Criterion doesn’t make it a habit of disappointing their fans - to call them the greatest and most selflessly wonderful company in the history of human commercialism would be something of an understatement. That being said, their recently announced November line-up of DVD and Blu-rays is pretty incredible, even for them.
Within the span of a few minutes this afternoon, Criterion teased out confirmation of several of their most hotly rumored titles. The biggest bombshell was incontestably a box-set titled “America Lost and Found: The BBS Story,” an anthology of films produced by film pioneers Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider, and Steve Blauner that includes Head, Five Easy Pieces](Five Easy Pieces (1970) - Movie | Moviefone), The Last Picture Show, Easy Rider, *The King of Marvin Gardens, *A Safe Place, and Jack Nicholson’s directorial debut Drive, He Said. All titles are receiving new, restored high-definition digital transfers, and all titles are available on blu-ray in glorious 1080p. The set streets on 11/23 and at $99.99 is an absolute steal, and one of Criterion’s finest coups yet.Filed under: Home Entertainment
