Wow- I'm very happy to stand corrected; looks like they are getting individual releases. Very cool!
... unless those covers are just for separate DVD-only releases...

As long as I can separate the box and individually order them on my shelf, I'm happy.

I'm in for the Coward/Lean box-set (too bad they're not blu-rays), but I'll stick with my Temptation DVD for now.

Extras on The War Room:
Lean/Coward:
It's too bad none of the other Lean films are receiving commentaries, but this is a most-welcome set regardless. Letter Never Sent is bare-bones.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm very excited to finally be getting a box set - it seems like it's been quite a while since the last one. Anyway, I'm definitely in for the Lean set. I haven't seen the Kalatozov, but since I love The Cranes Are Flying and I Am Cuba I'll be buying it. It's always good to see more Russian films in the collection.
I don't much like the Scorsese, and I don't like any Titanic films, so I'll most likely be skipping those two.

The current disc of Thief looks horrible, so any upgrade would be a significant one.
