''We're rapidly approaching a time when anyone living anywhere in the world can theoretically enjoy access to the canon of world cinema once reserved for film students in world capitals like New York or Paris. But availability isn't everything: people need to know something exists before they can choose to see it.''

Lets have some recommendations of things which you have enjoyed over the last year as far as reissues go.

Picked up a remastered Full Contact by Ringo Lam fairly recently; meanwhile, I am considering this version of Hard Boiled for the extra footage.

Sight and Sound say that 'Grand Illusion' is missing some scenes. I don't know if Warners is going to fix it. You need 'Le Crime de Monsieur Lange', obv, but it might be worth holding out to see what WB do.

yeah I wz reading that review yesterday and I wondered if someone here might still think it was worth getting.
