Homicide, Spanish Prisoner, The Winslow Boy, Heist, Spartan, and Redbelt would all make fine Mamet Criterion entries.

The Blue Velvet 4K restoration is going to have to be really impressive. The existing blu ray is pretty good.

I would love to know all the specs on the Criterion release (I hate when they put "... and more!") to see of the blu-ray that I have now is obsolete. Does it have the Siskel and Ebert review, for instance? That's a gem addition if there ever was one!

The 2-minute Siskel & Ebert clip on the MGM Blu-ray is edited down significantly from the original broadcast. You can find the full 5-minute review on YouTube.

^Seems to me like it's gotta be Ritwik Ghatak's The Cloud-Capped Star (Meghe Dhaka Tara) from 1960.

It looks like My Criterion is starting to roll out again. It doesn't seem fully functional yet though.

I watched it on the Criterion streaming channel, last night.
I didn't particularly enjoy it. Not sure if I just wasn't in the mood for it, or what.
If you sign up, now, you can watch it for free (it's the current movie of the week). You get a 30 day free trial, so I would expect that if you didn't like the service, you could just cancel it and owe nothing.

I love To Sleep with Anger and I usually show it in my film class. It's deliberately paced, full of symbolism, and kinda weird so it's an acquired taste to be sure. I can't wait for the B&N sale so I can pick it up.

To Sleep With Anger ? The Criterion Collection (Blu-ray Review) at Why So Blu?
For every In the Heat of the Night, the Criterion Collection has found time to pick films to add to their library depicting black life that stays away from focusing on racial oppression, crime, gangs, or other tropes. To Sleep with Anger is an interesting choice. Not a wildly popular film, but the winner of multiple Independent Spirit Awards, and one that’s been added to the National Film Registry. It’s a slow-burn drama that puts focus on a family dealing with tensions that are beginning to boil over. There’s a poetry to what we are seeing and hearing on screen, which was undoubtedly the intention of award-winning writer/director Charles Burnett. Now the film has been restored and fitted with some new interviews and more for this wonderful Blu-ray package.

They're on the Criterion streaming service website, that I mentioned earlier. https://www.criterionchannel.com/
However, since they are currently part of the Movie of the Week offering, they'll probably only be there until Wednesday.
I expect they'll be available, again, once the service fully launches. I believe that happens in early April.
