Notable Releases for Q4 2004 - (time to make room on your DVD shelves) (1 Viewer)

[Christopher*KH]

Would it be possible that ANCHORMAN with WILL FERRELL be out before '05??

 

[Jerome Grate]

I have to admit, one the better year for releases in a while. It looks like I'll be spending my Saturdays at Best Buy for those cheap new releases. Can't wait for the Godzilla picks.

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

I've added the following releases:

• Before Sunset
• Code 46
• De-Lovely
• Philadelphia (2-Disc Anniversary Edition)
• Wicker Park
• Wild at Heart (Special Edition

 

[Brajesh Upadhyay]

Useful $pend list. Thanks!

van hesling doesnt deserve shit.. garfield did do better then most people expected.. its not like shrek 2 or anything like that. but did better then riddick and stepford wives.

however there is a biased attitude towards garfield on the net. that is why I have been promoting postive on the net. I take the reviews and stuff on the net about the garfield movie with a grain of sult.. for any parent that doesn't like shrek 2 or harry potter type movies.. its a perfectly good movies for the kids under 10.. which is not this crowd. or the reviews and other stuff for sure..

a least garfield gets a 2 disc special edition from the UK. which will be loaded with goodies including deleted scenes and how the made the film.

I am sure that you all would agree that universal has other movies besides van hesling that deserve better special edition dvd then VH. I sure hope so..

I didn't mean to crap on the thread.. I was just pointing out that you had not listed garfield. if you are going to list both good and bad movies like VH and catwoman etc? then garfield should be on the list!
there is my response!

[Nils Luehrmann]

I just saw that deepdiscountDVD is offering the upcoming release of Ragtime for only $9.36!

Even for a barebones DVD, this is a great price for such an excellent film.

If it sells well, maybe it will encourage a future SE version and possibly even the 3-hour Director's cut.

Nils: THAT is some of the most exciting news I've heard in a long time! Ever since Martin Blythe announced that the title would be coming out this year...and even when pushed back to the 4th quarter....I've been waiting and waiting for this one! AND now to know its gonna be a great deal! AND I like your pattern of thinking about getting an eventual SE with the longer director's cut!

"You keep thinkin', Butch. That's what you're good at."

Nils: There were some questions earlier in the thread about the "mythical" Director's Cut of Ragtime. Did this play in the theaters? WAs it ever released on any home video format? What might you know about it?

 

[James_Kiang]

Thanks for the list. I don't know how I'm going to pick up all the ones I'm interested in, but I'll figure it out somehow . Along with some anime titles I've got around 30 dvds I want to buy before the end of the year. My wife is going to kill me...

I don't mean to polarize things, but I will say that since this list is becoming (has become?) somewhat comprehensive, Garfield probably should be included on the list. I'll probably end up buying it since my daughter enjoyed it, and I'm sure there actually are a number of HTFers who will as well. We might not be proud of it but....

 

[GeorgePaul]

Mike, if I'm not mistaken, a longer edition of Ragtime than the theatrical cut was shown on TV in its first airings in the 1980s and was available in syndication as well.

Why an SE isn't released of this in the first place is beyond me. Maybe Milos Forman just wants to be known as the director who had ALL his movies premiere on DVD bare-bones.

That's a joke...I hope.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Thanks, George!

Any further info (if it exists) would be most welcome.

 

[Gordon St Pierre]

How about adding Castle Keep WIDESCREEN to the list ..announced for Nov 2 ...after the Huge mistake they made releasing this before in Fullscreen only

 

[Fredric]

DVD File has announced:

Dec 7: Jinxed!, Daddy's Dyin'...So Who's Got the Will?, Hi, Mom!, Out Cold, Hound of the Baskervilles, Young Doctors in Love, Smooth Talk and the Robert Englund horror remake The Phantom of the Opera.

I've been waiting for YDIL for a long time.

 

[Christian Preischl]

Yes!! Finally some early(ish) De Palma makes it to R1.

Chris

 

[MattGentry]

Right around 29 for me.

However, there are a lot I'm getting that aren't on that list. Mostly TV on DVD, but a good deal of films too.

I'm going to be broke...

 

[T r o y]

Does anyone know if the Dawn of the Dead Remake will have a DTS track on the R1 release ?

Thanks
Troy

[Ed St. Clair]

I guess you missed "notable" in the thread heading.
Which would clue you into the fact, that not all titles would be listed. As you can clearly see in other posts, people are requesting/asking for other titles to be listed as well. Without the histrionics!

 

[Ed St. Clair]

That's A LOT of cash. I better start selling stuff, now!
The title I'm looking to see the most (NOTHING, against GWtW) is Hero. Glad to see there is already a great transfer out there. Now Miramax can release a superb one. Well, after the 'improvement' too KBII, I can hope can't I???
