Ouch. All I can say is that I hope that Criterion picks up the pace on their magnificent blu-ray releasing of collection titles before the library is further eroded!

@tylermays, I suggest that you check out clips on YouTube to see what you think about the films you mention. I checked out clips from the Flamenco trilogy and decided that I could probably live without owning it. I'm a Criterion completist myself so I intend to get 'em all, but for practical reasons I won't extend that to Eclipse. Here's a link for a decent quality clip of Saura's Blood Wedding:

The only one that I really want to make sure I pick up is Grand Illusion, because I have been meaning to get it for years, and this is a good reason to go for it now. In addition, I have been really interested in Mayerling and the Carlos Saura Eclipse, but I don't know if they are worth getting, sight-unseen. Does anyone have any thoughts on those two?

The enormity of this list is quite a shame and I hope it's just a one time thing. It hurts my soul.
