Ha, me too! I think it's still the most expensive Blu-ray I've bought, just under $40 (I think) plus p&p to England, but I'm so glad I did. I think the picture looks just great, done before Fox embraced the blue/cyan look.

Yeah, he gives her everything, & doesn't even get to put his hand up her jumper! And there's the ever lovely Jean Simmonds there (but at least he gets up to a bit of off-screen how's-your-father with the lovely Jean (I fell in love with her when I was 11, watching Spartacus).

Yeah, it was around $40 (plus p&p to the UK), the most I've ever paid for a Blu-ray, but I had to have it, & it does look stunning.

The fact that The Egyptian wasn't a big success probably explains why the film elements are in such a good condition. I think Fox had to do a LOT of work on The Robe to get it in the state it is now, but for some strange reason have never released the Blu-ray outside of America (& region locked...

I dunno, but I'm sure I can remember reading that Fox did an HD transfer, & then (maybe not completely happy with it) had another go, & it was the latest version that TT released...& has that transfer been released anywhere else? I happily own the TT release, but am surprised that the TT...

Well it's the most expensive Blu-ray I've ever bought, but I'm so glad I did (& I'm sure I could sell it at a good profit if I wanted to), l've loved it since I first saw it on TV in the early sixties (b/w 4x3 & mono then). I find it sort of unworldly & strange (the music really helps there) & I...

I've had this for over a year & only just got around to watching it. It looks really good, I was taken by the colour design, it's all blues & golds, hardly are green to speak of & not much rich red, when it does appear it seems to denote power. The Pharaoh wears a red band, & then Victure Mature...

It looks like the next Twilight Time Fox Blu-ray is, The Roots Of Heaven (1958) on Jan. 17th. The Scandinavia Egyptian BD release proves that some of these titles will be released outside the US, & a lot cheaper (& better cover). EDIT. Oops, that's wrong. I didn't know Rapture was 20th Century Fox.

I think some sort of answer is for the studios to sell limited Blu-rays of older movies direct, but large companies are notoriously bad at selling small & making a profit. Mind you Warner do have a head start with the Archive set-up. I dunno, it might happen.

That sentance says it all! If the next one is a film I don't like, I might change sides, "what,forty dollars for that!".

For me the "bang" is the movie. But fine, if you don't want it you don't buy it, & if you do..you do. If you lived next door I'd lend it to you.

Just to repeat, the film's the thing. I don't buy blu-rays for the sake of buying Blu-rays, to fill up a Blu-ray shelf. I love movies (old movies!). I only have about 20 blu's with maybe another 10 I need to buy. Except for The Egyptian, all my BD's have cost me between £6 & £9 (I'm happy to...

Agreed. It works out about £8 more than a bottle of Jack Daniels in the UK (JD is expensive over here, shame as it's my favorite tipple). I was looking through the excellent book, 2000 Movies Of The 1950's by Robin Cross. You get a still & brief plot description of each film (mostly American)...

I think it will be a while selling out, no rush to buy (but as I stated, I'm glad I bought it). I'm wondering what happends next. The Egyptian is a real cult movie, all the more so as the DVD has never been released in the US before, but then what? Another 50's title will really struggle at that...

Well I'd think it's hard work selling Blu-rays of old movies these days, so I'm all for great marketing, it works for soundtrack CD's. There's so few BD released that I want to buy (I love 50's & 60's), so if something I must have is released, I'll order it straight off. I'm so glad I bought...
