Fox have already released DOCTOR DOLITTLE on bluray. I have had it for some time.

Yes, but I understand the quality is not very good and I bet there is not even a TODD-AO title in the credits. I saw this in TODD-AO and a proper transfer from 65mm sources would equal the best of them,bar none.

I understand that the 70mm film THE BLUE BIRD was a Russian/USA coproduction so maybe Fox don't have the rights? What about RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG BOYS and THE RAINS OF RANCHIPUR (A cinemascope remake of THE RAINS CAME)? There are many more early cinemascope films from Fox that have yet to see the light on bluray such as THE NIGHT PEOPLE and SOME CAME RUNNING.

That US/Russian The Blue Bird certainly plays on the Fox Movie Channel especially during holiday season. I've seen it a couple of times in the past year. I always mean to burn a DVD of it, but it's just such a terrible movie that I always talk myself out of it.

I suspect the previous poster was referring to the 1940 Shirley Temple The Blue Bird. It was one of the offerings on the Fox Vote Your Choice list a couple of years ago, so there must be an HD master for it somewhere.

Yes I was referring to the '40 Shirley Temple version.

 

[cinerama10]

It's not available DOMESTICALLY in the US...which is the topic of this thread...

WHERE is that mentioned on this thread??????

You are right in that there is no mention of TODD-AO in the credits but it does have the overture, entracte and play-out music.I thought that the quality was brilliant. I did also see it in 70mm decades ago.

Yes the Russian/USA version was a disaster at the box office and boring as well. The Shirley Temple version was brilliant

Quality is decent but the colours seem faded somewhat; although I remember the colours not looking much better on the DVD or indeed on VHS.

Wouldn't a better title for a thread like this be something like "Films I wish Fox would be willing to hand over to 3rd parties in 2015"? There's very little Fox release themselves these days, and many of the wishlist titles folks have come up with are obscure to semi-obscure. I have no hope of ever seeing even better-known films like FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (original) or a Von Ryan's Express remaster hit Blu-ray, at least not from Fox. Someone on another forum even suggested that The Abyss might end up with Twilight Time! A couple of years ago I would've scoffed at such a thing but today I'm actually afraid this might happen. It's a very different world now.

No offense, but everyone who seriously believes in that is an idiot.

 

[Walter Kittel]

In terms of specific titles - The Seven-Ups and Bedazzled (1967).

In general - pretty much any of the film noir titles would be welcome.

- Walter.

 

[JoeDoakes]

Poor Little Rich Girl and, of course, the Clifton Webb blu-ray box.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
BEDAZZLED
BARTON FINK (I have the region-free UK disc)
FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX
MILLIONS
and my number one pick
SOLARIS (2002), which I can't believe never made the jump to hi-def.

(and of course THE ABYSS and TRUE LIES)

 

[bruceames]

Very surprising that True Lies and The Abyss haven't been released on Blu-ray yet. If Fox were only going to release two more catalogs themselves, then those would be it. But can you imagine the uproar if Twilight Time got them?

 

[Walter Kittel]

I forgot about Solaris (2002). Definitely.

I agree that it is somewhat surprising that this film hasn't been released on Blu-Ray considering the talent associated with the film.

- Walter.
