I have all-but-ceased buying items from Amazon, as I do not like how they are treating their employees, book authors, and (now) studios. Because the HTF is not going to be getting any credit for my purchases when I click through to purchase films, I wanted to give $20, but even though I get a...

As an animation festival geek, I am too often sad that my favorite animated short films are not on Blu-ray, and for some, even the DVDs appear to have been authored with very limited resources. Related to this, over the years I have purchased DVDs of Don Hertzfeldt's work. It almost always...

Discotek Media is releasing their Blu-ray verison of Miyasaki's The Castle of Cagliostro on April 28th. While the specs have not been mentioned with today's announcement of the release date, there is every reason to believe everything they just released on their DVD a few months ago will be...

Preorder is up for a November release: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NV6K02S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

La Reine Margot (aka Queen Margot) is a film based on real life history. It is brutal, savage, violent, erotic, and romantic. Isabelle Adjani has never been sexier or more amazing. La Reine Margot is a 1994 French period film directed by Patrice Chéreau, based on the 1845 historical novel of...

I understand the version being released is the theatrical cut, but I have not yet seen any reviews or comments on the quality of the Blu-ray release. Any thoughts from those who've seen the Blu-ray?

I saw that the 1968 version of The Thomas Crown Affair is available on Blu-ray at Amazon for under $10 and want to snap it up, but I am wondering if anyone has had a chance to review the new Blu-ray for picture and sound quality.

For those of with standard domestic USA region intended Blu-ray players, there are some films available in other countries that will play just fine in your Blu-ray player. For more information about regional-coding, feel free to visit the wikipedia on the regions A, B, and C...

Maybe it is nolstalgia, but this movie just seems to get better with time. Stands up against more modern dragon films very well. I can imagine a properly done Blu-ray would be spectacular, particularly with all those dark scenes in caverns and castles. I can imagine a Twilight Time release...

Bill Hunt reported on thedigitalbits that it was coming from Echo Bridge Home Entertainment along with many other Miramax titles. Sure enough, it is available at Amazon.com for $5.99 with an estimated release of May 2013. This is the film that made me love Annette Bening, but, for such a low...

This is an upgraded version of the long, previous thread from the DVD section which has been quiet for some time. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/17433/gay-friendly-dvds-version-5/840 There are enough films and programs available now on Blu-ray, that a thread covering films or shows with gay...

Summary: Just bought a new Sharp Aquos Quattron 60" from Costco. (I only replace my TV once every 8 or so years, being a man of meager means). I have a Denon 5.1 (both it and my former television, we both from 2001.) Connections: Blu-ray directly connected to television via HDMI Blu-ray audio...

Unfortunately, this now appears to be public domain film, meaning there are multiple versions out on DVD. A friend already purchased one copy and it looks like a port over from VHS. Any advice??? This forum was most helpful when I went to get a copy of "Detour."

Let me start by saying I love A Charlie Brown Christmas but I have thus far held back on buying the Blu-ray because I never think of ACBC as having amazing picture or sound quality. Part of its charm has always been that it became a classic despite its minimal budget and done-with-a-heart but a...

This thread is in response to Adam Jahnke's excellent "Blu Thunder" article over at The Digital Bits that, amongst other things, criticized the studios for dropping special features that had been included on the standard definition DVDs. The Bottom Shelf by Adam Jahnke I am actually...

Just saw this story linked from kongisking.net with the guys making all the documentaries for Jackson's version of King Kong: "...And the ultra-deluxe "King Kong" 2005 two-disc DVD will go on sale in April." As for the "making of" included in the 2005 King Kong DVD set, "...they've saved...

I have the original Fox DVD of "Wallace and Gromit," but was surprized today to find that when I went to REpurchase "The Adventures of Wallace and Gromit" on DVD (The Warner Bros version), it, too, is now out of print. I had given my WB version away to my newphew because I figured I coudl get...

Turner Classic Movies showed this film last night, and it reminded me of how much I really want to own this film on DVD, along with many of Sternberg and Dietrich's unreleased films. Anyone has any hints as to the status of this coming to DVD?

I've been reading all the various threads on the Universal Monster Legacy sets, and how the older versions of these films went out-of-print. Now I am wondering when we might see a reissue of this film, if it might include the two sequels, and possibly a second version of the original in 3-D...

I just purchasd A Room With A View, and inside the DVD case, there was an rebate offer stating that if you buy Meet Me in St. Louis or A Room With A View PLUS any of My Fair Lady, Casablanca, Dr. Zhivago, or Singin' in the Rain in their two-disc SE versions, they'll send you a $10 rebate...

This DVD boxed set has been out now since Tuesday and I have yet to see any reviews of the DVDs, in particular, The Thief of Bagdad which is a personal favorite along with the 1940 version. Any comments regarding the quality of these? Thanks! :) Mark

I loved this series when it was on television, and Paramount released six volumns of the show on VHS with Nelvana. Some episodes never made it on to VHS. Anyone think we'll ever see a DVD release of the complete series? (I am sure it was not a great seller on VHS, but as My...

Just finished watching this Mike Nichol's directed program, and I want the DVD yesturday. ("Powerful" doesn't even begin to explain how much I love this 6.25 hour program.) Any news or details of the DVD release? Mark

Hey all- I recently bought the Golden Collection on DVD as well as Warner Bros SE of The Adventures of Robin Hood, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and The Treasure of the Seirra Madre. Now I have found out that Dark Passage has one of my favorite celebrity-filled Bugs Bunny shorts, and wonder...

I just got back from Costco, where I snagged SpongeBob SquarePants Season 1 on DVD for $18.49, but on the way there, I noticed that there was a boxed set of ALL of the Walt Disney Treasures DVDs released thus far. The one thing missing: the tins. The set sold for $124.49, which is a really...

Anyone have any idea what the status is of getting American Hot Wax released on DVD? Which studio should I be sending letters to? ;) Thanks, Mark

In another thread, people asking about Charade on Criterion DVD (which is now out of print) and saying that Charade comes as a 'bonus' on the new DVD of the vastly inferior The Truth About Charlie. What I want to know is this: Originally, during the ice cream eating scene, Audrey uses the...

Zentropa is being released in April, and yet there is still no information on the specs of the DVD... (I am worried that it is going to be pan-and-scan, which, with a film as visually-focused as this one is, seems like the height of absurdity.) It is not like any fans of this film will...

Another of Mark's highly subjective reviews Victim DVD Released: January 21, 2003 Studio: Home Vision Entertainment (same company as Criterion) Specifications: Widescreen, Enhanced for Widescreen Televisions, Dolby 2.0 surround, Black and White. Bonus Materials:video featurette...

Just a brief note since yesturday I got a copy of Criterion's new release of Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble In Paradise, and I cannot believe how fantastic this film is! And, having been an admirer of Billy Wilder's films, I am a bit embarrassed that I never bothered to check out the films...
