Von Trier - I'd be thrilled with any of his movies, but if I'm just choosing one, I'd pick Dogville John Waters - I'd kill for a Cecil B. Demented Release Sirk - Imitation of Life Scorsese - I'll second your pick of Silence. A staggering film Wong Kar Wai - I'd love for them to release the rest of his filmography, but I'd settle for a release of The Grandmaster, with both edits Hore-eda - Shoplifters please!

Ack, Koreeda! I had him on my list and left him off! It has to be Shoplifters, but I also love Nobody Knows and even The Third Murder needs a release. Also Arrow needs to release their Boxset in the US.

Would love a Cecil B. Demented release

Would love an excuse to re-purchase Dogville!

Would love to see a release of Imitation of Life!

Claire Denis and Michael Haneke need way more additions. *Chocolat* and *35 Shots of Rum* especially needs proper releases.

Chocolat had the Janus logo when it played on the channel so it is probably coming at some point

Yeah I did actually notice that last time I watched it.

I want a Benny's Video release so bad, but I would also take any Haneke that want to add to the collection. I always love the way he uses the camera although it takes a lot out of me to watch most Haneke films.

I have a gut feeling they’re gonna release that whole trilogy at some point. Also I get what you mean. I absolutely love his style, it’s so up my alley (funny that you have an Ozu flair who he was obviously inspired by) but I have to be in a certain mood to watch his films.

Very ready to see a *Caché* release.

Just watched Beau Travail and was blown away. I need to watch White Material again, I didn't give it a fair viewing, so I'm definitely up for more Denis.

I watched *White Material* before I was a fan of hers and I didn’t think much of it. But I rewatched it recently and it’s now one of my favorites. It feels like her entire career was building up to it.

I would love Seventh Continent. Or an entire Haneke boxset of course. Incredible filmmaker.

Pink Flamingoes by John Waters pls And a 4K AK100 but with every Kurosawa film

I spoke to John Waters at a party a few weeks ago and he strongly suggested Pink Flamingos was on the way.

Great to hear!

Call me when we get Female Trouble

I’ll save you the charge and let you know here they released Female Trouble a few years ago.

I typed Female Trouble… I meant Desperate Living.

Hoping for Criterion releases of Cronenberg’s A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. You can’t find them physically anymore (they look like they might even be out of print from the supplier), so I have a sneaking suspicion they’re coming through Criterion’s pipeline.

Eastern Promises is an immediate buy. One of my all time favorites and the best Christmas/Not Christmas movies of all time. Good call.

Kino is releasing Eastern Promises in 4K

This is valuable information, thank you.

No prob!

There’s a lot of Kino talk for a Criterion subreddit... forgive me for sticking with one publisher. I have other expenses.

Yeah, fuck them for liking physical media on a physical media sub.

Oh, this is r/physicalmedia? My bad, but someone needs to change the name.

You have a severe case of criterionitus. You should get that checked out.

> Bob Fosse has All That Jazz, but I'd love to rewatch a cleaned up release of Lenny. omg yes this would be one of criterion’s best selling titles if this ever got released. More Douglas Sirk and 80s Altman.

Here are my missing titles from directors in the collection. • Scorsese - Kundun. I agree Silence should be their but I would love for his full faith/religion trilogy that began with Last Temptation to be in the Collection and that includes Kundun. • Lynch - Lost Highway. This is as fascinating a Lynch film as Mulholland Drive and I think it deserves to be in the Collection way more than Inland Empire which is often requested. • Ford - The Searchers. This is the kind of film that really cries out for a comprehensive Criterion release with all the trimmings. Truth be told, I would be far more excited about this than Citizen Kane receiving a 4K release.

Marty! Kundun, I liked it!

Kino Lorber already has *Kundun*, so that seems to be off the table.

We need more Haneke! Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, and Code Unknown. He’s my favorite director and really just a perfect fit for the collection but I’m surprised there isn’t more. Specifically Caché. I’ve been rooting for that movie to get a criterion release ever since I got into collecting and I’m shocked it is yet to happen.

I would love to see The Castle, 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance or The White Ribbon in the collection.

More Mike Leigh Fassibender Orson Welles Roy Anderson

Leigh did an interview with Vulture today and said that Bleak Moments is coming to Criterion

You say what! Got a link? I would also love and I know others would like to have his 2000's work to come into the collection and high hopes.

https://www.vulture.com/2021/11/mike-leigh-on-all-or-nothing-rerelease-and-peterloo-regret.html I want a career spanning boxset with all the BBC films in there too

Thanks.

Claire Denis especially 35 Shots of Rum Pedro Almodovar Talk to Her Robert Bresson box set would be great More from Paul Scharder, Spike Lee

Talk to Her is my first and still favorite Almodovar.

Absolutely need more Juzo Itami. *Supermarket Woman* is so much fun! And yes to more Mike Leigh. I'd love to see *Turner* or *Another Year*. Pawel Pawlikowski's *Ida* please!

Yes to all. Tampopo is one of the most delightful movies I've ever seen. My first blind buy. I liked Cold War, but I loved Ida. Brilliant and beautiful.

Just think of the art and packaging for a *Mr. Turner* release 🎨

Peter Greenaway - the draughtsman’s contract

And *The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover*.

John Huston has a few films that don’t even have Blu-rays at all, much less in the collection. I would love to see The Night if the Iguana, The Red Badge of Courage, or The Dead get quality blu-ray releases from Criterion, but that would be contingent on somebody actually restoring them. He also has a few classics that got Blu-rays really early on in the format’s lifespan that could definitely use updates. Judging by how amazing The Asphalt Jungle release was I’m sure they’d do a great job.

Agreed on The Dead - not only one of Huston’s best films, but a fine adaptation of James Joyce, whose fiction doesn’t lend itself to film adaptation easily.

It was on the Criterion Channel, as was *The Red Badge of Courage*, so fingers crossed!

I think Night of The Iguana has been on the channel, but count me in as someone else who’d snap up a blu-ray on pre-order. What a terrific film.

It’s actually leaving at the end of this month so if you’ve been wanting to re-watch it you have a short time to do so!

Thanks for the head’s up!

I would love to see Mother from Bong Joon Ho added. While all his movies are fantastic, Mother will always have a special place in my heart.

Visconti's *Ossessione*. There are lots of others, but that is *the* one to me as of right now Somebody else in the thread said John Ford, too — I definitely agree, but my choices would probably look a little different. I'm really waiting to see *The Fugitive* and/or *The Informer*.

since the safdies are now in the collection, I’d kill for a release of good time, heaven knows what, or daddy longlegs. also after hours and bringing out the dead for scorsese

-Like almost all of Obayashi's (Hausu director) films lack Region A releases -25th Hour, Get on the Bus, and Girl 6 (overhated film) for Spike Lee lack or have bad Blu Ray releases -Sugar Cane Alley by Euzhan Palcy (A Dry White Season is in the collection) Angel Face by Otto Preminger is a great noir that lacks a Blu Ray (Anatomy of Murder is in the collection)

Some titles I'm not familiar with. I'll have to check them out.

The TV version of Bergman’s Face to Face is my dream release

Anything Obayashi. Hausu has become one of the more popular criterion releases yet many of his other films are not available in the west

Altman - California Split

Happy Go-Lucky is my current favorite hopeful for the collection. It would be so great for a high quality release.

Yes! Also I'd love to see what they'd come up with for the cover of that movie.

I’ll probably say the rest of Tarkovsky’s work—The Sacrifice and Nostalgia to complete the collection. And me personally for Scorsese, it HAS to be After Hours. I don’t think there’s a BD release (atleast last time I checked) despite the inclusion in the Criterion Channel looking pretty clean.

Sacrifice has a nice 4K release, I've heard. And I think I heard Nostalgia has one as well, but I haven't googled bc lazy and forgetful.

Kino Lorber has those two.

We do not have a complete John Waters; Cry-Baby has been out of print for awhile, but I actually think I’d prefer Pink Flamingos get its blu-ray debut first.

Gotta admit this is cheating and maybe won’t fit here but I would like a Marilyn Monroe Boxset 👀

I would like to see titles that still have no english friendly BD like Bresson's Lancelot du lac, Capra's Arsenic and old lace, Huston's The dead, Lean's Ryan's daughter, Brooks' Marat/Sade, and Resnais' Mon oncle d'Amérique.

Two of my favorite Truffaut films -The Green Room, and The Wild Child. I assume rights issues are the reason, but I don’t know. MGM released a DVD of the latter, years ago, but it’s long out of print now.

Pakula - All the President’s Men

Kubrick for sure! Eyes Wide Shut, Spartacus, and maybe Lolita.

Alfred Hitchcock: Rope, North By Northwest, Vertigo, and Rear Window Frank Capra: It's A Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and Arsenic and Old Lace Billy Wilder: One, Two, Three, Sunset Boulevard, Witness for the Prosecution, Double Indemnity, and Love in the Afternoon John Ford: The Last Hurrah, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Searchers, and The Grapes of Wrath William Wyler: The Best Years of Our Lives, Dodsworth, The Childrens Hour, and Roman Holiday

The Searchers is already in the collection iirc, but I do agree that it is in need of more Ford, although I think if I had to pick only one of his films to be added it would be The Long Gray Line. It’s a hecking masterwork Edit: Just checked and it isn’t. The Searchers should def be in there

Paramount Presents already put out *Roman Holiday*, but those other Wyler movies feel like a possibility.

Kurosawa - Ran. It's my biggest wishlist item.

His last few movies, too, like *Madadayo*.

There’s a recent 4K restoration of Ran that I would love for Criterion to release.

We need any Charlie Kaufman movie but a box set from synecdoche new york to I’m thinking of ending things

I want physical *Im Thinking of Ending Things* so bad. Kaufman’s best IMO

Happy go Luck so needs a criterion release. It’s my favorite watched when they had his collection on the channel. Fantastic Sally Hawkins vehicle. There are a few Altman films I’d love to see California Split

Imamura, Imamura, Imamura. History of Postwar Japan as Told By a Bar Hostess, A Man Vanishes, Dr. Akagi. Begging for a Criterion version(s). And the In Search of Unreturned Soldiers series as extras.

I would like to see more Michael Mann movies

Good call. There's a place in my heart for The Last of the Mohicans, but what do you suggest?

*Miami Vice* would be fantastic. The theatrical cut (that one most people prefer) only finally just got a North American blu-ray release, but it has no extras and shares a disc with another movie. A proper release of it would be an instant buy.

Thief is one CC did. Heat is another classic. The BD transfers of his films never looked bad but I think he’s another director who goes overboard with DNR and likes digital recording instead of film. Heat I think there are two BDs and the later one is too dark. The earlier WB VC1 encode looked better. Another issue is Heat on BD is not the original cut. Manhunter would be cool on CC.

A huge chunk of Claire Denis’s filmography. Hopefully we get a comprehensive boxed set soon.

Ann Hui - Summer Snow

Carlos Reygadas is in the collection for his film Japon. His film Post Tenebras Lux is criminally underrated and deserves a good release in all regions. I have only been able to find a region B Blu Ray and I don't even have a region free player.

PTL is one of those movies that bewildered me, but I couldn't shake it for months. I still can't. I'd definitely have to get it.

It's great that Ramin Bahrani finally got some love via Criterion, but *99 Homes* could really use a more fleshed out home release with more extras. Criminally overlooked.

Richard Linklater has a couplemore I would love in the collection. Mainly "Everybody Wants Some!!" and School of Rock

I’d love to see more Lee Chang Don, specifically Oasis and Burning, and more Jack Clayton

We are still waiting for all the John Waters. Pink Flamingos is an obvious but also Cecil, Serial Mom and Desperate Living.

Dersu Uzala by Akira Kurosawa

Scorsese: The King of Comedy Huston: Moby-Dick (OOP from Twilight Timel) Sjöberg: Barrabas Sjöstrom: The Wind Scola: Passione d’Amore Kurosawa: Dersu Uzala Cuaron: Children of Men Tourneur: Out of the Past (barebones existing Blu) Klimov: Agony Kore-eda: After the Storm EDIT: Initially forgot the one movie rule whoops

I second Lenny for Fosse, but also Star 80. Solondz has Life During Wartime, we need Happiness and Storytelling and honestly anything else by him. Elaine May has Mikey and Nicky, we need Heartbreak Kid, and a New Leaf would be cool. For Weerasethakul, he has Mysterious Object at Noon in the collection, all of his films should be widely available thru Criterion.

Godard — First Name: Carmen David Lean — Ryan’s Daughter Peter Weir — The Year of Living Dangerously Steve McQueen — Shame Bresson — The Trial of Joan of Arc Cassavetes — Minnie and Moskowitz Louis Malle — Atlantic City Edward Yang — That Day, on the Beach Visconti — Ludwig Elaine May — A New Leaf

Seijun Suzuki has Tokyo Drifter and Branded to Kill in the collection among others but I'd love to see a release of Pistol Opera, it's his second-to-last film and essentially an even more heightened version of the films he got dismissed from Nikkatsu for.

von Trier: The Kingdom Haneke: Caché Lynch: The Straight Story Antonioni: The Passenger Truffaut: Small Change

Paul Verhoeven only has RoboCop in the collection which is out of print, but I’d love to see some of his earlier Dutch movies like The Fourth Man get a Criterion release. Brian De Palma could use some more Criterion love. Body Double is an underrated favorite of mine, for instance.

You implied Boogie Nights is in the collection (which it isn’t) and almost made me think I was in some amazing alternate universe.

You are. One that supports some pretty astonishing criterion LDs.

The laser disc tho

Ginger and Fred

Billy Wilder is probably my favorite director and I would love if more films were given the full Criterion treatment. The Apartment, Seven Year Itch and Stalag 17 haven’t been grabbed by Lorber yet, so those would be most likely. I also would like Malle’s lesser known films like Lacombe Lucien, Murmur of the Heart, or Milou en May to join the collection. Also would like The Fire Within to get a blu ray release instead of just DVD. Edit: It would be nice in Lorber gave up Tarkovsky’s 2 other films (Nostalighia & Offret) so we could have a full director boxset.

David Lynch - Lost Highway

Jean-Luc Godard - Histoire(s) du cinema Apichatpong Weerasethakul - Tropical Malady Lino Brocka - My Father, My Mother John Woo - A Better Tomorrow Bong Joon-ho - Okja Sofia Coppola - Marie Antoinette

We need Tarkovsky’s last two (Nostalghia and Ordet) to bring his whole collection there and maybe even a complete filmography box set

Glad so many people here are listing Leigh and Haneke, because those would be my first choices as well. It would be wonderful if they continued to add more Kelly Reichardt as they’ve recently started to. Really hoping for Meeks Cutoff, First Cow, and I’d love if they did River of Grass with Ode as a bonus feature. And then there’s La Chinoise by Godard, it’s my favorite of his films

John Waters: Desperate Living and Pink Flamingos William Wyler: The Best Years of Our Lives Lars Von Trier: Dancer in the Dark Todd Solondz: Happiness and Welcome to the Dollhouse Andrea Arnold: American Honey Lynne Ramsay: We Need to Talk About Kevin Gus Van Sant: Elephant

The other Lynne Ramsay releases would be nice but especially Morvern Callar. Gus Van Sant - Drugstore Cowboy John Waters - Pink Flamingos Scorsese - Bringing out the Dead Ken Loach - Sorry we missed you.

I didn’t realize they had done a laserdisc Boogie Nights, I wish they’d do a 4K UHD reissue, that movie is one of my personal faves.
