I'm still wondering when these DVDs will be released
Gates of Heaven
La Dolce Vita
any films of Satyajit Ray
Silent Movie
Visconti's The Leopard
those are 5 films off the top of my head that I've personally been anticipating.
Anybody know anything about these? Or any DVDs that they're wondering about?
I wish I could help you man. I'm surprised La Dolce Vita doesn't have one yet, wow. I've never seen it but I've heard a whole fuck of a lot about how great it is for awhile now...I would have bet money it had a dvd, that sucks.
Anyway, there is really only one film off the top of my head that I really really really want in my collection that has not been released on dvd...
SHORT CUTS!
I think it's probably Altman's best...fucking awesome movie. I have no idea why it hasn't been released yet. If criterion is ever bored...if they would just slap together a 15-20 dollar 1 disc of this movie, I would be happy with it.

Nice Edit 8)
Does Criterion still have the rights though?
if they did they would've released it by now. but I have the laserdisc! HAHAHA!
I've been waiting for Satyajit Ray's films to be on DVD since I got my DVD player. The Apu Trilogy is out in the UK (Region 2) with some extras and Chess Players (Shatranj Ke Khiladi) is coming up. The Music Room (Jalsaghar) is out in France, with a VHS quality transfer. I might get one of those cheap Apex region-free players that can do PAL->NTSC conversion just for the Apu Trilogy.

I'm also waiting for Short Cuts, as well as the Robert Wise version of The Haunting.

Even if I did, I wouldn't get it. It's gotta get a dvd sooner or later...it was a big hit back in 93, wasn't it? Almost as big as the Player?
Where the hell is The Kid Stays In The Picture also, I forgot about that one...is it ever going to get a freaking dvd? It's way overdue.
I want God Is Great, I'm Not too. It's a so-so movie but Audrey Tautou is...

Oh yeah, forgot about After Hours. I've never seen it but I've always planned to as soon as it gets a dvd.
After Hours has been sitting on my Netflix "DVD's waiting for release" list for a year and a half now. I fear its release will never come.
Criterion may or may not have the rights to La Dolce Vita. All that was officially reported before was that they were in discussion with Artisan to release the film through dvd. Many people believe though that a La Dolce Vita release is still imminent at any time now.
SoNowThen, it has been reported By Criterion that a L'Eclisse may get released sometime in the future. Diary of a Country Priest, actually should come out any time. They released another Besson film this year, but when talking about which Besson to release first, Diary of a Country Priest and the one already released were talked about as being the first to be released by them on the director. They may be putting off that release though for a little bit before announcing it. But I know it is in the works and should be coming soon. I Vitelloni also seems like distinct possibility as Criterion, but no word on it or others.

I know this isn't very artsy of me, but I am looking for the PCU DVD. That movie rocks!
Mac's av reminded me. Is Ed Wood coming out with a DVD soon?
Quote from: bonanzatazMac's av reminded me. Is Ed Wood coming out with a DVD soon?
It was supposed to, but... From the Digital Bits:
We're hearing from a number of good sources who tell us that Buena Vista's recently announced Ed Wood DVD caught the notice of none other than the film's director, Tim Burton. The good news is that Burton's decided that he would like to add more content to what was already announced. The bad news is that, because of this, the disc will probably be delayed until early 2003 [looking more like late 2003]. But let's focus on that good news, shall we? Now maybe Ed Wood's gonna be the kind of disc it should have been in the first place! We're willing to be it will be worth the wait.
