The Man Who Fell to Earth - Criterion Collection
I saw the DVD at BB today. What a gorgeous set! The packaging is similar to the Videodrome Criterion except the box is wider to accommodate a novel.
I don't know much about the movie but the Criterion packaging looks tempting...

On the other hand, Anchor Bay gave the movie Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 remixes, while Criterion has opted to include only the original Dolby Surround mix in DD 2.0. Again, the Criterion disc was supervised and approved by Nicholas Roeg. The Anchor Bay disc was not.

Think of the Jaws 30th anniv edition packaging, with a double alpha case instead of a regular one, and a better box.

Why does it always have to be difficult? The better video transfer with original sound and those supplements or the surround mix and the AB supplements? My collection takes up too much space as it is; having 2 copies of movies is getting too hard.
