Getting Solaris and The Great Dictator from Criterion either today or Monday (Also in the package Pale Flower, Au Revoir Les Enfants, and Les Diaboliques). It will be hard to choose which to watch first when it comes in (Probably Solaris).

Platoon (never upgraded from the original non-anamorphic dvd release)
I would like to get Le Mans because frankly I'm shocked Paramount is releasing it on Blu Ray, but I just bought the DVD a few months ago. I'll wait for the price to come down a bit later this year.

the fact that 'Le Mans' has 7.1 surround sound is stunning no less and DVDBeaver raved about it... and it's about racing... so it's an easy purchase for me

Were you around for Criterion's own Criterion sale? There were some great deals to be had.

I must have missed that. When was it? I bought some during the Amazon sale.

There was a 50% off Criterion's price sale and it somehow worked on pre-orders.
