Re: MGM/Fox May War/Western/Comedy titles


That is great news!!! Actually it is the best news I heard of all year as a Gary Cooper fan and with Man of the West and The Westerner coming out on his birth/death month of May. They released 8 of his titles last May and mgm seems to be the only company still interested in releasing his movies on dvd. MGM has released the last 11 of his movies on dvd including the pride of the yankees re-release.

These will probably be bare bones releases as MGM is not all that big on releasing extras unless it is a re-release and it is announced as a special edition. However, that is fine with me as I just hope they release the best prints they can of the movies.

I will go for the Cooper and Mitchum westerns and a couple of the war films, but that is about it.

Re: MGM/Fox May War/Western/Comedy titles


Man of the West was released by MGM in Germany years ago.

But I'm glad about "The Way West" because I adore Kirk Douglas.

Same. I watched Gun Fight at the O.K Corral the other day and loved it.

Re: MGM/Fox May War/Western/Comedy titles


Let me say it before others scream about it. Why is one of the best westerns ever made still without a dvd release? The western "The Gunfighter" has few peers and starred one of Fox's biggest stars Gregory Peck, yet, here we are in 2008 still without a peep about a SD DVD release.

I just don't understand it!

Anyhow, I'm happy about the other western releases and will be buying 5-6 of them with 3-4 war films being added to my collection in May.

@Robert
If you have a codefree DVD player then order it from Amazon.de
The German title is "Der Scharfschütze".

OK, it's PAL and you guys talk about RC1 DVDs but hey, it's better than nothing.
If you need assistance ....
