Programmes from Cinema de Notre Temps seem to appear on Criterions quite often now. It's a great series. Can anyone compile a complete list of episodes that appear on Criterion DVDs?
1960s:
Cinéma de notre temps: Jean Vigo (1964)
Cinéma de notre temps: Luis Buñuel (1964)
Cinéma de notre temps: Abel Gance, portrait brisé (1964)
Cinéma de notre temps: La nouvelle vague par elle-même (1964)
Cinéma de notre temps: Jean-Luc Godard ou Le cinéma au défi (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: François Truffaut ou L'esprit critique (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: Carl Th. Dreyer (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: Roger Leenhardt ou Le dernier humaniste (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: Robert Bresson - Ni vu, ni connu (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: Sacha Guitry (1965)
Cinéma de notre temps: Et pourtant ils tournent (1966)
Cinéma de notre temps: Marcel Pagnol ou Le cinéma tel qu'on le parle (1966)
Cinéma de notre temps: Portrait de Michel Simon par Jean Renoir (1966)
Cinéma de notre temps: Pasolini, l'enragé (1966)
Cinéma de notre temps: Jean Renoir, le patron (1966)
Cinéma de notre temps: Jacques Becker (1967)
Cinéma de notre temps: Le dinosaure et le bébe, dialogue en huit parties entre Fritz Lang et Jean-Luc Godard (1967)
Cinéma de notre temps: La première vague (1968)
Cinéma de notre temps: René Clair (1969)
1970s:
Cinéma de notre temps: François Truffaut: dix ans, dix films (1970)
Cinéma de notre temps: Jean-Pierre Melville: portrait en neuf poses (1971)
1990s:
Cinéma de notre temps: Souleymane Cissé (1990)
Cinéma de notre temps: Jacques Rivette - Le veilleur (1990)
Cinéma de notre temps: Claude Chabrol, l'entomologiste (1991)
Cinéma de notre temps: Eric Rohmer, preuves à l'appui (1994)
Cinéma de notre temps: Alain Cavalier, sept chapitres, cinq jours, 2 pièces-cuisine (1996)
I have Jean-Pierre Melville: Portrait in Nine Poses on DVD-r. It's great. But I doubt we'll ever see it on any DVD, due to the clip from Midnight Cowboy and Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin' " on the soundtrack. The way that the clip and the music are cut into the film against Melville walking to his studio mean that it would difficult to edit out. I was a bit disappointed, when the complete version was not included on Le Cercle Rouge as it is a rare and essential document of a true Master of Cinema.
There are also three excellent Cinéaste de notre temps that spring to mind:
Cinéaste de notre temps: David Lynch - Don't Look at Me (1989)
Cinéaste de notre temps: HHH, Un portrait de Hou Hsiao-Hsien (1997)
Cinéaste de notre temps: The Scorsese Machine (1991)
Perhaps, The Scorsese Machine could be included on a future Scorsese shorts/documentaries set: What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?; It's Not Just You, Murray!; The Big Shave; Street Scenes; Italianamerican; American Boy; Made in Milan, no?

A huge list could be compiled of worthwhile documentaries. Just the BBC Arena strand (which produced Wisconsin Death Trip & Searching For The Wrong Eyed Jesus for example) alone throws up several interesting titles: Shadowing The Third Man must be a shoo-in for a Third Man reissue and there are other fine documentaries in their catalogue on Greene, as well as the great Orson Welles Story. From another BBC series, Omnibus, it's a shame Criterion didn't pick up Cracked Actor for the Man Who Fell To Earth disc, but I'm sure there are countless other worthy Omnibus & Arena docs, especially from the 70s and 80s.

Yes, from Arena, eps, The Orson Welles Story, Roberto Rossellini, A Very British Affair (Powell & Pressburger), Dear Antonioni, Luchino Visconti...
Important also to distinguish between say the Renoir Omnibuses which are complete, and say the John Ford Omnibus Pt 1 which is an edit down for rights reasons...

Non-Criterion but can be added to your 'others' list. There is also the Director: Alan Clarke BBC documentary that was in Blue Underground's Alan Clarke Collection boxset.
Under The Roofs Of Paris has a 1966 BBC interview with Rene Clair.
