Joe, Your enthusiasm for this film always makes me smile. Is it me or has classic film releases slowed down considerably from Warner? I continue to have hope they will re-release this classic again with the ORIGINAL soundtrack. Let them spend countless dollars remixing if they feel it is...

Band footage is not on the new set. They couldn't get the clearance, though Warner did try. Read this thread for more info on the set. Member BRush helped put the set together and has a lot of info. Woodstock Directors Cut for Blu-Ray - SH Forums

I wonder how Capote looks. I recall the DVD transfer being brutal.

I would show The Final Cut. It is intended to be the 'definitive' version of the film. Reading carefully, it sounds like everyone in the family wants to see this film after seeing that it ranked as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. So like it or hate it...they asked for it!

They gave no 'warning'. Or should we listen to every rumor as fact? I'm sick of this constant 'it's the consumer's own fault' excuses here. It don't jive, just like the 'you shouldn't park outside if you don't want your car stolen' or the 'you shouldn't walk outside after midnight if you...

Mr. Harris, any comments on the following movies? Do you think they should also be in your list? Rio Bravo Jailhouse Rock Viva Las Vegas Children of Men

What about films like Gone with the Wind, or Wizard of Oz? Do those ultra resolution results have high enough resolutions to be printed satisfactorily to film?

Why should Searchers be output to 65 mm? The VistaVision Negative isn't that big anyways, or is it?? I agree they should do a restoration to film. Did they do the restorations of Gone With the Wind or Wizard of Oz to film or only digital?

But The Searchers wasn't a 3-strip production, but they used the ultrahigh resolution process. So I'm thinking ultrahigh resolution process may not be limited to 3-strip Technicolor films. Edit: Looks Joel answered it better (see below) Is North By Northwest in better/worse shape than...

In the recent Warner chat, it was mentioned that an HD North By Northwest would be targeted for a 2009 date for its 50th anniversary. I have read that the film sources are in pretty bad shape. What could be done to bring this film back to its former glory? Do separation masters exist so an ultra...

I hope not! That's a long wait for another beautiful ultra-resolution presentation. I am still hoping An American In Paris is coming. Nothing mentioned on that one.

Anyone know what Warner's next Ultra-Resolution title will be? The last one was The Searchers I believe. I was disappointed by the response for a National Velvet reissue. Just because its selling well doesn't mean it can't look alot better! :)

I'm glad they said they are trying to fix the Camelot audio issue. I really look forward to the release. Crazy, but this is one of my favorites. lol

It doesn't matter anymore who or doesn't have the lead. Both formats are here for the long haul. They are too entrenched to abandon one or the other. Think how that would upset PS3 and XBOX360 owners. Everyone will eventually just buy a dual player. That's what I'll be doing.

Awesome! The Getaway is a favorite of mine.

This is what R Harris thought of the Legacy Edition: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=220441 I would think the HD would be even better.

Format wars suck. Supporters of both sides are frustrated.

Is LG know as an excellent manufacturer of DVD players? Just wondering. I hope it will be a good quality player.

The should give her one anyways. They gave Garbo one, and she never showed up.

Surprised Hello, Frisco, Hello isn't in the set. That movie contains probably her signature song, You'll Never know. Really glad On The Avenue is there...has a great Berlin soundtrack. This is a very welcome and anticipated collection!

I don't think they did a new transfer of Serenity. I believe they re-compressed it using a more efficient version of VC-1.

I don't think you can expect much better with 'The Christmas Story'. I mean the DVD doesn't look reference, so why should the HD-DVD? Probably accurate to the source. Only the very very few titles get the totally cleaned up 'Loewry' style treatment ala Cinderella or Bambi or Casablanca.

I would think the answer would be no. Those interlaced masters would need completely new transfers. How long do new transfers usually take? Anyone know?

Where is the 'real' Robby? Is it on display somewhere?

Hey Joe, do you know if they ever found the missing scoring tapes for the soundtrack? Can a faithful remix be done properly? My guess is Warner won't want to use the original soundtrack. They always seem to remix the surround soundtracks of its classics. My guess is this will make an appearance...

OK, who knows for sure... Did Julie Andrews, Richard Burton and Robert Goulet all decline a role in Camelot? If so, sounds like a coordinated effort to get back at Jack Warner. OK scratch Andrews, just read Joe Caps' post!

I thought they had great chemistry!

No argument from me! A new release would be very welcome. And I liked the casting choices (except Lancelot). Redgrave is sexier than Andrews and I think the part calls for that.

Was it reasonable to expect the format would catch on in a huge way by now anyways? I think as broadcast moves more and more into HD people will start to want their DVDs to be HD. Which means HD-DVD or BR. I mean HD will eventually be the standard so its going to happen eventually.
