I'll second Star 80; it was on inHD and looked fine.

I also want a Blu-Ray of All that Jazz without the messed-up colors that make the actors look like smurfs, and an uncut remaster of Sweet Charity.

Add my name to the list. But make it available in Blu-ray with a decent sounding 5.1 audio track.

Yup, Warners badly needs to give this film the proper re-vamp SE it deserves. I can't believe multiple Oscar winning classics like this get all but ignored when some other movies barely worth releasing in the first place get all the bells and whistles dvd technology can throw at them!
Come on Warners, pull your damn fingers out and get the job done properly!

Re: How about an anamorphic SE of Cabaret?


There is a new(?) edition that was just released this year:
Amazon.com: Cabaret: Joel Grey, Liza Minnelli, Michael York: Movies & TV

Is there any difference between it and the old version?
Amazon.com: Cabaret: Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem, Joel Grey, Fritz Wepper, Marisa Berenson, Elisabeth Neumann-Viertel, Helen Vita, Sigrid von Richthofen, Gerd Vespermann, Ralf Wolter, Georg Hartmann, Ricky Renée, Estrongo Nachama, Kathr

Not new; just repackaged with a fancy schmancy slipcover. The current DVD is a dark, dirty mess.

The only disc I've ever imported happened to be from amazon.com.uk. It was the UK BD of Sweeney Todd. I've had it for awhile. Awesome transaction. Awesome disc. It came in a steelbook even.

It will be interesting to see if there is a concurrent US release of Cabaret on BD.




There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Fremantle is a pretty large company (FremantleMedia) but it is not connected with Warner Bros as far as I know - I assume that they have simply picked up UK distribution rights. Let's hope that CABARET will also get a new transfer in SD for those of us, which I think is still most of us, who have not made the 'transition' to HD home video yet.

Probably has something to do with the rights being split since Cabaret was an Allied Artists/ABC Films co-production.




Tell The Weinstein Company to release Richard Williams' animated masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler on DVD in Panavision widescreen and uncut! See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube!

I won't buy another SD DVD release of this title.
