Thanks :3 The quality of the transfer is top notch, it's probably the best it's going to look since it's a film from the 70s (underexposed with a lot of push processing). The extras I haven't taken a look at but they seem pretty extensive. Hector Beerlioz posted:Does it have a reverseable cover like the Argentos? Yes.

Finally finished going through the Drew Associates Kennedy films. While Adventures in the New Frontier was kind of boring, the rest of the films are riveting, especially Crisis. It covers the situation with George Wallace halting the de-segregration of University of Alabama when its first African-American students arrive (Vivian Malone and James Hood). To see JFK and Bobby Kennedy at work is exhilarating. These are two brilliant strategists with charisma to get the right thing done. Then you see Wallace, who comes off as a piece of poo poo. Yet the film is more than fair. But it's really awful to see that little has changed in over 50 years (of course Wallace drops the religion card). Still need to go through the rest of the extras, but there's a lengthy collection of outtakes from Crisis (with a long intro) and a 90s Q&A with Robert Drew and others (D.A. Pennebaker, Albert Maysles, and Richard Leacock).

Only Angels Have Wings was a great movie that looks fantastic for something made in 1939.

I'd say that it's neat that Coppola is finally in the collection, but his releases tend to be stellar. The Godfather Trilogy, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now are all Criterion-quality releases.Spatulater bro! posted:So these are identical to the set version, just made available separately? Seems like it since the page doesn't say anything like "BOX SET ONLY" in the extras like it does for Easy Rider or Five Easy Pieces, which are slightly different from the BBS set versions.

Just give us the rest of Tarkovsky's oeuvre already. My short Criterion Blu ray wish list is The Devils, The Great Silence, and a Zulawski box set.

If we're getting into Criterion hopes and dreams, which I'm all for, my biggest hope is Altman's California Split. There isn't a readily available Blu Ray and the DVD is (I think) OOP. Music rights have been a problem...but man, this movie needs a proper release. I'd also like The Long Goodbye, but there's also a Kino Lorber release from a couple years back...so that ain't happening. For non-Altman, I want Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead. No really good edition...past relationship with Scorsese...it's an underrated gem! Let's do this!

Napoleon was my dream Criterion, though the BFI release more than makes up for that. I'm 99% sure Criterion will end up handling the newer Zoetrope/Cinemateque restoration, though. I'd love to see Criterion get some golden age animation like the Tex Avery cartoons or even some of Disney's stuff. Disney would be easy since they have 4K masters of every short film they ever made. Avery is really missed considering the only DVD release was a compilation of Droopy cartoons, most of which were from laserdisc-era transfers.

I wish Criterion had more animated stuff in general. Right now all we have are Fantastic Planet, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Watership Down, right? Any of Bill Plympton or Sylvain Chomet's films would be right at home in the collection.
