While many films have seen many rereleases throughout the DVD reign-and were remastered, had uoppdated features, etc-there are a group of dvds that have never gone out of print.-yet never were upgraded in anyway. These DVD s are your spinster Aunts-you love them because they are still around-but feel bad that they never felt the need to gussy themselves up to grab a man (or vice versa W/ UNCLES).
My choices would be :
The Fury : While almost all of DePalmas other important films have received either Criterion attention (Sisters) , or have been upgraded immensely (Carrie, Dressed to Kill)- The Fury has stayed barebones except for trailer. This cries out for remastering and extras. Its topicality with Middle East scenes deserve attention.
The Changeling- one of rthe most beautifully shot and eerie horror films of alltime never got unleashed from its HBO barebones dungeon. Surely this deserves at least an anormorphic transition.
The Rose: I never understood the disrespect for this on dvd. This would be a Twilight Time stunner.
The Wanderers: One of my favorite movies ever.
Rollercoaster, Two Minute Warning,Earthquake, The Hindenburg, Gray Lady Down : How cool would these look and sound on Blu? Earthquake is no less important than The Toweing Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure-but yet their bare bones releaasses are like their subject matter-a Disaster!
