What Forgotten Films do you want on Blu ray or 4K? (1 Viewer)

[Worth]

…I'm running out space for Blu-rays. I don't like a home that looks like a Tower Records store!

I just put all of mine in binders and tossed or recycled the cases. I’m sure that thought horrifies some, but I’m not really a collector by nature.

4K/UHD:

The Deadly Affair (1967) - DP Freddie Young
Directed by Sidney Lumet
Music by Quincy Jones
James Mason, Simone Signoret

5 BAFTA nominations for Best British Film, Screenplay, Cinematography, Actor, Actress

French BD availability, but not opened up towards a wider distribution in the USA and needs an upgraded transfer at a minimum.

I have that film on a good U.K. disc from Indicator. Sidney Lumet and Freddie Young chose a drab, deglamorised look which I'm not sure I want to see in 4K.

Now that's what I call self control. I have six crates of DVDs in the basement, the local library doesn't want them so I'll have to find another worthy charity. I refuse to goto 4K for fear of another buying spree. I've kept my best fullscreen DVDs & many widescreen. The fullscreens have a resolution advantage over widescreen & the widescreens are good enough & not worthy of upgrade to Blu-ray. I'm running out space for Blu-rays. I don't like a home that looks like a Tower Records store!

I’m just the opposite. Every time I went into a Tower, I pictured myself having a bed and a coffee maker behind one of those off-to-the-side closed doors in the corners on the top floor. Heck, I’d even take a bed below the earth’s surface inside of a Salt Mine, just to do archival inventories of Stems and OCNs.

Sounds like a fantastic collection. And don’t concern yourself about local libraries, as many don’t even want our donated books, any longer, either. .

DANCES WITH WOLVES is way overdue for a 4K release.

Extended version included, I hope .

 

[YANG]

the 236mins version?

that would be exciting!
but i guess the publisher whoever is holding the rights right now, would be waiting for a major studio to jump into the "physical media pool" to push out a 4K release that would be stable and sought after proving the potential that movies of such length will sell well... *ehem... PARAMOUNT, are u looking at the discussion here? will KILLERS of FLOWERMOON get a 4K physical media release?*​

No idea what's going on w/ Dances with Wolves, but Killers of the Flower Moon probably already had plans more or less set all along unless something highly unexpected happens/happened. Scorsese may well have stipulated some sort of disc release allowance in choosing Apple, but no idea if Paramount will actually be doing that release and/or in 4K -- The Irishman only got a BD via Criterion afterall.

Yes. The extended version was on MAX as an extra in 2023

THE MUSIC LOVERS…roadshow

THE VICTORS. In as complete version as possible. Roadshow

 

[Alan Tully]

Yup, I second the emotion!

Was there a Roadshow of The Music Lovers? If so, I must have seen it, as I saw the film in London's West End just after it opened (the imdb says mono, but I'm sure I can remember being impressed by the stereo sound, but then the imdb can be a bit unreliable). It was United Artists, so MGM (Amazon) now (I think). I expected a Blu-ray release years ago, but maybe there's some sort of legal hold-up.

I also don't know what the hold-up with The Victors is, I don't think it's even had a DVD release in the States. Are Sony still working on their catalogue films? We're not seeing many old Columbia movies released these days, or any...

Yes, The Music Lovers was indeed Roadshow in London. Where I saw it . Don’t remember the theater but it was given the full treatment. In blow up 70mm with 6 track stereo, the overture was part of the 3rd movement of Tchaikovsky’s 6th symphony. Don’t recall the music of the intermission but the film certainly had one. The sound as one can imagine was spectacular with all that glorious music. I was so impressed that I went the next day to see it again! Have the souvenir program.

 

[PaulRossen]

Also… Oh, What a Lovely War. Saw Roadshow in London. Richard Attenborough’s film has to the best of my knowledge disappeared.

The Victors was on Cable many year ago in a truncated version. That version I believe was on the DVD. Hasn’t been seen since and certainly hasn’t been restored . Was not a successful film. Very elaborate souvenir program. Believe that the opening scenes and titles were designed by Saul Bass.

There was a DVD that’s now out of print, but it’s available in HD on iTunes.

Fox/Disney…. Doubtful

Fox/Disney…. Doubtful

Luckily, the picture quality of the Ultimate Edition Blu-ray is pretty good & the story is expanded to make more sense!

 

[trajan007]

Fox/Disney…. Doubtful

Yea I know but one can dream.

 

[YANG]

Fox/Disney…. Doubtful

that "RAT" is probably holding ScottFree Production works as hostage... like what they do with LightStorm/Cameron, sort of sending message to Ridley, "U wanna bail out the ur works to be remastered into higher resolution homevideos? Give us something new that have potential to be boxoffice knockouts... Weeeeeel Giiiivit to Ya "
