I'd really prefer we get some films that don't have releases....

The Uninvited (1944)

A Grigori Kozintsev Collection: (why is this guy completely ignored??)
Korol Lir (Kozintsev, 1969)
Gamlet (Kozintsev, 1964)
Don Kikhot (Kozintsev, 1957)
...and a fourth disc with extras and his armed forces films from WWII.

Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)

Personally, I rather like Anchor Bay's re-release of Sleuth, though it's OOP now. The long interview with Shaffer is fun.


But if I were Criterion, I'd try like hell to persuade Paramount, Warner, and Anchor Bay to give me if..., O Lucky Man!, and Britannia Hospital, respectively. That way, I could release a fantastic boxset of Lindsay Anderson's entire Mick Travis Trilogy!

Boys in the Band

Because I want it on DVD and because I'd love to see the extras Criterion could collect. Commentary by Mart Crowley would be awesome.

21 Grams because the DVD is barebones.
City of God deserves a 3-disc set.
La Dolce Vita, sorry but true.

The rest of Kurosawa's work.

Well, now my interest is peaked on "The Killing of America"..

I'll also say I'd love to see Criterion (or ANYONE for that matter) release "The Monster Squad". Thankfully I have a VHS of it I put onto DVD-R. Same for "Harry and the Hendersons" but I don't really think either movie would be Criterion material..

As for things I think they might actually be interested in, I'd love to see "Harlan County, USA" get a DVD release.
