Criterion announces September Blu-ray titles: The Thin Red Line, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Breathless, Charade

God help me but I’m going to be completely broke by the end of this year if this keeps up. I’m sorry to sing the same song over and over again but Criterion proves month after month that they can read my mind, choosing some of my favourite films to bring to Blu-ray.
