Glad to see Annie coming.MatthewA said:Sony markets it as a family film, and those seem to be the only catalog titles selling these days, and except for The Caine Mutiny and that desert picture, the only Sony catalog titles not coming from Twilight Time or Image have also been family films (other than The Muppets Take Manhattan and Milo and Otis, I can't think of others). But with the Broadway revival coming this fall and the Willow Smith re-remake still in the works, I would have been more surprised if they didn't do it. I was more surprised to see Bye Bye Birdie end up at TT.
I'll just be happy to put the unpleasant memories of the Pan & Scan "Special Anniversary Edition" behind me for good.

I think Sony has been doing a pretty good job with catalog. Here is a list of non-family catalog titles (other than Caine and the desert film) to be released by Sony on Blu-ray:
Tommy
The Guns of Navarone
A Passage to India
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Das Boot
Stand by Me
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Dr. Strangelove
Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Taxi Driver
In Cold Blood
Stripes
Jason and the Argonauts (plus other Harryhausen collection titles)
Some that are expected include:
From Here to Eternity
Oliver!
On the Waterfront
that desert picture
I also don't hold using TT against Sony at all like some here do. It was wonderful getting Picnic, Pal Joey and other titles in great shape from TT. Sony apparently gets the credit for the mastering.

I don't know where you got those extras, but they sound pretty much like what I'd expect. The film really needs a new doc and outtakes. I know they filmed the crap out of that thing...who knows if they got it right in the end? But they sure did burn through a lot of film. Last year, I met one of the assistant directors of Annie and he said he aged five years while they were making it. Lots and lots of work in that one. I don't know if "My Hollywood Adventure" is a new doc or a 1982 short; probably the latter. But who wouldn't want to hear from this lady? :Ratko Mladic said:Extras:
