I think September 2010 was the first month that ALL movies were released on both formats: The Thin Red Line, Merry Xmas Mr. Lawrence, Charade, etc.

From that point on, we saw everything on BD and DVD. Prior to that, they only got the rights for BD on films they thought would be successful. Then they realized BD was very successful and went full steam ahead.

So, long story short, and anyone can correct me if I am wrong, everything that was negotiated prior to September '10's slate that isn't on BD would have to be re-negotiated at some point.

18 new starting at $100 on Amazon, 1 used @ $150+

Half.com starting at $90

Ebay is consistently selling between $90 and $100

Either way, I'm giving my friend a copy... he better not sell it!

Criterion or not. No standard blu-ray is worth those prices.

I could understand if it was your favorite film.... but even so... if it were, I would surely be content with the Studio-Canal version before I paid anywhere near that amount.

Is there a non-standard Blu-ray worth those prices? I would think the Blu-ray disc of a well regarded movie receiving top-notch treatment being in very short supply would qualify something as non-standard. I wouldn't pay those prices--I don't like that movie enough to pay $25 for it--but obviously someone is.

I think he meant "Single movie" or not "box set" etc... at least that's how I took it to mean.

Zodiac
25th Hour
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown

Please don't flame me for having almost all newer films. All of these would be amazing in Criterion editions!

Oh no! The problem is that all these movies have a good chance of being released by their own distributing studios. I mean, Criterion can't put their logo on everything no matter how much you would like them to.

1. Mulholland Dr. (Lynch, 2001)
2. Three Colors Trilogy (Kieslowski, 1993-4)
3. Jules et Jim (Truffaut)
4. Lost Highway (Lynch, 1997)

7. Grave of the Fireflies (Takahata, 1988)
8. Dekalog (Kieslowski)

But there is no such thing as a standard Criterion. They're all special, like little snowflakes.

Yes. It's better to go with unconfirmed. Although, the way the list is shaping those 2 won't be in the top 10 more than likely.

They haven't announced when they are coming, but they are coming. 12 Angry Men was confirmed in an email and The Killing was one of the films they screened at All Tomorrows Parties.

Questions for you guys concerning the report.

What do you guys want to see other than the top 10 or so requests?

I have them in Excel and can analyze as needed.

I'd love to see Grave of the Fireflies on BD even if it was Studio Canal. Come to think of it has Criterion ever released a animated feature? I also caught Bonjour Tristesse on TCM last night and my wife mentioned that it should be a Criterion release, which was today's topic a few times.

Not that I can remember. It certainly has a message.

I asked this before in this thread and one person mentioned that Criterion released Akira on laserdisc. So that would be the only one.

I personally think they should do some animation. Lots of deserving titles out there, especially in the non-US realm.
