I like it when WarnerArchive takes a deep dive into their catalog and comes out with titles that surprise everyone. The Strawberry Blonde is an incredibly charming film and with that cast I am surprised it did not become a better-known film. This will be a day-one bluray purchase for me. I...

Now wouldn't a hearing-related gif have been more appropriate since I was referencing a podcast? Back to WarnerArchive...finally though, the news has arrived - 6 new titles in March!

I have less than no interest in listening to anyone's podcast. I just want a consistently scheduled corporate announcement.

Me too. Since I have not seen either film, I am excited they are coming in time for viewing this weekend.

Last night my checking account was debited twice by Amazon for what looked liked the 2 blu-rays. Dancing Daughters has a January 21 ship date and the other 4 have February 7 dates. I had to go on Amazon and pretend to cancel each one to find out Rancho Notorious and Dancing Daughters were "in...

The unspoken part of that promo is "Hey, look at all of the film and tv properties WE at Warner Brothers Entertainment now *own*!" Thr acquisitions are part of their 100 year story. The opening film featured was MGM's The Wizard of Oz! Therefore will non-heritage WB films be featured...

All 5 are absolute must-haves for me. Now I can replace some dvds that I don't have the patience or interest in testing to see if they work. I love Errol Flynn, Doris Day and Judy Garland but they have been well-served by WarnerArchive and I am sure we'll see more titles with them again soon...

This statement is very welcome and with THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA, it closes the books on 2022 on a high note. So moving forward.....will the initial 2023 announcements be made in December or January? (I can already hear some eyes roll, but eventually someone would ask.)

Oh either of these two in particular would be fantastic: The Great Ziegfeld The Life of Emile Zola

Every time I see this thread with activity - especially during last days of the month - I immediately think there have been new WHV announcements.

Well we live in a marketplace where the film that won the most recent Oscar for Best Picture has not had any physical release yet, so I am grateful for every vintage film released on DVD and blu-ray.

I would buy every film on that list.

This is the news I had been hoping to read; besides being Judy Garland classics, all 3 are really, really good movies made by the best MGM craftsman, starring some of the most charismatic and talented actors and actresses of all time. I just know these WarnerArchive releases are going to be...

At least some of the footage found in that German TV broadcast is out there; I just watched the longer version of the 1941 "Hallucination" scene on YouTube. The above-referenced movie-censorship site really does a spectacular shot-by-shot analysis and notes over 40 differences! Whether cuts...

Wow, I had not been aware of that - virtually every One, Two, and Three Star reviews referenced the usage of the stills in disparaging terms. I attended the world premiere of the restored version at Radio City Music Hall back in 1983. The original 1954 premiere footage was shown before the...

It is essential reading: A Star Is Born: The Making of the 1954 Movie and Its 1983 Restoration

I'd buy every film on this list, plus one more very few talk about anymore, unfortunately: A Guy Named Joe.

Now that the full The Thin Man series is released, I actually hold out hope WarnerArchive follows up with their non-Thin Man films: Manhattan Melodrama, Evelyn Prentice, Double Wedding, I Love You Again and Love Crazy.

Three absolute must-buys. It's been years since I have seen Edge of Darkness but it was just terrific; a great wartime thriller with superb performances from Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan.

I wonder if the WarnerArchive will have anything special planned for the 100 anniversary of Judy Garland's birth, now just over 6 months away. I'd love to see blu-rays of The Clock, Babes In Arms, Babes On Broadway, Words And Music and Till The Clouds Roll By.

Ooops, sorry Yes! Thank you! Tom Thumb was an MGM-released film and there's a WarnerArchive dvd of it.

The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm features Jesse Matthews, all but forgotten now but internationally known as the "British Fred Astaire" in the 1930's. So with that tenuous connection and since I am not sure as to which is the right thread, who has the rights to Waltzes From Vienna, her...

Wow, what a spectacular list! SOME CAME RUNNING has long been one of my Holy Grails. It will be an even better viewing experience if the WarnerArchive does it justice; Vincente Minnelli really paid attention to the impact of color upon every scene. Almost all of the films are must-buys. I...

Thanks for the notification of the lower prices! Room For One More starring Cary Grant is $13.27 right now.

In response to WarnerArchive's tweet announcing that Step By Step is now available on blu-ray, they were asked if it was true that a blu-ray of The French Line was being released next month. I have no idea why that person asked the question that way, but more Jane Russell on blu-ray is a very...

Once again WarnerArchive is certainly unpredictable in their choice of releases.

Time will tell indeed, because I have looked up classic films for years and I have not seen those semi-detailed "phantom pages" on Amazon. And I looked! I randomly searched a bunch of film classics (Random Harvest/Desperate Journey/Marie Antoinette/Words And Music, etc ) and once I got to the...

Regime change or no regime change, the one consistency with the WarnerArchive is the absolute unpredictability of their new releases. The best part about Amazon replacing the WbShop is seeing where those releases rank in sales.....even the best of them barely crack the top 1,000 during their...

Now that Chain Lightning is scheduled for a WarnerArchive release, I wonder if Black Legion will be the next Humphrey Bogart film eventually announced for a bluray release. The version playing on HBOMax now looks pretty good for a 1937 film, at least to my eyes.
