    There is a really good 2 disc edition on Region 2 with a load of bonus material and both the theatrical release and the director's cut. Someone could just put a region 1 of that out... not that the film isn't Criterion worthy, it is.

    The Hud Breath of the Kingdom, Tears of the Wild

    I think "The Shape of Water" will make a nice addition to the collection.

    Fritz the Cat has been weirdly out of print for several years and never been on blu-ray. Ralph Bakshi doesn't do that many interviews so he must know stuff he's never told.

    I'm afraid all we got in Region A was The Final Cut, which isn't really a bad thing.

    I got that set as a region 1 ten years ago. Maybe the dvd was riding the wave of Wicker Man mania:nyah:
    It was interesting to see the original movie band name "Lodestone" ignored in favor of "Magnet" due to copyright issues.

    A couple from John Duigan, featuring Noah Taylor as Danny Embling. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but the third has never happened:

    The Year My Voice Broke
    Flirting


    Barfly

    The Station Agent


    And another vote for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover.

    I'd sure like to see Criterion serve up Quick Change and Catch 22.
     
  19. Horror of Dracula but my guess is that Warner won't license it even though they STILL haven't released it.

    Damn, wish I had an all-region blu ray player! The DVD may just have to do.
