Sugarland is the only Spielberg I could conceivably see Criterion releasing, and I would kill for it. Just a tremendous work. I’d love an interview from screenwriters Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins. I remember reading what might be the last joint interview with them about 20ish years ago, and they both seemed very pissed with Spielberg for reneging on pounts owed for work they did on Close Encounters and Robbins solo on E.T.

Regarding A.F.I. shorts, I’d love to get HD transfers of Todd Field and Darren Aronofsky’s, should Criterion ever release some of their work. They’re floating around in poor VHS transfers

Is there a chance that "Un Beau Matin". by Mia Hansen-Løve can see the light in the Criterion catalogue ?
It's released by Mubi in the UK; Sony ? For the US.
Whilst I understand the choice of "Bergman Island" by Criterion, Léa Seydoux, as well as the whole cast was so touching in this subtle movie, that it is sad that it does not sees the light of Criterion. This was my favorite movie by Mia Hansen-Løve since "Goodbye First Love" which I bought in the UK (Artificial Eye; apparently OOP now).
Of course no Blu-Ray release for these two movies in France were I live.

As I remember, there was a Criterion laserdisc of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS.

I read somewhere that one of the titles they almost got was Schindler's List

Boulevard Nights is a great suggestion. One of the most iconic Los Angeles films. The WB Archive disc presentation disc looks surprisingly decent, but it deserves so much more

The Spook Who Sat by the Door with some of Ivan Dixon’s TV work would be great. It’s about damn time that Herbie Hancock’s score got an official release

Hud UHD
Jason and the Argonauts UHD
Paper Moon UHD
O Lucky Man
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid UHD

Bad Company
Barry Lyndon [4K UHD]
Brazil [4K UHD]
Ikarie XB 1
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid [4K UHD]
Ruggles of Red Gap

Not an official guess, but I'd love to see it: Dog Day Afternoon [4K UHD]

On the Movies That Made Me podcast, Wyatt Cenac's mentioned that Criterion tried to get this for his Adventures in Moviegoing and couldn't get the rights to play it. So the film is on their radar, and I hope they are still trying to get the film.

I Know Where I'm Going! (upgrade)
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (upgrade)
Sleuth (because a drop of water every day for a thousand years might crack the Bristol Myers Squibb stone)
Passion Fish
Talk to Her
Mon oncle d'Amerique

I’ll amend to add the following Bristol Myers Squibb hostages:

Sleuth
The Heartbreak Kid ‘72

Greed 100th anniversary blu-ray
The Short-Films of Man-Ray 4K
Los Olvidados 4K
The Devils 4K
Bad Timing blu-ray upgrade

Total shot in the dark but I would not complain if Criterion issued something for the 1994 comedy Greedy

World Cinema Project 5
Isle of Dogs
Spellbound
Querelle
Peeping Tom

The Complete Ozu
Killer of Sheep BD
Ikarie XB 1 BD
Water Lilies BD
Portrait of a Lady on Fire UHD upgrade

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Chocolat
4 Little Girls
Jean Eustache box
Trouble in Paradise upgrade

Did Bressonaire get laid off?

He got executed by the official Criterion firing squad for his leaks.

Peeping Tom and A Story of Floating Weeds & Floating Weeds have updated screenshots.

titles are up: the three films mentioned in the post before this one, + Emitai, Xala, and Ceddo (Ousmane Sembene), Anatomy of a Fall (Triet), and Girlfight (Kusama).

And it was spectacular. There was an early programming function where you could program chapters to play back different cuts of the film, the original, the SE, what would become the final cut, or even your own version.

Given the recent report that Janus Films will handle its physical release as well as the (very quick) announcement of the Japanese Blu-ray, I'll put forth that Godzilla Minus One will be in Criterion's announcements either this month or next. I suspect it will only be a Blu-ray (no 4K) and am naively hoping that the B&W version will be included.

This is my only guess at this time.

Godzilla Minus One
Pandora’s Box
Jean Eustache
The Secret of Roan Inish
The Man Who Wasn’t There

Mods are run thin so I’ll keep this open but please refrain from guessing until mid-next week
