Interestingly there are a number of great musical numbers on youtube where if the movie were to be released today there would be a warning yet there are no warnings there. People may comment if they are offended or not but youtube makes no judgement. Thank God. They are there simply to make you...

There are a number of movies like this where you just go along with them and they are very entertaining.

Not interested in the black and white films unless they have Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman in it. I'm talking about the great Random Harvest (though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense you just go along for the ride with those two stars.) And Words and Music and Till the Couds Roll By are the...

Definitely want Elvis like Girl Happy. Shelley Fabares's favorite film with him. And as I said some nice MGM Technicolor.

How incredible that you would consider this discussion 'asinine' when it has everything to do with how today's society looks at our cultural past, its suspicions and contempt for what our ancestors and WE consider entertainment. It says aren't we so much better and superior to previous...

I hope there are some nice Technicolor titles.

Well Mr Crawford I don't think we're worse than any other generations. There will always be bigots, people will say offensive things and women will be objectified. Human nature doesn't move forward it just changes. Sometimes for the better and equally for the worse. Just one more thing and it...

Well when we were children we saw these films. And in middle school and High School we read Hemingway and the like without warnings. Did it make us worse people? I highly doubt it. Another example of our snowflake culture. And the fact that the producers of these DVDs think that young people...

You know this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. And coming from Ralph Feines. And you're going to say this is ironic considering my previous post. But there should not be a trigger warning at the beginning of the film no matter how out of place I feel it is. 'Pre-performance trigger warnings for...

I saw it at the Museum of Modern Art. I must have seen a cut version. I liked it very much. But the sex scene appealing to the young crowd of '70 seemed very out of place.

Post deleted.

Barry Lyndon certainly deserves a 4k.

What's Up Doc above my post for a bargain $8.99. Seems like a real bargain.

Wow are they planning a 4k for this very popular film?

Easter Parade is available but there are those who think the colors are not right. It looks to me like it did when I used to go see it decades ago at the Regency in NY which showed very good prints but maybe they are right. I'm no expert on such things. When growing up I believe it was CBS that...

There is something very very wrong with Iger erasing the wonderful Song of the South and James Baskett's wonderful performance on a par with Andrew's in Poppins in the Disney canon from cinema history out of personal hubris and holier than thou arrogance and righteous smugness. Now every film...

How odd there is no mention of Vincente Minnelli on the cover of Bovary.

I guess a bit early for Technicolor unfortunately.

All the good showings happen in LA. I'm referring back to Rio Bravo. Sorry I sometimes get to these things late. There was a time many years ago there were major cinema events also in NY. But they no longer seem to happen here. Of course we have no Chinese Theater here. The last theater that...

Thank you. I heard they only lasted a few years. But we wondered about cds when they came out. And indeed there were cds that occasionally developed digital rot but it seems that was due to a faulty pressing plant that put out cds for DG, Pearl and possibly Hyperion or Harmonia Mundi. The rest...

Aren't there problems with MODs?

'Who wants to see a movie full of dead people.' My sister. From what I've seen the overwhelming majority of young people have no interest in films pre the 70s. They like films not studio bound and grittier. Of course I'm the complete opposite from when I was a small boy. Sometimes I think I'm...

I remember people complaining about a glitch in A Tale of Two Cities. Was that ever fixed? Three Little Words would be wonderful but I'd certainly like to see Royal Wedding.

Well another month waiting for Technicolor.

Not to be rude but how could anybody not like Harlow? Her line to Beery in Dinner at Eight is worth the movie alone. When he talks about getting into politics she says, 'You couldn't get into the men's room at the Astor!' I love that.

Please some great Technicolor.

I think many people today see them as the very out of fashion MGM grand leading lady type and can't get beyond that to see the real depth of their characterizations, their nuanced passion and their sense of humor. I was interested to see that no matter what you think of the man Random Harvest...

Nice to see there is another big Greer Garson fan in this world. She is derided by many people today as is the terrific Norma Shearer. Interested in the choice of Gay Puree for bluray. Have never seen it. Any opinions?

You're right! Dumb me. I must be thinking of the super hero. Also the chorus choreography by I think Eugene Loring is some of the most complex I've ever seen. Because of the complex timing I can never get a handle on it even though a youtuber tries to explain it.

Really there a crowd today excited more for Father's Little Dividend than Yolanda? Well I'm gobsmacked(and why does Tracy with supreme dimwittedeness walk away from the carriage?) It's very pleasant almost made for tv like film except for the cast but people who are interested in blurays from...
