Re: Upcoming Warner's/Fox /Paramount 'Classic' Releases

"The Chairman" is a nice "political" film. I like it & will buy it. "Operation Crossbow" is a favorite of mine & buying it will allow me to retire my LD version. I find the plot of "Band Of Angels" interesting & I've never been in a position to watch it, so that is a purchase to make. But the REAL gem is "Madame Curie", which is a great film with splendid acting & a film I love. It will be mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I also have a copy of Operation Crossbow on laserdisc as well as one of Madame Currie. I will probably keep them as the artwork, notes and photos on these gatefold editions are nicely done. The same will go for Some Came Running when it finally is released. I just can't completely let go of my laserdisc collection - some just look too nice. It will be great to finally see Flower Drum Song in widescreen - the p & s ld won't be missed!

I'll more than likely keep my "Madame Curie" LD too. Garson is just so great in that film!!

Here are some of the previous threads on those topics. You might also be interested to know that The Conformist is being paired with 1900 and The Chairman is being paired with The Quiller Memorandum.
