Classic movie label the Criterion Collection is to launch on Blu-ray in the U.K. on April 18 following a multi-year home entertainment distribution pact with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Until now Criterion has only been available in the U.S. and Canada.

SPHE will bring selected titles from Criterion’s extensive catalog and future new release slate to the U.K. for the first time. The first wave of films, featuring all the supplements from the U.S. editions along with their exclusive artwork and packaging, are “Grey Gardens,” “It Happened One Night,” Roman Polanski’s “Macbeth,” “Only Angels Have Wings,” “Speedy” and “Tootsie.”

Criterion Collection chief executive officer Jonathan Turell said: “We are excited to launch the Criterion Collection in the U.K. Starting with these six great titles, we are happy to be able to bring selections from Criterion to our very devoted audience in the U.K. We are thrilled to build upon our strong relationship with Sony and look forward to expanding the Criterion audience.”

“Criterion represents the very best of classic and contemporary filmmaking and we are delighted to bring this prestigious collection to the U.K. for the first time,” added Aodan Coburn, executive VP, international, SPHE. “This partnership demonstrates SPHE’s continued commitment to growing our distribution business.”

I'm not sure if there is a sale on at the moment, but I've seen a lot of US Criterion releases drop drastically in price on Amazon UK, so quite a few are around £20. I haven't ordered from the US to the UK before so not sure if I'll get hit with some fees, but £20 for a US release seems like a steal, so I've gone for it and picked up a few. Might be worth checking out if you've had your eye on a particular US release for a while.

Amazon includes VAT in the price so you shouldn’t get any fees and despite their delivery estimates they’re surprisingly quick from the US .

Is there any point getting TP:FWWM if one has TP box ?
Great question, I was thinking the same.
The last box set had all the series both old and new and the movie, the extras on all the discs especially the movie were amazing… it gave me more of an answer as to who David Bowie’s character was and what happened to him…
can’t think they missed anything….now if they just release blue velvet……

Never seen that one. Rented it once with many others but did not have time to watch. Heard good things ...
I watched it when it was first released on Netflix and remember liking it, so I'll probably pick it up once it's in the 2 for £25 sale.
 
Great to see Love and Basketball get a UK release. I was really hoping it would as the blu ray has been impossible to find over here.
 
Menace II Society, yes. Great film. Wayyyyy better than boyz in the hood.

Wondering are these for sale in amazon Uk or ...
