    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Cleopatra (1963) - U.S. Release -- in Blu-ray

    Cleopatra has been a fixture on Disney+ since the streaming setvice lauched, so perhaps it will eventually get a new 4K remaster, if not a 4K UHD disc release.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    I'm hoping that the rights issue holding up the Paramount film Ash Wednesday (1973), starring Elizabeth Taylor and Henry Fonda, can be resolved and the film released on Blu-ray by Kino. It might have something to do with the Ray Charles song Ruby, which was replaced on the VHS, the last time it...

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    Thank you for the kind words, Philip! I can hardly believe that nearly 13 years have no gone by since I started this thread. After hearing Mr. Feltenstein on the Home Theater United podcast last year, I'm still cautiously optimistic that we will see it on Blu-ray one day: "It's going to take a...

    Sony Pictures to celebrate Columbia Pictures 100th Anniversary in 2024

    MGM hasn't had anything to do with GWTW since the late 1990s.

    Sony Pictures to celebrate Columbia Pictures 100th Anniversary in 2024

    I think if we see Gone with the Wind on 4K next year, it will be in honour of the film's 85th anniversary rather than MGM's centenary. MGM was only the film's distributor... it was a Selznick International Picture. Either way, I hope we see it! :) As for Columbia, I'd love to see The Taming of...

    A few words about...™ - A Haunting in Venice -- in Blu-ray

    I nearly didn't see this film based on the trailer but I went anyway and loved it. It's as loosely based on "Hallowe'en Party" as it could possibly be, but a lot of fun and wonderfully atmospheric. Easily my favourite of the three Branagh Poirot films... I enjoyed "Orient Express" but thought...

    Around the World in 80 Days Blu-ray in 2024?

    George Feltenstein said that 80 Days is "in the queue," so hopefully we'll see it in the near future. :)

    The Definitive A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951): Starring Alastair Sim

    Douglas, would you say that the BFI restoration you've seen televised in HD is superior to VCI's most recent Blu-ray?

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (1937) (4k UHD Combo)

    Mine's out for delivery now from Amazon Canada! Can't wait to watch it this evening. The anticipation reminds me of going to pick up the VHS that I had on pre-order after school when I was 8 in 1994.

    No 4K release for Gone With The Wind’s 80th Anniversary?

    A Blu-ray.com member has shared that "Gone with the Wind" is now streaming in 4K on Max. Apparently the yellow that plagued the Blu-ray is now gone. Max isn't available in Canada so unfortunately I'm not able to compare.

    Blu-ray Review Little Women (1933) Blu-ray Review

    Thanks for the great review, Matt! I saw the new master on TCM last Christmas and it looks gorgeous. While it may be some time before I revisit the film again, I purchased the Blu-ray to show my support for WAC and the amazing work that they're doing!

    Bob Barker has passed away at 99!

    It's truly the end of an era. He was always one of the best parts of staying home sick from school! He will be missed.

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    I'm thrilled we're finally getting Elephant Walk, but disappointed that it doesn't seem to be from a new scan. I wonder if this will be a Secret of the Incas scenario where Kino will announce its own release from a 4K scan shortly after.

    Sony's Missing Columbia Titles.

    The Taming of the Shrew (1967) is another Columbia title that's MIA on Blu-ray. I bought the HD digital on iTunes a few years back, and I think it looks very nice. I'm still hoping we'll see it on Blu-ray one day.

    Are people still blind buying physical media ?

    In most cases I'll rent a film I haven't seen before through iTunes. However, if it's an important restoration, especially something released through the Warner Archive, I'm more inclined to purchase the disc in hopes that my support will help other older films get a similar treatment and find...
