Criterion, the boutique, home-video distribution company, began publishing DVDs over 20 years ago with a reissue of Jean Renoir’s 1937 film Grand Illusion. The now out-of-print title has the distinction of the collection’s #1 spine, a cataloguing system that’s turned each release into a collector’s item. Now Criterion has revealed the title for spine #1000 — and it’s a monster release.

This fall, Criterion will release a Blu-ray collector’s set of all the Godzilla films from Japan’s Shōwa era (1954-1975). That’s 15 films — Godzilla (1954), Godzilla Raids Again (1955), King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963), Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964), Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964), Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965), Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966), Son of Godzilla (1967), Destroy All Monsters (1968), All Monsters Attack (1969), Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971, Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972), Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), and Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975) — presented with HD digital transfers.

In true Criterion fashion, the set will also come packaged with prestigious supplemental material, including a hardcover book full of film notes, interviews, and new art. The box set will arrive on Oct. 29. 2019.
