Most if not all of the Miramax, etc. titles from the 90s and early aughts that didn't make it to Blu (and aren't streaming so far as I know). (DECONSTRUCTING HARRY doesn't appear to be here.) But I've no idea what "Quiver Films" is.

 

[Garysb]

I never heard of "Quiver Films", listed as the studio for this release. Did the films revert to Mr. Allen who made a deal with this company to release the films?

The Woody Allen Collection Blu-ray​ Quiver Films will release on Blu-ray Woody Allen Collection(1994-2003). The nine-disc set will be available for purchase on November 23. BOX SET CONTENT: Bullets Over Broadway (1994) Gangsters and the Great White Way collide with comic results in writer/director Woody Allen's Roaring '20s spoof. Struggling author David Shayne (John Cusack) manages to get his play on Broadway, but along the way must cope with a mob boss backer who puts his girlfriend in the cast, a famed lead actress who seduces Shayne, and a hit man who advises him on script changes. Jennifer Tilly, Chazz Palminteri, Mary-Louise Parker, and Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest co-star. 95 min. Mighty Aphrodite (1995) After adopting a baby boy with his gallery owner wife (Helena Bonham Carter), a sportswriter (Woody Allen) seeks-and finds-the kid's birth mother, a ditzy hooker and part-time porn actress (Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino). This discovery prompts the scribe to reassess his own life, while a Greek chorus comments on the proceedings. Michael Rapaport and F. Murray Abraham co-star. 95 min. Everyone Says I Love You (1996) Offering his unique spin on movie musicals, Woody Allen and his co-stars gamely break into song and dance as they trace the romantic foibles of a Manhattan family. As happily-married Bob (Alan Alda) and Steffi (Goldie Hawn) prepare for their daughter's (Drew Barrymore) wedding, Steffi's ex-husband (Allen), living in Venice, Italy, is coached by his daughter (Natasha Lyonne) in wooing a married art student (Julia Roberts). Songs include "All My Life," "I'm Through with Love," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me." 105 min. Celebrity (1998) Woody Allen's acerbic look at fame and infidelity stars Kenneth Branagh as a "Woody"-like writer named Lee Simon, who splits from his schoolteacher wife (Judy Davis), then seeks affection in the arms of a host of women, including a movie star (Melanie Griffith), a supermodel (Charlize Theron), and a waitress/would-be actress (Winona Ryder). With Joe Mantegna, and Leonardo DiCaprio as a temperamental actor. 113 min. Sweet And Lowdown (1999) Woody Allen's affectionate pseudo-documentary centers on Emmet Ray (Sean Penn), "the second-best jazz guitarist in the world," a '30s musical virtuoso with a stormy personal life that includes drunkenness, thievery and failed relationships with a socialite writer (Uma Thurman) and a mute laundress (Samantha Morton). With Anthony LaPaglia and Gretchen Mol. 95 min. Small Time Crooks (2000) Woody Allen directs and stars in this amiable remake of "Larceny, Inc.," playing a career petty thief who hatches a scheme to buy a cookie store with his wife (Tracey Ullman), then tunnel into the bank next door with his cronies. But when the cookie business takes off rather than crumbles and leaves the couple rolling in dough, a whole new series of funny complications follow. With Hugh Grant, Jon Lovitz, Elaine May, Michael Rapaport. 95 min. The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion (2001) Putting his own comic spin on a mix of "His Girl Friday" and "Double Indemnity," writer/director/star Woody Allen plays a crack insurance investigator in '40s New York. His feud with a company efficiency expert (Helen Hunt) takes an unexpected turn when a nightclub magician hypnotizes them into revealing their true attraction to each other--while at the same time compelling him to commit a series of jewel thefts. Dan Aykroyd, Elizabeth Berkley, David Ogden Stiers, and Charlize Theron also star. 102 min. Hollywood Ending (2002) Once again biting the hand that feeds him with hilarious results, Woody Allen plays a once-hot filmmaker whose temperamental ways have relegated him to shooting TV commercials in Canada. When his ex-wife producer (Téa Leoni) lands him a job that could revive his career, things seem to pick up...until he comes down with hysterical blindness on the set! George Hamilton, Debra Messing, Mark Rydell, Treat Williams also star. 114 min. Anything Else (2003) Woody Allen's romantic farce stars Jason Biggs as New York comedy writer Jerry Falk, struggling with his career, his agent (Danny DeVito) and his neurotic girlfriend (Christina Ricci). For advice, Jerry seeks help from middle-aged high school teacher and wannabe comic David Dobel (Allen), who tries to talk his friend into dumping his girlfriend and agent, ignoring his meddling mother (Stockard Channing), and moving to Los Angeles. With Jimmy Fallon, KaDee Strickland and Erica Leerhsen. 109 min.

I love his movies but of these only Sweet and Lowdown and Small Time Crooks are needs for me out of those.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

Hollywood Ending is my favorite and the only one of the nine i have on my shelf.

 

[Matt Hough]

Deconstructing Harry was Warner Bros., wasn't it? I have it on DVD and like it (despite the most profane language Woody had used in a film to that point).

 

[Marc Hampton]

Bullets Over Broadway at last!

i'll probably wait for reviews before ordering this ... this company has only released a handful of films on blu and i've never heard of any of them.

 

[Jeff Adkins]

Deconstructing Harry was originally supposed to be included, as it was listed on the original box art. Something must have fallen apart with the licensing on that one.

 

[Powell&Pressburger]

Hoping their release of Anything Else is in the proper scope aspect ratio. A German release had it as 1.85:1

Christina Ricci is so good on this, and Stockard Channing.

From the sublime (Sweet and Lowdown) to the abysmal (Hollywood Ending), most of these have previously been released in Scandinavia, with terrible transfers, which look like upscaled DVDs. I would definitely wait for a review before purchasing.

I hope Barbara Kopple’s Wild Man Blues (1997) gets a Blu-ray release.

Is this post in the right thread?

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion might be his least favourite movie but I think it's his best. Wonderful cast, script, and period detail. Plus some great jazz (Wilbur de Paris).

Someone in the graphics department seems to have a wicked sense of humor. It lists Sweet And Lockdown as part of the collection. Who knew Woody Allen was so prescient? Curiously, it's not listed on the cover art Mr. Epstein shows.

 

[Robert Harris]

Definitely a “wait for reviews.”

Most certainly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Man_Blues

I know Woody did not direct the film but it's a great documentary about his love for jazz and scenes of his 1996 performances in Europe.

Could Quiver be a new subsidiary of Arrow?
Doesn’t really matter to me, too few diamonds in this pile of rocks for me to consider purchasing.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Typically I like Allen’s pictures but this is not a fantastic set and most of them are not big on the rewatch factor. Sweet and Lowdown is the gem in this bunch for me. I kind of think this won’t be a big seller as Allen is basically an outcast at this point.

Except Sweet And Lowdown may not be part of this set.

The original mockup box had 'Sweet And Lockdown' on the cover. There were also varying accounts of the number of titles - 10, 8, 9. The art also showed 'instructing Harry', hinting that Deconstructing Harry was included

The current listings have new artwork (shown in the OP) with neither of those titles. And the information in the Retailer Listing is 8 films (with those two missing).


I might pick this up for a domestic copy of Everyone Says I Love You, but ideally I'd welcome a stand-alone to replace my import
