Criterion Newsletter (Friends of Eddie Coyle)

The Friends of Eddie Coyle has already been confirmed. An underrated 70's gem with a wonderfully shopworn Mitchum. As a life-long Bostonian, I revere this film.

Great news! I've been wanting this for a long time. As they say in Boston: that's wicked pissah!

Holy Crap, I'm psyched for this. I absolutely love this movie. Bring on more '70s neo-noir & maybe criterion will eventually pick up my dream DVD release & put out Charley Varrick.

Great news for a great flick. :up:

Sounds like a good film, I'll check it out.

This post brings a tear to my eye. Really.

This movie is the textbook definition of "hidden gem". Awesome Mitchum and awesom-er old-school, pre-Young Frankenstein Peter Boyle, and one of the many great 70's crime films. Makes a great double/triple feature with The Yakuza and/or Joe. If you never saw this, you deeply owe it to yourself to check it out.

I was praying this would be released by Criterion. When I saw the hint (the Beantown thing was a giveaway), I suspected this was the film being hinted at, but now it's official.

I second Criterion to do Charley Varrick, obviously in widescreen. I have the fullscreen DVD now because I love it so much, but this clearly fulfills the Criterion criteria.

And I don't need a Blu-ray release to want Eddie Coyle. The sooner, the better.

I literally just downloaded Friends Of Eddie Coyle in the past week. That's so funny. Well now I'll see how good it is and if I like it...

I saw Charley Varrick on TMC one night last year and loved it. A Criterion version would be awesome.

You downloaded it from where? can this be downloaded legitimately? Or are you just casually admitting to breaking federal law?

Amazon Unbox and iTunes have it available.

When a film is commercially unavailable, it resides in a gray market area and without providing a feasible alternative avenue, consumers will find a way to procure what they want. Look at my sig and click on my dvds. I buy a lot of them, more than most (not counting people around here) and given availability I will buy or rent a title, but if there is no other option, I will try and see the film however I can.
