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...

I don't think they are. I think these are the covers to the digipacks

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:

- New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by directors D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
- Return of the War Room, a 2008 documentary in which advisers James Carville, George Stephanopoulos, and Paul Begala and others reflect on the effect the Clinton war room had on the way campaigns are run
- Making “The War Room,” a conversation between the filmmakers about the difficulties of shooting in the campaign’s fast-paced environment
- Panel discussion hosted by the William J. Clinton Foundation and featuring Carville, Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan, journalist Ron Brownstein, and surprise guest Bill Clinton
- Interview with strategist Stanley Greenberg on the increasing importance of polling
- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by writer Louis Menand
Lean/Coward:

- New high-definition digital transfers of the BFI National Archive’s 2008 restorations, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-ray editions
- Audio commentary on Brief Encounter by film historian Bruce Eder
- New interviews with Noël Coward scholar Barry Day on all of the films
- Interview with cinematographer-screenwriter-producer Ronald Neame from 2010
- Short documentaries from 2000 on the making of In Which We Serve and Brief Encounter
- David Lean: A Self Portrait, a 1971 television documentary on Lean’s career
- Episode of the British television series The Southbank Show from 1992 on the life and career of Coward
- Audio recording of a 1969 conversation between Richard Attenborough and Coward at London’s National Film Theatre
- Trailers
- PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by Ian Christie, Terrence Rafferty, Farran Nehne, Geoffrey O’Brien, and Kevin Brownlow
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.

Oh, okay - it's just that the art didn't have that Criterion blu-ray sticker on it.

That did the trick. Thanks.

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

This film has been showing this month in HD on the HD cable channel MGM, so maybe a new transfer has been done.

Yep, I noticed that when I was browsing through my guide. I set a recording for it.
