Warner 2004 Chat: Post Titles You Didn't Get To Ask About (1 Viewer)

[JonZ]

Nice rereleases of.....

Excalibur
The Road Warrior
Deliverance
Kubricks in 16x9

 

[Bruce Morrison]

I'd really like to see Billy Wilder's 'Fedora' released on DVD. I assume Warners still have the rights to it, as they released it on laserdisc - but if anyone knows otherwise, it would be good to know from whom I should be requesting this title.

'Reflections In A Golden Eye', 'Point Blank' and 'Lust For Life' would also be very welcome DVD releases.

 

[Bob Engleman]

I'm throwing my hat into the ring for the following:

1.Capt. Horatio Hornblower
2.Flame and the Arrow, The
3.Sacketts, The
4.Skin Game
5.There Was a Crooked Man

I elected not to list Errol Flynn titles hoping that my choices will be among this yrs. releases.

In addition, the following MGM titles:


1.Beau Brummell
2.Ice Station Zebra
3.Mutiny on the Bounty (Brando)
4.Prisoner of Zenda, The (Granger)
5.Young Bess

- The Kubrick Doc - A Life in Pictures
- Why not the Directors cut of Wyatt Earp?
- Night Moves (with Gene Hackman)
- Widescreen Bridges of Madison County
- A re-master/SE of Outland, the worst looking DVD out there by a major studio, IMO.

I hope Warner Bros. is reading this thread, and if so, thanks for the chat, it was great.

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

I would have inquired about:

Point Blank (John Boorman)
Having a Wild Weekend (John Boorman)
Zabriskie Point
The Man Who Would Be King reissue (non flipper, new transfer)

Fortunately O Lucky Man, the Hunger and a few others were brought up and are coming, so few complaints from this camp.

 

[Bill J]

I would be interested in knowing if Warner has any plans to issue an unedited version of Eyes Wide Shut in Region 1, and if the Kubrick documentary will receive a release outside of the box set.

2010

The sequal to 2001. While not as good a film as 2001, it was a fantastic science fiction film in it's own right, intelligent and believable. I would have really enjoyed asking about this title, but alas, I could not.

 

[JPCinema]

It would be great to have these on DVD:

PETULIA (Julie Christie and George C Scott)

RYANS DAUGHTER (Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, John Mills)

THE NUNS STORY (Audrey Hepburn and Peter Finch)

GRAND PRIX (James Garner and Yves Montand)

INSIDE DAISY CLOVER (Natalie Wood and Robert Redford)

MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris)

GOODBYE MR. CHIPS (Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark )

I LOVE YOU ALICE B TOKLAS (Peter Sellers)

SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL (Natalie Wood, Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda, Lauren Bacall)

SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN (Anthony Quinn)

THE SUNDOWNERS (Robert Mitchum, Deborah Kerr, Peter Ustinov)

THE COMEDIANS (Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Alec Guiness, Lillian Gish, Peter Ustinov, James Earl Jones) Very timely considering the events in Haiti!

 

[MichaelSloan]

I would like to see

Any Lon Chaney Sr. films Warner owns the rights of.

1925 Ben-Hur with Original Score(I believe the score has already been restored, reconstructed and performed live by musicologist Gillian B. Anderson)

All Tarzan Sequels with John Sheffield commentary for 'Tarzan Triumphs' through 'Tarzan and The Huntress' and Gordon Scott commentary for his Tarzan films.


1934 Treasure Island with Jackie Cooper commentary (I think he's still alive)

1934 The Count Of Monte Cristo

1940 The Son of Monte Cristo

1935 The Last Days of Pompeii

The Sea Hawk(1940) special edition

The Thing From Another World special edition

THEM! special editon

Forbidden Planet special edition

George Pal Special Editons such as The Time Machine with improved picture quality, cast commentary and maybe a NEW documentary or two

 

[Kerry Boyce]

Malcolm X . . .

. . . Spike Lee has said that wants to do it and I think he's got a great idea . . . I can't think of a better candidate.

 

[MichaelSloan]

Does anyone know if the Errol Flynn deluxe collection mentioned in the latest chat with Warner will include any films previously unavalable on dvd?

 

[paul_goz]

I would love to get the original 1969 directors cut of Cammell and Roegs Performance. This version was rejected by the execs and was just over 120 minutes.

Ice station zebra is another.

 

[Jay E]

This is a public domain title. Marengo has released it as a double feature with Cyrano De Bergerac. Both prints are excellent for public domain titles.

 

[Mark Pytel]

I really want to see these movies in 16:9 Widescreen

Over the top
Revolution
Cross of Iron ( in original 1:66 ratio if warner even still has the distribution rights)

 

[Dick]

Here's an obscure one: OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE, with Alan Bates and a pre-OLIVER! Mark Lester, directed by Jack (THE INNOCENTS, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, GREAT GATSBY) Clayton. Good thriller, shown only once in a blue moon on TCM, very underappreciated.

 

[Bruce Morrison]

Dick - just as a point of accuracy, 'Our Mother's House' starred Dirk Bogarde, not Alan Bates. I agree it was an interesting film, but it seems to have vanished, at least here in the UK. I recall seeing it at a repertory cinema in Oxford during my university days in the late 60's - that must have been a year or two after its (almost unnoticed) first run. I can't recall any showings on UK television, and I'm pretty sure it's never been released on any home video format here.
