I have quite a lot of the ones you do and really want I want I don't currently have. I'll do a similar montage of all my Criterion titles.

Yeah, amazing collection there, jealous... Criterion's sleeve designs can be hit and miss (although I think they hit more than they miss), I really love the design of Blow-Out...

My big problem with Criterion BR's is that I'm holding off picking up a bunch of Criterion DVDs - Berlin Alexanderplatz, Stranger than Paradise etc. in case they upgrade 'em to Blu.

I love most of their artwork choices as they are always distinctive – the Dazed and Confused one, for example – and, when they use poster artwork, as is the case with Rosemary's Baby, they choose wisely.

I know what my wish list is, with The Devil's Backbone near the top behind Eyes Without a Face, which I already have the Criterion DVD.

Yeah, top of my wish-list has gotta be Andrei Rublev. I have the Russian Blu which is the shorter International Cut (still worthwhile), but I'm hoping Criterion might be able to do something with their longer Scorsese cut. Not sure if the elements will be good enough to do a Blu but if anyone can turn it around it's the Criterion crew. That was my first Criterion DVD bought waayyy back in the day and I still cherish it...
