Universal starts to reissue now-OOP Image DVD titles. (1 Viewer)

[Patrick McCart]

DVD File announced that a ton of Universal Bob Hope films will be coming to DVD soon that were originally put out my image. It looks like new tranfers with some extras will be the "SE" versions.

I hope this is the start of Universal putting out quality discs of the ones they originally gave to Image to work with (MST3K: TM, Marx Bros., Double Indemmity anyone?)

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

Bring on the Flash Gordon Special Edition!!

[Jeffrey Gray]

Sixteen Candles is getting an SE in the near future (it was an Image title).

 

[Ed St. Clair]

Great news, thanks for the update.

 

[Esten]

I heard a Carpenter/Piper commentary was recorded for 'They Live!',so i hope this is a possible Special Edition in the future.

 

[Greg Black]

The day that I can hold an honest-to-goodness Flash Gordon special edition in my hand, complete with a fully restored anamorphic transfer, commentary with the principal actors, and some nice behind the scenes footage and/or documentaries (if possible), will be the day that I actually forget all about the possibility of having the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future trilogies on DVD.
Well, for that one day anyway

Where's an anamorphic reissue of The Meaning of Life?

 

[Jay E]

Universal is releasing a box set of the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movies on 3/5. A couple of these were previous Image releases.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

And also a nice copy of The Seven Percent Solution. The original Image copy was grainy and not OAR. IIRC this was the FIRST DVD released by Image for Universal.

 

[Scott Shanks]

I'll second the nomination for Double Indemnity!

 

[Joel C]

An MST3K SE is my DVD dream title, the ne 'd pick to produce if I had the means.

 

[Kenneth English]

Just got their new edition of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS and it's great (good anamorphic transfer + director commentary!)! Here's hoping it's an indicator of things to come.
** Oops. Just realized the header says "Universal". Oh well. MGM did a great job with this former Image title so my comments still apply. Sort of...

 

[Todd Stout]

I'd like to see Prince of Darkness, They Live, and Andromeda Strain re-released by Universal as special editions.

 

[Kevin M]

A good transfer of Paul Schrader's Cat People would be nice.

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

While there is little wrong with Fahrenheit 451 or Slaughterhouse 5, new anamorphic transfers from the same elements would be awesome. I'd also like to see a better version of Silent Running.

 

[Derek U]

I'd like to see better transfers of all of Paramount's Marx Brothers films.

Derek

 

[Justin_S]

Okay Universal, I want PRINCE OF DARKNESS and THEY LIVE special editions!

 

[ErikG]

SE's I'd like to see:
Flash Gordon
Prince of Darkness
Ghost Story
Cat People

 

[Rollie]

FLASH!.....AHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
He'll save every one of us!
OH YEAH we need this bad!
Demon Knight would be cool too.
But, I've got four words for ya: Duck Soup: Collector's Edition.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

Hooray, now it possible to have Mystery Science Theater 3000 the movie be in it entirely that was edited out in the past(scenes like the chainsaw scene and meteror shower), along with a possible commentary over commentary(it would be cool).
