I still have more to sift through, but On the Waterfront opens 2013 as a leading contender for one of the best collector's sets of the year, just like Criterion's Godzilla did in 2012.
Electric Shadow
Daily Grab 74: Headroom
This frame from the 1.66:1 version of On the Waterfront shows off the definitive one out of the three aspect ratios included in Criterion's outstanding new Blu-ray release.
Don't trust any "reviews" that lack evidence that the reviewer watched all three versions. Likewise, trust no one who declares 1.85:1, aka "fill my whole HDTV screen ratio" the definitive way to watch. All who do are charlatans, fools, and rank poseurs.
