Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Warner Archive how about more Grindhouse blaxploitation films and Film Noir films that were shot in CinemaScope?

BLAXPLOITATION FILMS:
Black Eye
Black Samson
Comeback Charleston Blue
Three The Hardway
Melinda
Hit Man "72"
Cool Breeze

FILM NOIR FILMS IN (CinemaScope)
The Unholy Wife
I Died a Thousand Times
Slightly Scarlet
Escape to Burma
House of Numbers
The Learning Tree
Bare Knuckles
Brothers "77"
The Hitter
Hang Up

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Ralph Bakshi's Hey Good Lookin (1982) .

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Slightly Scarlet is already out on DVD from VCI in widescreen format.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Provided that Warners is not already preparing the Complete Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for release on Blu Ray, how about releasing some of the previously unreleased cartoons in the Warner Archive?

There are some great Bugs Bunny cartoons that are unreleased (eg. Which is Witch, Bushy Hare). If Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips can see the light of day, how about some of these other classics?

How about finally releasing the "Censored 11" cartoons in the WB Archive prior to retail release? (And wouldn't it be nice if ALL of the cartoon catalog were finally released in chronological sets rather than all of these "Greatest Hits" packages?)

The Joe McDoakes shorts would be nice to see too.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Tim,
I thought Warner already stated that Joe McDoakes shorts will be a part of this program. Take a look at the chat transcript.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

The color "Travel Talks" shorts, particularly the pre-WW2 ones.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

(Deleted, posted in wrong thread)

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

SuperScope, actually. And a mediocre picture, to boot.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

I would like to see more rare Warner Bros films from the 1950s and 60s, as these don't run on TCM. Home Before Dark (1958) with Jean Simmons might be nice.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Warner confirmed in a chat that Home Before Dark is coming....

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Two Seconds
The Sea Wolf (an undisputed classic!)
Hell On Frisco Bay

Cagney films:
Sinner's Holiday
Blonde Crazy
Taxi!
Winner Take All
Hard To Handle
Jimmy The Gent
Boy Meets Girl

As mentioned in earlier posts: Wheeler and Woolsey, particularly the "pre-code" films, leading up to, and including, Cockeyed Cavaliers

All the noirs from MGM, RKO, Allied Artists, and Monogram mentioned in the post by Peter Fitzgerald, particularly interested in reasonable-looking prints of the Monogram noirs.

The Underworld Story--Dan Duryea

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

I'm pretty sure those Cagney pictures you mentioned will be released soon.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Previously mentioned that I would buy:
DARK OF THE SUN
THE WINDOW
BOY WITH GREEN HAIR
SEA WOLF
HANGING TREE
YOUNG CASSIDY
BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS
CARNY
DADDY'S GONE A-HUNTING (Really tense 1969 thriller)
SINBAD THE SAILOR (What a fun adventure film!)

A few that I don't think weren't mentioned.
SLIM (Pat O'Brien, Henry Fonda - high wire workers)
THE GAZEBO (Glenn Ford, macabre comedy in TROUBLE WITH HARRY vein)
THE EMIGRANTS & THE NEW LAND (Jan Troell's epic Swedish adventure)
TEX AVERY set. Maybe Warner is reluctant to spend money on this for commercial release because not many people outside of animation aficionados recognize the name Tex Avery, while every remembers Looney Tunes. Perhaps the Archives can rescue such a collection.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

ZANDY'S BRIDE, too (completing the Troell/Warner Bros. films).

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Any and all Tarzan titles. Lex Barker, Gordon Scott, etc. As collections like the Weismuller Tarzans.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

I'll ask for a few real rarities:

SECRETS OF THE FRENCH POLICE(RKO 1932)
THE FLORENTINE DAGGER(WB 1935)
KIND LADY(MGM 1935)
NOAH'S ARK(WB 1928)

And the Monogram/Allied Artists Horror films that WB owns(VOODOO MAN, RETURN OF THE APE MAN, FACE OF MARBLE, etc.).

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

A couple more:

STORY OF MANKIND
JOHN PAUL JONES

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

THE MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT : (1969) Katherine Hepburn and all star cast

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

BOULEVARD NIGHTS

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

STORY OF THREE LOVES
BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET (1957)
THE GLASS SLIPPER
EXCUSE MY DUST
TWO TICKETS TO BROADWAY
SHE'S BACK ON BROADWAY
THE GIRL MOST LIKELY (Jane Powell)

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

I got the 1948 KIDNAPPED with Roddy McDowall. This is a pretty cheap film, but it looks great and is a Monogram film. Actually, for a Monogram, it looks like a million bucks! And the transfer is superb. One of the best looking Monogram's I have seen. Also, THE BIG CIRCUS is a Allied Artists release. And I heard the BOMBA films will be offered.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Holiday in Mexico
Small Town Girl (Jane Powell)

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

"A Pete Smith Speciality" - 1 reel shorts.

"John Paul Jones" (1959) - odd this one with Bette Davis hasn't made it to DVD?

"The Terror" (1963 AIP) - Boris Karloff / Jack Nicholson

Also some of these Saturday Night cult horror and sci-fi classic staples:

"The Green Slime" (1968 MGM)
"The Beast of Hollow Mountain" (1956 UA)
"The Brain Eaters" (1958 AIP)
"From Hell it Came" (1957 Warner/AA)
"Beyond the Time Barrier" (1960 AIP)
"The Face of Marble" (1946 Monogram)
"The Time Travelers" (1964 AIP)

There are many others!

Also is "Caltiki - The Immortal Monster" (1959) an AA film another Warner distribution holding?


And Warner, when will you offer the restored print of "The Best Years of our Lives" (1946) by itself outside of the box set?

Eric

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

Uncut, uncensored Complete Tex Avery MGM & Warners set
Uncut, uncensored "censored eleven"
Uncut, uncensored Tom and Jerry
and since I am a big Jack Benny fan “Horn Blows At Midnight”. On his radio show it was always mentioned.

Re: Suggested titles for Warner Archives future selections

My vote also for THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT, along with GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE. Two classics that deserve a release. I am sure the transfers will be better than the LD I still have.
