 A simple repackaging, no doubt being rushed out to capitalize on his death. Would have been a lot nicer to get more unreleased work. No sign of any other December releases yet, and nothing new on the Eclipse site. Spine #414 is still open, so I suspect there will be more updates coming today. EDIT: Two-Lane Blacktop was just changed to #414, so that might be all we're getting for December (which is typically a light month for Criterion) FitFortDanga fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Sep 17, 2007 |

 Someone identified this clue as Cornel Wilde's The Naked Prey, a film I'm not familiar with.

I just have The Passion of Joan of Arc, M, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Notorious, The Third Man (SE), Seven Samurai (SE), Diabolique, Pickpocket, 8 1/2, F for Fake, By Brakhage, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic (2-disc). I used to own The Third Man (first edition), The Hidden Fortress, and the Brazil 3-disc (hoping to replace it with the remastered edition). I'd have to take out a loan to get all the other Criterions I want.

There were a bunch more I used to have (including many that are now OOP), but I trimmed down my collection a few years ago. I told myself that I would give every Criterion release a chance, but I can't bring myself to watch The King of Kings or Tanner '88, despite seeing them on the shelf at the library all the time.

Cacator posted:I don't like it when people have to mention a "director's cut," Gilliam's version was the one that was released and the one that everybody saw. Although different versions appear on TV (like the "My God, it works!" line) I think the director's cut is slightly different from the cut that got released/the cut on the bare-bones DVD.

People posting their Criterion collections? Please withhold laughter, I've got what I need the most. Though sadly very few of mine are of the re-printed with better transfer/more extras iterations (like Seven Samurai and such): Brazil (three disk) Eyes without a Face Jigoku Kagemusha Kwaidan M Ran RoboCop Samurai Trilogy (Musashi Miyamoto, Duel at Ichijochi Temple, Duel at Ganryu Island) Seven Samurai Stray Dog Sword of Doom Testament of Dr. Mabuse Throne of Blood Traffic Virgin Spring Wages of Fear Yojimbo Anyone on here order or know someone who actually got the Amazon/Criterion ultimate package?

My collection sadly does not measure up to the others, but to hell with it Brazil (3 disc, remastered,reloaded, whatever you want to call it) The Last Temptation of Christ Traffic Videodrome Yojimbo/Sanjoro (old ones) I think thats all of them. Will probably grab The Third Man at somepoint. Wish they'd do some more Hitchcock as well.

Why the hell not. Seven Samurai (single disc version (without the restoration feature) and the reissue) The Killer Hard Boiled The Seventh Seal Silence of the Lambs Robocop Armageddon Brazil (3-disc reissue) Sanjuro (original release) The Night Porter Life of Brian Chasing Amy Haxan The Cranes are Flying Royal Tenebaums Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Straw Dogs John Cassavetes: Five Films (Shadows, Faces, A Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Opening Night, and A Constant Forge) Kagemusha Sword of Doom Le Samourai And Videodrome, but someone's borrowing it and I'm too lazy to look up it's spine number  .Not a large collection, but it's still growing.

Half of my wish list is Criterions, but here's what I've got so far. Most of it's from that DVD Planet sale earlier this year. Been saving up for Jules and Jim, Playtime, Videodrome, and Pandora's Box, but those'll be a long long time. Seventh Seal Picnic at Hanging Rock Brazil (single disk anamorphic) Charade Third Man (single disk) Rushmore And God Created Woman Lady Eve M. Hulot's Holiday Haxan Royal Tenenbaums Hopscotch Contempt Schizopolis F for Fake Boudu Saved From Drowning Mr. Arkadin Kicking and Screaming Ace in the Hole Edit: So the moral of the story is that we all own Brazil.

Oh I forgot to add that I have the Criterion laserdisc releases of Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. I think I mentioned that before in here, but for those not familiar with them each disc has a commentary track of edited together interviews that isn't exactly politically correct. EON (the Bond studio) wanted them removed but Criterion balked- needless to say, Criterion will never get another Bond movie. From what I understand, they are also significant because they for the longest time the only widescreen releases of the three that were actually in the correct aspect ratio (allbeit letterbox). Some pearls of wisdom (Im gonna self censor both for plot and common decency): Cast members of Dr. No were local pot dealers who parlayed their success into a massive radio station (sold for a metric ton of money in the 80's), the producers basically became Sean Connery's bitch when it came to contract negotiations, (for those who didn't read the book) Pussy Galore is a lesbian, and Connery probably dated if not beded most of his Bond girls who weren't married. Yeah these 3 or Brazil would be considered my collection's crown jewels

I found this from dvdtalk's sale forum, Amazon has some ridiculous prices right now. I don't know if they're mistakes or a deal or what but, just in case, strike while they're hot... An Angel at My Table -14.40 Border Radio - $14.40 Canterbury Tale, A - 14.40 Equinox - 14.00 Flowers of St. Francis - $10.80 Green for Danger - 14.00 Jigoku - 10.00 Monsters and Madmen - $28.80 The Beales of Grey Gardens - $14.99 When a Woman Ascends The Stairs - 14.40 I couldn't pass up When a Woman Ascends the Stairs and The Flowers of St. Francis; after I get my paycheck on Sunday I may go back for more if it's still running.

I just checked those prices; Jigoku's been jacked back up to normal price apparently. When a Woman Ascends the Stairs is still at $14.40 so I grabbed that ASAP. Since Jigoku's already been changed, I suggest everyone jump this as soon as they can if they want any of those movies.

They have to as long as you physically clicked "submit" on the final review screen that had the lower price. Amazon claims its their super-duper protect the customer policy to ensure they get the lower price; in reality, if they didn't honor it they would be liable for a false advertisement/bait&switch investigation form the Better Business Burrow. There are exceptions to the rule (most of them perfectly reasonable), but this on the surface doesn't seem to be one. Amazon isn't Ebay- they have to follow actual laws you know.
