    WB Film Noir, Volume 4

    Any news on a date for this? I haven't bought either Volumes 2 or 3, but Volume 1 was stellar and I'll probably pick up 3 this week when I get paid.

    Ace In The Hole restoration - DVD Release on 07-17-07 See Post #66

    In layman's terms, I would flip a bitch were this to happen. Been wanting to see that one forever.

    Criterion's Eclipse line

    Charles H; In Ebert's "Great Movies" review of Chimes at Midnight, he mentioned that a DVD was being prepared for 2007 release, though I don't know whom by. I'm eagerly waiting it, though.

    Is Sony reissuing "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Bridge on the River Kwai"?

    I'd love for a reissue of Kwai that fixes the obnoxious overlong layer change.

    Criterion's Eclipse line

    Excellent; outside of Army of Shadows (another Rialto pic I'm awaiting word from Criterion on), that's the Melville I most want to see.

    Criterion's Eclipse line

    I hope they can release more of Jean-Pierre Melville's stuff; the only films of his on DVD are the three Criterions and Un Flic.

    The Third Man: OOP?

    This is my second-favorite film so I'll certainly buy this.

    Kenneth Branagh's HAMLET -- the ultimate, merged, when-oh-when thread

    Just posting to say that we watched a few scenes from this in my English class, as well as some from the Gibson version and the BBC series, in order to compare different interpretations of the text. I saw the ending from this one, and, well, wow. I'd already wanted to see this, but now I'm...

    Warners to release 200 new classic titles in 2007

    I'm pretty sure Greed will be coming out, I read it a while back in one of those chats (I think).

    Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition from Lionsgate on 10/24

    Only one question: Does this have English subtitles?

    SHOCKED: Movies that don't have special editions yet

    I'll second 12 Angry Men.

    The Conformist from Paramount Dec 5th

    Oh hell yes.

    Most desired Criterion release

    Oh, I almost forgot: The Conformist.
  20. AlexNoir

    Most desired Criterion release

    I'll second 12 Angry Men...on the very short list of my favorite movies, the current DVD is a disappointment. Fortunately, the picture and audio are both good, which is most important, but no subtitles or extras is frustrating.

    double indemnity

    It took me four stores to find it, but I wasn't gonna quit till I did. I've been waiting years for this movie. Gonna watch it tonight, I can't wait.

    Fistfull of dollars/for a few dollars more special editions---When?

    I'd settle for an SE release of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly that didn't force us to watch the two reinstated Italian scenes with the godawful dubbing. Ever since I saw the pristine transfer of that DVD, I can't go back to the regular DVD, which has the superior cut. Terrible decision to have...

    Best 32" CRT HDTV?

    I'm a senior in high school so I still live with my parents, and I'm looking for a good TV for my room so that I can watch my movies without outside distractions. 32" seems like a good size, but I don't know much about brands. From what experience I do have, I know that I want: -16:9...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Enemy of the State (Extended Unrated) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    I've always thought this movie was underrated...granted, it's the absolute worst offender of the "enhance!" satellite camera trickery and such, but it has a clever plot, excellent chase sequences, and strong lead acting from three talented thespians (yes, I like Will Smith...so sue me!).

    New Apocalypse Now DVD set this year?

    Where did it say it won't be 2.35?

    Double Indemnity 2 disc from Universal in August

    They better rectify the mistake of not having subtitles as well, speaking of the R2.

    Double Indemnity 2 disc from Universal in August

    I hope they don't stick with the same brownish-type color for the box of this one. Yes, shallow, I know...but they should stick with the classy-looking poster that the crappy Image DVD offered, on black.

    Chinatown SE?

    Rich - that's one of my biggest complaints about current period pieces. They seem to bash the viewer in the head with the fact that they're not set in the present. One of the reasons I liked Good Night and Good Luck so much is that it didn't make me feel like I was watching a movie set in the...

    Chinatown SE?

    Maybe my memory's hazy, I don't remember it looking that good. :b

    Chinatown SE?

    I disagree on Chinatown's transfer. It's not Double Indemnity bad (christ, that movie needs a proper DVD release, this is getting ridiculous), but it does seem somewhat soft and grainy and there seems to a be a slight red hue that makes everybody look sunburned. But I'm no technophile.
