Shelf Help
This tweet shows a picture of a DVD library in the Criterion offices. This could mean nothing, but on the right, there are some older releases of what could be possible forthcoming titles. I can make out a copy of Shampoo, and (I think) Bringing up Baby. Does anyone recognize anything else? There is also an old Pagnol DVD.

Re: Forthcoming: Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
I spy a copy of Sony's Safe and Ford at Fox / Murnau/Borzage boxes up top
EDIT: And one of Universal's Glamor sets (could be Deitrich, Lombard, or West)
SECOND EDIT: I don't believe that is Safe after all

That Almodovar box set has never been released before.

BFI's Napoleon is in the bottom shelf, a bit banged up (as most copies that crossed the Atlantic were).
Here's an embiggened, slightly sharpened version of the actual shelves:

This is like an eye test designed by a sadist, but I do spot MoC's The Passion of Joan of Arc, This is Spinal Tap, and sex, lies, and videotape.

Look a little closer, it's actually Monkeys, Monkeys, Ted & Alice.

Re: Forthcoming: Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
I approve of that reference, TNR. The white case DVD three down from Bringing Up Baby is a Fox Studio Classics title (remember those?), but I can't make out which one

Re: Forthcoming: Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Is the bottom shelf possibly the titles they're finished with? Napoleon's the exception, but there's the Pagnol disc, Lone Wolf & Cub, and I think the Warners Being There. (This could be an indicator that Napoleon's release has been shelved)

The other white-case DVD next to what domino is saying appears to be the Universal's 100th anniversary edition of The Breakfast Club, and I think the Blu-Ray next to it is also The Breakfast Club.

And that's The Awful Truth at the head of the second shelf.

I believe you're right, esp since none of the Fox titles fit the character spacingThe Narrator Returns wrote:The other white-case DVD next to what domino is saying appears to be the Universal's 100th anniversary edition of The Breakfast Club, and I think the Blu-Ray next to it is also The Breakfast Club.

Re: Forthcoming: Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
I think the three white spines in a box are the U.K. Dietrich set, which would make the Universal Glamor box also probable for Deitrich: Dietrich & Von Sternberg set coming?

Anyone have any guesses about the six matching DVD cases on the top shelf? That's the one really throwing me off.

It's in a box and they're full size cases, that's all I got

Re: Shelf Help
This is probably just be me spit-balling, and the top part of the spine is giving me some pause, but the one next to the six identical-looking DVDs might be a UK DVD of A Scanner Darkly.

Does anyone know what the black DVD between Bringing Up Baby and The Breakfast Club is? Looks like a Warner release.

The spine on the other(?) side reminds me of the Second Sight Ophuls DVDs, but it looks to be a Blu-ray, so dunnoThe Narrator Returns wrote:This is probably just be me spit-balling, and the top part of the spine is giving me some pause, but the one next to the six identical-looking DVDs might be a UK DVD of A Scanner Darkly.
