You would think "Oliver !" would be a natural for Blu-ray release. Also , where is "The Bridge on the River Kwai" or 'The Guns of Navarone" , much less "LoA"

I'd buy "Barry Lyndon" on Blu-ray in a heartbeat

As a New York kid of the 1970s, I remember it well : those channels were my film education. Channel 5 used to often run a whole week of late night movies devoted to a particular star, like Cagney or Bette Davis, while nobody of that time could forget that Thanksgiving meant "King Kong" and it's...

I want "BL" on BR !!

I heartily second that !! This would make a perfect Criterion title

I agree with this 150%. Actually, I'd even prefer if they licensed this title to Criterion

There was a Laser disc of that concert that came out in late 1991, about 5 months after the actual show

I'm a Columbia House member as well. Where did you get the codes from ??

On my Sony HDTV, "Full Screen" is the mode to use to view anamorphic DVDs to fill the screen. There is an option in the menu to recognize 4:3 signals, and display them in the correct ratio, or to automatically stretch them into a widescreen mode. The option to display the 4:3 material in it's...

A Foreign Affair One Eyed Jacks (hopefully Criterion, but I'd even take Paramount) A Hatful of Rain Wild River

I just wish they'd do ONE EYED JACKS

It would be great to any of the remaining Minnelli dramas (Where, o where is SOME CAME RUNNING ????)

Since they had a Preston Sturges box set, wouldn't a Billy Wilder one (containing THE MAJOR ANDTHE MINOR, FIVE GRAVES, upgraded LOST WEEKEND, A FOREIGN AFFAIR, and THE EMPEROR WALTZ, even throw in DOUBLE INDEMNITY) be perfect ??

The Union Square store in NYC had all for Volumes at that price- for some reasn that had a lot of copies of volume 1, and less of all the others

The new "McCartney" 3 DVD collection from Rhino also has DTS as the only 5.1 choice- no Dolby Digital

I'm still holding out for universal to do a Billy Wilder box set, of his 40s films. I'd get it even if it included 'Double Indemnity", which I already have

J&R in NYC didn't have the box, or the seperate "FMJ". It may be some kind of Warner issue: a few weeks ago J&R did no have the standard new "Deliverance", but they did have the hi-def versions

I have about 300 DVDs. Since I only get films I already love, or at least like a lot, it's worth it to me to have the films I love in the best quality available. I've only had maybe 3 or 4 "blind buys", without seeing the film somewhere else beforehand, and most of those were OK (the only one I...

It wasn't in J&R today either. Or the box set itself. But they did have all the other new Kubricks seperately (even the documentary, which I thought WAS ONLY in the box set)

Do you think Warners missed the boat with 40th Anniversary editions of "Bonnie and Clyde" and "cool Hand Luke", and a 10th Anniversary edition of "LA Confidential" ? Usually, they are quite good at working these tie-ins, so I wonder why we didn't see any of these this year ??

Let's hope Criterion wants "One eyed Jacks" as well

Since Criterion is dipping into the Paramount library, I wonder if they'll ever do "One Eyed Jacks" ??

This is the type of person who needs to get educated on the subject. And wait a couple years until all sets are widescreen, and she'll be STILL moaning about the black bars on sides of her screen now

I've been holding off on buying this title for that very reason

"A Hatful of Rain" was based on a play by Michael V Gazzo, who is now remembered for playing Frankie Pantangeli in "Godfather 2". It concerns a former Korean War vet (Murray) who while injured becomes hooked on morphine and moves to heroin. He keeps it a secret from his wife and father (Saint...

It starred Don Murray, Eva Marie Saint, Lloyd Nolan, Henry Silva, and in one of his earliest films, Anthony Franciosa (who was nominated for an Oscar). Directed by the great Fred Zinnemann, a lot of it was filmed on location in NYC, so we get some great footage of the city in the 1950s

Do you think we'll ever see "A Hatful of Rain" on DVD ??

This really sums up the film. It's a very raw film, filled with unpleasant behavior and racial slurs. I was a teenager in Brooklyn at the time the film was released, and it is quite accurate in portraying a segment of the population that did exist at the time. I look at the film as a part of...

My choices: "Exile on Main Street" (or "Sticky Fingers")- The Rolling Stones "Purple rain" (or "Sign O the Times") - Prince 'London Calling"- The Clash "Remain in Light"-Talking Heads "Freeze frame" J Geils Band "Layla"- Derek and the Dominoes

There was one for the Stevie Wonder album when the series was initially released on Rhino/Image DVD. Many of those titles listed above were on the Rhinos first. The Eagle Rock got the rights to the series, and re-released all but the Stevie Wonder one
