Bitter Rice new
Kuroneko new
The Four Feathers new
Band of Outsiders upgrade
Kwaidan upgrade
The Bicycle Thieves upgrade
Doubt it will be Bicycle Thieves yet. Need more time for a Criterion special: Existing Blu-ray release + Another 8-12 months + Slightly different colour balance and/or contrast just to be different + New 10min extra just to be definitive. \:D/

Riso amaro will look stunning on Blu though, if the Italian DVD is anything to go by. There's real treasure trove in Italian cinema between the 40s and 60s just waiting to be discoved.

WCF Boxset
I hope this comes out this year, maybe a November release though.

Seriously? I was actually going to name that as my completely random upgrade pick ... but as a, you know, joke.

You've got to be shitting me. I love the film, but that bar none would be near the bottom of my upgrade guesses. There literally is NO telling anymore

Part of Criterion's newish "We'll Teach You Fuckers to Try and Guess What We're Going to Upgrade to Blu-ray Collection."

In the spirit of the film, I let a park full of performers compose my response and well God bless 'em they tried to make sense

Who knew this film sold better than, say, the Antonionis or Band of Outsiders?

There were articles about those releases in today's New York Times and Wall Street Journal though. The S*******************m mention seems completely random if it's not coming tomorrow.

It makes sense since there's a print circulating the arthouses, although I thought Soft Skin would be first (maybe both on friday?)

Don't read too deeply into that post tonight, I wasn't trying to tease tomorrow's releases (seriously).

When Welt am Draht comes it will surely be the biggest visual improvement on an already existing Blu-ray release. The French one looks horrific.
