I second the wish for You Were Never Lovelier. I've actually managed to end up with three copies of You'll Never Get Rich on disc already! I, too, have the Twilight Time blu. It's also included on blu in the Mill Creek "Rita Hayworth: The Ultimate Collection." And I have it on DVD in another...
I ended up sitting this one out. I feel like I've been overspending a bit lately, plus the two titles as the very top of my want list are still upcoming: To Die For and All That Money Can Buy. And subscribing to the Criterion Channel has tended to trim my Criterion want list a bit.
I do have...
I have 16 of the Treasures tins. I know there are a lot I don't have. How many were issued altogether?
The ones I most regret not picking up when they were new are Chronological Donald Volumes 3 and 4 -- I have 1 and 2. I've occasionally searched for used copies but couldn't quite bring...
That's interesting because the SU/Sheldon Harnick association set off some bells in my brain. I went to Syracuse University myself but a little later. In December 1983 I attended an SU Drama Department production of Worlds To Win!, which was a revue of Sheldon Harnick's songs. I remember...
Some of Groucho's stuff that lives permanently and most prominently in my brain is of this flavor. Probably because he was talking directly to me!
There's no reason you folks can't go to the lobby until this thing blows over...

My preorder from Amazon that I placed on September 5th has finally shipped and is supposed to arrive today.
I know, I know -- I should have preordered directly from ClassicFlix and I would have had it long ago and better supported the label. The free shipping and pre-order price guarantee from...
Thanks for the review. This is a favorite movie of mine and I already picked up this Arrow release via pre-order, but I'll be keeping my previously acquired Imprint edition as well for the completely disjoint set of special features. (I've been hanging onto my old DVD too, but think I'll...
Praise for this release is in from the always-worth-reading Glenn Erickson (CineSavant). I can't wait to get my copy.

This might change depending on my mood, but at this moment I'll say my top 5 are:
1. Vertigo
2. Shadow of a Doubt
3. Notorious
4. The Birds
5. Rear Window
I don't personally own it, but the Kino blu-ray of Murder! claims to include Mary (an up-res transfer) as an extra.

I've probably related this story on some other thread on this board in the past, so please skip and forgive this post if it sounds familiar or seems too tangential to these releases. But THE COCOANUTS always makes me think of the days before home video when these films required some effort and...
The Marx Brothers were my entrée into the world of classic movies; I became a fanatic before I was a teenager. I essentially agree with all of this, Ron. I am one who also prefers the early Paramounts to the later efforts -- although A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is undeniably much slicker and pretty...
I was thinking the same thing. I have a small repro of that Cocoanuts poster hanging in my TV room, and I used to have a large repro of that Animal Crackers poster (wonder where I mislaid that?).
I always have trouble prioritizing and trimming my wish list for these sales to align with budget (the Kino Lorber sales too). I was gonna limit myself to 3 titles but couldn't resist these 4. Thanks to $30 worth of Criterion Channel subscriber gift certificates the bite was not too bad. After...
My Amazon pre-order just shipped as well, but it's not due to arrive until Thursday for me. I saw a George Eastman print at Capitolfest a dozen years back and am looking forward to revisiting it with this restoration. A good film with an impressive climax.
I had a similar reaction to Dial. I had very low expectations given the lukewarm (at best) reviews, but when I saw it (in the theater), I loved it. I need to see it again to solidify my feelings, but I might even go so far as to say it's now my favorite of the four sequels.
Because I rewatched...
Through force of will I trimmed my cart down to just over the free shipping threshold. On my snail's-pace quest to eventually replace all my old non-anamorphic DVDs (yeah, I still have a bunch), The Great Train Robbery is the latest to get an upgrade.

Thanks for the heads-up, particularly on Better Off Ted. I started rewatching it recently (for I think the third time -- love that show -- wish it had lasted longer). Guess I better hurry through the remaining episodes.
I had to laugh at this because that first closeup literally took my breath away a little the first time I saw Follow Thru. I just saw it again at Capitolfest in Rome, NY a couple weeks ago. I remembered that first reaction (at an earlier Capitolfest screening I think?), so I braced myself for...
I sampled disc 1 a bit today. Love it! What a treasure trove!
Although individual shorts are not accessible through the menu, there are chapter stops at the front of each short. Each menu-accessible chapter has an intro and eight shorts (same number as a Panoram reel -- in fact some chapters...

I have the Coming Home blu-ray Kino Lorber put out in 2014. It's still available on their site. (You have a YES for it but no company listed as I write this).
Thanks so much for compiling this. I'm using it to add tags in my DVD Profiler collection for Best Picture nominees and winners.
One nitpick error that might help searchers/search engines if it is corrected: the correct spelling is Doctor Dolittle, not Doctor Doolittle. (Honestly, I would have...
I dunno -- I think the features are fairly unchanged. BTW, I've loved those Ma and Pa Kettle movies since I was a kid and they were weekend TV staples. (On some NYC station I think? I seem to remember watching them at my grandfather's farm in southwestern Connecticut where he got NY stations...
Thanks for finding that. I guess you can interpret that statement that way. I interpreted it to mean you can't fast forward live TV distinct from Cloud DVR recordings, though that's a statement so obvious that it's not worth saying I suppose. So maybe you're right.
I can fast forward the...
