If that were the case, we'd already have the complete DALLAS on Blu, not to mention The Merry Widow (1934) which debuted at the TCM film festival in 2019 in a stunning restoration that absolutely blew the audience away, but then, somehow, never found its way to hi-def thereafter.

Have to thank WAC for saving me some coin. Thin month for me. Act of Violence and The Man I Love will likely be the only purchases. The Shining Hour is a tedious melodrama that gets mired down after its opening act. There are better Crawford movies out there yet to see the light of day on Blu...

Amazon has been very sketchy where WAC product is concerned. Case in point: I ordered Looney Tunes Vol. 3 and it appeared NOT to ship. Suddenly, there it was on my doorstep four days after the release date even though order info on the website insisted it had not yet shipped. Then, a week...

RE: Green Mansions. Odd Hepburn flick. Goes on my list next to Paris When It Sizzles, which isn't a great movie either, just in case anyone was wondering.

If you're going to quote me, then please at least afford me the dignity to quote what I said, not what you think I said or what you perceive I said, or didn't say, or wish that I had said instead. Yes, The Mask of Fu Manchu is MGM product. Never say it wasn't. Didn't suggest there was NO MGM...

Have to thank WAC for allowing my wallet a breather. Not much in the first few months of this year for me. The Nun's Story and Friendly Persuasion are about all I'll be picking up from this batch. It's MGM's 100th? More Metro product, pretty please.

No more repetitious than certain posts that simply suggest any dissenting opinion should just take a backseat and shut up. Sorry, haven't sat in a backseat since I learned how to drive. And silence may be golden elsewhere. Not at my house, where healthy discussion is always welcome. To offer...

Slight correction. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not art. Regardless of what E.A. Bucchianeri says. Otherwise, everything can be considered art by someone, even monkey feces smeared across a canvas, because there is no discerning criteria on which to offer a dissenting opinion...

Do you honestly think The Boob has fared better - from a curated elements perspective - than Random Harvest, which was given a significant restoration many years ago? There are some restorations that WAC is just sitting on that haven't seen the light of day. Case in point: 3 years ago, Warner...

The Boob and Why Be Good? are two middling pics that, honestly, are a real oddity for release ahead of some of the great MIA silent flicks still awaiting even a whiff of release. Titles like...you know, um...Greed. 3 Godfathers and They Drive By Night will surely turn and please a lot of heads...

For MGM's 100th, I forgot to mention I would love to get a pristine 70mm mastered Ryan's Daughter.

Most likely existing elements and a ton of remastering to be done - costly - to achieve he best possible quality. But we'll see...I suppose.

Why a reissue of Dodge City. The previous disc looks fine. More Flynn? Yipee! Captain Blood and The Charge of the Light Brigade are at the top of my 'want' list.

I would agree with you - and do, for the most part. But the other night, I went to re-watch WAC's Blu of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and was frankly surprised by how much video-based noise was in that transfer. Also, some highly noticeable edge effects, image instability and contrast levels...

Oddly, given that last year was Warner Bros. 100th, there was almost as much MGM product coming down their pike and some glaring omissions to the WB library still MIA on Blu. So, maybe this year, WAC will give us more WB product for MGM's 100th. Too many MGM goodies unmined as yet. Lists are...

We'll see a Joe E. Brown collection when the S.Z. Sakall Definitive Box Set arrives. I.E. - never!

As usual - misunderstood completely. I said NO COMPLAINTS. So, slashing into my opinion with venom is wholly unnecessary and really beneath what this forum is supposed to be about - sharing opinions. Agreed, mine differs from yours. No room for both? How sad. By the way, left out Scaramouche...

A classic woman's pic, an Oscar winner, a western, a comedy a musical and an Elvis pic. Strange month. Good variety. But again, too many A-list product still MIA while some lesser catalog gets bumped to the front. No complaints. But is there anyone here who wouldn't have preferred say...

My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that Warners did some maneuvering to re-acquire distribution of this, as well as Till The Clouds Roll By (which also went PD briefly) to perform some much needed clean up and restoration on Meet John Doe. There is a refurbished print. I'm just not 100%...

While I champion more Warner deep catalog coming to hi-def, I just think the titles choses and a tribute for the actual month Warner Bros. became an entity are a little weak. I mean, where is Kings Row, All This and Heaven Too, Humoresque, Captain Blood, The Charge of the Light Brigade, They...

Martin Scorsese is a true master of his media and beyond. Without his concerted efforts at the outset, the world of home entertainment today would be a very different - very dark - place. Cultural touchstones preserved for man's eternity...can there be any greater gift ANY filmmaker could bestow...

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed by this spate of titles when compared to the March yield. Not complaining, as it's good to see someone's choices are being met. But again, another bumper crop of deep catalog, with no real A-list titles among them when so much A-list catalog is still MIA...

WAC has such a wellspring of goodies still MIA in hi-def, you really cannot go wrong in making lists and recommendations. It's like throwing darts at an eleven foot target from two feet away. You hit you win. You hit, you win again.

Flynn needs more exposure, starting with Charge of the Light Brigade, Captain Blood and They Died With Their Boots On. We also need Crawford in The Damned Don't Cry and Humoresque, as well as When Ladies Meet, Susan and God, and A Woman's Face. Davis also needs a renaissance of interest...

My dream would be to have High Society finally arrive on Blu-ray in 2023 in restored VistaVision with both its Perspecta Stereo original audio and repurposed 5.1 DTS. It would also warm my cockles to see Marie Antoinette, The Brothers Karamazov, Bathing Beauty, Holiday in Mexico, That Midnight...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed Marilyn Monroe's name is conspicuously absent from the roster under 'actors'?

Yeah, I was sort of hoping WAC would release the last two Mickey/Judy 'hey kids, let's put on a show flicks marred by the current negative reaction to blackface: Babes in Arms and Babes on Broadway, two of the best musicals ever made. If Kentucky Kernels can scape by, why not these? RE...

I'll agree with you, only partly. Yes, when a title that's been much sought after is announced and then released the elation for it is short-lived. That's just the nature of the consumer, or, to quote Mr. Irving Berlin, "After you get what you want you don't want it anymore! If I gave you the...

I won't say it's 'disappointing'. Just odd. I mean, Flamingo Road was NOT considered a great Crawford movie in its time. Since we still don't have A Woman's Face, When Ladies Meet or The Damned Don't Cry on Blu, it's curious for WAC to concentrate on lesser Crawford ahead of the line. Ditto...
