Was that in 2008 at the Schauburg Cinerama cinema? That was a Todd-AO 70mm Festival. The Last Valley was released by Cinerama releasing but never promoted

Yes, it was. An exciting festival.

I would add 1941's Here Comes Mr. Jordan to my list. It meets all the TT criteria: Columbia (Sony) library, and had a previous DVD release. I would think elements are in good shape as UCLA did preservation work on this and many other Columbia films.

 

[David Weicker]

My top three Columbia wishes are:

Godspell
and the two Hayworth/Astaire films
You'll Never Get Rich
You Were Never Lovelier

We have one 3D title scheduled for December -- it'll be announced along with the Nov/Dec releases during the first week of August.

Can't wait for the announcement! There are many vintage 1950s titles I'd love to see become available, and a few 80s as well. Hope more will be forthcoming from yourselves. The situation has improved in recent years, but vintage 3-D remains a rare and sought after commodity.


For titles that were originally filmed in 3-D, that should be respected like the intended aspect ratio. Always push for a 3-D disc release, this is much appreciated!!

 

[Twilight Time]

Just a heads-up that our 3D title scheduled for December is a spectacular, recent sci-fi film from Japan - absolutely stunning in 3-D and 2-D!

Ah. Thanks anyway. Hope you do very well with it.

 

[Todd J Moore]

Ah. Well, that made my guess wrong. Anyhow, It'll be my pleasure to support you. Hope for more vintage titles.

 

[disctrip]

That's a joke right? recent sci-fi from Japan, has to be a joke. Especially with so many 50's sci-fi from the 50;s that have yet to see a 3-D release.

 

[Quatermass II]

House Of Bamboo is now on my 'must buy' list. Just wondering who owns Run Of The Arrow - would be good to see a Blu ray of that in its correct RKO Scope ratio.

not quite where my interest lies, but always good to see 3-D released in 3-D and I hope it's a strong seller. Bear in mind that titles already available in overseas markets may not sell as well as newly available titles, as I'm sure you're aware.

 

[TheSteig]

Well I might as well throw some titles into the hat. I know most of the labels and those who read my posts know I love horror and science fiction all year around , not just October, that being said TT , any chance of these titles becoming part of the TT collection


Hand of Death - I know this had an MOD from Fox not too long ago but its DVDr not a blu ray

SpaceMaster X-7 -- nobody has released this title commercially and I feel anything unreleased should have a chance It is with Fox

Day of the Triffids - I had hoped you might pursue this movie even if the person who spent a lot on restoring it has a high asking price

The Creeping Flesh - a title with Sony and would be a great seller

The Brasher Doubloon - another great Noir on DVDr from Fox

Cry of the City - same as the Brasher Doubloon - DVDr

I saw your comment that you do have more Fox Noir titles coming , so thank you for getting those


Also are you able to license the same titles that have also been licensed to Mill Creek ? They have Mothra, Battle in Outer Space, Scream of Fear, Boris Karloff Films, a lot of great older scifi horror that have already gotten dvd releases, and they are re-packaging them for another DVD release ...

They even have Panic Room which is often requested for a blu ray release


And one more *Warlords of Atlantis* this has NEVER ever had a domestic DVD or bluray release. Since At the Earth, Land the Time Forgot are out, People That Time Forgot is coming, why not license Warlords and make a lot of fans happy as punch

The Run Of The Arrow DVD was just released by Warner Archive.

Many thanks, John - a decent DVD release (based on my previous experience of WA releases) at last for this underrated western. The quality of the currently available versions seem to be pretty dubious, so I've been making do with my old taped-from-TV VHS for years, so it will be good to have this one.

Thanks again for letting me know, John.

A few more suggestions I think would be great for TT:

-The Whole Wide World(1996) an almost criminally overlooked gem about Robert E. Howard a great Pulp writer. Zellweger, and D'Onofrio are just about perfect.

And speaking of Japanese films how about two really good ones from Koreeda

-Maborosi. A woman struggles after the apparent suicide of her true love.

-After Life. After death people are given the chance to relive their most cherished memory for all eternity. Powerful film that should stick in your head days after viewing.

 

[bujaki]

Both Kore-Eda films are essential viewing, imo, particularly After Life. Powerful film, indeed.

 

[DP 70]

Yes The Last Valley would be great to have on Blu.

Lets Hope...

 

[Nick*Z]

It's high time WILSON was rescued from the nightmarish purgatory it currently exists in - crummy transfer.


Also on my radar:


Star!

Peyton Place

Anastasia (1956)

Woman's World

Doctor Doolittle

Anna and the King

Forever Amber

Suez

Little Women (1994 from Sony)

How to Steal a Million

Two for the Road

Margie

...also, some vintage Shirley Temple (The Littlest Colonel, The Little Princess, Captain January et al) would be nice....and long overdue!!!


...also, there are at least two Fox 'marquee' musicals that long ago should have been a no-brainer on Blu-ray:

Down Argentine Way

The Dolly Sisters


It wouldn't hurt to have That Night in Rio, Daddy Long Legs, Springtime in the Rockies, Mother Wore Tights, I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now, and, Alexander's Ragtime Band too!

More Richard Fleischer:

THE GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING
COMPULSION
BARABBAS
DOCTOR DOLITTLE
THE BOSTON STRANGLER
10 RILLINGTON PLACE

 

[Quatermass II]

And The Vikings, of course (yet again) - in the hope that if we keep banging on about it, someone will put it out on Blu just to shut us up

Yes, I hope that is a joke. I take back my comment of buying it no matter what the title is. I was assuming that it was a classic 3D title from the 1950's.
