Thank you Warner for informative and interesting chat, I was unable to attend and didn't get a chance to ask about the Peckinpah films mentioned above or Battle of the Buldge, no-one else asked either :-(

I would love to see these films re-issued or available for the first time on dvd

Regards

I'm kind of surprised no one asked about an OAR version of Arthur with Dudley Moore.

It's difficult for me to keep up with who owns what. I'm told that Warners now has the rights to a half dozen or so Movies, I'm longing for, besides REVOLUTION (1985)and THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER 91968).
If Warners owns 'um, I'm looking for their release on DVD:

THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY (1964)

A THOUSAND CLOWNS (1965)

THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE (1959)

THE HOSPITAL (1971)
and
SERGEANT YORK (1941)

WAIT UNTIL DARK
THE OMEGA MAN

TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE
THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
YANKEE DOODLE DANDY
THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS
