Criterion Fantasies

What movies do you wish to see released on
CRITERION?

[Swan]

Fantastic Planet, for one.

[seanc]

The PTA catalog.

[Gatsby]

The Room and Plan 9 from Outer Space. I'm sick of sh*t pretentious films getting criterions. These two really need one instead.

[Miss Vicky]

Allegro Non Troppo

Nothing else comes to mind.

[Mr Minio]

March Comes In Like a Lion with the soundtrack in extras. <3<3<3<3

[Nausicaä]

Fantastic Planet, for one.
If you can play region B, Masters of Cinema(our version of Criterion more or less) released Fantastic Planet on blu-ray, it's a fabulous release.

[Cobpyth]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/California_split.jpg

Robert Altman's California Split.

[ShopkeeperTriumph]

Super mega extreme bump turbo edition.

I was just thinking abut this, and wanted to make a list. Sue me.


Adaptation- There's no special features on the standard release. This is not acceptable.
L'enfant-There's already a lot of Dardenne in the collection, and this is my favorite of them all, so why not?
The Tree of Life-Another filmmaker who already has a ton in the collection. But, there's room for more. Also has a disappointing array of features on the standard release.
A Serious Man-One of the Coen's most under appreciated films. Two releases is not enough for these guys.
Spring Breakers- I would love some Korine in the collection.
The Virgin Suicides- There's no proper blu ray release here in the U.S, so this would be lovely.
After Hours-See above.
Jackie Brown-They could do so much with a Tarantino release. I just want a commentary track for once!
Arsenic and Old Lace-Again, a great movie without a blu ray release. Plus, this collection needs more Capra.
Come and See-Probably my most desired. A movie this good demands to get the Criterion treatment. No U.S blu ray release as of now. What a shame.

[The Gunslinger45]

For me? Taxi Driver on Blu Ray. Now I know it will never happen. They just released a 40th anniversary version. But Taxi Driver had a laser disc Criterion release so this would be a badass fantasy.

Then again I got plenty of extra features on my 40th anniversary but I would love to see the cover art and booklet insert.

[Holden Pike]

The Man Who Would Be King
Pennies from Heaven
After Hours
Images
Modern Romance
Lost in America
Defending Your Life
A Thousand Clowns
Joe versus the Volcano
The World's Greatest Sinner

[Cobpyth]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/California_split.jpg

Robert Altman's California Split.

Still dreaming.

[The Gunslinger45]

In addition, since I made my pre-order for the Criterion Blu-Ray for John Water's Multiple Maniacs, I would love to see Pink Flamingos in the Criterion Collection.

[ShopkeeperTriumph]

In addition, since I made my pre-order for the Criterion Blu-Ray for John Water's Multiple Maniacs, I would love to see Pink Flamingos in the Criterion Collection.

I'd like Cry Baby, but that's a much bigger film, and it'd be harder to get the rights, i'm sure. Fingers crossed, though!

[The Gunslinger45]

I would really love a Blu Ray edition of Man Bites Dog

[Seer123]

Blade Runner would be cool

[Eli D]

Begotten
Buffalo '66
L'Argent

[Seer123]

In addition, since I made my pre-order for the Criterion Blu-Ray for John Water's Multiple Maniacs, I would love to see Pink Flamingos in the Criterion Collection.

Is multiple Maniacs worth seeing? Every time I even look at the Pink Flamingo's cover I just feel bad inside for some reason :(

[Siddon]

London After Midnight (1927)
The Private Life of Helen of Troy (1928)
The Patriot (1928)
East Lynne (1931)
The White Parade (1934)
Flirtation Walk (1934)
Golden Age of TV (Playhouse 90) Part 2
Forbidden Planet (1956)
Lake of the Dead (1958)
Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972)

I also wouldn't mind some Eclipse series based on International horror

Japan - (Kaiju)
Italy - (Gallo)
France (New Extremism)
Korea

[The Gunslinger45]

Is multiple Maniacs worth seeing? Every time I even look at the Pink Flamingo's cover I just feel bad inside for some reason :(

No clue. I have not seen it yet. But I dig Pink Flamingos so I hope I like it.

[Blix the Goblin]

I would love to see them do Bringing Up Baby. They've already done a few Howard Hawks movie, strange that they haven't gotten around to his magnum opus

[Dexter007]

I believe that Criterion has yet to release the most fitting film for their entire catalog. And this film is...

Caddyshack

[Gangland]

Besides bragging that I would be better than any superhero with this power, I would release the following top ten on criterion:

10.) Street Trash (1987)
9.) Witchfinder General (1968)
8.) Kiss of Death (1947)
7.) Sorcerer (1977)
6.) Zodiac (2007)
5.) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
4.) Mean Streets (1973)
3.) The Parallax View (1974)
2.) The Roaring Twenties (1939)
1.) Underworld USA (1961)

[Seer123]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[Joel]

Universal put out a ragged master with bad bake lines, halos and a smudgy wax job.

Criterion should do this one, forget their usual aesthetic. This one needs saving and super supplements as a market apology.

[Dexter007]

I think it's high time Criterion released two of their old catalogue titles...

Michael Bay's The Rock

And the unsurpassed masterpiece...

Michael Bay's Armaggedon.

[Gangland]

Also, don't know how this hasn't been released on Criterion yet:

[The Gunslinger45]

Well one of my Criterion fantasies are coming true. Stalker is getting a Blu Ray release!

[Cobpyth]

There was some talk about California Split also getting a release soon (this was a few months ago), but nothing official yet. I hope it happens!

Another one I'd like to see released is Bogdanovich's Saint Jack.

[Holden Pike]

Lost in America

One of my Albert Brooks wishes is coming in July, too! Hope this is the first of his entire filmography. https://www.criterion.com/films/29022-lost-in-america

[HashtagBrownies]

Any good criterion collections that are on region 1 that aren't on region 2, that would be a blessing.

I also wouldn't mind a Blu-Ray criterion for Funny Games.

[Blix the Goblin]

When will Criterion finally get around to the masterpiece The Pest with John Leguizamo?

[Nestorio_Miklos]

Perhaps if I could get easy access to all Criterion collection because on criterion.com it is like 39 pages and it is hard to ctrlF. then i would have to do pretty laborious crosscheck. However for now i would suggest
Cremator (1969 (http://www.imdb.com/year/1969/?ref_=tt_ov_inf)) and
The Ear (1970 (http://www.imdb.com/year/1970/?ref_=tt_ov_inf))

[Joel]

All the John Hughes movies and all of the John Sayles movies as box sets.

[The Gunslinger45]

I learned of another Criterion fantasy coming true! A Blu Ray release for Le Samourai!

Now I want a Blu Ray for Man Bites Dog

[Steve Freeling]

They should do a release of Poltergeist decked out with extras since no one else will.

I'll take the studio channel 4K release ahead of that though, I'd guess Criterion might have offered a few more(or newer) extras but its a film were UHD adds significantly IMHO.


I am supprised that nobody has given Jonathan Glazers's Birth a HD/BR release and you'd think that would be right up criterions alley as a cult film were the director would probably be willing to be involved with a commentary or other extras.
