For a second I thought it was THE WALTON's movie.

That's what I thought as well for a second until I scrolled down and saw the artwork.

Can’t wait for that’s one of my favorite genres. Thank you.

None of them were available to us.

How about Mr. Holland's Opus?

Hello KLInsider, any chance any these 4 Western classics may be within Kino's upcoming "range"?

GUNMAN's WALK (1958) Van Heflin, Tab Hunter (unless this is still with SONY)

WINCHESTER '73 (1950) James Stewart

DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939) James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich

WATERHOLE #3 (1967) James Coburn

The KL Insider has mentioned a while ago that Winchester 73 and Destry are not with Kino (and may have been picked up by Criterion).

We asked for Winchester '73 and The Far Country. It was not available at the time.

Waterhole #3 is Paramount (need I say more?) and I stand to be corrected but I don't believe KL has a deal with Sony which leaves Gunman's Walk out.

This gets a 4K? Well, okay...Kino turns movies out at such a rate that I guess I can't criticize their (or the studio's) choice of what gets this treatment. Haven't seen the film, but it looks like MST3K fodder to me.

I actually like this type of movie as pure fun with no intentions of it being a classic. Those are some of the best movies.

Like Casablanca.

I agree that they are some of the most fun movies, although personally I would hardly call them "the best." I love watching terrible sci-fi movies, on DVD and Blu-ray. I only question the need for a 4K restoration. But, like I said, as long as Kino is doing the same for much better films, I have no real objection. And, what difference would it make if I had?

I think that's more of a studio decision than Kino as to which titles get 4K restorations.

True...most likely true.

Like Casablanca.

I do too along with Maltese Falcon, Gaslight, Public Enemy, Calvacade, Sunset, The General, Star Wars, Monster On Campus, This Island Earth, Earthquake, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Ghost and Mr Chicken, And many others in different genres along with They Came From Beyond Space.

I like those films that do't take themselves too seriously

Any chance of an old Fox Lorber title, 'Beau Pere', getting a spin on Blu?

 

[Bob Cashill]

Watched the excellent MELODY (1971) with friends last night, Region B disc. It's a StudioCanal title--any chance of a Kino release? (I don't think it's ever been on disc here, maybe tape back in the day.)
