a big difference by resolution only.

That being said, when my projector was having problems I upgraded it with an Epson Pixel shifting 4K (not real 4K) and watching Leon on the same 120 inch screen from the same distance is a thing of beauty, and noticeably better than BD, newer films like Ready Player One even looked better than my local theater , and it was an iTunes streamed version.

I feel the difference is enough to want to own my favorite movies in 4K if possible although I am sure not every film has a source good enough to warrant it, even if it was scanned at 4K, not all of them look in the same league of quality.

Then again if it was lets say a 55 inch TV, I wouldn't bother too much with 4K, HDR is supposed to be more important but I have not been impressed by it on a Vizio TV that got better than average reviews in regards HDR.

Oh, God, please give me Eight Men Out, then. Olive Films released it three years ago (and it was one of my most wanted blu-rays), but there's something really messed up with the aspect ratio. Criterion dipped its toe into the baseball film market with Field of Dreams. Give me Eight Men Out and Pride of the Yankees, and they can raid my wallet like famous movie people raid their closet. I could die happy.

The thing I can't get over is that I now need to login every time I go back to the site, why is that "remember me" checkbox there if I still need to input my credentials every freaking time? It's only acceptable because the browser can save the credentials at least, but this used to work in the old website.

Wishing? Roman Holiday, but since that doesn't seem all that likely I like to see In the Heat of the Night and Pandora's Box.

This is what aggravates me more than anything. Will not understand why they felt the need for a site redesign when the old site was perfect.

There are plenty I'd be thrilled with, but since I watch it every Christmas season, I'll say The Thin Man.
