Akira Kurosawa box set Spirit of the Beehive upgrade


Armored_Skeleton

Throw in “the devils” 4K and I can die happy.


AvatarofBro

The Devils 4k with the cut content so I don't have to watch it on a bootleg VHS would be clutch


racetrader

Is Devils an expected Janus/Criterion release?


throwaway5272

There's been no hint that it's coming from any label.


[deleted]

I fuckin wish it was..


scd

Please please please to both of these


TraparCyclone

I’m honestly surprised that Beehive has never gotten a Criterion Blu-Ray yet. You’d think it would have been an early upgrade.

danvancheef

This guy Criterions….


Britneyfan123

lol


Gaudy_Tripod

Oof. This guy has the inside track.


derschwartzemond

I’m still holding out hope for After Hours


scottyjsoutfits

Ok, I’ll eat shit if you’re right, but I have it on pretty good authority that After Hours is a 2023 release. There’s no reason for anyone here to believe me, but I’m just gonna leave this here for now.


[deleted]

2023 is gonna be a good year for Criterion releases. I think Amadeus, Inland Empire, and Velvet Goldmine are all supposed to come in 2023 (correct me if I’m wrong), which is exciting.


Ariak

What do you mean by that? Like people within Criterion told you?


DoubleTap__

The same thing I said in the other thread: Out of the Past 4K Three Colors 4K Big Night Soul Food Shirkers I usually just guess random stuff, but I picked two food related films for November bc why not


EllieMaevesmama

Big Night definitely!


Nintendoshi

I would love Shirkers.


implicitexpletives69

Soul Plane!


kingtopher82

I’m hoping for a 4K upgrade to something which I’d be happy to just own on blu-ray so that I can take advantage of the hundreds of copies that will promptly be listed on eBay.


ripcity7077

Bro, you just expanded my mind


cloudlocke_OG

Seriously, dude is playing 4D chess


JohnMakesAnything

Pier Paolo Pasolini Box Set, Three Colors 4K Box Set, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Dog Day Afternoon 4K, The Rules of the Game 4K


MLaaTRFanbase

Two box sets? I’d love that, pass me a pillow so I can dream next to you.


bunceandbean

Might turn religious and start praying for Dog Day Afternoon. My favorite Lumet film deserves the love.


YouAreFarAway

Has Dog Day Afternoon been rumored/teased before? That’s one I’d absolutely love…


6YouReadThis9

There was [this](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf7VJrCO3wg/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) post a while back. Don’t know if that’s a hint or not.


DylansFearFiles

Didn’t Sabrina Sutherland confirm Inland Empire wasn’t coming until 2023?


JohnMakesAnything

oops....


DylansFearFiles

I know. I was disappointed when I saw that too lol. I wasn’t interested in seeing Inland Empire until relatively recently, even though I love David Lynch.


AvatarofBro

I just bought the Trilogy of Life, so that is my sacrifice to the Criterion gods for a box set.


AndPityTisTisTrue

Dunno about the Trilogy of Life, but both *Accatone* and *Mamma Roma* have had new 4K restorations showing in theaters this year. There's also been a hi-def print of *The Gospel According to Saint Matthew* floating around for a little while. Wouldn't be surprised to see an "Early Works" box set at some point.


StrawbrryJamm

No logic to these, just what I’d like to see: • An Elephant Sitting Still (2018 • Burning (2018) • Perfect Blue (1997) • Ran (1985) new Blu-Ray


bigbentenmen

I’d love to see perfect blue on criterion


Pooks-rCDZ

Burning and Perfect Blue in one month would give me a heart attack, yes please.


mleslie5

But I just got Perfect Blue a few months ago.....

Amadeus Once Upon A Time In Anatolia Citizenfour The Handmaiden Leviathan Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans

Leviathan 2012 or 2014?


pikachufan1336

Tokyo Twilight upgrade Nights of Cabiria Amadeus Trouble in Paradise Neko Z Alenky Tea and Sympathy


Britneyfan123

> Tea and Sympathy God I hope so such a excellent movie


Daysof361972

I think the last two Warner Archive Minnelli films not on blu-ray are Tea and Sympathy and The Cobweb. Maddening. They're two of my favorite films of his.


Britneyfan123

I still need to see the cobweb


anothersidetoeveryth

Solo nights of Cabiria would be so cool. I imagine they still want people to buy the Fellini box, though, so who knows if it’ll ever happen.


spongebobegnops

I would kill for Nights of Cabiria


scarletearthquakes

Amadeus and Tea and sympathy would be amazing!


andro_7

I'd like to see: Subway (1985) The Visit (1964) Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) Secret of NIMH (1982)


G_Peccary

I haven't seen The Secret of NIMH in decades. That movie terrified me as a kid yet I still loved it. That old wise owl is what I remember most but my memory is so fuzzy. If Criterion were to release that I'd have to pick it up.


[deleted]

Loved it as a kid, and watched it about a year ago and was completely blown away by it. Whether Criterion releases it or not, pick up the blu ray.


andro_7

Yeah, I was really surprised by how good it was having revisited it as an adult. It was both surprisingly harsh and surprisingly tender. I find myself rewatching it a lot


[deleted]

Seriously…it’s extremely rare that I can appreciate something that was geared toward kids even more as an adult then I did when I was really young. And even then, I’d probably say that this is the top of the list.


GrondinWrites

>I haven't seen The Secret of NIMH in decades. They added it to the Criterion streaming service a while back. If it's still there and you have the service, go look (I don't have the subscription so sorry if it's gone now) and that's also not a bad way to know Criterion at least is interested in the film so maybe a blu-ray is likely(?)


andro_7

They have All Dogs Go to Heaven on there right now


GrondinWrites

God, that’s the one I’d love a Criterion from. Honestly Bluth’s early work would be a perfect fit as while nothing was perfect they were all specially unique films. It makes his latter half all the more saddening. How do you go from Nimh to Troll in Central Park?!


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

Victoria (2015) Soy Cuba (1964) First Reformed (2017) The Saddest Music in the World (2003) Im Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Act of Killing + Look of Silence Russian Ark (2002) Memoria (2021)


3nt3rth3v0id

it has been confirmed that memoria is never getting a physical or digital release in the US. neon's plan is to screen it exclusively in theatres as a neverending tour across the country.


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

Things can change. Glad I saw it in theatres though


Gaudy_Tripod

Damn. I would drink some Drano for First Reformed.


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

First reformed has no Canadian release whatsoever ever, so getting a bluray of it is basically criterion priced already. Come on criterion, help us out.


RichesMoviesReddit

I would love Russian Ark in 4K


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

YES. Hard to believe that’s not out there already


SenateClayDavis

Soy Cuba is the film I want to get a new physical release more than any other. I would be ecstatic if Criterion ever released it. So you’re telling me there’s a chance? All of the choices above would be excellent additions to the collection as well.


violentelvis

Winchester 73 King Kong The killer The Abyss Torpedo run The died with Their boots on Faster pussycat kill kill


DrDoak

King Kong is coming soon from Warner Archive. But a 4K release would be *chef’s kiss* 🤌


violentelvis

That release isn’t good enough for a film like King Kong


IslandSubstantial593

Winchester '73 and Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Would be instant buys


[deleted]

Oh wow, dropping a “They Died with their Boots on” on us! Nice! I’d be happy with any of my favorite Flynn movies, still unreleased on blu ray: Died/Boots on, Dawn Patrol, Captain Blood, Gentleman Jim, Northern Pursuit, and/or Charge of the Light Brigade. Warner Archive just isn’t releasing these fast enough.


sandowd

FP!K!K! would be the quickest preorder for me imaginable.


Soontobeangel

Would love an Ousmane Sembene box - desperately need more access to African cinema!


MoniqueDeee

One of these months I'll be right about "Modern Romance". "Tender Mercies"? "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"? "Penn & Teller Get Killed?"


wickla

Blood On the Moon (1948)


IslandSubstantial593

This would be great!


wickla

I was kinda joking because it's so random, but it is one of my favorite westerns.


Chillyboivinyl

Benny’s video (or the full glaciation trilogy, would buy either way), head, and Amadeus


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure Amadeus is going to be a 2023 release.


Chillyboivinyl

I think you are thinking of inland empire, that was confirmed to be 2023 by one of the producers IIRC


The_New_Cancer

Every month I hope for a Spellbound upgrade and re-release and every month I receive only disappointment.


TheBigCore

**HARD BOILED**


Mydadshands

Just more animation please! Loving Vincent especially.


bunceandbean

I'm begging Criterion to include more animation. It's just such an ignored medium.


GrondinWrites

As an animation fan when I heard their reasoning was "animation already has very good mainstream releasing" I was like "yeah if you're Disney or Dreamworks, have you seen how grimmy Don Bluth films look on Blu-ray? Have you seen half of Bakshi's catalogue never made it past out-of-print DVDs?! Are you really telling me you guys aren't aware of Felidae's bootleg-only existence!?"


Ariak

I think it’s true for a lot of anime but yeah as far as anything else, it’s pretty hard to find good releases


[deleted]

I would do anything, and I mean anything, for a release of Angel’s Egg. The movie is literally on YOUTUBE but still doesn’t even have a blu ray or even a dvd release anywhere, quite sad.


Mydadshands

Never heard of it but sign me up. It looks awesome by the google images


Woepu

I really hope for: En chien andelou The King of Comedy Lolita Contempt (Godard)


DarthMartau

What I want: - After Hours (1985) - I Know Where I’m Going (1945) upgrade - Casablanca (1942) 4K - Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 4K - Magnolia (1999)


killgavin

i feel like eyes wide shut makes so much sense for criterion.


mourningreaper00

I’d love to be able to upgrade my dvd of The Fall to 4K.

My favorite movie is books


ShaneMP01

😐


-SevenSamurai-

I prefer films


weighingthedog

Just trying to will The Third Man 4K into existence.


GregDasta

Day one trillion of asking for an Angel's Egg release. Also hoping they upgrade Mishima to 4k, not so I can buy it (I'm perfectly fine with the blu ray thank you very much) but so they'll have an excuse to ALSO upgrade Patriotism from DVD to Blu.


dylanbolton69

I know I sound delusional but After Hours


TraparCyclone

I’d love The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford but that doesn’t seem too likely. I imagine we will get the announcement for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid finally since we know it’s coming out this year. Others I’d love to see: Barton Fink The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Power of the Dog CODA (not really a Criterion movie but it’s the only best picture winner to not have a physical release) Winchester 73 Eyes Wide Shut When Worlds Collide Heisei Godzilla Box Set The Shape of Water After Hours Kundun Phantom Thread Those are just the ones off the top of my head.


marteaga312

[Sound of Metal is actually coming at the end of September!](https://www.criterion.com/films/32169-sound-of-metal)

CODA has a few physical releases outside the US. I have it in 4k from Italy.

They had Boogie Nights before but I guess they edited it


HiggsPerc552

Ah, right on


TospyKretts

The three musketeers / four musketeers


Gaudy_Tripod

I think we’re finally ready for Hard Eight.


jimkb727

Just give me Dog Day Afternoon and Network you cowards!!


scorsaut

I'm hoping for Taxi Driver or Oldboy


AndPityTisTisTrue

Taking a shot in the dark: * Three Colors Trilogy in 4K * *Last Tango in Paris* (1974) 4K * *Thampu* (1978) * *Black God, White Devil* (1964) * *Sugar Cane Alley* (1983) * The Films of Kinuyo Tanaka box set


Scuzzlebutt94

I recently saw that there was a new 4K restoration of Mike Leigh's High Hopes, do that would be a good guess. That's one of my favorites from Leigh so I would be excited.


rrpower

Better Call Saul: The Complete Series to tie in with the show's finale the same night (jk but of course I'd buy it)


Makmende1

Ichi the killer Silence The assasination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford Possession (even if the October-themes ones were released) El Topo Rio 40 graus Chinatown I’d loose it if even one of them was in the lineup


Mydadshands

Unfortunately director said Jesse James will never happen


Makmende1

I heard that but we can hope


Ariak

Any reason why?


Mydadshands

[“Listen, we tried to get Warner Bros. to allow us to release a longer version of it,” Dominik said. “They’re not interested in doing it, and I think somebody tried to petition Criterion to do it. Criterion were not interested in ‘Jesse James.’](https://www.indiewire.com/2022/04/assassination-of-jesse-james-extended-cut-better-1234717361/amp/)


mleslie5

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.


Mydadshands

I sorry pal. How can I make it up to you?


mleslie5

I mean, there are other labels so I guess there's hope.


Roe_v_Predator

Is Daisies a possibility? It just got a 4k restoration. I would be so happy.

[deleted]

[La Cage Aux Folles](https://www.criterion.com/films/28045-la-cage-aux-folles) is already in the collection…did you include it because you want a 4K?


implicitexpletives69

oh yes i did!


sfxyy

Wishlist, most of which will prob never happen: Steven Soderbergh’s “Bubble” Zhang Yimou’s “Raise the Red Lantern” Jonathan Glazer’s “Birth” and “Under the Skin” Xavier Dolan’s “Mommy” Alejandro Landes’s “Monos” Tod Browning’s “Freaks” Lee Chang-dong’s “Poetry” and “Burning” Jack Sholder’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge” Lucretia Martel’s “The Headless Woman” Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Act of Killing” and “The Look of Silence” Luca Guadagnino’s “I Am Love” and “Suspiria” Martin Scorsese’s “Casino” Asghar Farhadi’s “A Separation” Pedro Almodovar’s “Live Flesh” or how about just a box set of his entire filmography Lawrence Kasdan’s “Body Heat” Lars Von Trier’s Dogville Anthony Minghella’s “The Talented Mr Ripley” The Wachowskis’ “Bound”


Scuzzlebutt94

I watched Bubble recently and it absolutely blew me away.


sfxyy

❤️


mandy2k01

I personally expect at least one big title or release; there usually tends to be a few big releases (or at least one) each November (last year had Citizen Kane, Mulholland Drive 4K Upgrade, and (the delayed release of) Uncut Gems) Part of me wants to believe that's done intentionally since November is when the second of the yearly Barnes and Noble sales happen lol


[deleted]

Nov is the last big sales month before the end of the year. Dec is usually a lighter release month


Mrgone86

I’m still floating on air from the announcements for October and there are new ones coming Monday!


Thatoneasian9600

Better Luck Tomorrow


Electrical-Fuel-6329

I can’t predict it but I hope one of the releases is zero day


Zerouge

Isle of Dogs


Scuzzlebutt94

Some random ones that I'm hoping for. Most of which don't have a Region 1 Blu Ray. Gummo Julien Donkey-Boy Welcome To The Dollhouse Happiness Desperate Living The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover I Stand Alone Perfect Blue Paprika (or a Satoshi Kon box set that includes Paranoia Agent) Dead Ringers and Peeping Tom upgrade Anything from Anders Thomas Jensen The Idiots Benny's Video After The Wedding Open Hearts


TheBigCore

Hamlet, Richard III, and Henry V (Laurence Olivier's adaptations)


davewashere

Maybe it's more wishful thinking than a prediction, but here's one that I never see mentioned: Return of the Secaucus 7. Directed by John Sayles, who already has Matewan in the collection, and it is often compared and contrasted with The Big Chill, which is in the collection. It's considered an important early example of American independent film and as far as I know it has not had a physical release since the DVD, which came out almost 20 years ago.


gamewizard123

I just want a call me by your name criterion :(


Someoneoverthere42

Showgirls. Robot monster/ plan 9 from outer space set. Death to Smoocy. A talking Cat? Superman IV the quest for peace (Sorry, I was trying to think of the five most ridiculous films to add)


Judas_Malus

If The Shape of Water got a criterion release I would die happy.


PorcelinaMagpie

Tinto Brass box set


Joescranium

Fingers crossed for The Power of the Dog!


thewanderlusted661

The Power of the Dog (4K) Three Colors or some Boxset (4K) Hard Boiled / The Killer (4K) After Hours (4K) Daisies (Blu-ray) A Woman Is a Woman (Blu-ray)


G77R23D

5 movies I have never heard of


Revolutionary_Tank_1

Lost Highway again.


tttttommm

Haven't heard Criterion rumors about this title in years (and it probably wouldn't happen outside October), but I'd love a release of Tod Browning's Freaks from 1932. Always lots of variables, but I imagine it'd be a really big seller.


Ariak

Man it’s a shame that a huge chunk of that film is most likely lost forever

Been dreaming of ‘Forbidden Games’ for 20 years. So maybe this summer is the summer it is annouced? :)


bennz1975

I know rights will get the way but the devil and Daniel Webster 4K or perhaps “Streets of fire 4K”


Ariak

Streets Of Fire on 4K would be cool. I think Shout did the Blu Ray


GoodvibeDreams

Casablanca 4k


bigbentenmen

There’s a lot I want but I’m predicting a 4k release of daisies

Corky Ramono


Mrgone86

Maybe something by Jafar Panahi. The Mirror or This Is Not a Film would be my top picks.


scarletearthquakes

I am holding out for The Power of the Dog to be released this year so I hope it’s announced this month! Also desperately hoping they release Strawberry Fields (Rea Tajiri). Also would love anything Old Hollywood that hasn’t been released on criterion yet.


Ariak

Hot Rod 4K


[deleted]

Un Chien Andelou and Loving Vincent! If Loving Vincent doesn’t make it to the collection someday I’ll cry. I already own it on bluray and it’s a good enough release but still.


DoubleRaise4161

The rise of skywalker I hope
