The Turning Point.

AMOLAD from TT would be most welcome!

Sorry, I made an error in my original post.

I listed A Matter of Life and Death as a title I didn't think you had, but of course in the US it's Sony.

Release that and I'll send TT a kidney.

I didn't say whose kidney, though.

Just want to add a 2nd vote for Krull, an isolated James Horner score would be excellent.

Also a 2nd for Blame it on RIo.

And add to the list Gwendolyn (Perils of Gwendolyn in the Land of the Yik Yak)

 

[AnthonyClarke]

The Boyfriend would be great .. and must be ready for release since the Warner Archive release on DVD obviously came from good elements and was only a couple of years ago.

One film I am sort of expecting to see from Twilight Time (or Criterion but Twilight may be the more likely landing spot) is Hal Ashby's The Last Detail. It features Jack Nicholson giving what is in my opinion one of his greatest screen performances (maybe one of the best characters ever captured on film) as Bud "Badass" Buddusky a drinking, cursing, brawling, balling sailor handed a bullsh*t detail that involves delivering a young Randy Quaid (who is also outstanding in this) to the brig for getting caught stealing from the church collection plate to serve what everyone involved knows is a ridiculously harsh sentence doled out by a vindictive superior officer.

Nicholson is on fire in this film and under Ashby's wonderful touch with actors delivers a performance (as do all the actors in the film) that makes you feel as if you are watching a real person and not some raging caricature. Coming on the heels of performances in The King of Marvin Gardens and Carnal Knowledge and just before Chinatown, The Passenger, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jack was in his early 70s prime. It really is a defining role for Nicholson and one not to be missed.

Grover Crisp and his team have already done a restoration of the film and prepared it for HD presentation and so I figure this should be landing somewhere soon. I hope they get Jack, who is not working much now, to sit for a commentary (or at least an interview) for this film as I would love to hear him talk about making this film and working with Ashby and this is a film that does not get the attention that it deserves.

I totally spaced on my number-one (okay, number-two behind BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS) most-wanted Fox Blu-Ray release— the Steven Soderbergh remake of SOLARIS. Hopefully Twilight Time can get a crack at this.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

My most wanted thing would be more classic 3D titles, either from the 50s/60s or the 80s.

I'd buy the Soderbergh "Solaris" remake on Blu in a heartbeat. After the DVD came out, Soderbergh had mentioned that he wanted to do an alternate cut of the film, but that was never released (I don't know if he ever actually completed an alternate version). The DVD includes the screenplay, which was very different from the finished film. If there was any of that alternate footage still in existence, I'd love to see it.

EASILY my favorite performance from Nicholson. (Yes, even topping LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!) I'd snap up any restored edition in a second. Might be difficult to get Jack for a commentary...usually, actors are compensated for those.

I'd also love to see Soderbergh's Solaris on blu, but my most-wanted blu-ray is Portrait of Jennie. Can TT help me with that one?

Thank God Its Friday (with extra scenes.....crap how bout a real menu and some extras as the 2006 DVD was total bare-bones. OK some extras of Donna Summer, Teri Nunn and Andrea Howard. Oh and some extras with the late Paul Jabara)
