Love that new Seventh Seal cover. Definite buy from me.
I hope Criterion puts out a few Melville titles on BD. I'd love Le Samourai or Le Cercle Rouge.

"Benjamin Button" DVD will be in stores May 5 (Reuters)
: Reuters Wed Mar 18, 2009, 11:15 pm EDT
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - " The Curious Case of Benjamin Button " will keep retailers curious no longer: "Button" DVDs will hit stores May 5.
The "Button" plans were sewed up during the weekend, and Paramount will announce the home-entertainment release date Thursday. The Brad Pitt / Cate Blanchett -starring film won three Academy Awards and is among the last of the high-profile Oscar pictures to set a debut on home video.
Fox Home Entertainment will release Oscar best picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire" on March 31.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment 's "Milk," for which Sean Penn copped a best actor statuette, hit retail shelves March 10. USHE has set an April 21 street date for its political drama "Frost/Nixon," which, like "Button" and "Milk," was a nominee for best picture.
The fifth nominee -- the Weinstein Co.'s Nazi-themed drama " The Reader ," for which Kate Winslet was voted best actress -- will be released by Genius Products on DVD. No date has been set.
Paramount Home Entertainment also set a June 2 release date for DVDs of two other Oscar-nominated pics: " Revolutionary Road ," starring Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio , and the Daniel Craig -toplined "Defiance."
In addition to its single-disc packaging, "Button" will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in two-disc Criterion Edition sets featuring more than three hours of special features. A documentary on the second disc follows the creative development of the literary adaptation and its many production challenges, including the elaborate, Oscar-winning visual effects.
Single-disc "Button" DVDs will sell for $29.99 in the U.S. and $36.99 in Canada. Two-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets will be priced at $39.99 in the U.S. and $45.99 in Canada.
