    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    I e-mailed customer service about this yesterday and asked if they would offer replacements (of either the whole keepcase or just the picture insert itself) - they said no. I didn't think to ask if I could purchase them, though if that was an option I figure they might have mentioned it. They...

    The Official Fox Wishlist Thread

    For years I've been hoping for Rapture (1965) starring Patricia Gozzi, Dean Stockwell and Melvyn Douglas. I assume Fox owns it - they showed it on Fox Movie Channel regularly years ago.

    ah, this is so exciting! It'll be my first classic DVD purchase in a couple of years. Not only more Bob Hope, but Paulette Goddard! Thanks for sharing the news.

    Universal and TCM's Partnership For Made-To-Order DVD

    I have yet to buy anything from the Warner Archive, but I'm kinda excited about this if Universal is really planning to dig deep into the vaults. I'd love to see more Paulette Goddard films available - most of them haven't even seen the light of day on TV since the old old days of AMC.

    Universal Backlot Series of Claudette Colbert titles for November

    This is a wonderful surprise. Thanks for sharing the news. I second that. More specifically, I would like to see a Paulette Goddard set.

    Private Lives? Three Comrades? And The Patsy as a poll option for the next release? I may just cry. I know I will after the first bill comes in. WHV, I love you.

    2009 film wishlist

    I second the Esther Williams vol. 2 idea. Also, a not-public-domain set of Chaplin Keystones; Yolanda and the Thief (45); Rapture (65); and anything with Paulette Goddard or Robert Montgomery.

    Criterion's January release of Magnificent Obsession: all good news

    I haven't been this excited about DVD news in a while. I'm thrilled that the 30's version will be on there (haven't seen it but I love Taylor and Dunne) and that cover art is exquisite.

    Who else here only watches 1 ep per week?

    I don't stick to a schedule, but like OP I only watch 1 episode of any given show per week. One night I really got into an episode of Ally McBeal and I wanted to see where a particular story arc was going, so I watched a second episode the same night. Afterwards I felt guilty and a little bit...

    is any one plan on buying early edition? its comes out this tuesday.

    This was the first more or less "grown up" show I ever watched regularly. It shipped out from Amazon yesterday, so I'll probably get it tomorrow, and I plan to dig in right away. I hope it holds up to my precious memories of it... :)

    Whatever Happened to Universal's Screen Legends/Glamour Collection sets???

    I was wondering about these sets the other day - I sure would love to see one for Paulette Goddard and Ray Milland. I can't gripe though if the problem is poor sales - I only bought the Lombard and Crosby sets.

    What Is Your BEST & WORST Blind Buy TV On DVD?

    Best is a tie between House M.D. and Boston Legal. Was hounded by friends for months to watch them, and eventually bought both S1s when they hit the under-$20 mark. I sat myself down begrudgingly to watch them, not even wanting to like them, and now I'm absolutely hooked on both. Worst is...

    What's coming up with Shout Factory?

    I just checked out their website and I'm thrilled to see that they recently released some episodes of Pucca on DVD. Hopefully they'll release more. I'd like to see more Dick Cavett collections in the future too.

    Another great e-tailer closes shop (European): Benson's World

    I regularly use blahdvd.com for my R2 DVDs and import CDs. They used to have free international shipping but they recently stopped that - still very reasonable though and great customer service.

    So, no Warner Bros. invitation for us to vote for five unreleased DVD's this year?

    I'm always on the lookout for more pre-codes, and I understand that Forbidden Hollywood is an ongoing series, so I'm happy about that. I'd especially like to see more Robert Montgomery: Private Lives Night Must Fall The Man in Possession No More Ladies When Ladies Meet (ideally a...

    Joan Crawford -- Volume 2 Coming Feb. 12 From Warners

    This is great news - thanks for posting, OP. A Woman's Face is the only one of the bunch that's a must-have for me, but even if it is available separately I'll probably pick up the whole set, if only to give WB some money and encourage them to keep it going... :D

    It's been so slow with classic movie news!!

    I'm totally in for Forbidden Hollywood 2. Also for the Lana Turner collection, depending on what's in it (I really want Johnny Eager). Thanks for sharing the news! :D

    What City Lights is this?

    CDA planned a release for The Gold Rush as well a few years ago - the first wave included The Great Dictator and Modern Times. I read in Variety that CDA planned to release these editions of all of the mk2 Chaplins, but clearly that never materialized. I purchased Dictator and Modern Times...

    Any more universal actor collections?

    I'm still hoping for a Ginger Rogers collection - or at least a single release of The Major and the Minor. I love that Paulette Goddard collection, Corey, though I might substitute The Lady Has Plans for The Crystal Ball. :D

    Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

    20th Century Fox's CinemaScope films

    Just wanted to add a title to the list - Rapture (1965) starring Patricia Gozzi, Dean Stockwell and Melvyn Douglas. At least, I think it belongs on the list - I saw it first on FMC anyway. There was a post about a year ago on the IMDB that a DVD was in the works, but I haven't seen or heard...

    All Is Quiet on Fox's Front

    I would really love to see a DVD of Rapture (1965) starring Patricia Gozzi, Dean Stockwell and Melvyn Douglas, directed by John Guillermin. I had never even heard of it before I saw it on Fox Movie Channel a few years ago and it just blew me away. Someone posted last July on IMDB that a DVD...

    A Few Words About A few words about... The Chaplin Mutual Comedies

    Chaplin's complete Essanay catalog has been released by Image Entertainment in 3 volumes. They look great. The Keystones are in various states of disrepair and can be found among dozens of cheapie discs...the BFI has been working on massive restorations and we should eventually get some DVD...
