Hopefully this isn't clutter in the thread and if it is, I will promptly delete it...but can anyone name anything you'd label as a "Must-have" Criterion BD? - I did just order, Yojimbo/Sanjuro, Gomorrah, and Walkabout for my first Criterions ever. I'd appreciate any direction whatsoever.

Perfect, I wanted to see Chunking Express. However, Repulsion and Wings of Desire have always both sounded interesting. I think I might also throw Kagemusha into the group and then decide what I want to buy...or might come up with more money for.

This whole list is awesome. I want all of them, but Seven Samurai, House, and Darjeeling first.

I was hoping for Anti Christ in October but I guess not and wasn't Fish Tank suppose to come out in the fall too?

They prompted some speculation with a screenshot of Fish Tank a few months ago, but they haven't offered any other hints or a date yet. It's an IFC title, so we should be seeing it released from Criterion sometime in the near future.

There's still a lot of stuff more or less confirmed, whether all of this makes it BD remains to be seen:
Night of the Hunter, Cronos, Y Tu Mama Tambien (I think Criterion said via Facebook that Curon's schedule has been tight, so this is on hold), Antichrist, Following, the Rafelson/New Hollywood set, Fish Tank, Still Walking, Sweet Smell of Success, Senso and Broadcast News.

And Grindhouse.
Sheesh! And to think I was complaining about a lack of titles so far this year.

Definitely getting Seven Samurai and Paths of Glory. I liked Darjeeling but can wait for a sale, and The Magician is one of Bergman's weaker films, IMO. I've not heard of House. I've heard of an 80's horror comedy called House, but I doubt this is it.
