Press Release HTF EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time December 2018 Release Announcements (1 Viewer)

[Twilight Time]

Very facetious question: would you like some suggestions as to which Universal titles to release?

No, because we'll probably not get any more than what we have now.

 

[PMF]

The AMPAS database has a "statistics" section which lists every film that received 14, 13, 12, 11 and 10 Oscar nominations; totaling 89 titles in all. With the advent of Twilight Times upcoming release of "Anne of the Thousand Days", collector's now have only 9 more titles that remain unavailable on BD.

12 Nominations: "Johnny Belinda"
11 Nominations: "Sergeant York"; "The Pride of the Yankees"; "The Turning Point"
10 Nominations: "The Life of Emile Zola"; "Going My Way"; "Wilson"; "Roman Holiday"; Bugsy

I am simply listing these 9 for the fun of it, being fully aware that some may not even factor into Twilight Time's licensing agreements or plans. I am very much looking forward to all of the surprises and selections that lay ahead. Meanwhile, my thanks to Twilight Time for providing us with the following BD's of other key titles from the AMPAS "statistics" list of 89.

12 Nominations: "The Song of Bernadette"
11 Nominations: "Judgment at Nuremberg"; "Oliver!"; "Julia"
10 Nominations: "Sayonara", "Guess Who;'s Coming to Dinner?"; "Anne of the Thousand Days".

Cheers.

 

[Keith Cobby]

Would have expected Bugsy by now. Perhaps, like True Lies, it will go straight to 4k.

 

[RolandL]

Just A Man Called Peter for me because I love Fox CinemaScope. Hopefully this will be 2.55:1 with at least stereo sound, if not 4.0. I've already got the German Blu-ray of Anne of the Thousand Days, so I'm good there.

 

[Vegas 1]

All four of these are on my want list!

Love this. However, The Turning Point won't ever be released. It was released on DVD for about a week in 2005ish and hasn't been touched since. I've enquired about it, bui no one wants to release it. :/ The others probably have a good chance.

From our many pleas to plies;
Twilight Time has always been En Pointe.

We'd love it but our recent request for it at Fox was denied - that means there could be some plans for the title.

 

[ArnoldLayne]

The best in a while! gimme those!

That stinks. Fox has been holding this title for a long time. I doubt they’ll ever release it now with Disney owning them.

How about The Long Grey Line?

 

[PGB]

No, because we'll probably not get any more than what we have now.

I'm dreaming that Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here is in your hands

 

[Mark-P]

1979? Really? One of THE greatest years in Hollywood history?
That throws me for a loop.

Obviously, he's referring to Meatballs.

 

[Fred Sliman]

I'm dreaming that Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here is in your hands

Willie Boy was just announced elsewhere a few days ago.

 

[Malcolm R]

Obviously, he's referring to Meatballs.

I figured it had to be a reference to C.H.O.M.P.S.

 

[Worth]

It was the only time you'd see this on a marquee...

 

[Twilight Time]

How about The Long Grey Line?

It's possible.

 

[RobertSiegel]

Wait a minute, did someone mention Flower Drum Song? Ir were they wishing for it or was it mentioned somewhere? Is this a possibility? The three Universal titles I have waited for since day 1 of blu-ray are Flower Drum Song, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Sweet Charity, three excellent Universal musicals of the 60's, all with blow-away stereo soundtracks.

 

[RolandL]

It's possible.

A 3D title possible?
