Only the Sony Can Play…Columbia The 70s (1 Viewer)

[Worth]

Anderson Tapes has already had a region A release, albeit a barebones one as part of a double-bill with Physical Evidence from Mill Creek.

 

[Ethan Riley]

Almost all of these movies ran on our premium movie channel and HBO when we got cable tv back in 1976!

 

[Alan Tully]

Oh yes, I'd love The Cheap Detective (I prefer it to Murder By Death), mind you, I have the US DVD & it does look damn good.

 

[Robin9]

HaHa!

I'm betting 3/4 of the members here are in the same boat I am.

In that case you know even less about this forum than you do about films from the '70s!

I'm sorry, but you're wrong with that comment.

I think I've heard of maybe 2 of all these movies.

Gotta wonder, at this point in time, how many consumers are even out there demanding this kind of stuff, especially on disc? I can't imagine it being at all profitable to clean these up and stamp the discs.

Time to familiarize yourself. There are many gems to be found and should be discovered if you are seriously a fan of film.

Gumshoe (1972) is available on Blu-ray from Indicator as an import. Can be purchased on Amazon US or Amazon UK.

I just bought my copy off Amazon UK. Saved about $10 going AZ-UK.

On October 28th Indicator/Powerhouse Films will release Young Winston (1972) on Blu-ray with a nice selection of extras. First saw the film on a TCM broadcast and bought the dvd that had a very poor print of the film. Liked the film and will be a easy buy for me.

Like Universal, Sony has leasing multiple deals with Criterion, Twilight Time, Mill Creek , Grindhouse Releasing and Shout! Most surprisng is Sony itself releasing catalog titles on Blu lately such as Robin and Marian. below are 70s Columbia films . NOV are titles that never reached even VHS in the U.S. ; VHS are films only released in that format and NOB were released only on DVD. Fun to speculate which titles will go with which company. Who would have thought The Swimmer, for instance,would have gone to Grindhouse Releasing? Boldface are those films that seem important

Really? I havent heard. Whos releasing iy?

 

[Kyrsten Brad]

Assuming this isn’t humorous sarcasm, Skatetown USA (1979) is being released by Sony on September 24th, 2019. HTF/Amazon preorder link already up in a separate thread.
I’ve been contacting some online acquaintances who really want this title (and wrote at-length articles ) on this holy grail cult classic.

Two copies on order for me. Plus i know a few folks who will get this title as a stocking stuffer this Christmas season.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

Just received my Blu-ray of Young Winston (1972) and played a few scenes. Nice bright colors and very little film damage. I can finally throw away that awful Mill Creek dvd release with the distracting artifacts.

 

[David Weicker]

According to ‘that other site’ , Sony will be releasing Godspell on Blu-Ray on March 24th from a new 4K scan.

Hopefully an official press release will be sent out so that HTF can create an true thread

Yeah, I got it listed in our Pre-Order Listing for March 24th below in my signature, but Amazon hasn't activated the link yet.

 

[Bob Cashill]

Indicator is releasing CISCO PIKE on Blu in May. Zone B only, though; I'm sure Twilight Time would've brought this out in Zone A, maybe Sony or some other label will do it if you're not region-free.

I don't suppose it will have a stereo soundtrack. It may have been released as a mono film (never saw it in theaters) but there was a stereo soundtrack release. It's possible it could be synced up to the film, but maybe there are differences that make it impossible.

FYI: One song is performed on the roof of the World Trade Center.
