Hmm, I must say some interesting titles. I don't think I ever seen Hilda Crane in its entirety. Geronimo is a definite purchase along with The Birth of a Nation. I know I never seen Next Stop, Greenwich Village.

 

[Richard Gallagher]

It will be interesting to see how the 2015 restoration of The Birth of a Nation compares to the Kino Blu-ray that I reviewed in 2011.

The Birth of a Nation Blu-ray Review

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing as I have that 2011 Blu-ray. I'm banking on it looking much better.

This might be one of those months in which I purchase all four titles as I'm always on the lookout for films I've never seen before as I vaguely remember Hilda Crane, but, nothing on Next Stop, Greenwich Village.

Regarding Geronimo: An American Legend, I have to assume there is going to be an audio commentary with Walter Hill or possibly John Milius based on their previous working relationship with Nick Redman. I love Duvall's portrayal of Al Sieber as I always compare it to John McIntire's casting of Al Sieber in Apache and Richard Widmark in Mr. Horn. Wes Studi was perfect for Geronimo.

 

[Mark-P]

I've been waiting a long time for Geronimo. While I've heard of Next Stop, Greenwich Village I'm ashamed to say I've never seen it because it's just the kind of film that I would be into. I'm totally unfamiliar with Hilda Crane but could be persuaded... I already have Birth of a Nation on Blu-ray and really don't need to buy it yet again.

 

[Matt Hough]

A quite varied and very interesting assortment of titles. I've never seen Hilda Crane either, but a CInemascope Blu-ray is a must. I saw Next Stop, Greenwich Village in its theatrical release in a nearly empty theater and enjoyed it a lot.

 

[RICK BOND]

Nothing for me. None of them are on my wish list.

 

[Bernard McNair]

Geronimo is a definite for me; Gene Hackman and Robert Duval are among my favourite actors. Next Stop Greenwich Village will also join my collection; as I recall it is a quirky film.

Interesting that TT are releasing the Photoplay restoration of Birth of a Nation as I could have sworn reading that Flicker Alley would be the ones releasing it on this side of the Atlantic. While I don’t think I’ll be purchasing it (I have the Kino Blu and I don’t really watch it all that much), I can’t help but wonder if we can expect more silent films from TT, especially if they’re more Photoplay restorations not owned by Warner (I’ve been particularly eager for a US release of the Photoplay restoration of Nosferatu).

Another esoteric group of releases. GREENWICH VILLAGE is a cool movie for anyone who has direct memories of that part of NYC in the 60's and early 70's. Because it's so location-specific even down to its title, relatively few of us nation-wide had actually experienced that particular section of NYC during its heyday (I was fortunate enough to have spent a bit of time there), thus probably the small audiences in 1976. It's one of my favorite Mazursky films, loaded with period atmosphere.

 

[BRAD1963]

I'm excited for Next Stop, Greenwich Village.

 

[TheSteig]

Nothing on my wishlist, or movies Ive even heard of - save for The Birth of a Nation.
It is a movie I might be interested in , but a 192 minute silent film seems pretty long and I dont know if my attention span can handle it lol
Maybe split it in half like a serial ?

I do have Lang's Spies in my collection so it's not like Im anti long silent film

 

[Rodney]

I'm in for BOAN! I held off from purchasing the Kino edition and the BFI edition, as I heard word this was going to be released soon. I wonder how many of the extras from the 2015 BFI release will be ported over? I'm hoping all of them, as I don't want to have to purchase both.

 

[Powell&Pressburger]

I want many of these but Esp Next Stop Greenwich Village. That classic poster artwork is so cool.

 

[John Hermes]

Slim pickings lately for me. I need to look into Hilda Crane as I've never seen it.

Did you say "esoteric"?

Kevin Brownlow has the Midas touch; therefore The Birth of a Nation becomes an indispensable release.
I've only seen Hilda Crane in a P&S tv print so this is also a must.
I've seen the other two; will get them as well.

Funny clip for those who consider a large (and, unfortunately, voting) population to be seriously undereducated.

Looking forward to April.
