What movie will Criterion #500?
 

Criterion's latest announcement included Last Days of Disco at #485 We may still be a few months off before #500 So, any guesses? Think Criterion will make a big deal out of it or treat it like just another release?

For the record:

#1 Grand Illusion
#100 Beastie Boys Video Anthology
#200 The Honeymoon Killers
#300 The Life Aquatic
#400 Stranger Than Paradise

Merry Christmas Mr. LAwrence?
just a guess.

Just another release.
I could tell you what I wish it would be, but there is no way I could fathom a guess as to what it actually will be.

It's going to be Odd Man Out or The Red Desert.

This was my first thought even before I entered the thread ...

Here's my completely arbitrary, uneducated guess: Hausu.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?

The Reflecting Skin
Underground
The Cement Garden

Same here. You would think the artwork would be up by now.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

I'm thinking "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie"......

Rhinestone!

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

I love that movie!! A Criterion edition would be awesome.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

I've think we can narrow it down to one of these five:

#1 Grand Illusion --> #500 Lord of Illusions
#100 Beastie Boys Video Anthology --> #500 Oakridge Boys Video Anthology
#200 The Honeymoon Killers --> #500 Haunted Honeymoon
#300 The Life Aquatic --> #500 Aquaman (Pilot)
#400 Stranger Than Paradise --> #500 Stranger Than Fiction

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

Also, the Cassavetes box set was #250

I would like #500 to be the Eisenstein silent film set that was first mentioned quite a long time ago.

The Limey (Criterion Collection)...has a nice ring.

Good Burger will always be Criterion #0 in my heart.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

I actually would like to see a Criterion edition of Stranger than Fiction.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

even though i loved the movie, i don't really think of it as Criterion-worthy. maybe it's just me.

then again, they did put out such mediocrity as Armageddon, The Rock, The Life Aquatic, and The Ice Storm

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

The Thin Red Line - director's cut. 3 discs.

Re: What movie will Criterion #500?
 

If it wasn't listed here as an idea, I would never have thought of it. But I enjoyed it as much as Truman Show.

The Life Aquatic belongs in the Criterion Collection, IMHO.
