I had given up hope of ever seeing a proper HD restoration of this classic. This news is nothing short of breathtaking, and I cannot wait!

Hi Michael. I wouldn't be caught dead seeing the unnecessary 2016 version, but it was gratifying to know that the new version was a relative flop.

I only just discovered by accident that there were new shots included in this version of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN. I was completely amazed and elated about it. These are golden goodies I have never, ever seen before - and in such clarity! (I am referring first to a sequence where Josephine Hutchinson...

It will be great to have WILLARD even as a barebones release. But I recall thinking for years that it would have been possible to have Bruce Davison and Ernest Borgnine offer up memories, if not a full audio commentary. Ernie has left us, but Bruce is here.

I just wet my pants here in NY... WILLARD has been my #1 Most Wanted title for AGES. :dancing-banana-04:

I'm a big fan of this movie. Very happy to hear there will be an effort made at presenting a closer image to Blatty's original cut.

Great News!! It's what I have been waiting to hear for a long time now! I had lost all hope because there hadn't been any announcement in June. :) Okay, so having gotten that out of the way, I suppose the inevitable "but's..." should be opined now. Yeah, I do kind of think it's a shame that THE...

Unlike an old sitcom, the cast is so under-written that it's pretty interchangeable who the other "boys" are, other than Leo and Huntz.

Oh, so do I, Bob. However, I think that sometimes the diehard film fan thinks more of intent than the original director may have even originally considered -- at some times (not always). When tops of heads are unusually too cramped and bumping the upper frame, I'm not sure the director would...

I'm a fan of having films properly in OAR. Still, sometimes the 'wide' presentations can look unusually cramped, with heads practically scraping the top of the frame. It's one thing to have a huge wasted space gap on top, but I don't mind some breathing room.

I am grateful that we're getting MR. HEX at all (as I'm sure we all are). I suppose while we watch it we should be aware that this is pretty much as good as it's going to get.

But I wonder if no more Gabe wasn't actually a good thing? I say that because he always seemed to be juggled around in different "serious" roles, and nobody knew what to do with him. By the way - thanks for the welcome back, guys.

I appreciate your diligence in that, Randy ... and I myself as a rule am always a staunch supporter of having things in perfect chronological order whenever possible... but I still feel that The Bowery Boys series is not one which makes a big difference in how they're screened. There are no key...

I just ordered the new Volume 4 Set! I can't believe we now have EVERY Bowery Boys feature! Thanks, everyone, for keeping me updated on this release... I have been checking this thread regularly! I know I'm gonna luv dis set, but den again, dat is a simple seduction!

I did just pitifully this year; I only managed 14 films, but I just really wasn't into it. Spending more time with my music these days...Still, on Halloween I played CITY OF THE DEAD (1960), courtesy of the excellent-looking VCI disc...City of the Dead (1960) ****Sorry, but this movie will still...
