The previous thread was causing a lot of double-postings due to people getting impatient with the load time after submitting, so let's see if a new thread can help these issues

I thought the same. It's a much needed release, too, given the age of the old DVD. I could see them pairing the release with Barton Fink.

One caveat to this being correct is that the jacket doesn't really match anything Thornton wears in that film as far as I can tell.

You spelled "Il Sorpasso" wrong.

First thought was a Blu-Ray upgrade for Missing, though considering nothing is in blue, I doubt it.

ordinaryperson · #7 Post by **ordinaryperson** » Fri May 29, 2015 8:35 pm

"The Invisble Man" is the only one I can think of.

Also possible The Man Who Never Was since they love Ronald Neame-directed films so much..

Dude, Where's My Coat?

Well it probably isn't Trenchcoat.

jedgeco · #11 Post by **jedgeco** » Fri May 29, 2015 8:43 pm

Joseph and the Amazing Question Mark Trenchcoat

I'm going to go with that. I think there was a restoration of it recently. Even if there wasn't a restoration it seems like the more reasonable answer.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess Alfred Hitchcock's Secret Agent (1936), starring Madeleine Carroll, Peter Lorre, John Gielgud, and Robert Young.

Criterion has a number of other Hitchcock films of this period up on iTunes, but not this one. But it has been previously released on Criterion LaserDisc.

I was trying to figure if somehow The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (i.e., London Fog raincoat) might fit, but that doesn't seem right.

So with clues out for Barton fink llewyn Davis and man who wasn't there are they doing an existential Coen boxset?

justeleblanc · #16 Post by **justeleblanc** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:09 pm

Been a while since I posted on this forum, but I think I've got it.

CODE (coat) UNKNOWN

keeproductions · #17 Post by **keeproductions** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:11 pm

All reasonable guesses.

I'll add The Strangers from "Dark City."

Well, I believe Kino lost the rights to all of the Haneke's, so it's possible...

matrixschmatrix · #19 Post by **matrixschmatrix** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:30 pm

First thought was The Bespoke Overcoat- the question being the overcoat responding to someone speaking to it? Who knows.

theflirtydozen · #20 Post by **theflirtydozen** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:41 pm

They're going to rereleaae Five Easy Pieces and we'll all turn into giant question marks from confusion.

ordinaryperson · #21 Post by **ordinaryperson** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:41 pm

This just in from the Blu-Ray forums

Definitely is "Missing".

criterion10 · #22 Post by **criterion10** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:51 pm

Edit: ordinaryperson beat me to it.

GIN · #23 Post by **GIN** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:54 pm

I'm focused on this: Why is the belt so low?

justeleblanc · #24 Post by **justeleblanc** » Fri May 29, 2015 9:58 pm

Simply because people wear coats in MISSING?

#25 Post by **domino harvey** » Fri May 29, 2015 10:02 pm

There are like a million better ways to make a clue for Missing than that
