S.E. Reissues of every single MGM Billy Wilder film along with the three Kubrick titles, Night Of The Hunter, After The Fox, The Best Years Of Our Lives ... The Lost Weekend, Dirty Harry, Topper, Head (The Monkees), Magic Christian ... and individual releases for Hail The Conquering Hero, Christmas In July and The Great McGinty!!!

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Also, the set that I would absolutely kill for would be a "Ford At Fox" style release of every single classic Universal horror titles, sequels and all! That would top the year! All the films in one oversized box set with tons of extras, documentaries, commentary tracks, lobby cards, original poster art, etc. Like a super deluxe thirty film box set!!! I'd sell my car to buy that!

 

[Walter Kittel]

FYI, Glenn Erickson has posted his 2008 wishlist (which includes a number of pending titles and their release dates for 2008)...

[MarcoBiscotti]

One more to top my list from Paramount is a Special-Edition re-release of SHANE with a brand new transfer... and not the usual Paramount "Chinatown" style S.E. but a proper full-blown edition that we would see from Warners, Fox or Universal that's worthy of this excellent film which has received such shoddy presentation on DVD.

 

[JulianK]

Many films from these lists are available on DVD in the UK, including The African Queen and A Matter of Life and Death (aka Stairway to Heaven).

Since multi-standard players are relatively cheap and readily available, it seems daft that people are denying themselves their favourite movies!

There are a few movies listed here that are tied up in apparently insurmountable rights problems. Electric Dreams and Terror in the Aisle certainly are, for example.

Armageddon would seem to be an obvious candidate for Blu-ray release. This year is its 10th anniversary year, too, so it seems like a no-brainer to me!

 

[george kaplan]

Well, you explain to me how I can buy those discs and watch those movies without them playing 4% too fast, and I'll buy them faster than you can say Bob's Your Uncle.

 

[nikkif99uk]

did any of the films on your lists get a release.

The only one on my list I know of with an upcoming release is The Itty Bitty Titty Commitee

 

[JulianK]

It doesn't seem to bother the seven hundred million people in Europe.

 

[george kaplan]

Pan & Scan doesn't bother millions of people. Edited versions of films on tv don't bother millions of people. That doesn't mean that I'm should therefore sink to that level and watch pan & scan or edited films. Nor will the fact that millions of people don't mind watching a film at the wrong speed influence me one bit to do so myself.

You can defend pal speed-up all you want (whether cause you truly think it's good to watch films 4% too fast or whether you're just trying to reduce your cognitive dissonance, I don't know) but you'll never convince me that it's a good thing.

 

[Alan Tully]

I wouldn't buy a pan & scan, or a cut about film on DVD. But the 4% PAL speed-up has never bothered me, I've never noticed it, & if I had, what could I do about it?
Has the NTSC 3-2 pull-down (every other frame 50% longer than the frame preceding it) bothered you. Does the fact that NTSC runs a fraction slower than 24fps bother you, & how about a hundred less lines than PAL.

Hi-Def will sort all this out, but the TV system that is without sin should throw the first stone!

I'm off to reduce my cognitive dissonance.
