Dead Man is totally worth checking out if you're a Jarmusch fan. It's a one of JJ's best. There's an existing blu-ray that's available for under $9, that is a very good transfer. I will upgrade if there's significant extras, which I'm guessing there will be from Criterion.

A work print version of NOTLD?! Love it!
Only downside is that Criterion's version doesn't come with the "One For The Fire" documentary. Maybe I need the Japanese Blu Ray too, but I'm stoked

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I compared Silence to all the previous releases on DVD and Blu-ray, and it looks like it contains substantially most of the previous bonus material.
It includes the commentary, and some deleted scenes that were exclusive to the previous Criterion DVD release.
It looks like it might be missing the material from the "Breaking the Silence" picture-in-picture supplement, which had new interview material in 2009. It might also be missing outtakes and the Hopkins phone call, though those might be included in the "Deleted scenes" section.

NOTLD and Lambs in the same month, I'm down for both.
Never heard of the Anubis version before, has that ever been mentioned?

Silence of the Lambs, no brainer. That cover is fantastic. However, I probably will keep my Criterion dvd (missing supplements) and MGM Blu-Ray (it's part of a box set w/Hannibal and Red Dragon). The next Criterion flash sale can't get here soon enough.
