[Dave H]

Damn! No Raging Bull: SE.

 

[Marc Colella]

Got my eyes set on The Long Goodbye.

 

[Doug D]

KOYAANISQATSI? That's huge!

I've been curious to see THE KNACK and THE LONG GOODBYE for a long time, too ... a cool list from MGM, there.

 

[Steve Schaffer]

I'll be getting Valmont to go with Dangerous Liasons. Very interesting to contrast the 2 movies made about the same time of the same story. It'd be interesting to make a 3rd using the better actors from the 2 existing ones.

I like Annette Bening better than Glenn Close in their part, but Malkovich better than Colin Firth, and so on.

 

[MartinTeller]

Koyaanisqatsi
I'm guessing that ULOB will be barebones.

 

[Aryn Leroux]

Oh Yes! Flirting!!!!!!!!!!
This has been on my top 10 want list since dvd started. I sure hope MgM releases this in OAR. I also hope this is the Noah Taylor, Nicole Kidman Flick otherwise i am excited for no reason.

 

[Steve Enemark]

Pride of the Yankees? Sign me up! (unless it's a re-package of that colorized HBO crap)

 

[Thomas T]

Aryn, it is the Nicole Kidman Flirting.
I'd like to give a plug to a title no one has mentioned. The 1988 High Season, a quirky little gem of a comedy set in Greece with Jacqueline Bisset, James Fox, Irene Papas and a very young pre-Henry V Kenneth Branagh. It's one of those films that slipped through the cracks and deserved better than it got.

 

[Gavin_L]

cool, thanks for the dates, looking forward to the dvds

 

[Aryn Leroux]

Thomas: Thanks for letting me know. Do you know the specs of these releases yet ?

 

[Thomas T]

Aryn: MGM just announced the titles only today but gave no specs of any kind.

 

[PatrickL]

Wow, sign me up for 7 out of the 12. I can't decide which I'm happier about - The Long Goodbye, or Koyaanisqatsi.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Arrrgh! WHERE'S SG-1?????

 

[Jeff_A]

Pride Of The Yankees is possibly the greatest baseball film ever made. This news is fantastic (and long overdue).

 

[Tom Rhea]

I can't believe they are really releasing my no. 1 favorite guilty pleasure -- Texasville!!! Please, please let there be a commentary by Bogdanovich.

Thank you MGM.

 

[Garrett Lundy]

Lets hope The Unbearable Lightness of Being will recieve a 16*9 transfer, with digital restoration (to remove dirt and scratches), and possible a little colour correction (The criterion dvd looked a bit soft to me).
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!
Yeah, maybe it'll have a DTS track too. so far in my humble collection of DVDs, MGM hasn't had a very good track record.

 

[John Berggren]

I am all over Koyaanisqatsi. I thought the follow up was coming out too? No?

I'll have to echo Jeff's sentiment. I'm getting frustrated waiting for SG1 season 2.

 

[Jodee]

Texasville needs a commentary by Bogdanovich (there was a wonderful "director's edition" laserdisc, I recall.) Unfortunately, DVD File made it sound like these titles were bare-bones.
Maybe I'll have to find that laserdisc off Ebay. I was hoping the eventual DVD would have some features.
I am also interested in buying P/K, Flirting, Valmont and the Outer Limits releases.

The Producers isn't on the list?
