Criterion is doing Blu-Ray... OK, sure, they don't actually come out
until October... but still...
For those who don't know who/what Criterion is... they're a premier
imprint for movies. Everything you count on in a "Special Edition"?
Criterion invented that. On Laser Disc no less. Their DVD releases
have been stellar so it will be interesting to see what they do with a
High Def format.

* The Third Man
* Bottle Rocket
* Chungking Express
* The Man Who Fell to Earth
* El Norte
* The 400 Blows
* Gimme Shelter
* The Complete Monterey Pop
* Contempt
* Walkabout
* For All Mankind
* The Wages of Fear
Most of these releases don't really float my boat, but hey, you have
to start somewhere. Bottle Rocket should be worthwhile, Third Man and
400 Blows are classics.
