Same here. I ordered it last week; as of Monday morning, it stated delivery in March, yet an hour later it was revised to Tuesday, when it was indeed delivered.

Funny story about THE SPOILERS. I saw at the 1983 (I think) Cinecon in Chicago, which included many rare and seldom-seen films as usual. IIRC, THE SPOILERS came from UCLA, a nice 35mm print, and there was discussion about the reasons behind its rarity. Oddly enough, I have only one memory of it...

It's true that the 1923 HUNCHBACK doesn't survive in 35mm...all that's left comes from 16mm Show-At-Home prints. I'm delighted to see so many silents in the batch, though...these must include some of the titles that Universal did restore recently. I think they include THE GOOSE WOMAN and...

So many possibilities. I'm particularly hoping for a bunch of '30s Paramount WC Fields and Mae West titles that have long been missing in action.

There was a fellow from UCLA who's already said that a Warners Bluray for WAX MUSEUM is in the works! https://twitter.com/UCLAFTVArc.../status/1182053578833219585

Fun thread. To each his own, I guess. I love Katharine and will watch her in anything....and my #1 favorite is Marlene. That's primarily because of her von Sternberg films, which are my absolute favorites of any films, in which Marlene plays an important part of the decor. :) For some reason...

Offhand, I think the only one I can't stand is Mickey Rooney, at any age.

Same here. Looks like I jinxed my record of prompt delivery from Amazon - they emailed yesterday to give me a ridiculous delivery estimate (late October). Maybe I'll try Deep Discount again.

Makes no sense to me either. I got THIN MAN, FOOTLIGHT, and GASLIGHT all within a day or two of release. Unless something changes with my future orders, I'll just keep ordering from Amazon...

I hadn't even heard of it before. Onto the list it goes...

Hmm, strange. I preordered THIN MAN, FOOTLIGHT PARADE, and GASLIGHT from Amazon, and got all of them within 2-3 days of issue (if not sooner - I don't keep track of it). Maybe Amazon just likes me. :D

I preordered from Amazon and got it several days ago. I have Amazon Prime and they always ship quickly - are those of you who are getting slow shipping on Prime? If not, I'm thinking maybe that's the difference.

Curious about the difference in projected nitrate vs safety prints, I once asked Audrey Kupferberg from the AFI about it (~ 35 years ago). She said that there wasn't a difference when it was a really good, properly made safety print. This is in no way meant to disagree with Robert; perhaps she...

Well, I wouldn't call it a "nice print". It has lengthy sections of serious deterioration, sadly in the scenes that would be most impressive (the ball, for example). They're not just ordinary nitrate decomp, but strange in that they flip back and forth to give the impression of a negative...

There aren't 10 that would interest me, but I would buy these: Marie Antoinette New Moon Rosalie White Cliffs of Dover Of the four, MARIE is the one I'd want most.

That's a shame about STEAMBOAT BILL. Back in the day, I had a superb 16mm print from Blackhawk Films; it was perhaps their highest quality release, and one of the best 16mm silent prints I've ever seen.

OK, I'll play...... The Hound kills the Mountain in Cleganebowl. Arya takes his face, then dispatches Cersei. Makes sense since the Mountain is one of the few who can approach Cersei.

And she's delightful, along with Claudette Colbert, in THE SMILING LIEUTENANT.

One of my ten favorite films. If you've never seen it, buy it...you've been missing out.

I can't find the thread from a few days ago that discussed the French blu-ray of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (Universal 1928), so I'll create a new one. I received Flicker Alley's DER HUND VON BASKERVILLE (1929) today, and inside is a free 2019 calendar from Flicker. It includes a nice still for each...

That would be great, but unfortunately there's a rights problem holding up the silent version. I haven't heard the details, but since Paramount still owns their own silent films (not Universal), it's probably related to story rights.

Oh yes, I agree and know it well. Gorgeously photographed indeed. I liked it so much that I had a 16mm print back in the day. I've not seen it in years, and a good blu-ray would certainly be reason to revisit it.

Other than the three silents listed, I believe the only other one that survives is THE RESCUE, minus a reel. The others were junked thanks to Mrs Goldwyn (Frances Howard).

KID BROTHER and DETOUR for me too. I love KB (my favorite Lloyd) and have never seen DETOUR.

More Paramount silents!

If those caps are accurate, the new version has a strong magenta cast.

Yes, that's correct. Also, Fox now owns STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE. It was restored not so long ago, and has appeared (in gorgeous quality) on TCM once or twice.

And that's the importance of being Ernst. :)

Nice list. Unfortunately, THE CAT CREEPS (1930) is lost. There are any number of things I'd hope for; most, I suppose, were produced by Paramount (1930s titles). In addition to the Fields and Mae West films, I'd like more Lubitsch, DeMille, etc. I'm hoping that DESIRE is on the list; seems like...

And I thought I was the only one! I never fall asleep during movies - but I do on HOFFMAN. I've tried twice, and couldn't get past the halfway point either time. Yes, it's beautiful, but somehow it just doesn't hold my attention.
