    Ahhh these are so cool! IT pains me to watch these in a way, because I sold much of a my nearly complete (pre-bluray-era) Criterion Collection, I had about 248+ or so of them, almost all of them released up to that point. And I know many of them are streaming now, and downloadable etc, and the reason I sold them is a rather dark one; heroin. I'm 4+ years clean now thankfully; but much of my record collection and for the most part ALL of my DVDs and some guitars and amps were all sold throughout the worst of it. Thankfully my life is happy and joyous and infinitely beautiful now, and yeah, they're just 'things', but I still miss seeing those racks and racks filled with spine-number cataloged collection at my disposal. Had all the Out Of Print ones too. Oh well, life goes on.
    RIP Lou

      +Adam Herbst That's actually not a bad recommendation, but I think it skirts that "masterpiece"/"schlock" line too closely for them to make a safe decision. Added to which, we don't know if the current copyright holders would be willing to divest rights for just the one film.
