I got caught again buying titles through a previous more expensive sale.Mark-P said:
Thanks for the heads up. Some great titles that have been on my wish list and very reasonable pricing plus free shipping with Amazon Prime. I wonder if WAC is going to have an equivalent or even better sale on their site for the 4th holiday weekend. Agreed with Matt above on The Bowery Boys, however, those collections are probably selling too well at full retail to be included in the sale. Most of the titles included appear to be deep "catalogue" items that have been in release for three or four years now.Mark-P said:
BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON (1972) Franco Zeffirelli, fresh from the cross-over success of Romeo and Juliet, tackles the transcendent and true tale of Francis of Assisi’s journey from soldier to saint. Lensed through a decidedly post-Sixties prism, the flower power and Donovan score fade away for a truly inspirational third act confrontation between Francis (Graham Faulkner) and Pope Innocent III (Alec Guinness). JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL (1973) Richard Bach’s runaway inspirational bestseller about a bird’s spiritual journey to “perfect speed” and grace gets a live-action adaptation courtesy of journeyman filmmaker Hall Bartlett (Zero Hour). Combining voice-over work from a stellar vocal cast headed by James Franciscus with truly stunning aerial photography from cinematographer Jack Couffer, this seagull fable is as unconventional as its source material. Music by Neil Diamond. LIFEGUARD (1976) A pre-iconic Sam Elliott, mustache and all, toplines as the titular lifeguard in this existential coming-of-identity tale. As his 15th High School reunion beckons lifeguard Rick Carlson, he starts to question his choice of shore duty over “adult” success. Although the milieu and the tropes indicate the coming of the modern surf, sand, and sex movies (as well as a certain mammoth syndicated TV hit twenty years later) the film is pure Seventies cinematic introspection. Elliott’s ease and gravitas are more than already apparent as he almost singlehandedly carries the movie, and it’s clear that his sun was still rising higher. Parker Stevenson plays the young tyro lifeguard learning the ropes, while Anne Archer and Kathleen Quinlan are the sirens calling to Rick from the two sides of his life.

That's how I take it as I've been waiting on The Beast with Five Fingers for about 15 years now.Peter M Fitzgerald said:Hmmm... 'Attack of the Killer Bs' celebration from Warner Archives at Comic-Con... and THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS, THE FROZEN DEAD and THE HAND are mentioned... perhaps an early hint at their Halloween MOD release slate this year?
Quite possibly. Last year's Comic Con had Warner Archive release teasers before they became reality later in the year.Peter M Fitzgerald said:Hmmm...
