Today on facebook, the Criterion Collection asked: If you could choose one film to be added to the collection, which would it be? C'mon everybody on facebook, let's storm them with the name of our favorite film!!

thanks Lee!


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Maybe Focus Features is asking to much $$$ as I have written to Criterion without a response.  Either that or Focus Features wants to hold onto it.  ???
It's one of the most significant films Focus has ever produced. I haven't read anything about a ten year commerative DVD (with many extra features) being released.
The film made $44,000,000 in DVD sales a decade ago and I'm quite certain it would still be a moneymaker for Focus if they ever released a (worthy) commerative DVD.

I'm planning to ask Diana Ossana this question when I'm in Tucson next month at the LOFT Film Festival. She hinted that there was a reason why there are few commemorative resissues.

I believe that at one event Diana did mention a Criterion release, but I can't recall when or where it took place.

Great, Lee!

Somebody really does need to ask that question!

We can't wait another 10 years for it!  ;D

I know! 

I'm sure many of us want to ask that question.

If Lee does it, we don't have to annoy poor Diana with the same question all of us.
