I rented the Criterion DVD of My Own Private Idaho this weekend. It was excellent. They had a separate DVD with deleted scenes and interviews. I am definitley interested in buying some in the future.
I haven't been able to as all my money is going to music right now, as I need to stock up for my trip to Europe. Hopefully, I'll be able to start buying Criterions when I get back as there have been some great releases.
Anyways, Lord of the Flies is getting Criterion treatment.
Traffic isn't that rare on Criterion Edition. I was going to get it but then remembered I felt ill from the camera work, so would hardly ever watch it.
So far I have:
Eyes Without A Face
3 Women
There are lots that I would like, some of them are:
Diabolique
Insomnia
Solaris
The Red Shoes
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Kagemusha (most Akira Kurosawa in CE)
Le Circle Rouge
Short Cuts
The Third Man
Wages of Fear
Youth of the Beast
The Lady Vanishes
Tout Va Bien
and more, found all the ones I want on one site, but too expensive to get a load.
Love Criterion and what they do for classic films. So far I own these:
Au hasard Balthazar
Branded To Kill
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Hard Boiled OOP
The Hidden Fortress
Hoop Dreams
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Special Edition Two-Disc Set
Sanjuro
Seven Samurai
Straw Dogs OOP
Stray Dog
The Sword Of Doom
Wild Strawberries
Yojimbo
I hope to add
The Seventh Seal
Rashomon
Eyes Without A Face
Gimme Shelter
High And Low
The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
Tokyo Drifter
along with many others.

^ Yes! I was debating whether I should buy the boxset, or just Samurai Rebellion and Kill!.
One thing is for sure... I'll be getting Le Samouraï

Everybody should check out the F for Fake Criterion. It is a great Orson Welles film. Right up there with Citizen Kane for me.
Also Man Bites Dog. Criterion has done better in the feature department but $30 is worth it for one of the most amazing movie experiences you'll ever have.

I have been wanting to replace my video with the dvd of the film, didn't realise it was on Criterion Edition, will look into that.
Since I last posted in here I have got a little collection of Criterions going, have about 20 of the dvds at the moment, but lots and lots I would like on Criterion Edition. So prettyyyyyy. My favourite out of the lot is The Lady Vanishes, glad to have the film on Criterion.

. They're expensive but worth it. I would recommend trying Borders books, or Amazon.com for pretty good prices on Criterion titles.
