Some of these have already been discussed in other threads, but this is indeed good news, particularly for me in regard to True Confessions.

nice to see ROYAL FLASH getting a DVD release, as it was never releasing on video here in the States.

I, too am excited to hear that Royal Flash is finally making its debut. It was not my favorite book of the series, but it made a pretty good movie with a fabulous cast. I've been making do with a non-anamorphic DVR I recorded off the DiSH.

I hope this is the original 1967 Bedazzled with Raquel Welch, not a new version of the Brendan Fraser remake. Happy to see The Little Princess, like Snows Of Kiliminjaro and Anna Karenina, will be rescued from public domain Hell which gives me hope that a spanking fresh print of Beneath The 12 Mile Reef will see the light of day soon.

The only bummer is that the only way (apparently) to get Looking For Richard is to buy the boxed set!

S*P*Y*S

Wow, I have been waiting a looooong time for S*P*Y*S. This film is even better than M*A*S*H........you are about to say I am nuts, aren't you? Ha, just kidding about it being better.

However, it is a definite purchase. It is at times very funny and you must buy it just for the very memorable Jerry Goldsmith score. 1970s Goldsmith is prime stuff. Can't wait for this DVD -- great score, fun movie.

Too bad Fox only had theatrical rights to the follow up to S.P.Y.S for Elliot Gould, WHIFFS, (which was called C.A.S.H in Japan), which I still find it funny to this day (OK, so I have bad taste!).

The Hemingway Collection has been announced for over a month - but I still have yet to find a site that lists the formats of the films (5.1 sound, 2.o sound etc) extras and cover art work. Fox is doing nothing to promote this box set.

Panic in Needle Park, alright!

I'll believe "Panic" when I see it. It's been cancelled at least twice before.
