I mentioned this on the thread in the movie forum, but I'll be purchasing the Police Story set. Hopefully, this is the beginning of Criterion releasing more HK cinema in their collection.

Johnnie To could use some Criterion love.

One film specifically: THE MISSION

Regardless of all the other great ones in his filmography, before and after, that's the one that really boosted his name beyond Hong Kong and Hong Kong fan circles, mostly via a well-received performance on the festival circuit. His two earlier 1999 pictures (WHERE A GOOD MAN GOES and, to a lesser extent RUNNING OUT OF TIME) as well as his sole 1998 picture, the excellent A HERO NEVER DIES all represent the solidification of his French-noir visual style after years of often excellent but generally inconsistent fare, which to me would make it a prime candidate for Criterion.

It's been criminally treated on home video up to now.

Yeah, Bullet in the Head is good. But I don’t see any more Woo movies getting the Criterion treatment. But since they keep upgrading their DVD stuff, I’m hoping we’ll see Woo’s stuff re-released with some good restorations.

About eight months ago, we relaunched this website with a brand-new, mobile-friendly design, smoother e-commerce functionality, and a richer publishing environment for the Current. We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about the new site, along with a fair number of helpful critiques, feature requests, and suggestions for improvements. After the new site survived its first flash sale in October, we turned our attention to the inbox, and frequent visitors to Criterion.com may already have noticed some little changes taking effect over the past few days.

First off, we’ve made some changes to the navigation bar, which pops up when you click on the three lines at the top right of any page on the site. We’ve added links to each section of our shop page, and we’ve listed out some of the most popular categories on the Current, making it easier for you to navigate to what you’re looking for.

Some customers had trouble figuring out how to sign in and out of the site (it wasn’t that easy!), so we’ve added a convenient My Criterion icon to the top navigation (it looks like a little person). There you’ll find your account information, orders, wish list, and place to log in and out. Very soon you’ll also find “My Collection” there. Restoring the My Collection feature that allows users to track the Criterion editions they own was by far the top request from longtime customers. We are happy to report that the My Collection feature should be back online in the next few weeks, and any Criterion.com purchases you’ve made during the time My Criterion has been inactive should be reflected in your list.

What we won’t be restoring are the custom list features. After doing a deep dive into how much activity there was in the custom lists, the amount of spam and bot activity they invited, and the moderation they required, we struggled to justify bringing them back. At their best, the lists opened up new pathways in the collection and served a social function, but in the end we decided to leave that activity to other platforms, like Letterboxd, that are focused on social sharing, reviewing, and list-making. If you would like copies of your custom lists for your records, you can write to Jon Mulvaney ([email protected]) at any time and we will make arrangements.

Finally, we are retooling the search function of our site. The new search should be much snappier, and once it goes live you should have an easier time finding what you need on the site, navigating back to your search results, and clearly identifying which links lead to films and which lead to articles in the Current. Look for these and other changes to appear over the course of the month of February.

Should get to spine #1000 in a few months. DVD Spine #1 was released in 1999!

Anyone have any guess as to what title would be a good pick?
