L'Age d'Or was announced last year (I forget by who... Kino?), and was then subjected to a series of delays. I dunno what the status of this one is now.

A Koch-Lorber rep let on in another thread that they were working on "Los Olvidados" (you may have the Films-sans-frontieres DVD already).

Criterion holds rights to more Bunuel films, as I understand it, but no new announcements.

From what I had last heard it was supposed to come out sometime late 2004. Hopefully that is still the case. This is a movie I have been waiting for to show up on DVD since I bought my first one.

I would think the double bill L'Age d'Or/Un Chien Andula is still making the art theatre run and that later in the year, they might get released on DVD (of course I am just speculating here).

Both films on a single DVD release would be ideal. Hell, throw "Las Hurdes" on there, too!

I've heard that The Milky Way is coming from Criterion sometime later this year or early next year.

I suspect Criterion has rights to "Phantom". It's hard to say which film I'm anticipating most... maybe "The Milky Way".

EDIT: I hope it's a good omen that the very moment I posted my desire for "The Milky Way" it's also posted as being a Criterion possibility!

In Kino's catalog they have L'Age D'Or set for "Fall 2004". They have Un Chien Andalou with Las Hurdes, but it's on expensive VHS.

Rialto Pictures re-released The Milky Way and The Phantom of Liberty theatrically and Criterion handles their home video releases, so it's only a matter of time.

The Milky Way (La Voie lactée) is being released next month in the UK as part of a boxset.

According to an email from Kino, L'Age Dor is slated for November 9, but they do not own the DVD rights to either Un Chien Andalou or Las Hurdes.

Criterion has stated that they are releasing some Bunuel later this year - and since they have the rights to The Miky Way and The Phantom of Liberty, I assume it'll be those titles.
