Just sampled the Psycho Blu Ray replacement disc. The replacement Blu Ray disc's original mono audio option is different from the one on the faulty Blu Ray disc that was included in the recent boxset: a consistent 384 Kbps on the new replacement disc vs 447 Kbps on the faulty boxset disc.
I...
I received my replacement discs today via FedEx. I haven't sampled the discs yet but I was very upset to find that both the UHD and Blu Ray discs were simply thrown loose together inside an oversized brown paper envelope with absolutely no protection...both discs are riddled with scratches.
Fantastic selection of titles for November. Being a Sandra Dee fan, I'm really looking forward to purchasing "Gidget" in all its HD widescreen glory. It's sadly often forgotten how popular Ms. Dee was at the box office back in the late 1950's through the mid 1960's, this in addition to being a...
Curious to know if anyone knows the current status/fate of this Blu Ray? I was thrilled when the announcement/pre-order went up last year but nothing ever materialized. Such a beautiful film that will no doubt look amazing on Blu Ray, given that it's a Sony/Columbia title.
Just received my copy of "The Best of Everything" today and it looks fantastic. Nice fine grain levels and a robust bitrate throughout make for a very filmic viewing experience. My untrained/unqualified eyes are very pleased with what they see and a very special movie is made all the more...
I'm VERY happy and excited about the prospect of finally being able to own a restored version of this long-neglected & important movie on Blu Ray! IMHO, Raintree County is a beautifully made film with a stellar cast, lush production design, and a phenomenol score. Could Elizabeth Taylor have...
Mr. Harris's mention of Minnelli and Sinatra makes me wonder if "Some Came Running" will make its debut on Blu Ray next year.
In addition to Garbo and Davis, Blu Ray releases of Elizabeth Taylor's, Judy Garland's, and Joan Crawford's WB & MGM classics would be fantastic. "Mildred Pierce" will...
I'd enjoy the opportunity to purchase the following 20th Century-Fox films on Blu Ray:

Looking forward to this release. For those members who are interested in vintage movie costume designs, I have attached a photo of one of my original Marlene Dietrich costume designs by the legendary Edith Head for "Witness for the Prosecution"...

It's the extended edition. It's my understanding that one of the earlier Region 2/'B' Blu Ray releases (possibly German?) of this excellent film also included the theatrical edition in standard definition as one of the extras. Again, a favorite movie of mine and I'm personally very pleased...
Anxiously waiting to read other member's thoughts on this recent Blu Ray release. Purchased this and the new "Somewhere In Time" Blu Ray on Tuesday. To my untrained/unqualified eyes, the picture quality looks pretty darn good. There is a lovely defined "lushness" to the overall image and I'm...
Planning to re-watch the excellent "The Rape Of Europa" documentary tonight in preparation for seeing "The Monuments Men" at my local theater later this weekend.
3-D would definitely be interesting. I'm anxiously waiting for the day when WB announces a new special edition Blu Ray containing (only as a supplement) the 17-19 minutes of footage removed after the film's premiere, which was discovered within a Kansas salt mine vault a few years back and...
Hoping that the following Paramount movies will soon be released on Blu Ray:

A Place in the Sun
Mommie Dearest

Just received my copy, along with SENSE & SENSIBILITY, today from Amazon UK. The transfer is absolutely beautiful, with excellent color and phenomenal detail throughout. I'm sure that this will be released by Sony or Twilight Time here in the USA at some point in the future but I was impatient...

9. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
10. Judgment At...
Really looking forward to this very special release. My favorite moments in the film are those dealing with Ethel Merman's character. Could any other actress have better potrayed the cliched stereotype of the overbearing, loud-mouthed, irritating Mother-in-Law? I smile every time she is on...
I absolutely love GIANT and I couldn't be more pleased with the new Blu Ray. The picture quality is amazing, particularly when compared to the previous DVD version, and the single digibook edition is beautifully done-it is quite large and has a nice substantial feel/look to it. I personally...
