    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    Given that April 17 is MGM's 100th anniversary, I expect WAC's April slate to be all MGM films, much like they had an all Warner slate last April for Warner's 100th (at least, I have some recollection that George Feltenstein had indicated at one point that he wanted to celebrate MGM's 100th)...

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    I don't know about Criterion, but I can almost guarantee that Ryan's Daughter will NOT be coming from WHV. As far as I can tell, WHV has not had any new-to-blu debuts of any catalog titles since about 2015-2016 (I specifically mean movies, not TV shows or theatrical Shorts, which they have done...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    While I haven't really been listening to the podcasts (so take what I say with a grain of salt), I could have sworn I read in somebody's summary on the other forum that George said there would be more movies announced for March. Was I surprised to hear that? Certainly. With the 10 film...

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary

    Since this seems as good a place as any to mention it, Sony will apparently be releasing the 1933 pre-Code film Cocktail Hour on (pressed) Blu-ray as part of their MOD line on March 19 (I found this out on Blu-ray.com).

    Warner Bros Archive Wish List 2022 and Beyond!!

    With 2024 being Fred Astaire's 125th birthday, I hope that we get not only Three Little Words, but one or two more of his films from Warner's library (in addition to Kino's upcoming release of Let's Dance).

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Finally!! Not only are they releasing a movie I want (The Roaring Twenties) for the first time since their late 2022 release of Arsenic And Old Lace, but they're releasing it on 4K to boot! I'm definitely getting that one!!

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    Well, I'm certainly waiting and hoping for Three Little Words to come soon. I'm almost certain that, since MGM's 100th is April 17, April's release slate will be all MGM films (but hopefully Three Little Words comes out much sooner than that). I may be one of the few people hoping for it, but...

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    I've been waiting a loooooooong time for this one (and that was just for DVD, never mind Blu-ray)! It might be lesser Fred Astaire, but I still like it, and look forward to finally having it on disc!!

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    WAC has been having some unspecified production problems the last few months that have delayed a number of their releases by about a month. Some of the titles they released yesterday were originally announced as being September releases (that ended up getting delayed), and there are a few...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    It seems like it should be any day now. Most would have guessed last week, but I think there may have been some mention of announcing both November and December titles soon. I would expect that to be the reason for the delay, as it is harder sometimes to confirm titles that are slightly...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    I could have sworn that it was mentioned in one of the podcasts from the last few months that there will be December releases this year. At this point, the big question is going to be how many. From my own observations, WAC has (since April) changed up how they are releasing everything. It...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Well, one of these days, Criterion will decide that they want my money again. Not one title from them this year that has appealed to me. I'm still waiting for more Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, and Cary Grant. Seriously, what happened on the Cary Grant front? I think this is the first year...

    Still, I'll go on record as wanting to give Dance Fools Dance a shot (in the hopes that Dancing Lady will also come soon) and I look forward to the second volume of Looney Tunes!

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    To be honest, I'm not as surprised as others are about the lack of horror titles. Quite frankly, I kind of expected that. I've been watching, and, for the most part, WAC has (since April) been pretty consistently releasing everything on the last Tuesday of the month (which, for October, falls...

    I think that you're thinking of Dancing Lady from 1933, not Dance Fools Dance, which is what was announced.

    Sony's Missing Columbia Titles.

    These are some of the main titles I'm still waiting for U.S. releases on Blu-ray (at the bare minimum) from Sony: You Were Never Lovelier (1942) It Had To Be You (1947) Tight Spot (1955) Pennies From Heaven (1936) Three For The Show (1955) Plus there are a few Humphrey Bogart films (and I...

    WAC announcements on FB! So far, we've got Before Night Falls (2000), Cats Don't Dance (1997), Christopher Strong (1933), Palmetto (1998), Saratoga (1937) and Westward The Women (1951)!

    Warner Bros Archive Wish List 2022 and Beyond!!

    NO. I'm sorry, but, as much as I want the Astaire and Rogers films (and I do, as they're my most-wanted films on Blu-ray), I do NOT want them released as a box set, ESPECIALLY from Criterion! Most box sets start getting out of my price range (especially Criterion's), which means I have to wait...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Roman Holiday (1953) (4k UHD Combo)

    I have mixed feelings about this release. On the positive side: Roman Holiday on 4K!!! More Audrey Hepburn on 4K!! On the negative side: It's from Paramount. Considering how inconsistent their 4K quality has been, in between their transfers and their encoding, I'm more inclined to wait for...

    Meet John Doe (1941) coming to 4K UHD/Blu-ray from ClassicFlix!

    For those who haven't seen the latest ClassicFlix newsletter yet, they are in the process of starting a new 4K restoration on the film, with hopes of releasing it in the fall! As in, now we can stop debating in the WAC thread and other places about it, as I can't see it getting treated better...

    As for my opinion of this group of titles, I'm thrilled to see The Long, Long Trailer finally coming, and I'm also glad to see more Clark Gable finally coming (especially in time for his/my birthday)! It's up in the air yet whether I might try Our Dancing Daughters or not, but I'm glad to see...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    With all due respect, I don't think that listing for Captain Blood is legitimate (yet). It was noted that the page said "Warner Home Video." That's the retail arm of Warner Brothers (as opposed to WAC, which is their online-only MOD division). Warner Home Video hasn't debuted any catalog...

    White Christmas 4K Possibility?

    2024 really seems like the most likely time that this movie will get released on 4K, in time for its 70th anniversary. I would be surprised to see it released any sooner, short of being licensed out. And as far as being licensed out goes, unless the Insider lied to me, Kino does NOT have it as...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    I seriously, seriously doubt that the situation is what you're making it out to be. I think the more likely reason is that WAC hasn't grown enough to tackle those films yet. When discussing the possibility of WAC doing 4K (not on this podcast, but on a previous one), George had stated that...

    Home Theater United Episode 39 - What's Cooking at Warner Archive Collection with Mr. George Feltenstein

    I'd sooner say that it's more likely because 2024 would be the 65th anniversary of North By Northwest (given how much the studios seem to rely on releasing films during their anniversary years).

    Got questions for Mr George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive Collection? Ask em here!

    There are two main questions that I would like to ask: 1) On the WHV front, are there any other musicals from the golden age of Hollywood in the works for release on UHD? 2) On the WAC front (and if I can only have one question answered, this is the one that I would like to know about), are they...

    2022-2024 Blu-ray, 4K Projects?

    I wish White Christmas was available as well, but the reality is that 2022 is the 80th anniversary for Holiday Inn, and White Christmas is likely being held back for its 70th anniversary in 2024. I would be surprised to see it happen earlier unless its been licensed out. I know Kino doesn't...

    Warner Archive, Wave Your Wand and Bring Back 1935!

    Assuming, of course, that Captain Blood wasn't licensed out to Criterion (which has long been rumored to be the case), since they've been known to take a long time in releasing stuff.
