Prestigious US [URL="http://www.criterion.com/"]movie distributor Criterion[/URL] has lined up 13 titles to be released on Blu-ray in the coming months. The company, which is famed for its brilliant restoration of classic movies such as [I]The Man Who Fell To Earth[/I] and [I]Dr Strangelove[/I], has pencilled in an October release for its first-ever HD line-up.
