Only 4 for Dec?

New Godzilla movie comes out on May 31st. Any guesses to when we see that Criterion Showa set?

December's always been light - sometimes they have just one or two for the month.

24 Frames
Abbas Kiarostami
Spine 956
January 8

Notorious
Alfred Hitchcock
Spine 137
January 15

Mikey and Nicky
Elaine May
Spine 957
January 22

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Cristian Mungiu
Spine 958
January 22

In the Heat of the Night
Norman Jewison
Spine 959
January 29

4 Months!? YES!!!!!

I wonder if Spellbound will be Feb?

I wonder what spine #1000 will be.

Will probably be random. Nothing will beat The Devil's Backbone being # 666.

Also: Heavy rumor that the flash sale will be this week. Keep eyes open!

I fucking LOVE the Notorious cover...



It'll be my 3rd or 4th time buying this movie, but I don't care, it's one of my favorites!

Is that Vantablack?

in for Heat of Night and 4 Months...

Stoked for Notorious and Mikey & Nicky. Hopefully Husbands and Minnie & Moskowitz aren't far behind. (I know M&N is an Elaine May film, but it feels like a Cassavetes original.)

I will keep buying Notorious no matter how many times it gets re-released. That cover is amazing. I'm super excited for In The Heat of the Night too.

Good to see another excellent HVE title being released. Now if we can only have Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure, I'd be a happy camper.

Well, that didn't last long.

At least I no longer have to lament its absence of availability in Canada.

They should try and get some kind of deal with Netflix. Netflix used to have a "classic film" option but they removed it last year, probably because they only had a few films on it.

This! Everyone has it. It will expose people to some consistently good movies, too, of course.

I agree, for the U.S. However, it would likely just be another way in which Canadians wouldn't have access to the content.

We have a subscription channel, here (Hollywood Suite), which does make some Criterion films available via streaming and broadcast. However, it is not very extensive.

In all likelihood, that would negate any possibility of having them on Netflix, here.

We're talking about it here along with other options to get us by.

Drawing from the latest email, spoilered for size:



It's gotta be Hair, right?

No.

Let the Sunshine In - Claire Denis. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6423776/

Damn. Honestly, I'd rather it be Hair. I didn't know that the Denis film even existed.

Yes!

Anything by Claire Denis is always welcome.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN is a very good movie. Check it out when you have a chance, a sort of romantic comedy about being alone.

And, Juliette Binoche is never a bad thing...
