I haven't seen a list either. Where are people getting the information? Will be very pleased to get The Nun's Story though.

The problem nowadays is social media which has provided a voice and platform for those who seem incapable of appreciating the historical context of what they see and studios which are too ready to acquiesce to their misguided complaints.

Unfortunately the U.K. Warner Archive releases use those horrible “eco-friendly” cases, which I end up having to replace with standard cases.

From what I understand, George Feltenstein of the Archive has already said that Warner Bros will mark the MGM centenary. The pre 1986 films which WB owns and are proud of, are now nothing to do with a 'rival' studio.

I thought 2024 was going to be the year when Warner Bros celebrate MGM's 100 year anniversary?

This has been discussed before, either on HTF or somewhere else. That line was never in the completed film as released.

Same with me.

In the U.K. the film was shown on the ABC cinema circuit. I had assumed I saw it in 1959 but I see from Wikipedia that it didn’t open until Christmas 1960 - a full year after its US release. Wikipedia also say Warner Archive have plans to restore the film but there have been delays due to...

What's happened to THE MIRACLE? I saw the film when it was first released in 1959 but apart from a VCR release, which I never had, it seems to have disappeared. As a child I loved the colour, action and epic wide screen spectacle and after so many years would love to see it once again on Blu-ray.

Wow! That's great.

Was DARK VICTORY (1939) made available as a stand-alone release or was it only available as part of the GOLDEN YEAR COLLECTION? I was looking to replace my DVD which I seem to have lost.

Unusual to give such prominence to the composer in an ad. But it is one of Tiomkin's best scores.

With only a few hours to go before knowing the April releases, can’t we all just wait to learn what the titles are, instead of having to wade through yet more lists of what people want? I thought there was a separate thread for that anyway.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a disc with a scratch either but then I don’t examine them under a microscope as some seem to do 😀.

Those three are top of my list to which I'll add Diane and Bhowani Junction.

Yes I’ve been eagerly awaiting Night of the Iguana on Blu-ray. A brilliant film with so much depth to it and a superb performance from Richard Burton.

I was a bit surprised when George Feltenstein said they had 8,000 feature films. I thought it would be higher when you consider WB, MGM, RKO and other titles they own. In fact, I see that Wikipedia says Warner has12,500 feature films in their collection.

Superb podcast. Really enjoyed listening to it. Good to note that WB now have an in-house 65mm scanner which gives hope for films like Ryan’s Daughter and Cheyenne Autumn.

I'm not saying all their releases are bootlegs but I would say that their Warner Bros controlled titles look suspicious. They released THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD on Blu-ray and for example FREAKS and LITTLE WOMEN on DVD. None of these has a Warner Bros logo. The credits don't even say MGM...

Pidax appear to be bootleggers.

It's the same in the UK with many titles stated as being out of stock. A year or so ago that never used to happen. Much to my surprise though, I was able to order Warner's Ivanhoe from Amazon.com

I’m content with my DVD of “Fury“ as well. There are many films I like and have on DVD but which I don’t see an overriding need to upgrade to Blu-ray.

I look forward to that as well. Night of the Iguana is one of my all time favourites. Superb film.

Here in the UK, the BBC showed The Nun's Story in HD yesterday on one of their main TV channels. Surely it's high time Warner released this top-grossing film on Blu-ray. The BBC version inserted the much later than 1959, Warner Bros, Time-Warner logo for some reason and from what I recall, I...

It's mainly the 1950s and early 1960s CinemaScope films which I'd like to see on Blu-ray such as: Knights of the Round Table The Command Drum Beat Green Fire Diane Helen of Troy The King's Thief Land of the Pharaohs The Prodigal Bhowani Junction Tribute to a bad Man The Spirit of St Louis I...
