    I would love to see blu-ray editions of both Short Cuts and Scenes From A Marriage (I don't know if Criterion's rights expired on either of these, but I hope not). Also, I would love to see Todd Haynes's Safe added to the collection. That film, along with Short Cuts and Vanya on 42nd Street, made me fall in love with Julianne Moore.

    I would love to see films such as Wim Wenders' The American Friend, Lynch's Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart added. All three films have very poor Blu Ray releases. Francis Ford Coppola's underrated and seemingly forgotten Rumble Fish as well. I think the visual beauty of Ridley Scott's The Duellists, and his misunderstood dark fantasy Legend would make nice additions.

    Eraserhead would be a nice addition to the collection and so would P.T. Anderson's Hard Eight. I would also like to see Dersu Uzala on criterion blu-ray and a criterion blu-ray of Andrei Rublev. But I want to see some animated films in the collection. How about Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg or even the Richard Williams cut of The Thief and the Cobbler?

      I'm surprised there are no animated films in the collection already. For starters Akira comes to mind. One of the most important animated features in the history of film.

      I remember the Akira Criterion Laserdisc! That was awesome despite the horrible english dub. On the whole, I would love to see Angel's Egg in the collection. Animation is a part of film history and some Mamoru Oshii would be a good place to start.

      I agree, I would like to see some animated films added to the Criterion Collection. I recommend 'Alakazam the Great' the original Japanese version along with the dubbed U.S. version. Any title by the very talented Ralph Bakshi would also be very welcome.

    There are 42 windows. Could it be 42nd Street?

      I couldn't agree with you more sir. This film is long overdue for a proper release. Easily one of the greatest films ever made; yet sadly, it has been relegated to mediocre releases such as the Euro Cult and BFI versions. It's a travesty that this film has not yet received the Criterion treatment.

      I hope that is true. And a blu-ray release of Hard Eight would be most welcome.

    Since people are talking about PTA, perhaps the 9 stories of the apartment complex pictured could be a reference to the opening scene of Magnolia?

    I'm so excited to see some Lynch finally on here! And yeah, Criterion should definitely get some anime out there, especially Satoshi Kon's films!
