Ghost World is one of my favorite films. I would kill for a Criterion Blu-ray.

I haven't watched Ghost World since the year it came out... I remember liking it. I'd definitely pick it up.

Ghost World seems like an ideal candidate for a Criterion release. It was generally well-regarded by critics and has a cult following. Yet it wouldn't be a big seller, so the studio (MGM) wouldn't have a strong desire to keep it for itself.

What happened to Thora Birch, anyway?

Actually saw Ghost World for the first time a few weeks back. I'd be up for a Criterion BD version.

Criterion will bankrupt me by year's end.

I love that Antichrist cover. I'm so glad I didn't buy the UK release. Anyone know the release date?

Totally amazing month. I actually happened to be on Criterion's site as they were updating one title at a time, every time I reloaded I would gasp!

I know all those titles have been announced already, but it's still damn amazing.

Amazing month! I am definitely in for the BBS Story. I might wait on Chaplin (wondering if they will release a box set down the line of all of their acquisitions?)

Amazing month! Most excited for Modern Times.

Wow, thank you Criterion, I will now be officially broke during the November sale.

The BBS Story set looks kind of cool, I am only familiar with Easy Rider, so that will be a blind buy for me. Night of The Hunter on the other hand, is on the top of the list. I cannot wait for that one (:fingercrossed: Cape Fear :fingerscrossed: ).

On a related note, doesn't Criterion own all the Chaplin films now?

I can go without seeing Antichrist again, which was worth one screening but not something I'd care to revisit again. Everything else, however, is essential. :up::up:

Definitely going to pick up The Night of the Hunter and perhaps Modern Times (which would be my first Charlie Chaplin film). Still iffy on Antichrist - not into horror films, but I'm extremely curious about this one in particular.

I recommend everyone to watch this on Netflix Instant, if they have the ability to do so. It's a powerful and unsettling film with some nerve-searing imagery, but might just be worth the one shot for a few particularly shiver-worthy scenes.

Great, great month.

And to the above poster, I wouldn't classify Antichrist as pure horror, it's so much more.

I was under the impression that it would be coming out in December (forget where I read that, might have been when Seven Samurai was going to come out then...).

Surprised to see America Lost and Found is reasonably priced by Critierion standards. I was uncommitted when it was rumored, but I'll happily add that to my November Barnes and Noble list, along with NoTH and Modern Times.

Very glad to see Charles Laughton Directs “The Night of the Hunter,” a two-and-a-half-hour archival treasure trove of outtakes from the film, on the NoTH release.

In addition to what everyone else is saying, it's nice to see another straight month of all Blu-ray releases.

So was that just a rumor Ghostworld would be coming to Criterion? I love that movie.

Also when are we gonna see Ghost Dad getting the CC treatment?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Night of the Hunter, finally! A higher price point, but it's got at least four hours of extras, so I can't complain. In for Modern Times and the BBS box as well. The latter is a MAJOR bargain - 9 discs for under 50 bucks during the assumed B & N sale.
