wpqx,

I rent DVDs from Netflix, and none of the films I listed are there (except Dreyer's Vampyr which I was not aware of.)

I have taped some of the Bunuel I mentioned from TCM (TV) and some other films including Ugetsu, but the quality is not the same taping them from TV, and I have not yet watched them. Still, they are, as you said, available. At least those are. But not a lot of the others...

I check Criterian's upcoming DVDs from time to time. And I think someone on this forum told me Pickpocket was going to be released over here sometime this winter.

Thanks for telling me about Killer of Sheep. Maybe IFC or TCM will show it sometime and I can tape it.

My DVD player only plays region 1. 

And let us hope Passenger (with the great Jack Nicholson in the early days!) will finally make it to DVD.

The two Bergman films you want to see I am not familiar with. Not did I know about Louis Malle's The Silent World.

It is wonderful the movies we have available to us, but it also fun to anticipate and hope for the movies we can't yet see.
