That instance with Ms. Stewart offered insight. But they were thoughtful videos. My complaint is with the placards tacked on to the front. Commentary can be confusing, as with Cabin in the Sky, but sometimes useful in giving background . Ms. Stewart's video clips were well-done and offered...

When ARE disclaimers useful? The way they are done currently offers no context and usually little clue as to what is offensive. In the case of the Cabin in the Sky disc, the disclaimer was there, BUT also a surly commentary by Todd Boyd, author of Young Black Rich and Famous: The Rise of the...

4K GWTW, all I want. And no useless disclaimer., saying, in essence, "Watch this if you can live with yourself!", meanwhile ignoring the violence, homophobia and shameless influence of hip hop and rap that plagues today.

I usually prefer better acting over a great voice with less connection to the material. But with Crowe I sensed a horrible lack of comfort invading his performance due to the inadequacy of his voice. I am watching PYW right now (not for the first time) and am impressed with Marvin. Seberg looks...

Interesting movie--- inasmuch as I saw it and cannot remember a frame of it. If it prompted the release on 4K of the 85 version, which I got, I am grateful to it for that alone.

Wonderful machine, but it won't read my blu-ray data discs. Anyone know how to get them to read?

At last! I watched this two months ago and was hoping....

Looking forward to this!

I ordered this in February and Amazon will not give me a release date on it, though it is past street date. Anyone else having trouble getting it?

Not a fan of anything PTA except Boogie Nights, but was curious and found PDL satisfying. Oddly, the 4K played great on my 820 Pan, but when I went to the blu to see special features, it stopped ( no others have so far from the Colombia set.) I took the blu, put it in my Samsung 4k and a long...

I swore I would not get this one if it didn't contain "Funny Girl,"--especially since "The Front Page" wasn't included as on the Criterion disc of "His Girl Friday.".... But I'm a completist and grabbed it at $150. I have no regrets since beginning with "Dinner" last night (with a friend who'd...

I have the Panasonic 820 from distributor 220 and am really happy with it.

Maybe Vertigo has some misogyny that has tainted it from being the serious critic's darling it was two decades ago, but I love it. TMWKTM has some of that too, with the expectation that Day's character relinquish her career for Stewart's, but those were the mores and I love this and this...

Always an eye-roll: The stupid time-wasting stuff in this film while sacrifing an opportunity to see Brice sing her legendary rendition of My Man; I thought there had been a TV edit the first time I saw it.

Great film and terrific transfer. The old dvd commentary by Brown accuses each character of being a stereotypical representation ( without acknowledging that even stereotypes are based on SOMETHING derived from writers observations in true life) in a damned if you do and damned if you don't way...

Same and a 4K GWTW, even with a "disclaimer."

Fantastic!!!! High Society!?!

It looks great, but is one exteremly flawed film. Your astute judgment about repeat visits is something I absolutely agree with. I don't agree about Rainer. I think that her Anna was a brilliant portrayal of a self-dramatizing diva who never emotionally matured. Her beginning scenes of being...

Really enjoyed this and the German version was great to see.

I don't quite understand why someone would claim to love a film and then greedily go for a sort of weird "reflected glory" to remake it. It doesn't make them a part of the charm and sweetness that give this cult status. You can't really set out to make a cult classic, nor can you usually--yes...

While I agree that it's obviously bound to reinforce and improve upon the grittiness missing from the original-- because it is in the tradition of musicals... I wonder that no one is thinking of female directors--not even the producers of the new tune-filled version. A woman might have a...

I think Dee Rees would be a better choice for TCP. Spike Lee is known for misogyny and homophobia, which would not relate to a more interesting handling of the subject matter.

The Searchers is restored?! Yes, let's just skip to the 4K!!

I got the Imprint blu, and it's from a pretty transfer, even if not a "fresh" transfer. I find Nancy Kwan delightful and poignant in the role, but Holden is too old for the part and can't even be halfway believable trying, as maybe he was in Sabrina. There are some docs included and, yes...

Got the US blu-ray release of Coming Out and looked at it yesterday. I've always admired the film ( I grew up in Germany) and was very connected to it. I thought it was a strong transfer and enjoyed the short that told about how it was premiering on the very night the wall fell.

"People go to fictional movies to be entertained and not pushed into a political agenda. " said Hubble--only he didn't really because Ray Stark didn't want the film to be clear on the actual division of the characters since it dealt with politics. I'd rather have that clash explained than be...

I was impressed with the reds in particular on the 4K. It looked astonishing in general. I know Disney doesn't care about original soundtracks, but I am constantly dismayed by the German soundtrack which is current!y a 90s version. They used it here. The 38 soundtrack was recorded by famous...

This says it is a review, but it's not coming up as one for me...just a description of what's included.

I agree, it is employed to diminish--still, most stories are soap operas, really, aren't they? The problem is we no longer have much reference to what that means... as there aren't left in "Daytime Drama," Guess there needs to be a more modern way to diminish melodrama.

I never was into this film, despite being an Oklahoman who heard his great-grandmother (paternal side) talk about being in The Rush. But I bought it on the strength of this review thinking I might feel differently after this third viewing.... Well, I do. What a fine film! I believe all the...
