I love RAGTIME. It's a wonderful pastiche of turn-of-the-century New York City (and parts of Westchester County). The novel was more judicious in how it allotted its time to the many sub-plots, while the film zeroes in on one in particular (Coalhouse Walker's pursuit of justice) in the second...

and...DRAGONSLAYER

I agree with you wholeheartedly about HATARI!, which is full of anomalies. Looks like crap.

Personally, I await what is still my fave Lewis solo, THE DISORDERLY ORDERLY, which has some of the best gags director Frank Tashlin ever created.

Well, that Paramount is finally releasing some catalog titles that have not been available on Blu-ray...titles that have been in hundreds of wish lists for ever, is a fine enough and very welcome gesture, even if many of them are MOD. Titles such as AIRPLANE! I'm not sure would benefit greatly...

Josh, if it was really that "simple," I wouldn't have posted what I did. It also has to do with helmsmanship at the studios' home entertainment divisions, meaning whether people with a genuine interest in film history and availability, such as George Feltenstein at WAC demonstrates daily, have a...

And, rather than (or at least, in addition to) rereleases (even if 4K) of existing Blu-rays, we surely could use first-time Blus of (among many others, depending on personal preference): Atlantic City Bad News Bears Black Sunday (1976) Breakdown Bridges At Toko-Ri Bringing Up the Dead Catch-22...

I surely hope that they dig deeper into their catalog than any of these nine titles. Hell, they're giving Australia SORRY, WRONG NUMBER, I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE, WATERLOO and ORDINARY PEOPLE, and we're only getting WAR OF THE WORLDS here because Criterion licensed it from them.

Only 80? ;)

The ones I have put in bold are already easily available from UK and other Euro countries. ORDINARY PEOPLE has been announced in Australia.

I can understand why Paramount's high-profile titles might get 4K restorations. But there are hundreds of somewhat less lauded but still very desirable films in their vaults that should see the light of day on Blu-ray. This studio stubbornly refused to even consider releasing its catalog to the...

Considering that price point is about 40% lower than what we were paying for laserdisc (and using 1990's dollars), and will be offering exponentially better image quality, I would say it's a friggin' bargain.

No, sir...you are not supposed to do anything I suggest or that anyone else here suggests. Your budget and space limitations are your own, as are your choices. I was not directing my sympathy comment toward you specifically. Were you to read back through all threads like this on HTF or other...

The three titles I changed to bold from your list have been available from Europe for a long time, as have: RAGTIME, ATLANTIC CITY, THE DEAD ZONE, THE ELEPHANT MAN, KING KONG (1976), and others. I'm afraid I have run out of sympathy for those who complain that they can't get these movies in the...

I was. I won't.

THE CONFORMIST is available in Region 1: https://www.amazon.com/Conformist-Blu-ray-Jean-Louis-Trintignant/dp/B00N5ND6NW I certainly agree with you insofar as PARALLAX VIEW and CATCH-22 go.

Seems to me it is short ALL of the Australian titles. Glad to see the studio is getting back to catalog, but Please, Mr. Buchi, release the titles we have been clamoring for that have never been on Blu. When you say in your press release, "Several titles arriving on Blu-ray for the first time...
