Yes, I am finally going to get those. Those and the Vaughn Monroe flick. I'm not much into the singing cowboy thing but I love Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers, Vaughn Monroe did the best version of Ghost Riders In The Sky so I'm getting that movie he's in.

I want to thank Kino for having the sale which ended several days ago. I bought the following. The Killing of Sister Georgie The Ox-Bow Incident The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre Death Rides A Horse For A Few Dollars More The Earthling The Scarlet Letter (guilty pleasure) The Last Command Charly...

Great to see The Lost Weekend is coming out on blu-ray. Thanks Kino!!

Yes, the Cukor film with Constance Bennett, Our Betters and the original Mysterious Island with Lionel Barrymore, directed mostly by Maurice Tourneur + Mary Pickford's Best Actress win for Coquette and The Star Witness with Walter Huston.

Another great horror/western mashup is Curse of The Undead starring Eric Fleming of Rawhide fame though that is with Universal.

I'm hoping to get For a Few Dollars More during the March sale if it is on the sale list. Looking forward to it. I watched KL's Fistful a few weeks ago and it looked great with such an awesome array of extras. I've still got the Far From Heaven dvd when it first came out. I liked it a lot and...

Thanks. I just did. Crossing my fingers. Getting back to the subject at hand, hopefully Kino can get their hands on more of the BFI's restorations.

Good to know about those two. I don't keep up with the podcast. Thanks. I'm aware that Coppola had rights to a shorter 4 hour version of the movie that Universal maintains but the Brownlow restoration was shown 5 times at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival in 2011. If Coppola is...

Yes, I keep waiting and waiting for releases of those. I know they show them occasionally on TCM and they are wonderful films (even Greed in its currently butchered form). It is flabbergasting why they haven't released them on the Warner Archive.

Kevin Brownlow and the BFI's restoration of Abel Gance's Napoleon would also be nice.

Kitty is out on a DVD-R from Universal. Dr. Wassell is definitely one film I want to see. Unusual DeMille pic in that it was a contemporary story about WW2 and not a huge epic. Never saw it and I think I've seen all of the other DeMille sound films.

Another quick purchase for me. I'm going to go into debt with all these great titles coming out.

Another pair of awesome releases. It will be nice to see a nice copy of the Painted Desert which has Clark Gable in a supporting role, his first big break in Hollywood. I see Kept Husbands also has Dorothy Mackaill in it. I thought Warner Bros. owned the whole RKO library so I'm surprised to...

Looking forward to this release. This will probably be a day 1 purchase for me. Many thanks to KL and Paramount for restoring and releasing this.

That one is available as a DVD-R from the Universal Vault Series. I own a copy but have yet to watch it. Thanks for recommending it!

Ah ok. I mistakenly thought that Universal would own the rights since they owned the rights to the '39 Paramount version. One can hope that it will someday see a release on blu-ray or dvd. Thanks for clarifying!

I understand that the 1939 version of Beau Geste will be released on Kino. A nice bonus would be to add the original 1926 silent version of Beau Geste with Ronald Colman as it is extant but hard to get a good copy of. Both were produced at Paramount and I believe Universal owns both of them...

Any chance of Secret of The Incas with Charlton Heston, Robert Young and Thomas Mitchell being released on blu-ray?

One problem I have with Warners is that they should be putting commentaries on their blu-rays. They used to be very good with extras when they first put films out on dvd but have been lagging for a while now. Almost every other company that releases blu-rays now, add a commentary track. C'mon...

Thanks Mike , I've been reading for several years. Thought the time was right to say something. Always enjoy reading other people's comments.

This thread prompted me to join the forum and give my 2 cents. When I was a child growing up in the late 60's and early 70's, we would buy these 8mm samplers from Blackhawk Films that featured clips from old silent films like The Phantom of The Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. From that...
