Just found out yesterday that the Italian crime/drama film, Gomorrah, is slated to be released on The Criterion Collection on November 24th here in the states. It pretty much has the same features included on the UK 2-disc release, but it will have an added essay booklet.

A late 60's film which Robert Redford and Gene Hackman starred in, Downhill Racer, is getting a Criterion release in November.

Anyone pick up their REPULSION release yet?

I was tempted, but have the ABUK release so I may wait a while... Criterion's are such expensive little discs! :pout:

Yeah,they are a bit.Definetly for the collector.

I've never really understood the high pricing of Criterion DVDs - their early releases were marked up at just under £30 - and you got a non-anamorphic port from a Laser Disc for that. Madness. They're still a great label though, but I haven't many of their titles due to their pricing.

If you've got half a mil in the bank,then EVERY numbered spine on a shelf would look cool.:happy:
But then again,you can have 20 yellow box spines for far less cash!:clap:

I'd rather go for the yellow boxes. Too much arty stuff in that Criterion collection for my liking - give me some good old exploitation goodness any day! :)

Hear hear!:rockon:
