I read somewhere years ago that THE MUSIC LOVERS was likely to be forthcoming, but obviously that was wrong. I was hoping that the British Film Institute would tackle this one, given the wonderful job they did with WOMEN IN LOVE. I wrote BFI, which said it was not on its radar.

They Call Me Mister Tibbs! is available on Blu from Kino Lorber.

MGM has nothing to do with Let It Be, all rights are controlled by Apple.

Mako: Jaws of Death was released on DVD by Retromedia (the film is considered to be in public domain).

If it's the hockey movie, Face Off is available on DVD and region A blu-ray in Canada.

 

[Louis Letizia]

Yes. I realize that. Thank You

 

[Bernard McNair]

Would love to get Slow Dancing on Blu with an isolated music track

There was some talk some time ago (year or so) that Smile (1975) was getting a Blu but nothing so far. It is available on Amazon Prime Video (don’t know if it’s HD or not) and on DVD.

I would definitely highlight WHERE THE LILIES BLOOM & SMALL CHANGE (two of the best films about children made in the 70's), SEMI-TOUGH, and the very fine newspaper/journalist-themed film BETWEEN THE LINES. Never even heard of VISIT TO A CHIEF'S SON, but I've checked, and its director is the wonderful Lamont Johnson, and it stars Richard Mulligan in a rare dramatic role. ABBY, in my opinion, was a despicable EXORCIST rip-off.

I totally agree with you on your choices of important films. I will reevaluate mine. While Visit To A Chiefs Son is no masterpiece...its a film I enjoyed watching with my father in the GOOD HBO days( 1975) It played very few theaters and the New York Times had a nice review of it when ot played at a rep house called The Thalia that had a festival of films that hadnt played in NY theaters. The same week this played they also showed Homebodies....another favorite film of my Fathers
