    Fox: Let's Try Again - More Films by Kazan

    There are far too few films released to video that were directed by Elia Kazan. One of my favorites is Man on a Tightrope. To my knowledge, this has never been released to video in any form. Boomerang and Wild River are two others. C'mon Fox, give us some good releases of these films on dvd.

    Columbia: Jubal

    I just saw Jubal with Glenn Ford and Ernest Borgnine on the Westerns channel. That is certainly one of the better westerns I have seen in a long time. The story and the cast were outstanding - rings circles around most present day movies. How about a dvd of this in its proper aspect ratio of...

    Columbia - The Violent Men

    How about it, Columbia, release "The Violent Men" (1955) on dvd in its proper aspect ratio? I saw it recently on the Westerns Channel and it started off in widescreen and then went to pan and scam. In my opinion, this is a gem of a movie starring Glenn Ford, Edward G. Robinson, and Barbara Stanwyck.

    Here Comes Mr. Jordan

    This film was made in 1941 by Columbia. But, I just saw the movie on Turner Classic movies. So, am not sure who owns this title. It was an excellent movie and would love to get this one on dvd.

    *** Official THE ALAMO Discussion Thread

    I have read several articles to the effect that this movie is a complete re-write of the history of the Alamo, incorporating Disney concocted political correctness, as well as damaging the reputation of the main characters ie Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, Jim Bowie, etc. I won't be wasting my...

    Artisan - The Night They Saved Christmas

    Does anyone know how to contact Artisan Entertainment? I've looked on their web page and there are no contacts listed. I would like to request that they release "The Night They Saved Christmas" on dvd, since this is a Hallmark movie. In the US, the only version available is on VHS, and the tape...

    Warner - Release Some More Classics

    I recently saw a movie on Turner Classic Movies that I really enjoyed. I hadn't seen it in a very long time and enjoyed it far more than most of the new movies. The title is "Music for Millions" with Margaret O'Brien, June Allyson, Jose Iturbi, and Jimmy Durante. It would be great if some time...

    Warner: How about Hondo?

    I caught a piece of Hondo on TCM last night. I had thought this excellent John Wayne movie had already been released to DVD. But, I checked and found that it hasn't. I would sure like to see a copy of this movie on DVD. I know that the movie was originally released in 3-D. Am hopeful this won't...

    FOX: Why so few Elia Kazan on DVD

    Elia Kazan directed several excellent movies but there are very few that have been placed on DVD. I would like to see more of this director's movies placed on DVD. These films in particular: Boomerang Pinky Panic in the Streets Viva Zapata Man on a Tightrope A Face in the Crowd Wild River

    Return to Snowy River

    Well, Disney screws up another good film in its transfer to DVD. This film's original aspect ratio was 2.35:1, according to IMDB. The DVD is panned and scammed to 1.33:1.:angry: Too bad this one wasn't done by 20th Century Fox. They did right by The Man From Snowy River. It's in the correct...

    Touchstone:Defective DVD - Sweet Home Alabama

    I've noticed several instances where the English subtitles are popping up on this DVD. Sometimes they go away by themselves, others report having to turn them off each time. In my case, on my JVC-502SL, I had to turn them off each time. I've noticed several posts where other people are reporting...

    Objective Burma - Still Warner?

    I note that this excellent WWII movie is available on VHS from Warner. It seems to have fallen into the chasm of Errol Flynn movies missing from DVD. This is definitely one of the better WWII movies ever made and would love to see it on DVD. How about it, Warner?

    DVD Recording Media

    Does anyone have an idea which of the dvd recording formats offers the highest level of compatibility for other DVD players? I had understood that the DVD-R format was the most compatible. Then I read something yesterday where the DVD+R format offered the highest compatibility. I know the DVD...

    Golden Girls

    One of my wife's favorite TV shows is The Golden Girls. I occasionally watch the show and I agree, it is one of the funniest TV comedies to come along. I would personally like to see this show placed on dvd. I haven't seen it placed on any video format as yet. I believe IMDB shows Buena Vista as...

    Fox - Man On A Tightrope

    Any chance Fox will release this excellent Cold War drama to DVD. This is an Elia Kazan movie released in 1953 and stars Fredric March, Gloria Grahame, Terry Moore, and Cameron Mitchell.:emoji_thumbsup:

    The Search - An MGM Title?

    The Search is a great little WWII drama starring Montgomery Clift circa 1948. This film has not made it to disc, including laserdisc. Would love to see it issued on DVD. Since this movie was made in 1948, doesn't it still belong to MGM? I recently picked up another good MGM WWII drama on DVD...

    There are a lot of good classic movie titles locked up in your vault that you acquired from MGM that need to be released to DVD. How about surprising and making many of us happy by releasing them in their OAR!!! :wink:

    Warner- Escape From Fort Bravo

    I'm not sure this is still an MGM film, but the MGM logo pops up when it starts. I've seen this recently on the Western channel. It's really an excellent western. How about a dvd?;)

    Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday (1976)

    I caught the tail-end of this movie on cable TV last night. From what I saw, it was a very good movie with Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed. I don't see this on video anywhere and am not too sure who would distribute it. I believe it would make a very good DVD release.;)

    Zulu

    I recently noticed that a new version of Zulu had been issued on DVD by Belle and Blade Home Video. It was advertised as the best print available. Based on that, I ordered a copy. I received it yesterday and watched a portion of it. In my opinion, it is no better quality than that offered by...

    Fox - Man On A Tighrope

    I had earlier posted a brief review of this great classic movie on the Internet Movie Data Base website. I pointed out that, to my knowledge, this movie was not available on video anywhere. I have my copy from copying the film from the American Movie Classics channel. I've had several...

    Disney - Return To Snowy River

    I've heard rumors that Fox will release the title Man From Snowy River on dvd in the near future. Per my laserdisc, the follow-up movie to the Man From Snowy River, named "Return To Snowy River" was issued on the Disney label. Seemed strange to me as some of the same stars and certainly the...

    Paramount - How About Shepherd of the Hills

    I've seen this movie title out on video tape for quite a while. It would be an excellent addition to the John Wayne collection of movies available on DVD. This movie never made it to laserdisc so I had to reluctantly purchase a copy on VHS. Would really appreciate consideration to issue the...

    MGM - The Search (1948)

    I just ran up on this fabulous film recently starring Montgomery Clift. This is really a great film from the WWII era. Any chance of a release in the not too distant future?
