The Clouds of Sils Maria, The Brood, Speedy (or some other Harold Lloyd film), Two Days One Night, The Before Trilogy, And The Ship Sails On, The Fisher King, One Eyed Jacks, A Bridge Too Far, Inside Llewyn Davis, and maybe House On Haunted Hill?
The bridge itself may be, and IMO probably is referring to Don Siegel's The Lineup.

I wish the clouds referenced Mikio Naruse's "Floating Clouds"
But alas, Criterion seems intent on never released any more Naruse films, despite having near HD masters in their catalog.
jmiller, I would give anything for a Naruse Eclipse set.
Imagine a set that included films like Yearning, Flowing, Scattered Clouds, Repast, etc. I think it would be the greatest DVD set ever.
It would be fantastic if the big eye represented One-Eyed Jacks. But I think it's more likely a hint at a re-release/restoration of Peeping Tom, which would be equally fantastic. After all, the first shot of the film is of an extreme closeup of an eyeball.
The eye could be Reflections in a Golden Eye, the girl on the bottom could be a nod to Green Inferno, the window makes me think of The Passenger and I do wish there was a man on that moon.
Think I've got some of these. Guy with newspaper=A Master Builder; car on bridge=Two for the Road; guy running is Harold Lloyd as Speedy; hooded figures chasing=The Brood; since apparent razors are in hands of hooded figures, it is perhaps also referencing Don't Look Now, which is definitely coming next month; broken bridge COULD be referencing full version of Fellini's Toby Dammit, which was being restored a couple of years ago; guy with cat is obviously Inside Llewyn Davis; king in boat= The Fisher King; eye on line- JellyFish Eyes; rose=The Rose; house with moon=Moonrise Kingdom; two suns,one moon= Two Days,One Night; ship in distance about to go downhill in water= Watership Down; vendor equals Merchant of Four Seasons. That's all I've got for now...
Knowing what did come out in 2015 I'm amazed at how accurate you were. I mean some I could see you getting (1 or 2 I got myself), but overall it's spooky. You have insider info I'm guessing :)
First time posting but thought I'd give my two cents... or maybe I am just hoping these are the clues. I'm not sure if anyone has hypothesized the gang with the X's through their mouths. At first I started thinking of some Silent Era films that involved gangs. X over the mouth meaning no talking... whether that meant silent film or maybe a film about a gang where snitching = death. But then I was thinking... wait, I remember that X... I looked up The Bad Sleep Well cover and saw the X in one of the windows. http://www.criterion.com/films/765-the-bad-sleep-well
I'm most likely dreaming, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
“Peranson's dyspeptic Cannes wrap-ups are always a hoot. They might begin to lose bite, though, if there are many more years like this in which everyone agrees on how bad the selection was.”
“Far and away the most shattering, raw and fully human series of films I have ever seen. In fact, one of the ten touched/disturbed me so completely that I have only seen it once. And I have taught . . .”
“I have to say my heart warmed at hearing about Criterion streamed. After reading the legion of complaints about Filmstruck app and streaming service, I'm most disappointed. I'd gladly pay the $11 . . .”
