That's a pretty good list - I particularly like Brazil, My Life as a Dog, Woman in the Dunes and Paris, Texas. And I didn't even know there was a film version of Stalker - I loved the novel.
Though there are so many (over 1,500 total) and they're so good that there's room for many more.
Just browsing the full list, I'm also partial to, among others: Repo Man, Harold and Maude, Coup de Torchon, Night on Earth (and really everything by Jim Jarmusch), Withnail and I, Jabberwocky (the source of my username), After Hours, Slacker, Koyaanisqatsi, Wings of Desire, Vernon Florida, The Princess Bride, If...
And I noted, in talking about Ron Perlman, the author mentioned City of Lost Children, and I can't help but wonder how that's not part of the Criterion Collection - it seems such a perfect fit.
I also note a sort of surprising lack of Luc Besson. He seems a perfect fit too.
Mostly though, browsing the list made me realize how many great movies I still haven't seen.
Sony and StudioCanal, respectively, kept the rights and made the 4k releases themselves.
Leon and Fifth Element you can understand but City of Lost Children seems the kind of title perfect for a boutique Blu-ray publisher.
Night on Earth is a special one for me. I just recently found a first pressing of the soundtrack
It actually sort of bothers me to have a favorite Jarmusch film - it sort of feels like I'm cheating on the others. But even as much as I love the rest of them, Night on Earth just stands out.
