Amazon is your friend in finding many of these Universal titles, a number in Region A, others in Region B.

Roadshow of 70mm MacKenna's Gold if elements are still available!

i didnt have time to go through everything, but a some of what you have listed is already sitting on my shelf released on bluray i have changed the color to reflect for those in sets, i have that listed as well, piggy backing on Keith's post mine are US releases

To piggyback as well,

The Last Remake of Beau Geste was released on BD in 2016 by Elephant Films in France so an HD master exists for a US release.

 

[RobertSiegel]

So many of these are available already and are readily available in the U.S. and abroad.

I do see that now, but remaining on the list are a heck of a lot of great movies that would shine in HD and I am really hoping someone makes a deal with the studio. The two I want the most are Flower Drum Song and Thoroughly Modern Millie, but I would buy any on my list.

Fox titles - we have ceased our commitment to MGM/UA.

Dear TT insider,
Does this cessation of commitment to MGM/UA mean we are not likely to see a Blu Ray version of Clarence Brown's "The Rains Came"?
On a couple of unrelated notes, about two years ago I asked about the possibility of re-releasing one of your last DVD issues, The Left Hand of God in Blu ray, and you replied "we are considering it". Is it still a possibility?
Finally, and it might not be within your purview, is TT able to release the 4K restored pr t of John Ford's The Long Grey Line?

The above questions not withstanding, thank you for all the very good work you do with your releases of Fox's and others' titles.

Curious....Mill Creek just announced a Charles Bronson Collection to be released on April 3 2018, which includes both The Valachi Papers and The Stone Killer, both of which TT just released in 2017. I'm curious as to what happened to TT's 3-year window of exclusivity on these titles? And if they were pulled back by the licensor, did TT get anything in return for giving up the 3-year window?

Ordered The Hospital and Sayonara . Love these sales .

 

[skylark68]

Picked up Remo Williams, Play Dirty, Bridge at Remagen, and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Thanks TT!

Some of the heavily discounted films are worth picking up! Secret of Santa Victoria, Solomon and Sheba, Summer Lovers, and Glory Guys of course are all wonderful films and worth a pick up!

 

[Steve...O]

Thanks to TT for the sale! I picked up a slew of Woody Allen films and some others. The Hospital is a blind buy based on comments at HTF.

 

[dana martin]

ok, so i went to TT site, to order Dragonwick, selected all titles, and to my surprise, a lot of DVD's from the Wade Williams Collection is on there. While i don't ever see TT doing a complete Ed Wood Jr, box set, it does open up the possibilities of a request,

don't know how much work would be involved to have this done correctly, but it would be nice to see this gem, finally presented in a proper way. Would love to hear Nick' commentary on this?

Just like the 4K UHD titles (and Flicker Alley) product I believe they are selling other companies' titles on the TT website ...

 

[Tom St Jones]

TT has a deal with Sony/ Columbia? Don't know how I missed that news.

Any plans for TT to release any of the following?:

DEAD HEAT ON A MERRY_GO_ROUND (1966) James Coburn, Camilla Sparv (+ Harrison Ford in his film debut)

THE PRESIDENT's ANALYST (1967) James Coburn

THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) Michael Caine (first 'Harry Palmer' film). (I realise this may be with Universal).

THE CHEAP DETECTIVE (1978) Peter Falk + all-star cast

SALT N' PEPPER (1968) Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford (Director: Richard Donner)

ONE MORE TIME (1970) (sequel to Salt n Pepper) Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford (Director: Jerry Lewis)

The above two titles (both long-shots at best, I know) wld make a nice double feature.

Well, Tom - we don't know how to tell you, but we've released at least one (and sometimes two) Sony/Columbia titles every month without fail since November, 2011. You have a lot to catch up on!

 

[Bryan^H]

I'm still hoping for "Housekeeping" , "The Bride", and never been released on BD-"The Whole Wide World".

 

[LeoA]

I'm sure there's a lot of Columbia content I'd love to see from the 1930's and 1940's if I looked through a list of titles, but a more recent one I'd buy on day 1 would be The Trouble With Angels.

Hopefully that one happens from Twilight Time one of these days. Fell in love with it on Turner Classic Movies four or five years ago.

The two Sammy Davis Jr. movies were a fun little DVD set from MGM. "President's Analyst" was on DVD from Paramount, "Ipcress File" was on DVD from Anchor Bay, and "Dead Heat On a Merry Go Round" was a Columbia DVD. "The Cheap Detective", which I don't have, was a Columbia DVD too. I'd be in for all of them on Blu-Ray, and I'd like to request "Comfort And Joy" which was a Universal VHS tape and currently is only on UK DVD, because I always do.

Unfortunately, a fluctuating personal financial situation over recent years may have kept me from being fully apprised of this and other developments regarding TT. Enough that I've stayed away from this TT forum for extended stretches (to resist temptation). So yes, seems I have some catching up to do :>]

Except for "Salt n' Pepper" and "The Cheap Detective", I own all those titles pictured.
Unfortunately, neither of the Sammy Davis films are anamorphic, "The Ipcress File" DVD is good but lacks closed captions/ SDH, and "The Cheap Detective" is (AFAIK) only available in full-screen.

 

[Matt Hough]

No, The Cheap Detective has a widescreen (anamorphically enhanced) transfer on that release. I have it.

It was initially released with anamorphic widescreen, but that version was deleted shortly thereafter and replaced with the foolscreen-only version.
