Yes, it was. An exciting festival.

You are right. I think that is the reason why they licensed out the titles to Turbine Media - it is really a rather small company in Germany - but all of the DVDs and BDs that Turbine has released so far are very well-done quality releases. So here is hoping.

I would love to have "Last Valley" on BD. I once watched it in Karlsruhe, Germany, during their Cinerama Widescreen Festival. The print was terrible faded... but what an even! And yes, the DVD is indeed a disaster!

Hi everybody, I just wanted to let you know that Turbine Media is going to release "The Invisible Man" Complete Collection on Blu Ray later this year. It seems that the box set will include all 5 Invisible Man movies, as well as "Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Men". What a nice...

Mark, I've just checked for you on my US Playstation 3. I am sorry to report that the disc is indeed "Region B" locked. What a pity!

Hi everybody, today, my "Captain Lightfoot" ("Wenn die Ketten brechen") Blu Ray arrived from amazon.de. The disc is housed in a very nice digibook and is part of Koch Media's "Masterpieces of Cinema" Collection. Please keep in mind that I am not an expert when it comes to evaluating video...

Dear fellow members, I would like to ask some important questions regarding Fox catalog titles. During the last months, I have read several posts on this forum that hinted at the fact that something terrible happened to the original camera negatives of many classic movies at Fox in the 1970s...

Greeting from Germany, I just wanted to let you know that I have just purchased two Fox Western Classics on Blu-Ray disc: "The Ox-Bow Incident" (Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn) and "Yellow Sky" (Gregory Peck, Richard Widmark) They were released by Koch Media; a studio that has aquired the rights to...

I sincerely hope that they release the next batch of titles with progressively enhanced transfers. It does make a difference and - as Warner really wants to give us the best quality available when it comes to this Archive Collection -I hope they might at least consider it.

@ John Hodson John, I take it "Captain Nemo" is anamorphic widescreen? Could you please verify?

I was wondering..... some titles in the Archive Collection show the following specs: 16X9 Full Frame. Could that mean that the titles are not anamorphic?

Oh.... ... and the thread by RAH about the recall of both "The Longest Day" and "Patton" is missing, too! AW

I have been wondering the same thing. What happened here? AW

Matt, you are right. Here's an excerpt from a transcript of an interview with George Feltenstein conducted by Robert A. Harris: (www.thedigitalbits.com) GF: ... We worked very hard to reconstruct the entire film without having to depend exclusively on the CRI, but had to use it as a basis...
