Out-of-Print Criterion Collection Editions

But here on the Channel, we’re thrilled to showcase some of the special editions we once released on LaserDisc, DVD, and Blu-ray, along with the supplements that accompanied them. Among the first featured titles in this new ongoing series, you’ll find Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi masterpiece ROBOCOP, the all-time classic western HIGH NOON, and the monster-movie landmark KING KONG—featuring the first commentary track ever recorded.
