but, isn't "ALAMO",MGM ?
Also, isn't the DVD release of the "ALAMO"
edited with alot missing footage !!!!!!!
MGM owns the film (It's a United Artists title) and the current DVD is the general release version.
The film needs extensive restoration.... the deleted footage will probably need the most work. (and the negative is probably useless since 1959/1960 color film stock has usually lost all of its yellow layer)
The way things are set up now, when it comes to the classics titles, most of the ideas come from me, in that I will present them to my teammates here. We're very much a team in terms of the marketing focus. I work with a great group of people. We all really help each other and we have tremendous enthusiasm for what we're doing. So we'll all pitch ideas, and the fact that I've been working with most of this library for 16 years in one capacity or another gives me a good background of history and success. I know that what's succeeded before will succeed again, and that what's failed before is not worth revisiting, with rare exception. We will propose things that we feel will be profitable and also are what the customers want. I constantly peruse all the chat rooms and websites and news groups to see what the people are saying. Now some of what people ask for is just unrealistic. I mean, I recently read a comment from someone about a very, very obscure, unimportant film from the 1980s that grossed two million dollars that I never even put on laserdisc, and somebody was saying, "Oh, Warner Bros. should do a two-disc special edition." Well, that's obviously absurd. But when we do see a common thread of what people want, then we'll try to pursue it.With the understanding of the comments made by George Feltenstein it seems rather clear that while threads such as this are used to consider future releases. It also is clear that even if they select a title mentioned by fans, it may take at least two years before it'll get released - so patience seems to be the wisest path to take when waiting on a title from the wish list.

Regardless, it is nice to know that WB does give serious consideration to what forums such as this are regularly asking for.
Anyone up for the challenge...
what Warners film from the 1980s - grossed 2 million dollars, and did not get a laserdisk release?
and its offically unimportant and obscureDon't forget, your proposed challenge should also include the 1980-86 MGM library which Warner Brothers owns, as well as Lorimar titles......
A large group of turkeys to choose from!
