The new Barnes & Noble 50% Off Sale started today and will run through November 28, both online and in stores. As usually happens, Amazon has now dropped all its Criterion titles by 50% as well. I'll be doing my buying at B & N, since I continue to value the experience of shopping in brick and...

As far as I can tell, there are still six Oscar winners for Best Picture not yet available on Blu Ray. Those would be BROADWAY MELODY, CIMARRON, THE GREAT ZIEGFELD, THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA, HAMLET and AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. I have two questions. 1) There is a Region 2 Blu Ray of HAMLET. Can...

I enjoy collecting Oscar nominees, on Blu Ray if available, or otherwise on DVD. However, I find it strange that a number of this year's nominees don't appear to even have a release date. I'm referring specifically to MANK, MA RAINEY and THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7. Does anyone have info on when...

Am I the only one frustrated with HULU? It seems that once they get their claws into a movie they're not letting go. They started streaming PALM SPRINGS in July of 2020, and as far as I can determine the only DVD yet available is from Germany. And now SUMMER OF SOUL appears to be caught in the...

Can anyone recommend a good DVD or Blu Ray of Riefenstahl's OLYMPIA. It's hard to winnow out anything really worth watching. This is apart from the Criterion 100 YEARS, which I can't afford. Any help would be more than welcome.

Going through my list of up-coming Kino BluRays, I find I still have some with no release date beside them. Does anyone have new release info for: GET CRAZY, BRITISH NOIR III, THUNDERBOLT (1929), THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, O.S.S. or CARTOUCHE? As always, many thanks!

I just received the Region 2 Blu-Ray of THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD. I have an All Region Player which has never given me any trouble before, but for some reason it refuses to acknowledge this disc. Instead I get a notice saying MISMATCH BETWEEN DISC AND PLAYER REGION CODES. Before...

Curious as to whether and when we might expect the filming of HAMILTON, currently showing on Disney, to have a DVD and/or Blu-Ray release. Does anyone with an ear to the ground have an answer?

Last night I re-watched Horton Foote's brilliant 1918. It's one of the nine plays that make up his Orphan's Home Cycle, and one of the five which were filmed. Apart from being as close to perfection as any 90 minute viewing experience can be, it's now incredibly timely, as it deals with not...

Okay, Major Outlay Time is now upon us, and so I have the usual question. The Criterion Sale is going on at Barnes and Noble, and I picked up some great holiday gifts and some treats for myself. The two Kino Sales are nice, but I already have all of those that I want. So what other Biggies are...

Let me start by saying I'm quite probably posting this in the wrong place. If so, could someone tell me where to go? (No, not that answer. Where to go in this Forum!) So ... I have a Samsung BD-J5100, purchased in 2017. Of late, Region 2 Blu-Rays purchased thru Amazon U.K. refuse to play. The...

Although I'd love to have the full Criterion 100 YEARS OF OLYMPICS FILMS, such is well beyond my pocketbook. Does anyone have a clue as to how to obtain only the OLYMPIA disc on Blu-Ray? All other versions seem to have major flaws. Not terribly hopeful but crossing my fingers nevertheless ...

A brand new Blu-Ray copy of WONDERSTRUCK keeps posting a big warning at about the 20 minute mark. It says "Audio track contains a Cinavia Code indicating that it is an unauthorized copy of professionally-produced content". Googling this for help, I see that it's happening on quite a few...

Does anyone have a clue as to when either SUSPICION, the Alfred Hitchcock co-produced series, or THE THIN MAN, with Peter Lawford and Phyllis Kirk, might be coming to DVD? I know that there's a very fuzzy Public Domain version of SUSPICION: Season One out there, but I gather it's all but...

Anyone have a clue as to when the next Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale might be? And the same question in re the next Warner Archive 4 for $44 Sale.

Just looking through the few remaining musicals that I only have on VHS, and wondering if anyone has a clue as to whether we might see any of these turning up in decent condition on DVD or DVDr in 2018. THE FRENCH LINE / SECOND FIDDLE...

I just purchased the STRANGER THINGS Season One DVD/Blu-Ray set at Target, and the old VHS box design is a real gem. Also, having now watched the 1st Episode, it appears the series is as good as I'd heard. HOWEVER! There's about a five minute preview at the start of Disc One that appears...

Looking for some help here. Apparently, the horror flic MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN is an Easter Egg on SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. Can anyone help me find it? I'm drawing a total blank, and it sounds like a good viewing choice for October, Many thanks in advance, Poder

I remain puzzled as to why some highly rated new TV series don't seem to have any DVD release dates. Does anyone have a clue in regards to A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS: Season One? And the same question applies to THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE. Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

My Blu-ray copy of THE PARADINE CASE just arrived, and I now seem to have all his American films in this format, with the exception of STAGE FRIGHT and UNDER CAPRICORN. Does any knowledgeable person out there know when or if these might be released, or if there's a good Non-Region 1 version...

This may have been covered elsewhere, and if so I apologize. And having said that, I can't seem to find any easy way to purchase the following on either DVD or Blu-Ray: 1) AMERICAN CRIME (Seasons One and Two) 2) MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE (Season Two) I did, after much...

Here's a little question for the Forum Forces That Be: Do you think it might make sense to delete some of the oldest posts that are no longer relevant? Two examples that come immediately to mind are the WEEK-END VIEWINGS list and the LOWEST BLU-RAY PRICES list. Does anyone really want to see...

Without getting anywhere near a Forbidden Political post, can anyone add more films to my short list below of films that can be taken two very different ways, depending on whether you tend to be a Rightie or a Leftie? PATTON HIGH NOON INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (The original, of course)...

Are there any plans to release THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE on DVD and/or Blu-Ray? (I already made the mistake of buying what I thought was the authorized Season One. Needless to say, perhaps, but I was scammed and had to change my Credit Card Number.) This is one I've really been looking forward...

Does anyone have any ideas on when (or whether) THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE Season One will be released on DVD and/or Blu-Ray? I ordered this through what looked like a legit CBS website at the beginning of December, and I'm now pretty sure I was scammed. I can bite the lose of the money I laid...

I watched the Louis Malle thriller ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS last night, and enjoyed it immensely. I do have one question, however. (Spoiler alert) The plot set-up includes a rope left hanging by a hook from an upper story railing. However, part way through we see this same rope and hook on the...

This has already been posted in the DVD section, but it bears repeating here. The WB Archive Collection is having a ONE DAY ONLY SALE today. And yes, there ARE Blu-Rays included. Given how infrequently these sales now occur, it's well worth checking out.

Does anyone know of a decent Other Region release of WHEN MY BABY SMILES AT ME? As far as I can find, about the only thing out there is a pirated DVD that looks like a fifth generation VHS copy with a bad case of the shakes. It's hardly a classic, I'll admit, but Dan Dailey did score his only...

I know this has been covered many times, but I can't find the thread. If anyone can point me to it, I'll re-enter this question. Anyway, here goes: Looking through my Disney Collection, the following appear to only be available on DVD: DISNEY'S AMERICAN LEGENDS THE BLACK CAULDRON THE BRAVE...
