And not a single person has mentioned Warlock or Boxing Helena as possibilities because...?

I'm leaning towards Leaving Las Vegas here. Maybe paired spines of that and Figgis' The Loss of Sexual Innocence (Sony title)?

I'd totally buy a Boxing Helena blu, but I'm weird like that.

Well, you beat me to it on Warlock, but I can still mention the woefully ignored Tale of a Vampire.

Just met Julian at Texas Frightmare Weekend and he says it was for the 30th anniversary of A ROOM WITH A VIEW and thinks it's due in August or so.

That's odd because the streaming version on Hulu is credited to Shout!....

That's part of Shout's Westchester purchase - which was a streaming media deal - so that they could have content for a digital channel / Hulu competitor. It doesn't seem to affect homevideo rights for any of the Westchester films, nor even streaming rights for the films Criterion has from Caidan/Westchester.

Awesome.

I used to do my hair like Joel's in college - just rolled right out of bed and went straight to class.

In the cool stakes, I think Jarmusch just pips it.

Someone in the comments for that tease points out that it's likely the film associated with this clue:

They've posted a picture of Fassbinder on the set of Berlin Alexanderplatz. Hopefully this is a hint at an upgrade coming soon.

doubt it means anything, but they upgrade one big box set per year since 2009 (Monterey Pop, Brakhage, Fanny & Alexander, Samurai Trilogy, Cassavetes, Tati), so Alexanderplatz could definitely be the 2015 box upgrade. That would be a lot of fassbinder in one year.

My Own Private Idaho popped up on Instagram, so presumably a blu upgrade is forthcoming:

Hey, maybe they'll tack on James Franco's presumably stupid River Phoenix project assembled from alternate takes left over from the making of My Own Private Idaho as an extra!

So long as they invite absolutely no one from that awful speculative documentary to participate in any of their extras
