• No Preorders for Now

    We’ve been having some trouble handling preorders through our new store. A significant number of our customers have been distressed to find that their credit card was charged at the time they preordered items from our site rather than when the product shipped. To ensure that this doesn’t happen again, we will not be taking preorders through the site until our shopping cart and fulfillment systems are properly integrated. We hope it won’t be long. In the meantime, if you have already preordered an item, don’t worry—your order is still in the queue and should arrive by the street date. Thank you for your patience, and we’ll let you know as soon as our preorder system is up and running.

    Has Criterion, or it's subsidiary Elcipse, thought about getting the right to Frank Perry's Truman Capote trilogy (especially A CHRISTMAS MEMORY) with a possible release of the titles --- maybe sometime before next Christmas --- hmmmmm?

    I've sent you guys numerous emails about this in the past, no one has ever gotten back to me though. So I figured i'll just keep trying ha! Has Criterion got any plans to attempt a release of The Funeral by Abel Ferrara? That film doesn't have any decent releases available for DVD, which is a shame because it's a great film.

    Everyone I know who loves films is always asking about and wondering: When will we see high-quality DVDs of Welles's "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Chimes at Midnight"?

    Is Criterion ever going to release My Dinner with Andre? It was originally released on DVD a couple of years ago, but now its OOP. It's a great film. Please release it on DVD

    Thank you so very much for picking up John Huston's "Wise Blood" We've waited so long. I'd also like to see, as Mr Nathanson says, a new release of "Andre". I am fortunate enough to have the previous DVD release, but it must have been taken from a very poor quality print .

    It would be great if Criterion would get the rights to Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" and release it before the Holidays. The black and white version is OK but rereleasing an endearing classic like "memory" would be a wonderful addition to anyone's holiday viewing schedule and we could give "Its a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story" a rest this year. It would be bound to be a best-seller with Geraldine Page winning an Emmy for her performance and being she is also an Oscar-winning actress. Please bring this up to someone who can get it released. Thanks...

    I think it would be great if Criterion took a crack at a long-ignored genre: 70s drive-in films. I'm thinking: "Buster and Billie" "Macon County Line" "White Line Fever" There are so many to choose from, and they really harken back to a unique era in film history. Drive-ins were still popular, and they often catered to run-n-gun, maverick films (even ones produced and/or distributed by the majors) that really delivered on what they promised. Thanks! :-)

    I wish that Criterion would rescue Karel Reisz' great Who'll Stop the Rain from DVD mediocrity. The one available now has an opening 15 minutes with some of the worst quality of any transfer I have seen. One of the lost 70's paranoid thrillers that deserves a proper showcase.

    How about "The Whisperers," directed by Bryan Forbes and starring Edith Evans (in an Oscar nominated performance)? Beautiful black and white cinematography, eerie score by John Barry, and one of the best performances of the 1960's.

    You know what desperately needs a Criterion life. How about the lost documentary that brought Bennett Miller (of CAPOTE fame) into the spotlight? You know which I am speaking of. How about THE CRUISE starring the always enjoyable Speed. I think it would be a powerful entry (especially the ending) for Criterion.

    I continue to hope that one day, soon, The Criterion Collection will be proud to present Steven Soderbergh's 1993 "King of the Hill" on DVD and Blu-Ray. I feel it is his best film, with one of the most haunting scores by Cliff Martinez. It is not available on DVD, and my laserdisc does not begin to capture the wonderful cinematography. It also showcases early talent by Adrien Brody and Katherine Heigl. Please bring this film to DVD and (more importantly) Blu-Ray! Thank you Criterion!

    After the extraordinary release of "Days of Heaven" on Criterion, I can only hope that there are plans to release Malick's masterpiece "A Thin Red Line", as well. This is a film that until now has only been released in a bare bones form with no plans for a special edition. Also, Malick has confirmed that there is quite a bit more film that I'm sure fans everywhere would be clamoring to see, that is only if he would desire to make a new cut. Please give this film the proper treatment it deserves. No one does it better than Criterion!

    I love Criterion films! I echo the request for Shane, (and the isolated music track is a great idea) because the available version is so blurry and discolored that it is terrible to watch. Saw it last night and confirmed a belief that it truly is a great American film, and it badly needs an edition that film lovers can love.

    How about Francis Ford Coppola's "You're a Big Boy Now," from 1966. Warners has been sitting on this for years. Hilarious bits by Geraldine Page and Rip Torn. A great forgotten 60's romp.

    A terrific film from a genre Criterion has long embraced - the British "kitchen sink" drama - that deserves life on DVD: Bryan Forbes' "The L-Shaped Room" (1962). Leslie Caron won a 1963 Best Actress nomination for it, and it belongs to stand alongside Forbes' other great female-centered works, "Seance on a Wet Afternoon" (1964), and as mentioned above, "The Whisperers" (1967). As Caron did, Kim Stanley and Dame Edith Evans were Best Actress-nominated for their respective performances. Yet more importantly, "The L-Shaped Room" is an early example of positive gay and lesbian supporting characterizations in feature film; it's an historic, landmark work, thereby. As both Caron and Forbes are still alive, they could provide fascinating insight into the making of the film, Caron in particular. Attention must be paid! And for those of you who are Smiths fans: the bit of audio that starts off "The Queen is Dead" is from this film: Cicely Courtneidge, playing an aging lesbian music-hall performer, singing "Take Me Back to Dear Old Bromley" at the boarding house Christmas party...

    I will add another emphatic 'ditto' for Terrence Malick's 'The Thin Red Line', which Gene Siskel at the time called "the greatest contemporary war film I've seen, supplanting Steven Spielberg's 'Saving Private Ryan' from earlier this year, or even Oliver Stone's 'Platoon' from 1986", and which Martin Scorsese ranked as his second favorite film of the 1990s. Though this film attracted the attention of an impressive list of names in the casting process, eventually featured a dozen well-known actors, and runs nearly three hours, several other big names like Martin Sheen and Gary Oldman were cut out from a first assembled cut over FIVE HOURS in length which has many fans clamoring for a Director's Cut treatment. Given the incredible amount of unseen footage fans are demanding be released, a Criterion Collection Director's Cut treatment would be very well-deserved.

    Now that you have given the John Wayne western classic "STAGECOACH" the Criterion treatment, may I request that you do the same for another great Western classic "SHANE" . It is very disappointing that Paramount Pictures issued a bare-bone edition of the landmark movie and did not bother to come up with any special edition even on the film's 50th anniversary. The famous closing scene where little Joey cried "Come back Shane" was a little too dark in the Paramount release. So as a number of others have requested , I hope the people at Criterion will endeavour to come up with an improved issue of "SHANE" - the Criterion way !!!

    I could not be happier that Criterion has chosen & confirmed 'The Thin Red Line"! As evidenced by the commentators above, it is one of the most cherished and moving films to ever come along and has been SCREAMING for a Criterion Collection release. You better believe I'll be pre-ordering ASAP! I can only hope that the 'Out-takes' promised in the Special Features are lengthy enough to give us a feeling of what that original five-hour cut looked like... God, I can only imagine! Don't forget that Adrien Brody is another performer whose role was extremely limited by the theatrical cut. But Malick's method is to 'find' his film as it is being made and the Caviezel/Penn exchanges proved to be the film's backbone. Looking forward to All Special Features... And, oh man, Malicks' "Tree of Life" w. Brad Pitt and Sean Penn comes at the end of this year. Anyone who has read about the themes and vague story-line know it will rank as one of the most ambitious films of all time. Makes me think of the philosophical inquiries of 2001. Which reminds me: Once again seconding an earlier comment, any and all films of Stanley Kubrick, starting with "Barry Lyndon" and "Eyes Wide Shut", as well as Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Amberson's", "Chimes At Midnight", "The Immortal Story" etc, etc. I would Love if Criterion took these films off the hands of those who have bungled the releases (or Non-releases; here''s looking at you Beatrice!) of these master filmmakers' work. And Thank You for the incredibly Classy/Respectful releases of Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman. I'm so glad to finally feel apart of a Film community where I truly belong. As a filmmaker, I would gladly dedicate my life to the restoration of these classics which you give us by the week, month and year : ) THANK YOU Criterion & Janus!!!

    Kirsten: It won't happen, sorry to say. The Studio Canal Collection has that film's rights and have released a rather good (not Criterion quality but worthwhile) Blu Ray of Ladykillers. We need to focus more on The Magnificent Ambersons, the Apu Trilogy, and Letters from an Unknown Woman.

    I doubt it, Shaun. StudioCanal has an exclusive distribution deal with Lionsgate, meaning that they won't renew their deal with Criterion when it expires. Perhaps then their Blu-Ray of Le Cercle Rouge will get a Region A release. I'll still end up getting it, since it's a fantastic film, but I'll be disappointed that Criterion didn't get a chance to do it.

    I'm always surprised that no one is clamouring for Johnny Guitar! Love that film! And it was so exciting to see Bigger Than Life. And of course the eternal desire for more Welles... Not just Chimes and Ambersons, but also the Trial and Othello. Criterion really did a superb job on Arkadin and F for Fake. Other than that, more Godard and Antonioni (Red Desert was fantastic. At first I was critical of th IFC deal, but I've been impressed with many of the releases. Keep it up!

    I would really love to see, on Eclipse or Criterion, Joseph Losey represented; perhaps a box set of his films with Harold Pinter or a 50's set with "Chance Meeting", "The Prowler", "M" and "The Lawless". What about "Mr. Klein"? He's very under-represented in the U.S. on dvd. Also, thank you for "Fanfan la Tulipe" and "La Ronde", but the great French actor Gerard Philipe surely deserves to be better represented on dvd. I'd love to see releases of "The Red and the Black", "Devil in the Flesh", "The Idiot" or anything else featuring this actor sorely in need of revival.

    Criterion, you should add George Lucas' THX 1138, it is a science-fiction piece of art. It has a whole new world, a dystopia disguising itself as a utopia, that comments on society and our actions. Robert Duvall gives a brilliant performance, and Lalo Schifrin's score is hauntingly beautiful. THX 1138 is the pinnacle of the new technological age, and great story from a creative and original director.

    Please Criterion, you must try to get the rights for Peter Greenaway's films.. It's beyond shameful that this director's fine films are practically out of print with the existing copies having very bad transfers. The Cook the Thief his Wife and her Lover, The Baby of Macon and Prospero's Books are way overdue for Criterion treatment. Also, I would love to see what your company would do for Babenco's Pixote and the Istvan Szabo Nazi trilogy which features Mephisto, Colonel Redl and Hanussen.

    Just a reminder of the reminder.....A Taste of Honey, from 1961 starring Dora Bryan, James Stephens and introducing Rita Tushingham. An Diary of a Mad Housewife, starring Richard Benjamin and Carrie Snodgrass.

    As with many previous posters, I hope you can obtain Welles' Chimes at Midnight. Warners' DVD of Magnificent Ambersons is a couple years overdue by now, so if they don't want to do it, I hope you can. Eisenstein's Strike, October and General Line need good DVDs/Blu Rays, and so do Dreyer's Master of the House and Svankmajer's Faust. Disney has pretty much disowned Return to Oz, so I'd love to see you give it a proper restoration. Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Mysterious Object at Noon and Adventure of Iron Pussy are available on DVD only in pictureboxed versions.

    In keeping with the immense desire of so many to obtain Frank and Eleanor Perry's adaptation of Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory," I'd like to propose an Eclipse box that would include their superb body of work - the previously available "David and Lisa" followed by their great literary adaptations: the Capote "Trilogy" (supplemented with full-length versions of "Christmas Memory," "Among the Paths to Eden," and adding "The Thanksgiving Visitor"), Evan Hunter's "Last Summer," John Cheever's "The Swimmer," and Sue Kaufman's "Diary of a Mad Housewife." As an added bonus, you might include the still-haunting "Ladybug Ladybug," a splendid example of early-60s indie filmmaking.

    A Frank and Eleanor Perry Eclipse box set would be terrific, but would like to see releases of other Frank Perry films as well (Play It As It Lays, Man on a Swing). I'd also like to see what Criterion could do with Altman's Nashville and, for completion's sake, H.E.A.L.T.H.

    Erich von Strohiem's 1924 film "Greed" and Jackie Gleason's 1962 film "Gigot" are a couple of films I'd love to see given the Criterion Collection magic on DVD.

    Please consider releasing the thriller / horror movie "Possession" directed by Andrzej Zulawski. It is a classic that won Isabelle Adjani an award for best actress at the Cannes film festival. It is currently out of print and would be perfect to add to your collection alongside similar films such as Diabolique and Repulsion. Thank you.

    Would be great to see A Taste of Honey again. Missed it when it was on Turner Classic a few months back, and I heard the print was lousy anyway. This film really deserves to have a decent version released.

    Ditto on the request for Peter Greenaway films, especially "The Tempest", which has never been available on DVD, features a brilliant performance by Sir John Gielgud, and Greenaway's most visually arresting film, his most under-appreciated work. Love Criterion - thank you for doing what you do! Jeff

    I Would really love it if Amelie were added. It's really crying out for CC treatment. I would be in a perfect world if some Animated films were added too. I mean, do you know how long I've been waiting for Le Roi et l'oiseau to be released?
