Suggestion Box:

"Avalon" - 1990 - TriStar
"Bugsy" - 1991 - TriStar
"The Natural" - 1984 - TriStar
"Sweet Dreams" - 1985 - TriStar

And another Tri-Star movie of that era, Andrew Bergman's hilarious THE FRESHMAN (1990). I'd take his IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU from Sony as well.

Would love to get some of John Sayles' Sony Classics pictures of the '90's and 2000s. Columbia/Tri-Star Home Video released CITY OF HOPE (1990) and MEN WITH GUNS (1997), LIMBO (1999) and SUNSHINE STATE (2002) would be great. I heard he bought back the rights to a lot of his films, but if that's the case, I wonder why they haven't received proper releiases. Also— David Mamet's THINGS CHANGE (1988) and THE SPANISH PRISONER (1988) would be most welcome.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

Um... apparently THE SPANISH PRISONER is coming on April 30 from another company, Ammo Content, that I've never heard of before.

Regarding the May 21st titles, has anybody's shipped yet? I ordered some titles last week and they haven't shipped yet?

I didn't order any titles, I don't recall when I did them shipping earlier than the ship date ... with the recent issues Technicolor has had getting releases out on time I doubt ... the most recent communique from TT I have still in my email is from May 7th. It advertised a $5.00 off sale on some low stock items

But says the titles will ship on May 21st

For those who are interested in the sale I mentioned it is at the Twilight Time site
And it is possible some titles have sold out from this list which is from the May 7th email ...
All titles below are on sale for $24.95 each through April 30th at 4PM ET/1PM PT.

Devil In A Blue Dress (Under 500 remaining until sold out, less than 50 at TTM)

Ive had two recent Blu Rays from Twilight Time The Bridge at Remagen, a much underestimated war movie, and the Children of Huang Chi, a fictionalised tale of a British journalist who ended up saving a school from having its pupils enlisted in the army then fighting the Japanese invasion. A bit like Inn of the 6th Happiness as it involved a trek across hazardous and dangerous terrain.
Bothe beautiful transfers of two movies than it seems didn't find their audiences in theatres.

 

[Powell&Pressburger]

Curious if there will be a sale soon? Bunch of titles I am behind on badly.

I think perhaps he meant, 'It Should Happen To You' - the warm-hearted Jack Lemmon/Judy Holliday comedy from 1954. Great film that should have come out by now. Ditto for The Marrying Kind and The Solid Gold Cadillac.

I assumed he was referring to the 1994 title since he referenced it along with The Freshman and those are both Andrew Bergman films.

PS. You meant "Should", right?

 

[willyTass]

Warlock’s from a 4 k scan so it doesn’t disappoint

Discovered The Trouble With Angels was on the Xbox video store tonight. The HD transfer looks just great, so I really hope this Columbia classic is eventually on Twilight Time's radar.

 

[Bryan^H]

Does TT still have sales through Screenarchives? It has been a while since I have heard any mention of one, or maybe I just haven't been informed by E-mail like I used to be.

It looks like Sony will be releasing this one themselves through their current MOD line (at least, it should be pressed).

There was a small sale in April. I picked up the Virgin Soldiers for $15. I can't remember the full list of titles off hand though.

YAY! I have been waiting for this for years!!

Yes they still do.

 

[fdabbott]

It would be great if TT could add Paramount to their rota. I know they're with Warner right now, but I don't know how long that deal is set to go.

Oh, & the United Artist film I'd just love is, The Vikings, but I don't know who has that, if anyone.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

Kino released THE VIKINGS a few years ago.

 

[fdabbott]

My hope too is that TT can expand their license agreements. Paramount and Universal have seemingly ceased releasing pre-1970 catalog titles (or any catalog titles in general, for the most part), and I wish they would license to TT if they aren't going to release titles themselves.

I would love to see TT release a Blu-ray of the 1981 Paramount film "Dragonslayer". The film stars Peter MacNicol, Caitlin Clarke, Ian McDiarmid, Ralph Richardson & Chloe Salaman and is treasure of a Fantasy film that has never been released in North America on Blu-ray, I know so many collectors who want this movie on Blu-ray, if any other studio had produced it, the film would have been on Blu-ray years ago.
