Put in some votes for A Matter of Life and Death and 49th Parallel!

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

49th Parallel will be released this year along with A Canterbury Tale by Criterion.

I'm also confident that Sony will release A Matter of Life and Death this year.

Throw in a vote for me, please, for the unlikely release of JUPITER'S DARLING.

Guys, guys - you can vote for as many films as you want! Go hog wild!

 

[Jack Briggs]

Amazing that, after all these years, The African Queen still is not on DVD.

 

[Jay E]

I don't trust that site too much...I tried to vote for The Devils, and it says it is already available on DVD and I can buy it from them for $29.95.

Plus looking at that top ten list, I have a feeling some people are voting multiple times. Letty Lynton is the second most wanted film not on DVD???

 

[MichaelScott]

You can't vote more then once, it won't let you. I accidently(no, really) did it and it said I already voted.

Please vote for the Films of Ronald Colman..especially Prisoner of Zenda, The Masquerader, and A Tale of Two Cities.

 

[Marc Fedderman]

I noticed that The Magnificent Ambersons ranks a pathetic 21st. I know it does not exist as Welles intended, but it's still a fine film and deserves a DVD release (lavish or otherwise).

A Matter of Life and Death does not appear under either title in the database even though TCM showed it during their Powell festival recently. I hope Gordon is right and this movie gets a proper R1 release this year.

The funny thing is, I love the TCM website, but I've never noticed the vote option before.

 

[Jay E]

I'm guessing people have multiple e-mails, if you do you can vote for the same title more than once.

Unless Letty Lynton is more popular than I ever thought.

 

[Mark B]

I voted many, many times, but you can only vote once per title. Is that the confusion?

 

[Dave GR]

Just voted for a bunch:

Background to Danger,
The Prize (1963)
The Outfit (1973)
His Kind of Woman
Ball of Fire
Sergeant York
... and Two Weeks in Another Town. I'd kill to get that one on DVD.

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

Vote for different films once. Don't vote for the same film a second time using the same email address - use an alternate address if you must.

 

[DouglasBr]

Just voted for a bunch myself:

Alec Guinness titles:
Last Holiday
The Detective
All at Sea
The Scapegoat
Our Man in Havana
Kafka
Little Dorrit

Didn't see a listing for The Card/The Promoter

Also asked for
Othello with Laurence Olivier
A Tale of Two Cities with Ronald Colman
African Queen
Count Dracula with Louis Jourdan (TV)
King Lear with Paul Scofield

A check of lingering VHS tapes will guide further votes on my part.

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Don't forget...

"Each Dawn I Die" (1939, J. Cagney)

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

PS...

TCM is accepting votes for classic animation also!

PLEASE put in a vote for classic Tex Avery titles as well as any films from the MGM Happy Harmony series!

Here's a quick referance link to some of the excellent Happy Harmony cartoons: http://imdb.com/keyword/happy-harmonies/

Also, don't forget to vote for... COAL BLACK!

Thanks!

 

[seanOhara]

And vote for the remake with Stewart Granger while you're at it.
