The blu ray is going to have some short films also, which is a big plus.

Hey, CC could always release Empire State Building by Andy Warhol.
Edit: turns out this is actually shorter.

I considered getting Berlin Alexanderplatz last month through their site...that's why I'd posted asking the chances of it ever getting a re-release. Although I'm not sure how long I'd want to wait.

What has Criterion released longer than this?

A film made by the man.

I wouldn't wait. They have about 15 or so Fassbinder films not released yet through Janus, plus the BRD upgrade. I'm also sure they would get around to Fear Eats the Soul before Berlin Alexanderplatz. Best release put out by them so far.

Another long one is Eight Hours Don't Make a Day also, after its restoration is finished.

There is a filmmaker named Lav Diaz, which would make Shoah a short film in comparison.

Chapters. TV film.

I also considered getting that one too, but decided to wait on it as well. However, every month now I've been anticipating another Fassbinder release and keep getting disappointed . Before that news that they gained all those films, I was planning on collecting all these older DVD releases that keep getting harder to find, which I also put off for the most part

Ditto. I've fallen head over heels for Fassbinder as of late.

Nothing for me in June. Guess that means I can spend that money on Naked Lunch and The Blob.

I don't know how Shoah has never been on my radar before. Sounds outstanding. Glad to see Wild Strawberries getting an upgrade, but I'll probably hold off on it for a bit since I just watched it and I know it would just sit on my shelf unwatched for a while. Shoah and Marketa Lazarová are my only definite purchases, I'll look into Things to Come and Safety Last!, though I'm leaning towards the former if I got for a third June title.

Yup.
Bitter Tears may be my favorite by him so far.

I'm just putting it out there: Things to Come is no Metropolis.

I would recommend you get all 5 of the Fantoma dvd releases though. They are OOP but hasn't went up in price as of now (only 2, Martha and In a Year with 13 Moons are the highest at about $50 new. The other 3 are at $20.), so you can get them through the marketplace, but act fast. I don't know if they will be released anytime soon from anyone.
