Captain Sindbad-would love more stuff with Guy Williams. his screen test interview from LiS is the stuff of man crush. I'll bet even Steve McQueen saw Guy and said he wished he could break off some of that cool for himself. Guy had to have taught Rod Serling how to hold smoke like a cool man. If you put Guy Williams in the same room as Fronie you'd scream fraud at the Happy Days fella. And.... wait, there's others.

Kansas City Bomber

She

Skyjacked -love these kinds of movies. Chuck chewing scenery gold, I hope.

House Of Dark Shadows-I already have this. But maybe they should do a 2 movie set for the ones who missed it.

Can't put Under the Rainbow with Carrie and Chevy. Or Cracking Up with Jerry Lewis. Or Last Dinosaur with Have Gun Will TRavel guy... this is hard to do....

 

[RICK BOND]

SHE (1965) Hammer ......That's the only one I want. Never seen any of those other titles. I could make a WAY better list than that !

 

[JohnMor]

None for me. I might be tempted to pick up Marie Antoinette if there were a good sale price.

I don't think the point was to make a wish list, but rather a random sampling of titles to see what type of films most people would prefer.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I honestly would not purchase any of the titles on that list at this time.

I would not be opposed to renting some of them as I haven't seen any on the list, but I'm trying to avoid blind buys as much as possible these days.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

I'd be in for:

Marie Antoinette
Mrs. Parkington
The White Cliffs of Dover

 

[Thomas T]

Thank you, Nick! Exactly! As I said the list was quite arbitrary and not much thought was put into it and off the top of my head using some oldies that some people say Warners should release and some less prestigious titles that have their fan base.

 

[Thomas T]

I'd be in for:

Marie Antoinette
Mrs. Parkington
The White Cliffs of Dover

Hmmm ..... I should have put more Elizabeth Taylor titles on the list

 

[Joel Arndt]

And it's interesting to see how the votes break down. With a few exceptions (and no surprise) there are two camps represented, one for the older titles (30s-40s) vs. the other for the newer titles (60s-70s). Of course, with "newer" being a relative term here considering the most recently released title listed is 47 years old.

I'm going to bicker and whine about that list, it's not fit for purpose. I only want one title on it, She (1965). No Warner Archive releases for me so far this year, let's see what the second half of 2019 brings (if only they'd ask me, I'd mark their card).

I agree. The only title that interests me in that list is also SHE, which I would buy in a heartbeat. Though unlike Alan, I have bought two Warner Archive titles so far this year, specifically SUMMER STOCK, and GASLIGHT, as I collect pre-1953 MGM films on Blu, even if neither of these are my absolute favorites.

 

[AnthonyClarke]

I'd buy 'The Student Prince' starring that fabulous tenor Edmund Purdom.

 

[Joel Arndt]

I'd buy 'The Student Prince' starring that fabulous tenor Edmund Purdom.

Amazing! He sounds just like Mario Lanza when he sings.

 

[Ethan Riley]

Amazing! He sounds just like Mario Lanza when he sings.

No, no--that was Mario Lanza in the movie. He just looked like Edward Purdom.
