SERGIO LEONE WESTERNS
Five Restored Spaghetti Westerns From The Man Who Created The Genre! This collection includes all five westerns directed by the great Sergio Leone.

A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964) starring Clint Eastwood as ‘The Man with No Name’ with Marianne Koch, Gian Maria Volontè and Mario Brega

FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965) Clint Eastwood returns as 'The Man with No Name' and this time he's joined by Lee Van Cleef 'The Man in Black', Gian Maria Volontè, Mario Brega and Luigi Pistilli

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966) was Leone’s first masterpiece and the final film in ‘The Man with No Name’ trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach, Aldo Giuffrè, Al Mulock, Mario Brega and Luigi Pistilli

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968) is considered by most to be Leone's second masterpiece and at the time, his most ambitious film. Starring Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Jack Elam, Woody Strode, Al Mulock, Gabriele Ferzetti, Keenan Wynn, Frank Wolf and Lionel Stander.

A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE aka DUCK, YOU SUCKER (1971) was the maestro’s final epic western starring Rod Steiger, James Coburn and Romolo Valli.

All five films in this collection feature classic scores by legendary composer, Ennio Morricone (Navajo Joe, Death Rides a Horse, The Sicilian Clan, The Hateful Eight) and are Loaded with Special Features.

When I first saw Pray for the Wildcats as an ABC Movie of the Week, I was flabbergasted by Andy Griffith playing someone so cutthroat and calculating (I hadn't seen A Face in the Crowd yet, so this performance was a revelation that he could play something other than a friendly, jovial good ol' boy.) It's nice that he took a few chances in his career to play something dark and menacing.

Really looking forward to Night Passage. Always loved that one.

Yeah, I have a soft spot for that movie.

Wow! So many great titles coming from KL.

Presumably the art work for MAN IN THE SHADOW will be corrected before release, as it now reads MAN IN THE SHADOWS. Buyers just looking at the art work should also note the publicity blurb that states that the film is not a period western, but is set in the current day (at least the current day of 1957).

 

[Rodney]

We can hope that they decide to use this artwork.

Carl Weathers (Rocky), Barbara Bach (The Spy Who Loved Me), Franco Nero (The Mercenary), Richard Kiel (Moonraker) and Alan Badel (Arabesque) co-star in this large-scale action saga with remarkable special effects and stunts.

Seen Force 10 From Navarone a few times on tv and it's a good popcorn film. Nice to see a commentary on the disc too.

Bad Manners (1984) aka Growing Pains
• Brand New HD Master
• Optional English Subtitles
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 85 Minutes 1.78:1 Rated R
‘The Home of the Bleeding Heart for Orphans’ is more like a prison than a home for orphans. Run by the tyrannical Sister Serena (Anne De Salvo, Arthur, Taking Care of Business) and her eccentric assistant Mr. Kurtz (Murphy Dunne, The Blues Brothers, Blues Brothers 2000), it doesn’t take the inmates long to hatch an escape plan. With a scheme in mind, the kids begin to wreak havoc in the orphanage until one of them is “selected” to join the bizarre Fitzpatrick family. The escape plans quickly turns into a rescue mission, as the friends set off in search of their lost “brother”. On the run from Sister Serena, Mr. Kurtz, the police and the Fitzpatricks, the kids make a break for freedom in this off-the-wall comedy from the creator of Shogun Assassin, Robert Houston (Trust Me). Karen Black (The Pyx, Trilogy of Terror), Martin Mull (Clue, Mr. Mom) and Kimmy Robertson (Twin Peaks, The Last American Virgin) co-star as members of the Fitzpatrick family with Pamela Adlon (Grease 2, Louie) and Edy Williams (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Bad Girls from Mars).

I see this lists the European Cut running time. Will both cuts be included, or just the European?

COMING MARCH 17TH!

A PURE FORMALITY (1994) in French w/ English Subtitles
• NEW Audio Commentary by Entertainment Journalist and Author Bryan Reesman
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Trailers

Color 111 Minutes 2.35:1 Rated PG-13
From Giuseppe Tornatore, the acclaimed director of Cinema Paradiso, The Legend of 1900, The Best Offer and Malena, comes this dark and mysterious thriller with top-notch performances by Gérard Depardieu (Buffet Froid, Green Card) and Roman Polanski (The Fearless Vampire Killers, A Generation). Onoff (Depardieu) is a famed author who hasn’t published anything in years and has become a recluse. One rainy night, he is picked up by the police, who find him running across the French countryside in the rain, breathless, without any identification and apparently suffering from short-term memory loss. A murder has been committed in the nearby woods, and suspecting Onoff’s involvement, the authorities detain him at a dark, leaky command post to await the arrival of the Inspector (Polanski), who’s ironically a fan of Onoff’s work. Through painstaking interrogatory dialectic, the Inspector delves into Onoff’s mind, and brings the writer to a new and unexpected realization. Music by legendary maestro Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Sicilian Clan).

Kino Insider - Any plans to release Robert Aldrich's WW2 film Attack! (1956) now that Shout Factory's license has finally expired? They only released it on DVD so it would be nice to finally get this great film on Blu-ray.

 

[Bryan^H]

It was my resolution for the new year to cut back on buying so many discs. Thank you KL for breaking that idea in short order.

[LeoA]

Any ideas when the next round of moratorium titles will be announced? I believe it was said that the list would be regularly added to.
