Can't believe no one has mentioned Paul Newman Brick Pollitt - Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Eddie Felson - The Hustler Hud Bannon - Hud Lucas Jackson - Cool Hand Luke Butch Cassidy - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Reggie Dunlop (it's a cult classic!) - Slap Shot Frank Galvin - The Verdict...
I have purchased all of these except for the Dream Factory Musicals (which don't interest me) and will purchase the Gangsters Collection. I shudder to think of how much I have spent on DVDs this year alone!!
About time!!! I doubt Newman will contribute to the DVD though. Apparently his health is declining rapidly and he tends to prefer to keep away from interviews these days. One of my favorite films behind Butch Cassidy.
Was surprised when I purchased Hud on DVD today to discover a completely barebones disc. Not even a theatrical trailer. Very disappointing, especially when Hud is absolutely incredible. However, I think the film in general is very underrated. The cast is brilliant, and it really had an impact...
Great news on the Newman and Cooper boxsets. Brando I have never really cared for. Just a few words on the Newman titles Harper: Love this movie. It has everything and Newman has never been cooler. The dialogue drips with wit and cynacisim from a world-weary P.I who has seen it all. And...
Geez what a coincidence. The Young Philadelphians was on TV the other night. Haven't seen a lot of Vincent Sherman's work, but it is a damn shame he couldn't make it to 100. RIP.
Always wanted Raintree County and A Date With Judy Might pass on Warner's Leading Ladies Collection this time. Am also waiting eagerly for the announcement of the Paul Newman Collection (would have been nice in time for Father's Day - wink wink :D ) I also got my confirmation that The...
Dont forget to make room for the Elizbeth Taylor/Richard Burton Boxset, the Paul Newman collection, and for 2007 - Robert Mitchum and hopefully Natalie Wood Still a fair bit to go And as an aside - there is a rumour of an Olivia de Havilland boxset for her 90th birthday (not sure which...
Don't ask me why - but I am into Paul Newman at the moment. Not a big fan of his early work, but I certainly hope they don't include The Silver Chalice in the boxset Saw it yesterday and it is a deadset shocker. I am surprised Warners actually released it. However I also saw The Rack on the...
As long as studios such as Warners and Fox continue churning out the normal run-of-the-mill DVDs, I am quite happy to wait until I can afford a new player.
This was the movie my girlfriend (now wife) and I saw on our second date so many years ago :) So we decided to invest in Fox's new region 1 two disc set. I had never really known Redford and Newman I only started taking a liking to after The Hustler was released in 1961. My copy of Butch and...
Love classic movies, and many of my purchases have been blind buys that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Was hoping for some recommendations as I am particularly keen to extend my collection. On another front, which DVDs are included in the 6 disc Sophia Loren Screen Goddess collection? I have...
G'day Joe Not sure if this is a help to you mate, but Australia has an Exorcist 3 disc collection including Exorcist I, II and III. Not sure about the extras, but I have had my eye on this for a while now. JB HI FI are one of the cheapest DVD stores in Australia...
Agree completely. I joined this forum about a month ago and I was absolutely blown away when i read the transcript for the chat on February. I couldn't believe a major studio would discuss up and coming DVD releases!!
I guess with many actors, if you tried to make everyone happy, you would end up with a box set out of everybody's price range :laugh: I am sure your titles with be released in the future mate. Happy with this box set (hell I love any classic box set) Well done Warners yet again...
I think 2007 coincides with Cool Hand Luke's 40th anniversary (I could be wrong) and this year is 40 years since Harper. There is your useless bit of information for the day :laugh:
Firstly With the news of MGM/UA titles going to Sony, it is a relief to know that their classics from the 'Big Lion' :) are in safe hands with Warners. 'Phew' I received the Tennessee Williams Collection and I couldn't be happier. Secondly, congratulations to Warners on their brilliant 2006...
I tend to get overly enthusiastic about many releases such as the Tennessee Williams Box Set, The Towering Inferno SE and Warner's Clark Gable box set to be released later this year. I am prepared to pay whatever I have to pay due to extreme impatience :D The Fox Clark Gable Collection Vol 1...
