It's nice to see The Man in the Moon get a Blu-ray release, now I wish I hadn't already bought it on iTunes.
I wonder if Inferno will be superior to the Panamint release which is still in print, by the way.
The Bridge at Remagen and Hell and High Water look interesting. I just might blind-buy those two.

Who'll Stop The Rain and The Quiet American to finally put to rest the non anamorphic DVDs. I'm happy with the blu of Inferno from Panamint. I'm content with my DVDs of Hell And High Water (it's Fuller's weakest film) and Bridge At Remagen.

The Quiet American for me since I think I'll be a Brando completist.

edit: Oops! I confused this with The Ugly American. :P

Excited for The Stone Killer. Love the poster artwork.

Curious to know which titles might get commentary tracks, esp Inferno! Which will be out in time for summer.

The Panamint disc of Inferno is in mono (it was said the stereo tracks for the movie were lost)- if they somehow found them for this new disc I'll buy it again.

If the audio for Inferno is still mono, I'll pass, I already have the two Panamint BD releases, I don't need a third. I have to wonder if this particular title is going to sell due to the Panamint releases? I understand wanting to get another 3-D title out, but I'm just saying.

Twilight Time does love them Bronson titles. I see 3-4 titles I'll buy out of this bunch.

I have to see what the extras are for Inferno. If they are the same as the Panamint disc, I'll take a pass. If there's something new and exciting there, I'll consider it.

I would have preferred Gun Fury or Gorilla at Large, frankly.

Same here. I have the excellent Panamint blu-ray. Except for the superb Mad Magician package I haven't bought any TT titles since 2015. Shall be buying Edge of Eternity at some point but otherwise all the titles of interest to me which TT may once have considered, are now being released by KL.

I'm just shocked no one has asked Sony for Murder by Death, or The Cheapn Detective. If TT could get those and use the original awesome poster artwork for the covers and maybe do some commentary tracks I think they would sell very well. They are both favorites of many.

The fact no one else has tried to release them on BLU yet possibly they can't be licensed out?

Also just a low amount of classic Neil Simon movies like Seems Like old Times, and California Suite with isolated audio tracks would be great.

Will be buying several from this batch announced.

Well, at least another two months before seeing You Were Never Lovelier..

I'm happy for those of you that wanted some of these. But none for me this time.

I'm pretty sure TT has inquired about Murder by Death and The Cheap Detective. They have indicated they are not available for them to license. Sony has yet to reveal plans of those films or any of the Neil Simon films they own. Hopefully they will not ended up as part of the Choice Collection with BDR transfers.

TT has indicated they have the title but it is held up with music rights issues. It will get a street date once that has cleared up.

Looking good here, with Bronson and vintage Jackie Chan, but especially Who'll Stop the Rain. This was reissued in 16:9 as a MOD disc, packaged with Rush (91), but on Blu, with the isolated (excellent) score, it'll excel. Brutal Tales, Man in the Moon, and Bridge, too--awaiting spring.

(I'm surprised, giving its "Winner" ways, that TT hasn't gotten to Lawman, with fave Burt Lancaster, yet.)
