It's probably been said numerous times by now but where the hell is Ghostbusters II already? The original has been out for a long time and already had the 4K re-release even so it must have sold decently. I'm sure the second would be a good seller too if it was put out.

Found this image on someone's Pinterest page with little info about it.
One can only hope it's leaked cover art for a future release and not just a fan mock-up.
FYI, I've yet to find any sort of official Criterion announcement about this one.

Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot. The picture on the DVD is pretty good, but the sound is bad. The sound on the old VHS is richer in detail.
And PLEAAASE! NO teal and orange!

What is unique about Hooper's Salem's Lot? You get three guesses. . . .
What's unique about it, is that the actors are acting out as if all is happening for real. No other film does that to the same extent.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
Has anyone heard any rumors of The Girl Can't Help It, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, One, Two, Three (the James Cagney/Billy Wilder film), and Bad Day at Black Rock being brought to Blu-ray? I checked DVDAF and none of these titles are out of print, but I'm having trouble finding DVD versions of them, with the exception of Bad Day at Black Rock.
Also, back in 2013 (seems like late summer) The Digital Bits posted a rumor Kino would be bringing Orson Welles' The Trial to Blu-ray at some point, but I haven't heard anything since. Did anyone else hear about this?

Sooooooo, . . . WHEN will we see The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and Song of the South released (on Blu-ray or DVD)?? *SIGH*
The DVD era was good at releasing all kinds of rare movies (except for the three above). But with the entrance of Blu-ray, enthusiasm seems suddenly to have grown stale and jaded. Maybe the Internet have transformed the brain into a too short attention span for watching movies.

Mine are all in my sig
Most wanted BD: Armageddon, BTTF trilogy, DaVinci Code, Die Hard 4(R rated version), Gettysburg, Greatest Game Ever Played, Grosse Pointe Blank, Honeymoon in Vegas, Jurassic Park, Memphis Belle, Midway, Pearl Harbor (R rated version), Planes,Trains and Automobiles, Raiders 1 and 3, Stripes, Sleepless in Seattle, Star Wars, Saving Private Ryan, Tin Cup, True Lies, While You Were Sleeping.
My list was not neccessarily my all-time favorite movies, but several that I or the family like and have never gotten past the early release blues; non-anamorphic, not 5.1 sound, bare bones crappola. I'd rather upgrade one of those than one I already have a decent SE version of.
Still hoping to some day get an R Rated Die Hard 4
the unrated Pearl Harbor
Sleepless in Seattle for less than $50
several others still in my sig.
Decided I didn't need to own Davinci code or Star Wars
Memphis Belle and Big Red 1 for Father Day

I'll echo the calls for Salem's Lot. I think Warner would do surprisingly well with that one. Unfortunately they are reissuing it on MOD through the Archive which would likely siphon off what could have been Bd sales.
It's a shame HBO controls films like The Changeling (1980). They don't seem to have any enthusiasm in exploiting catalog like that and they don't seem to license stuff, as far as I know. I'd bet more than a couple smaller labels would love to put it out.
riotinmyskull- Prime Cut is available on a region free disc in Germany. I heard something about the rights situation that made me believe it might be a while before someone releases it here.
Terrier- When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth came out on a double feature DVD with the , even worse, Moon Unit Zero about 6 or 7 years ago. They pulled it early I think because like the Swamp Thing situation, it contained nudity that conflicted with the rating on the case. It was going for big bucks when I sold it and I'm surprised it hasn't come out via the Archive since then.
here's a few I'm chomping at the bit for (but don't expect to see anytime soon)

I remember Hardcore from HBO eons ago. That was one depressing movie. In fact a familiar ring with the thread in Other about a chick who did amateur porn then killed herself.

Hardcore really goes off the rails at the end and becomes quite silly. But it has several qualities/thematic conflicts I love. And it's basically another variation of The Searchers. Great performances by Scott, Boyle, Kurt Russell's ex-wife, and even Dick Sargent.
It's a Sony title and like Shampoo (another I would love to see), and The Last Detail, I'm a little surprised it hasn't been released by now. It's something I could see TT releasing, but definitely not Criterion (though both Shampoo and TLD would be a good fit there).
A few others I just remembered I would dearly love
...aw hell, I could go on for hours.

I know it's not a good film and definitely doesn't hold a candle to the Hitchcock original, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Van Sant Psycho hit Blu-ray.

I just mentioned this in the Lake Placid thread, but Alligator and Them! really need to get the blu ray treatment (and some TLC needs to be applied to these films, like the care Lifeforce received from Shout).

I'd love to have some of the lesser known Hitchcock: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Lifeboat, Suspicion, The Paradine Case, Stage Fright...
