[george kaplan]

I was going to do this a long time ago, and got busy with other stuff and never got around to it. :b I figured after all this time, all my choices would have been mentioned, but apparently not, including some surprising ones (e.g., Top Hat) unless I missed them somehow. The only studio I'm certain about is Disney.

[FrankXS]

Several Columbia titles which I feel deserve the DVD treatment are
Twentieth Century w/John Barrymore and Carole Lombard; Holiday w/Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn; The More the Merrier w/Jean Arthur,Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn; and It Should Happen To You w/Judy Holliday. Also one of Grace Moore's musicals from the mid 1930's.

Sorry if I've missed any. I'll go through now and list whatever has been announced for the remainder of the year.

Herb.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Whew! I went in and gave the list a big spring cleaning!

Lots of stuff added and removed. If you see any errors, let me know. And keep posting your requests!

 

[Walter Kittel]

Scott - Giving the list a cursory view here are a couple of Fox titles you can remove:

The Diary of Anne Frank (1959)
Pickup on South Street (1953)

- Walter.

 

[Craig S]

Here's one I'd like to see:

Reuben, Reuben - 1983. A great black comedy starring Tom Conti (who was nominated for Best Actor Oscar & GG and won the NBR Best Actor award) and featuring the film debut of Kelly McGillis (Witness, Top Gun). The film was also Oscar-nominated for Adapted Screenplay.

It's probably been over 15 years since I saw this, but I still remember (and laugh at) one particular line about Conti's character (a sad-sack womanizing writer aptly named Gowan McGland) "cutting an erotic swath down the Eastern Seaboard".

According to IMDB, 20th Century Fox International Classics is the distributor.

 

[george kaplan]

One I just saw, and definitely needs to be on dvd:

The Major & the Minor (1942)
