Three separate releases. We also have Un Flic, to be released later with some Delon titles.

Would be cool if you could get The Black Tulip. It's out on Blu-ray but only in French.

South Point, Georgia is in the stranglehold of Roy Boy Jagger (Paul Koslo, Mr. Majestyk) and his sadistic gang of extortionists and murderers armed to the hilt with sophisticated weaponry. Enter The Annihilators—an elite and synchronized fighting machine weaned on the impossible and hardened by the cruel realities of war. Now back in the States, they face a challenge every bit as vicious as their commando raids… and twice as urgent. They are called upon the citizens of Soith Point in a moment of desperation to single-handedly stop the maniacal Roy Boy. They must fight fire with fire, for The Annihilators—the war is over, but the battle has just began. Stylishly directed by cult director Charles E. Sellier Jr. (Silent Night, Deadly Night) and starring Gerrit Graham (National Lampoon’s Class Reunion) and Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs (Freddie ‘Boom Boom’ Washington of Welcome Back, Kotter).

Wonderful news about Bob Le Flambeur and the other Melville’s.

 

[Mike Frezon]

In his Playboy interview, Henry Fonda said that in the 1930s he and James Stewart recognized that their different political inclinations could damage their friendship and so they agreed never to discuss politics!

They must have been the inspiration for Ron & Packy when they created the HTF's rule of "no political discussions."

It just makes sense to maintain civility.

Dead of Night (1945) with optional English subtitles
• A 4K Restoration
• Audio Commentary by Film Historian Tim Lucas
• Remembering "Dead of Night" - Documentary (75:35)

(1945) B&W 103 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
A group of strangers is mysteriously gathered at a country estate where each reveals a chilling tale of the supernatural. First, a racer survives a brush with death only to receive terrifying premonitions from beyond the grave. Then a teen's innocent game of hide-and-seek leads to an encounter with the macabre. Next, a young couple purchases an antique mirror that unleashes a horrific power from its past. In a lighter vein, two competitive golfers play for stakes that may haunt the winner forever. Finally, a renowned ventriloquist descends into an abyss of madness and murder when his dummy develops a mind of its own. But even after these frightening tales are told, does one final nightmare await them all? Britain's venerable Ealing Studios brought together four brilliant directors, Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob), Basil Dearden (The Mind Benders), Alberto Cavalcanti (They Made Me a Fugitve) and Robert Hamer (It Always Rains on Sunday) to create this classic chiller that remains one of the most influential horror films ever made. This is the uncut and complete UK version of Dead of Night, now newly restored in 4K from original archival materials.

I believe the name is spelled Roland Culver. Shame on the copy reader,

No reason to get your panties in a bunch, it's the way it was spelled on the UK poster, so the designer just copied what he saw on the poster, we haven't proofed or printed the wraps yet.

No sure what "I'm" means?

"I'm" thinking I like the US poster.

I’m not sure why the “I’m” is there either. My panties are never in a bunch, I always separate them. I hope the spelling is corrected, because Mr. Culver is an excellent actor, and I’d like the accurate name on the Blu Ray when I add it to my collection. One fascinating film, with an especially fine performance from Michael Redgrave.

Quarantine (2000 TV Movie) Color 89 Min 1.33:1 NR

Terrorists release a mysterious virus on a small village, killing all of its inhabitants. When he learns the plague could destroy the world’s population, the President of the United States (Harry Hamlin, Clash of the Titans) charges a team of scientists, led by the brilliant Dr. Galen Bronty (Nastassja Kinski, Terminal Velocity), to find a cure. He then retreats to a northwestern island and goes under quarantine so he may govern the country from a safe zone. But a grave situation gets worse when one of his advisors and a stowaway terrorist fail to honor the quarantine and storm the island in a jumbo jet full of children. It’s up to the President to somehow stop the terrorist and the spread of this terrible plague—before it’s too late. The strong supporting cast includes Joelle Carter (TV’s Justified), Susan Hogan (Phobia) and Teryl Rothery (TV’s Stargate SG-1).
