LOTR is 12 hours! If Lynch had had the time, he could have pulled it off. What's there in the 2:17 is great, even the montage MONTAGE! Gonna have a MONTAGE!

I still spin the Paul Williams soundtrack. The songs hold out beautifully. Great tunes! So, I look forward to seeing them in context again. Long time since those days when HBO showed the sleepers like Bugsy Malone and, of course, Tourist Trap!

Night of the Iguana almost saw the light of day, but nobody "voted" for it. Darn Warners and their little games!

What I want to know is why does Netflix have a DVD cover and a TBA release date?

Year of the Gun. What's worse is that Columbia has the aspect ratio of 1.66:1 listed on the back. Nope, cropped.

There are a handful of public domain versions of this 1972 classic, starring Fiona Fullerton and an all-star British cast. Which one is the best one? Apparently all suffer in quality, but some are pan and scan, and some are scope. Which is the one to get? Thanks!

I'm glad that they'll be including "Confidential Report" on the disc, too. The Corinth Arkadin is definitely closer to Welles' vision, but "Confidential Report" flows better, uses more conventional editing, and utilizes extra footage and the actual dialogue in places where narration is used in...

F for Fake may be my favorite OW film. I transfered the audio to cassette for my car way back when, and it's a marvel to listen to just that. Hopefully Amazon will ship my disc soon.

Maybe a Hackman boxset is in order! I've been waiting for Night Moves for so long! Never seen the other two, but after reading reviews, I'm seriously thinking of picking them up. Slightly OT, check out Hackman's performance in The Gypsy Moths. Watch what he does with that dishrag and tell me...

I gave up trying to find the uncut version. I got the Platinum version of the DVD and I've been quite happy with that. It even has trivia!

It's been a while since I've done any research, but I found this on Amazon.com: Sorry to be insisting, but I seem to have gone on a real crusade re "Beat the Devil". I didn't want to, I just wanted to buy a decent DVD version. O boy! There isn't any. And it's not only the quality that is...

I've got the Platinum and it's all right. The big question is "which one is the uncut version, with the different opening?"

We can't get rid of the camp, though. "Paul and Chani's love GREW!" POWER CHORD! You can't beat that cheese. Gotta love it.

Night Moves is excellent news. Quick Change, too. Night of the Iguana and Point Blank, of course, are great to hear. Guess they didn't answer about Wise Blood, eh? I hoped someone would ask about Grand Prix, but I guess Friends Season 10 was more important. Sheesh. We all know that Friends...

GRAND PRIX

A good movie on the Attica riot is, of course, "Against the Wall" by Frankenheimer. Not yet on DVD. Hey, is there a thread where we can get people to ask about films for the Warners chat for us? I'd love to know the status of Grand Prix, as well as all the Lumet films in the 80s that are filmed...

Emerald Forest?

Great thread. I wish there were more like this on this forum, instead of "Which version of Armageddon should I get?" Friedkin and Lumet are right up there with Frankenheimer, in my book. And then there's Huston and Welles. Great directors with vision are hard to come by nowadays.

Funny, I had heard somewhere that Sorcerer was 1.66:1. Just wanted to darken the mud a little. :) Sorcerer blew me away, BTW, so a new transfer in the correct aspect ratio with a commentary by Friedkin talking as much as possible about how "the movie god" shined on him (actually I hear it was...

From what I've read, releasing GP on DVD is one of Evans Frankenheimer's main priorities.

What's up with a bunch of his DVDs beeing fullscreen?

Obviously from Frankenheimer: I Walk the Line The Impossible Object (Story of a Love Story) The Fixer 99 44/100% Dead The Challenge Dead Bang (in the proper aspect ratio) Year of the Gun (in the proper aspect ratio) At least All Fall Down will get a relase next...

DVD File has announced: Dec 7: Jinxed!, Daddy's Dyin'...So Who's Got the Will?, Hi, Mom!, Out Cold, Hound of the Baskervilles, Young Doctors in Love, Smooth Talk and the Robert Englund horror remake The Phantom of the Opera. I've been waiting for YDIL for a long time.

"I hear Song of the South is coming to DVD in an eight-disc edition, and each set contains a free airline ticket, free lodging at the Animal Kingdom resort, $10,000 in spending money and a free seven-day hopper pass to Walt Disney World." But no OAR, so NO SALE! :)

Thanks for the link, Roland. I added it to the links page on my forum!

With the wealth of interview material and articles with and by JF about this film, someone should be able to compile them all, paraphrase them for copyright purposes and make a commentary track that would be the next best thing to a JF track.

Thanks Sergio, After posting this, I went to amazon.co.uk and discovered that very thing. Still would be nice for America to get on the ball. ;) Fred

Last year we had four great JF releases: The Iceman Cometh, Andersonville, Black Sunday, and The Horsemen. This year, all we've got is The Manchurian Candidate: SE. I'm very pleased with that news, but there's a bunch of important Frankenheimer films that aren't on DVD yet, that really need to...

Have to do a top ten instead of five: 1. The African Queen 2. F For Fake 3. The Passenger 4. Duck, You Sucker 5. Serial 6. Night Moves 7. Wise Blood 8. Point Blank 9. Skidoo 10. The Magnificent Ambersons And my top 10 Frankenheimer: 1. Grand Prix 2. All Fall Down 3. I Walk...
