Article Summary
- Criterion’s October blu-ray lineup is stacked, led by The Silence of the Lambs in 4K and a massive Complete Kubrick set.
- Major blu-ray and 4K announcements include Gone With the Wind, Backrooms, Disclosure Day, Sing Street, and 54.

Blu-ray and physical media are important to many collectors and me, and while it can be a chore these days to get your hands on the discs, nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than cracking open a new Blu-ray. Every week, we will review the week's announcements and news in physical media, highlight the labels still unearthing films that have somehow never been released, and review new discs we have added to our collections. Let's dive into the week, shall we?
