They both fit nicely on one disc, so why not?

Just guessing.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Those two are lesser known and certainly less respected than the other films of the set and instead of producing extensive supplements unique to those films they used the disc space to throw both of them on one disc as a kind of double feature. IMO both of them are interesting but ultimately lousy as movies so it makes sense to me.

DVD Beaver on Army of Shadows and Robinson Crusoe on Mars

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

..I...I totally read that as Army of Darkness and got excited and freaked out wondering how the fuck they got that film..lol..then I reread and got sad.....

Get to work sleuths!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The reference to "La Boca Del Cielo" has to be Cuaron's "Y Tu Mama Tambien".

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

This is a complete guess but I'm hoping that the globe is in regards to "The Great Dictator" release. The rest of the clues I defer to the Criterion and movie experts on this board.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Is that Where the Wild Things Are? And Seven Year Itch?

What about the guy chained to the boat. Reminds me of Woody Allen, but I can't really place the outfit with any of his films.

And I suppose that's Wild Strawberries in there too.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Briefcase with light coming out = Pulp Fiction?
Strawberries = Wild Strawberries?
Guy with gun = Carlos?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Is the Sunday in a red circle "Sunday Bloody Sunday"?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Boat = "The Life Aquatic"?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Strong slate of guesses posted over at Criterion Cast: http://criterioncast.com/2011/01/01/...e-of-releases/

Looks like Solaris and Wild Strawberries are pretty much sure things, along with Carlos and Kuroneko (which, by the way, :drool:).

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I see possibly Wild Strawberries (would make me really happy on blu)

A knife going into coffee... Twin Peaks?

And what looks to be a person in a bear costume about to get shot... Wicker Man remake.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

double post.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Super glad that Solaris, Wild Strawberries and Y Tu Mama Tambien are coming soon!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Agreed. Though none of those are really surprising much like the rest of the list.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Isnt that Ghost Dog at the steering wheel?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I see Solaris (space station), Cul De Sac (man tied to boat), Y Tu Mama Tambien (beach sign), Wild Strawberries (the strawberries), Kiss Me Deadly (briefcase with light) and Carlos (man with gun).

Rest I'm not sure about.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Einstein/Monroe is definitely Insignificance.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

wish there was a BRUTE FORCE or LA HAINE reference...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Wild Strawberries on BD is a definite purchase for me. Probably my favorite Bergman... and that's saying a lot.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I know this is in the link, but I've looked around at tons of speculation from Facebook, Criterion Cast, Criterion Forum, here, etc. and I'm going to list what current speculation is saying for all of these. So here goes:

-Space Station = Solaris (obviously upgraded to Blu)
-Patch of Strawberries = Wild Strawberries (Upgrade To Blu)
-Man with glasses and wrapped head on side of boat = Polanski's Cul-De-Sac
-Shining Briefcase = Kiss Me Deadly :D
-Man with gun = Carlos
-Ghost Cat = Kuroneko (Please let this mean we'll get an upgraded Onibaba!)
-Globe = The Great Dictator
-Einstein/Monroe mash-up = Nicholas Roeg's Insignifigance
-Calendar = Sunday, Bloody Sunday
-Can of coffee & blade = ??? - the consensus seems to be White Material (the
suggestion of Jarmusch's Coffee & Cigarettes and Ghost Dog would make me
happy though)
-Woman dancing=?
-Spanish sign = Y Tu Mama Tambien
-Head in water = Diabolique
-Kid with Pillow = Zero For Conduct
-Boat = ??? (many think it is Vigo's L'Atalante to go with Zero For Conduct)
-Splashing water = ??? (could be Breaking The Waves)
-Snow & Stars = ??? (could be the Ice Storm, but the snow isn't heavy so
???)

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Only its not the right type of boat (ocean liner) for L'Atalante.
Im starting the think the other guesses for 'Life Aquatic' may be correct.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

While the Y Tu Mama Tambien DVD was already a pretty good release, I'm looking forward to Criterion's release, if only because we know we'll see a Blu-Ray release...

I've also kept putting off getting Solaris for some time, looks like my patience will be rewarded...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'm in for at least "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "The Great Dictator" on Blu-ray (hopefully).

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Assuming the snow and the stars are two different movies, I wonder if the falling snow could be Snow Falling on Cedars. A Criterion BD would be a nice showcase of the fantastic cinematography.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

what's the story on the studio canal films that CC has...did SC take the rest back or what?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Once Criterion's licenses expire, they will revert back to Studio Canal.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The problem with Snow Falling on Cedars is that while it is a beautiful movie, the storytelling style makes it nearly incoherent.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I saw Kuroneko the other night and thought it was fantastic. Very excited to pick that one up.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'll be upgrading.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I thought about that at first, but then remembered that Criterion has quite a few stinkers in the collection already. Snow Falling on Cedars wouldn't be the worst film in the collection.

A stinker in the Criterion Collection?! Sacre Bleu!!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'm watching "Delicatessen" now on BD via netflix and they had an intro for other Studio Canal BD's coming out in 2010. Some of the titles were "Belle de Jour", "The Deer Hunter" and "The Elephant Man". I never read about these coming out soon and it's now 2011. Any info?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

They were released in Europe.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Thanks for that quick response. Is there a list of these films released only in Europe (so far)?

Never thought I'd see the day that The Naked Kiss was on Blu-ray, but I'm a happy man. Here's the DVD Beaver review. Can't wait for Shock Corridor.
