Tim Burton's 1988 Beetlejuice.

I haven't seen this, nor Brick as mentioned by Mr. Harris, but I've now ordered them both. Thanks for the recommendations.

Thank you once again, Mr. Harris. For some reason I was on the fence about this but your recommendation has pushed me off and I've placed the order (And I'll apologize in advance for invoking your name and recommendation if my wife intercepts the delivery). Very much looking forward to seeing...

Well said. And that's partly what makes this hobby/sport so much fun.

I bought the Blu-Ray edition from Amazon Canada and it includes two discs -- 1st with remastered b&w version and 2nd with the colorized version. Currently $12 on Amazon Canada, which is less than the current U.S.$ price. https://www.amazon.ca/Its-A-Wonderful-Life-Blu-ray/dp/B07WFJ9HWH/ref=sr_1_1

With further apologies for the digression, I've looked for an opportunity to say this for some time. My wife prefers colorized versions (specifically It's a Wonderful Life and Alistair Sims' A Christmas Carol) and while I'm happy to watch those with her I do love the B&W restorations and the...

Thanks for mentioning that. I've now done the same - although free shipping isn't an option for Canadian orders. Ordering from Canada can be a pain and that's why I tend to go with Amazon.com if Amazon Canada doesn't have it available (Amazon.com even clears it through customs, which most U.S...

I've thought at times about dumping some but usually when I look at the film and I remember all the details about why I wanted it in the first place it quickly goes back on the shelf. What I have had some fun with is saving shelf space by consolidating individual titles (non-Criterion or...

Great news. One of the all-time best films and a joy to watch at any time, so seeing it in its spiffed up condition should be a real treat. Amazon Canada lists it as "Currently unavailable" (which is actually a step up for some of the recent classic pre-orders that just weren't listed until they...

Thank you Robert Harris and Matt Hough. I wanted to buy The Barefoot Contess in the current Twilight Time sale but didn't want to buy it alone and couldn't decide on a second film to pick. I too have a homemade DVD duped from a Hollywood Suite broadcast (a Canadian 4-channel movie package) of...

Yes, the UK option looked very good and I pre-ordered it on Aug. 27. Nary a word about it being shipped from Amazon.co.uk since it was released Sept. 3 and they now show it as "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Very disappointing, and it seems to...

Thanks, Mike, I had missed that about Charley Varrick coming from Kino. Something more to look forward to.

And to follow up, after checking out the Powerhouse / Indicator lineup, I've also ordered region free versions of Glenn Ford's The Big Heat (an upgrade) and Albert Finney's Gumshoe (a new film for me). I would have ordered an upgrade version of Walter Matthau's Charley Varrick as well but since...

Thank you again Mr. Harris for alerting me to a new release of a movie I very much enjoy (despite what my wife says) and assuring me that it is worth ordering from overseas. And I haven't even watched the Image Entertainment release I have yet. But based on your recommendation I've placed my...

A Canadian source I used when consolidating many of my discs is: https://www.blankmedia.ca/product-category/blank-media-cases/cbluray/

Amazon Canada finally has it available for pre-order and I'm counting down the day until it is released. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be no no supply or delivery glitches like there was with The Apartment when it was released by Arrow last December. Last year's Shock Blu-ray...

I loved this when I first saw it but was disappointed when I finally saw it again on DVD. As a big fan of Billy Wilder, the high praise and recommendation by Mr. Harris has again spurred me to order something I thought I wouldn't want and gives me high hopes that I'll rediscover why I liked it...

First saw this a few years ago in very poor standard definition on a Canadian classic movie channel and was impressed. After reading this review by Robert Harris, I can't wait to see it in all its glory. Thanks for the great review. Without it I probably would not have ordered it.

I ordered from Amazon U.K. after Amazon.com cancelled my Oct. 11 pre-order. After it was relisted on Amazon.com I expressed my unhappiness in an online chat with customer service and they credited my account with the difference between the $22.99 U.S. price and the converted US$ British pound price.

An issue I would like to raise is why this was a limited edition in the first place. I know Arrow issues many films as limited editions but unless their licence for the film specifies a limit, why bother to issue in artificially limited quantities when it can hurt potential customers and limit...
