Meh.

Double-meh.

I'll pick up Three Outlaw Samurai, that's about it

maybe Anatomy of a Murder for me...that's it this month

I've only seen Anatomy of a Murder.

I'll hand it to Criterion, though - they inspire me to watch movies I possibly wouldn't watch otherwise.

Vanya on 42nd street was actually a top notch movie. I saw that in the theater.

Very excited about Anatomy of a Murder and will likely also grab Three Outlaw Samurai. Tiny Furniture does nothing for me and I will see about Vanya and World on a Wire.

I'm meh on the reissue of La Jetee and Sans Soleil due to the fact that the dvd is already anamorphic and looks good, and there are a good number of titles that need to be reissued due to the original releases not having anamorphic transfers (like Autumn Sonata, Picnic at Hanging Rock, or And the Ship Sails On) or in some cases the transfers where just not that great (like the Samurai Trilogy).

A pretty good month, with two that I'll want to have immediately (Anatomy of a Murder, World on a Wire), and one other that I'll get at the next B&N sale (Three Outlaw Samurai.) Vanya is fantastic, but since I already own the Sony DVD I probably won't upgrade for a while. I'm sure I'll rent Tiny Furniture, but pretty much everything I've read about it makes me think I'll dislike it.

Still, I'm disappointed every time there's a new announcement and it doesn't include a boxset, since it's been a surprisingly long time since they've released a non-Eclipse set. They apparently have quite a few in the pipeline - the Koker trilogy, the Apu trilogy, Wenders' Road Movie trilogy, Ingrid Bergman/Roberto Rossellini trilogy, etc. - and any one of those would automatically make for a fantastic month.At this point in time I'm not buying many upgrades of films that I already have on DVD, but I do make exceptions for re-releases of some of their earliest, surprisingly low-quality spines (like the two Suzukis) and hopefully some of those you mentioned. The aforementioned Suzuki upgrades, the Fuller upgrades, the Diabolique upgrade, etc. make me hopeful that they're planning to eventually upgrade all of those earlier releases that they still have the rights to.

It'll be a great day when I can finally upgrade Andrei Rublev, my all-time favorite film, from the original mediocre non-anamorphic DVD to an anamorphic Blu-ray. (I realize that there's a Russian BD of the film available, but it's apparently a different cut of the film.)

in for Vanya on 42nd Street and possibly Tiny Furniture and Anatomy of a Murder once then next sale goes down

I'm excited for Anatomy of a Murder and I might look into Three Outlaw Samurai, but that's it, other than a rental of World on a Wire.

Looks great! I'm in for all of them. But I always buy all of them...

I'm really excited for Anatomy Of A Murder and World On A Wire...

Hooray for Gosha! And Anatomy too. Need to look up World on a Wire, Tiny Furniture and Vanya.

Amazon currently has a price mistake on Anatomy of a Murder and World on a Wire. You can preorder both for $16.99 each.

It would be nice if Criterion mixed in must-haves into at least half of their grouped releases. This last bunch is one big MEH.

pre-ordered! thank you

Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully they won't cancel like with Silent Running.

Wow great catch on those! Got my pre-order in.

Also, Three Outlaw Samurai is currently at $20.99, which isn't a steal, but cheap enough for me.

I placed an order for Anatomy of a Murder, but I am expecting it to be cancelled.

Pre-ordered

I doubt these will be cancelled. I've often had the situation, several times with Marvel Omnibuses, where they put a lower MSRP at first so it has a better discount. Later they adjust, but I"ve always received them for the price I ordered at. I'd imagine the same here.

went ahead and pre-ordered ANATOMY...

Wow! Thank you very much for sharing. I just pre-ordered both of them. And I see no reason why Amazon wouldn't honor these orders. It would surprise me if they cancelled them.

I'm surprised this hasn't been corrected yet - as I'm assuming the preorders are coming in like mad this morning
