    A Few Words About A few words about...™ You Only Live Once & T-Men -- in Blu-ray

    You're very persuasive, David! It can be tricky. If they detect any self-promotion the page will be deleted quickly. A neutral tone and facts from multiple sources that aren't the company itself will help it stick.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ You Only Live Once & T-Men -- in Blu-ray

    I will also be looking forward to "He Walked by Night." After seeing these great reviews about ClassicFlix, I'll make that my first purchase, and maybe blind buy one of these two - probably the one with Claire Trevor! By the way, it doesn't look like ClassicFlix has a Wikipedia page yet...

    Pre-Order The Old Dark House (1932) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Got mine today and couldn't be happier! In her commentary, Gloria Stuart talks about James Whale's meticulousness and attention to detail. I'm enjoying seeing the details in things such as Morgan's face, the wood carvings in the dining room chairs, and so on... To answer a previous post, the...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Hell on Frisco Bay -- in Blu-ray

    Never seen or heard of this one, but anything with Edward G. Robinson is sure to be worth the time. What's the story behind it being elusive for so long, anything similar to "The High and the Mighty"?

    Pre-Order The Old Dark House (1932) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Amazon lists special features now - 2 audio commentaries, the Curtis Harrington interview, and a new interview with Sara Karloff. So excited to be able to hear the Gloria Stuart commentary that others have long talked about! The Sara Karloff interview is interesting to me too since I had the...

    An Open Letter To Mr. Feltenstein re: The Warner Bros. Archives

    As an avid reader of this forum who rarely finds the time to post, I feel compelled to echo the OP's sentiments regarding the WB Archive Collection. Simply put, I'm enjoying the hell out of these!! I'm a 30-year-old classic movie fan, and Warner's has always been my favorite studio. It's...

    My Fair Lady 50th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    A toast to Prof. Higgins' first, best, and greatest pupil! Apologies if this has already been mentioned in this long thread, but there was a program (from the 1980s maybe?) about the R&H musicals hosted by Mary Martin. There was a great moment when Mr. Bikel played his guitar and sang...

    Official KINO Insider Announcements Thread: STRICTLY MODERATED: READ GUIDELINES

    I'm not a big fan of the genre, but I do enjoy this film. The first thing I always think about is the creepy chauffeur that looks like Robin Gibb from the Bee Gees.

    HAWAII

    I would probably buy this from TT. I'd like to see a better presentation of it than what I recently watched on TV. After seeing the short version, I went to YouTube and watched the trims. I feel like they took the wrong approach to editing this film, cutting 30 seconds here and there. Some...

    John Ford's THE HURRICANE coming from Kino

    I haven't, but I noticed TCM is showing it later this month so I look forward to it!

    HTF EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time Sept/Oct 2015 Release Announcements

    I agree with those who want some older titles, pre-1960s. I have 6 or 7 TT blu-rays from that era and love them. Bring on some more black & white please!

    John Ford's THE HURRICANE coming from Kino

    I recently caught this film for the second time on TCM and thoroughly enjoyed it. It features four of my favorite 1930s character actors: Thomas Mitchell, C. Aubrey Smith, John Carradine, and Raymond Massey. Carradine is so damn nasty, but he makes you smile! The hurricane climax really is...

    MY FAIR LADY 4K restoration completed! Dec. 9th release announced (Post #299)

    Day 1 purchase for me! I first became aware of MFL as a small tot thumbing through my grandparents' old record albums in the late 80's. They had the Columbia Broadway cast album, and I played it after the cover art captured my imagination - the caricatured Higgins as puppeteer pulling Eliza's...

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    After watching the first disc of this set, I totally agree. I was blown away by the quality and attention to detail in the way the episodes are presented as well as the extras. I still can't believe how sharp and clear the kinescope material looks, and the transitions between the 16mm and 35mm...

    International The Burbs Arrow Blu Ray.

    Wow! What great extras! Can't wait to get this as I think it's one of the funniest movies ever. Bruce Dern is hilarious as the Vietnam vet with all the military equipment for spying on the neighbors. It will be fun watching the complete workprint and making-of doc.

    Blu-ray Review Ultimate Gangsters Collection: Classics Blu-ray Review

    I just received this set as a gift, and I love it! Is there any word on a Classics Vol. 2?

    Witness for the Prosecution (1957) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I strongly disagree as well, although it took me until a second viewing to come to this opinion: I think Power and Dietrich are magnificent if you consider that... This has become one of my all-time favorites. And like ahollis, I became a big Charles Laughton fan with this movie. His scenes...

    What are your top 5 favorite shows from the 1960s?

    This would probably be my list too (including the runner-up), except I would replace Andy with I Dream of Jeannie. I can never forget the look of disbelief on Dr. Bellows' face when he says stuff like, "Major Nelson... there's an elephant in your living room!" And the episode where Jeannie...

    Blu-ray Review The Honeymooners: Classic 39 Episodes Blu-ray Review

    Has anybody here seen an uncut Honeymooners episode as originally broadcast? I wonder if the syndicated versions merely replaced the sponsor openings/closings and left the episode content alone or if little edits were made to the episodes like I Love Lucy?

    Blu-ray Review I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1 Blu-ray Review

    The prospect of seeing the complete half-hour episodes of I Love Lucy with commercials and everything is a dream come true for me. I've only seen complete copies of a few 1st season episodes where the action segues directly into the cigarette commercials. Does anybody know if this practice...

    Kino Lorber Studio Classics - First Time on Blu-ray

    Can't wait for Witness for the Prosecution - one of my favorites! I'd be interested in seeing Marty again as well.
