Mike Leigh in the CC closet. Maybe we get High Hopes, Career Girls, or Secrets & Lies soon?

Man, I'd actually love to see the hugely underrated All or Nothing.

Agreed on All Or Nothing - I can even cope with James Corden being in it! Or maybe Vera Drake - that was a New Line release in the US, so maybe Criterion could do what they did with Naked and license the film directly from Film4?

Either way there is that just aired 100 minute BBC Imagine... documentary interviewing Mike Leigh about his entire career that is just crying out for being licensed as an extra feature. Even if the film clips have to be removed for rights reasons it should still be a valuable addition, and Leigh does specifically single out All or Nothing as being his most underrated film during the programme.

It's probably not as high priority as his 90s film, but I'd love to see Criterion release All or Nothing and Happy-Go-Lucky. I think they're incredible films and would also look great on bluray.

Monday should bring this year's last announcement of titles for 2015; what are your predictions?

L'argent / Trial of Joan of Arc
Mikey and Nicky
Satyajit Ray Box Set
Alice in the Cities
The Brood

I'm jonesing for more Chaplin. Hoping for Limelight or a First National box (or both).

I'm also wanting some more Chaplin. That, or one of the rumored Warner titles which would be a great lead-in to the New Year's drawing's potential.

My wishes:

BLU RAY UPGRADE
A Film Trilogy by Ingmar Bergman: Through a Glass Darkly / Winter Light / The Silence
Le Samourai

NEW TITLES:
Teorema, Pier Paolo Pasolini
Vaghe Stelle dell'Orsa / Sandra; Luchino Visconti (A personal dream)
Mullholand Drive

Hope against hope, wish against wish...

Limelight
Apu Trilogy
Spirit of the Beehive BD
Boudu Saved From Drowning BD
Cries and Whispers BD

I feel even sillier guessing upgrades, because they always seem so random (surely that's just due to my general ignorance)

More of a wish list than an actual prediction, but...

New:
The Brood
Midnight Cowboy
Mulholland Dr.
Ruggles of Red Gap

Upgrades:
Sullivan's Travels
Summertime

Perhaps I'll land at least one correct prediction!

Pipe dreams masquerading as predictions:

Kafka
Mulholland Drive
Lost Highway
The Brood
Beyond the Hills
Cries and Whispers
Summertime (I chose the last two because I just bought them)

Cries and Whispers is definitely a priority for them to reissue and must just be held up by a single issue. Summertime is almost certain to be reissued eventually. If you held out this long, why give in now?

To make the rereleases happen, of course.

I know Gilliam has already confirmed The Fisher King, Richard LaGravenese ‏tweeted the following

Looting Criterion closet w/the fabulous Mercedes Ruehl 4 new Criterion BluRay "The Fisher King" @Criterion

So those two have been interviewed for the disc.

March 2015 Predictions:

A Taste of Cherry
Hiroshima mon amour
Odd Man Out
The Kid
The Soft Skin

I know it's a long shot but I would love to see Mr. Arkadin come to blu, especially after F. And I am (im)patiently waiting for Le Samourai.

I've been off the forums for some time and rather out of the loop. Does Criterion currently have access to more Bresson?

I would love for Lancelot to be released. I've only seen it once some time ago.
