I don't think Criterion would ever, and I mean ever, associate the country Hungary with the word "hungry".

FWIW, Colin Cowherd's favorite movies:

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Platoon
3. Silence of the Lambs
4. The Shining
5. The Usual Suspects
6. Wall Street
7. Goodfellas
8. Apollo 13
9. Terms of Endearment
10. Presumed Innocent

Eh, I guess it's none of those either.

Top Secret? Maybe if one was feeding or had boots on.

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

Is it confirmed that the Three Colors Trilogy will be part of the sale - and get the reduced price? What's the time span of the B&N sale?

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

Apparently Nov. 1st through the 22nd. With every sale in the past, any title released during the sale is valid, including preorders for anything coming out over the next few weeks.

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

I'm disappointed 12 Angry Men won't be included, but it looks like - gasp! - Netflix will actually be carrying it, so I'll at least be able to watch the film and the extras.

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

Went to my local B&N store yesterday and had them set aside a copy of Dazed and Confused. I also put my name in for the Three Colors Trilogy.

Now to decide what else to get...

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

Criterion's Facebook page posted this clue for the upcoming Feb 2012 announcements:



Any ideas?

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

Rocco and His Brothers?

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

Cyrano de Bergerac?

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

Most likely A Man Escaped.

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

would love to get that although I hope its much better looking than the french blu.

This screengrab from Chris Marker's Sans Soleil was posted on Facebook:

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

Damn. Not too thrilled about Sans Soleil.

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

I'm assuming La Jetee will be included again? Either way, it's an intriguing documentary/visual essay, but not one I feel the need to upgrade.

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

No need to upgrade and weren't we supposed to get Grin Without a Cat?

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

Sucks for you.

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

I greatly preferred La Jetee but I doubt I'll be upgrading it anytime soon.

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

dvdbeaver on 12 ANGRY MEN

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

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

That actually makes me more depressed that I can't get it during this sale.

*sigh*

I'm getting Fanny & Alexander and the Three Colors Trilogy, though, so I can't complain too much.

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

Rushmore from DVDBeaver

Interesting to see additional info on the right side.

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

I own probably about a dozen Criterion, but honestly...I am not seeing where the blu-ray is a huge improvement over the 50th anniversary dvd (which I own). It is certainly an improvement over the other dvd editions but not so much the 50th. Small improvement I'll go along with, but there isn't a real wow factor among the screenshots.

Plus, the blu-ray doesn't have the awesome commentary (but arguarbly makes up with a ton of other supplemental material) either which means I would have to keep the dvd (and I don't believe Criterion makes 2-disc blu cases :)). I dunno, great movie, just not feeling this edition.

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

I thought that the grain was much more evident in the Criterion caps.

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

Why aren't any of the advanced reviews discussing the "directors cut"? I'm starting to think that was a mistake on Criterion's website and there have been no changes.

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

Looks sharpers that for sure. Skin texture is more evident as well. I'm loving it.

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

By no means as accurate as direct captures from the 50th Anniversary Edition scaled but the following are DVDBeaver's captures for it resized. Compare these full size to the full size BD captures and it should at least yield a more noticeable difference.

Any updates regarding Nolan's Following? I thought that was in the pipeline some time ago...

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

As was Y Tu Mama Tambien and a few other IFC titles.

Blu-ray.com review of Fanny and Alexander

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

Well, Y Tu Mama Tambien was hinted at in the big 2011 clue that Criterion sent out, although it seems it'll be sometime in 2012 (at the earliest).

Following hasn't been mentioned since that initial announcement. As much as I'd like to see it released, so that all of Nolan's films will be available on Blu-Ray, I don't imagine it's as high on Criterion's list as other releases...

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

via hints from Twitter - it looks like these are some of what we'll see announced today...

Vanya on 42nd
Anatomy of a Murder
Three Outlaw Samurai
Tiny Furniture
World on a Wire

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

So many sales have gone by where I've wanted to pick up Anatomy Of A Murder. But I've always held out hoping Sony would see the light and release this either on Bd or at least matted to the more traditional theatrical ratio (which has been the case with oversees DVD releases and where the framing looks to my eyes, much better).
The Criterion release will be very much appreciated.

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

super excited for Anatomy of a Murder and World on a Wire.

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

I think it would made sense for Criterion to release Following around the summer release date for The Dark Knight Rises.

Meh.

Double-meh.

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

I'll pick up Three Outlaw Samurai, that's about it

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

maybe Anatomy of a Murder for me...that's it this month
