thanks for the suggestion thread. The Blu Collection certainly did a good job on film selecting; some of the films on the list have never been released in good packages/versions. Really looking forward to these releases:thumbs:
one suggestion. Could the releases come with more subtitles(good for international buyers other than Korea and English speaking countries)? kimchiDVD added Chinese and other subtitles in their exclusive steelbooks, and I will be extremely happy to see The Blu Collection do some similar work:D

I think Duncan Jones' Moon and Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men truly deserve quality releases. I'm so looking forward to what the Blu Collection has to offer! :scat:
 
Films that I think fit into the Blu Collection and I'd like to see released:

American Beauty
Sideways
Garden State
Up In the Air
Blue Valentine

Guilty pleasures that sort of fit into the Blu Collection and I'd like to see released:

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Youth in Revolt
Adventureland

I look forward to seeing your full set once it's complete! :)
I do have to ask, is there any real difference between buying #2 + #3 as boxset vs separately? Other than the obvious price reduction. I mean in terms of extras. May be a different slip for the boxset?

Also, what do you mean by "Wide Release"?
 
@AlienKing The only double-pack that's been released so far has been the François Ozon one and in all honesty, I don't think there's much of a difference besides it probably being a little cheaper as a bundle. I believe it's just the two films together with a 1/4 slip going around the bottom to hold them together.

Here's the pic from Kimchidvd:
