Cast Your Votes: 4 AFI titles not yet released on BD Well, we're down to 4 remaining AFI Titles not yet released with a 2K or 4K transfer on BD. AFI, of course, is the American Film Institute. As most everyone at HTF knows very well, AFI voted upon the Top 100 films of the 20th Century, back...

If there's anyone out there who wants to sell their BD copy of "Blood and Sand" (1941), please PC me with a fair price. These Amazon Market Sellers are off the hook and out of their minds with their asking price of 245 bucks; as one would almost think that they were offering the actual 35mm...

I am experimenting with a Samsung UN40MU7000FXZA. Again, that's 40 inches. The emphasis on settings should be placed upon the viewings of Blu Ray. Being that we are such an exacting group, in terms of film and how they should look, I am hoping that an HTF member might be able to supply me...

I suspect our movie catalog system keeps changing. Originally, mine was grouped under Best Cinematography, Criterion titles and then there were the rest. Later, it turned into bodies of work. Lean, Kubrick, Chaplin, et al. But as the collection grew, it was back to Best Cinematography; adding...

Cast your votes for any or all of these 8 unreleased BD titles that you would absolutely purchase in a 2K or 4K format. These selections are representative of the remaining films that received 10-12 Oscar nominations; not wins; which have yet to be seen on BD. In total, there are truly 10 titles...

[This is a re-write from a thread I posted last week; which now includes the option to vote]. The American Film Institute's "100 Years...100 Movies" lists of 1998 and 2007 have only 6 remaining titles yet to be released on BD. Each of the 6 are worthy and long overdue; be they created from a 2K...

The American Film Institute's "100 Years...100 Movies" list originated in 1998. For those not aware of this list, it was a heavily voted upon caucus of what was considered to be the 100 greatest American films of the 20th Century. Like all lists, the controversies and discussions began. In 2007...

In everyone's life, there has been a film that had locations which inspired us all. Some films we just can't shake. We must make that pilgrimage. I, myself, long to travel to the Austrian locales used in "The Sound of Music" and The West Coast of Ireland, as seen in "Ryan's Daughter". What...

In the DVD marketplace, ALL of David Lean's 16 films were, at one time or another, made available But in the BD marketplace the stand-alone titles and the 9 title boxed sets have yet to be replenished. Albeit, BD's require additional time, superior transfers and newly drawn up licensing...

Does anyone have any news on the Blu Ray release date of the Brando documentary entitled "Listen To Me Marlon"? For those not familiar with this documentary, the film explores the over 200 some hours of Marlon Brando's private "self-therapy" tape recordings that were used with the permission...

Oliver Stone's "JFK" on BD seems to have 2 different running times. The film, itself, within the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Boxed Set has a running time of 189 minutes. The single disc version has a running time of 205 minutes. Which is the correct running time? Which is the better...

Although one HTF thread on "Ryan's Daughter" rightfully discourages the purchasing of internationally pirated BD's of RD - as Copyright Infringement should never ever be knowingly indulged - I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows what it would take to campaign and canvas the good...

I was wondering if the Marx Brothers have a shot at making it to Blu Ray? I ask this because a long time ago I had read that ALL 5 of their Paramount films ("The Coconuts", "Animal Crackers", "Monkey Business", "Horse Feathers" and "Duck Soup") had suffered from the loss or extinction of their...
