November's Blu-ray and 4K releases take us to Versailles, a Georgia plantation, and off-planet

As the holiday shopping season arrives, November brings a plethora of familiar film favorites back in physical media form, perfect for consumers seeking nostalgia and cinematic history. The Criterion Collection is spearheading the charge with releases from luminaries such as Sophie Coppola, Frank Capra, and Hal Ashby.

Gone With The Wind, the 1939 David O. Selznick classic, is receiving a full 4K restoration, including three new editions: a standard 4K Blu-ray, a 4K Blu-ray Steelbook, and a deluxe Steelbook. Accompanying the editions are three featurettes detailing the restoration process, the film's ongoing cinematic influence, and the iconic Scarlett O'Hara's role in popular culture.

Harold And Maude, a cult classic dark comedy starring Bud Cort, is also getting a reissue courtesy of the Criterion Collection. The two-disc set features a full 4K restoration of the unrated international version, an alternate sound mix, new interviews with film programmer Dennis Lim, and deleted scenes and outtakes, all remixed by Dean Hurley.

Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, a candy-colored biopic of the infamous French queen, turns 20 years old in November. To celebrate, the Criterion Collection is offering a special 4K restoration in a two-disc set filled with special features such as new selected-scene commentary from Kirsten Dunst and interviews with Coppola, director of photography Lance Acord, costume designer Milena Canonero, and production designer KK Barrett.

Philip Kaufman's historical drama The Right Stuff, which chronicled the early days of the U.S. space program, is also receiving a Criterion Collection treatment. The two-disc set includes new features on visual effects, sound design, and editing, as well as archival interviews with director Philip Kaufman from the Academy Film Archive's Visual History program.

Lastly, Frank Capra's holiday classic It's A Wonderful Life is getting a special 4K release to mark its 80th anniversary. The film, which is also associated with the return of actor Jimmy Stewart's bizarre biopic, comes bundled with a keepsake book written by original cast member Jimmy Hawkins.
