O grande clássico do mês é O Circo (1928), de Charles Chaplin. Inclusive aconteceu algo interessante no Oscar daquele ano. O nome de Chaplin foi retirado da lista dos indicados de Melhor Ator mas ele não saiu perdendo. Pelo contrário. Chaplin levou pra casa um Oscar Honorário “pela sua genialidade”.
A capa do Blu-ray é de Mark Chiarello, que durante muitos anos foi Diretor de Arte da DC Comics.

O Pecado de Cluny Brown (1946) , de Ernst Lubitsch, saiu no Brasil pela Studio Classics e ainda está disponível no site oficial da distribuidora.

Polyester (1981), do John Waters, saiu por aqui pela Cult Classics. Uma curiosidade: Ele teve uma indicação a pior atriz coajuvante para Edith Massey pelo The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, um precursor do Framboesa de Ouro.

Momento Inesquecível (1983), de Bill Forsyth com Burt Lancaster, saiu aqui pela Vinny Filmes.

De Punhos Cerrados (1965, Itália) e The Cloud-Capped Star (1960), considerado um dos melhores filmes indianos de todos os tempos, nunca saíram por aqui.
