  I don't think Scanners would be a good fit for the Criterion Collection. But this may be the first of many more Cronenberg movies in the series. I'd like to see the return of Dead Ringers, and a Blu-Ray of The Fly.

    The Fly has a very good Blu Ray already, but Dead Ringers would be a welcome return.

    Shivers, The Brood, Scanners, The Dead Zone and Crash all need better DVD/Bluray releases than they currently have. I'd love to see any of them get the Criterion treatment.

  I'm really hoping that the apartment building itself is a clue for 'The Apartment' (1960). That would really make me happy.

    Yeah, I heard that Le Samourai was getting the Blu Ray upgrade which is to be expected with the Blu Ray upgrade of Le Cercle Rouge and the new Criterion edition of Purple Noon. Eraserhead was confirmed I thought a little while back.

    It would just make sense.

    Interesting. That would be an amazing addition, but what makes you feel that its being added? I personally hope we can get Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart in the near future.

  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.

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

    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!
