How many Criterion laserdiscs were there?
Does anybody know off hand how many LDs Criterion released before the death of them? I was curious to see a number in terms of relating it to how many Criterion DVDs there are.

For anyone who is curious, here is the full list. What a shame that Criterion will never be able to release even half of these on DVD (many studios which were willing to sell rights to their films for the laserdisc market would rather produce their own releases for the DVD market: this includes Warner, MGM/UA, Columbia Tristar, Paramount, etc.).

Yeah, its not so bad about the movies that got got great treatment from other companies like Boogie Nights and Seven but movies such as Chungking Express, Fellini Satryricon, Annie Hall, and lots of others that Criterion could do tons better.

Yeah, the number of films on LD by criterion will sadly never make it to dvd in that format simply because of the whole marketing and ease of production for a dvd opposed to a LD. some great stuff there.. not to mention the extra's are Criterion Exclusive.. so unless the studio's are willing to buy it back.. they will only have those extra's on the LD.

I don't remember the last Woody Allen DVD w/ extras on it. You don't need a commentary soundtrack on it either 'cause Woody talks directly to the audience half of the time anyway. I don't give a rat's ass if Woody Allen's movies come w/ stereo soundtrack. Although I would like them to have better picture quality.
