Give me a new HD transfer 16x9 DVD of The Black Stallion.

 

[Keith Paynter]

YELLOWBEARD!!

The proliferation of bootlegs on well-known auction sites means that there are people who are willing to buy it, but are getting stuck with inferior merchandise...

West Side Story SE?

 

[Derek Estes]

West Side Story SE?

Did you miss their Wonderful SE, or was there some problem with it that I am not aware of?

I would definitely repurchase a few titles some of which are rumored to be released this year.
Midnight Cowboy*
The Graduate
The Apartment*
Marty*
The Misfits
A Fistful of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
Duck You Sucker -not released yet
the Woody Allen films -Annie Hall*
the early Kubrick films
Night of the Hunter
Red River -with Both versions
Tom Jones*

*Winner Best Picture Academy Awards

 

[Mark_TS]

The Graduate (what the hell is wrong with you, MGM?)
Annie Hall
On the Beach

MGM should give us anamorphic SEs of:

Jean de Florette
Manon of the Spring
Babette's Feast

Agreed, the current DVDs are deplorable!

Also agree on an anamorphic OAR version of Summer Lovers.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Jean de Florette
Manon of the Spring
Babette's Feast

among the worst-looking DVDs ever produced by *any* studio...which is a real shame!!!

and the subtitles on the non-anamorphic Babette's feast prevent you from zooming the image on a 16x9 display. It's a travesty that these films are not done properly. They could look so beautiful!

 

[DaveRU]

Another vote for Yellowbeard

I believe these MGM Bronson titles are still MIA:
From Noon Till Three
Telefon
The White Buffalo

 

[RyanZ]

Special editions of Duel in the Sun and Portrait of Jennie with some extras!

Duel in the Sun has a trailer, Jennie is barebones. Martin Scorcese is a great fan of Duel in the Sun and could do a great commentary. Portrait of Jennie at least deserves a trailer or a commentary by a film historian. A flop upon release, Portrait of Jennie is now being hailed as one of the greatest love stories of all time.

Manhunter needs an OAR (anamorphic widescreen) release. It is currently only available in modified (pan & scan or "standard") form.

Black Stallion in desperate need of a new pristine HD film-tape transfer and proper 16x9 presentation. The current DVD is an EE-halo/digital-noise/MPEG filled mess.

 

[John Kilduff]

"Telefon" now is in the care of Warner Brothers, who acquired it in the Turner buyout. "The White Buffalo" and "From Noon 'Til Three" are still with MGM Home Entertainment, though.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Thanks, IMDB!

It would be great for MGM to re-release their SE DVDs of Phantasm and The Terminator, both have gone out of print. The SEs had plenty of features so just a re-release with all the previous features and Widescreen transfers would be great.

 

[DaveRU]

The recent release of For A Few Dollars More SE in Europe is still missing about 30 seconds of footage. Please can you rectify this for the upcoming Region 1 release.

The footage is contained on the Italian DVD I own and is regularly shown on British TV in this form with English dialogue in the missing footage.

[PopBodhi]

Summer Lovers in 16:9 encoded widescreen. The film was shot in 1.85:1 and the current P&S DVD is horrid.

I agree.

Also, I would love to have Mr. Mom and Moonstruck, but only in anamorphic widescreen.

 

[Dick]

EXODUS (blow it up and start from scratch)
JEAN DE FLORETTE / MANON OF THE SPRING (ditto)
MIRACLE MILE (16x9)
MAGIC SWORD (Sharp image, please)
ANNIE HALL (subtitle-corrected)
BLACK STALLION (16x9)

 

[MattFini]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 please give us a special edtion

Child's Play OAR is most important, but a SE would be great too.

Pumpkinhead OAR

 

[Qui-Gon John]

We need an anamorphic release of 12 Angry Men.

Actually, I'd like a release of the 1997 version of this movie on DVD.
