That posting coincided with a Peter Weir retrospective playing somewhere or something.

My guesses:

Kiss Me Deadly
The Game
Nagisa's Youth Trilogy

Ian guessed Costa-Gavras' State of Siege on another forum. I believe him.

Howzabout Le notti bianche, with that beautiful snowy canal at the end?

Let's try the reverse psychology tack: Not the Gorin set

Not a Great Dictator

Anything that puts the snow and boat clues to bed

Not Heaven's Gate (Hey, it's as likely as the Gorin at this point)

The six films directed by Kinuyo Tanaka presented as a box set! 1953 Love Letter (恋文 Koibumi)
1955 Tsuki wa noborinu (月は上りぬ)
1955 Chibusa yo eien nare (乳房よ永遠なれ)
1960 The Wandering Princess (1960 film) (流転の王妃 Ruten no Ouhi)
1961 Girls of the Night (1961 film)　(女ばかりの夜 Onna bakari no yoru)
1962 Love Under the Crucifix (1962 film) (お吟さま Ogin sama)

Le Cercle Rouge
Kiss Me Deadly
The Terrorizer
Kuroneko

Personally I want the Gorin set delayed until even eclipse sets are released on blu-ray as default.

Has Kuroneko received a theatrical tour yet? If not, we can forget about this until late 2011 or early 2012.

I think he wishes Criterion releases this

A "The Complete Films Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka" Eclipse box is a good idea. Fits right among the other Japanese films Eclipse boxes. A famous Japanese actress directing films... sounds like a good addition to the DVD repertoire of of both female film directors and famous Japanese actresses (cf. "Noriko trilogy" - Setsuko Hara). The first film is written by Yasujiro Ozu and stars Chishu Ryu.

A few months ago, I would've never guessed a Kinuyo Tanaka director's set, with those films being unreleased on DVD in native Japan. But with the stops Criterion pulled with the Silent Naruse set, I won't be surprised anymore... Although I'm guessing that if they are putting out an Eclipse set for the next announcement, I'd think it won't be a Japanese release.... Although I am still still hoping for more Kurosawa BDs... Madadayo or Rashomon.... still.

The next Melville in my opinion should be LEON MORIN--- if it's at all possible (and not owned by SC).

It's still making the rounds.

"Leon Morin" is, indeed, Studio Canal.

What happened with their plans for A Man Escaped? A couple of years ago it seemed like a certainty, but since recently it's not being mentioned either on this Forum or anywhere else...

Night Patrol by Jackie Hong. bet.

Ryan Gallagher pointed this out, the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas page says "DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES," so that is getting announced today.

Its stunning to me that people are going to purchase this film for the potentially fourth time (and I'm being charitable and not counting a VHS purchase).
