Does anyone have an idea when WB Archives might start releasing tv shows again?

--jthree

[timk1041]

I will add to the list of great titles already mentioned by others: Any Red Skelton titles including the Whistling In The Dark trilogy and the Andy Hardy films. Not sure if these were mentioned earlier in the thread.

 

[tsodcollector]

maybe jamie foxx the final season,and maybe la femme nikita seasons 2-5 rereleases,and scarecrow and mrs.king seasons 2-4 rereleases.that will be great.

this thread is primarily for Warner Archives and not WB in general, but maybe go to that WB thread and ask...it never hurts to ask, right?

[Bill Huelbig]

Still find it hard to believe I own a Blu-ray of The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. Now I'm hoping the same for Ryan's Daughter.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA is no longer owned by WB…Embassy International (aka Regency) and I believe Lionsgate now own the film, with Disney holding video distribution rights.

Much appreciated for that info. Crap, this would explain why the previous Warner Blu-ray is going for high prices on Amazon Marketplace and the like (thanks, scalpers!), as well as being represented thereabouts with Japanese and other territories' Blu-ray releases of the film.

--And, of course, Di$ney has to get its clammy tentacles all over it, video-wise. That rapacious, mouse-eared behemoth needs a stake driven through its black heart and the soil above and around it salted.

 

[maxfabien]

The 6 remaining Best Picture Oscar winners yet to be released on Blu-ray. Broadway Melody, Cimarron, The Great Ziegfeld, The Life of Emile Zola, Hamlet (1948), and Around the World in 80 Days. All were WB releases on dvd except for Hamlet (Criterion). In addition I'd like a Blu-ray release of Beyond the Forest (WB) and The Abyss (20th).

 

[OLDTIMER]

With DVD and Blu-ray sales on an ever declining slope, it's sad that most of the wish lists here must be seen as wishful thinking. It's tragic, but our days are numbered.

 

[tsodcollector]

i've been going strong since 2009,and i've been doing it ever since.

 

[billO']

What I'd most like to see is WB get off their high horse and license a bunch of films to Criterion so their re-releases could receive proper SE treatments.

Too expensive to restore? Ask The 3-D Film Archive to do it.

Around the World in 80 Days, Raintree County (uncut), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (‘69), Random Harvest, The Devils (as uncut as possible), Ryan’s Daughter, Land of the Pharaohs, Pennies from Heaven, and someone mentioned Last Summer (with the exceptional, devastating supporting performance of Catherine Burns).

The Fox

I like a bunch of your choices, but THE FOX is an especially interesting one for me. I saw it in 1968, in a twin cinema that had two very large (for a neighborhood theater) curved screens, and special lenses to correct for the curve. In those days, a bunch of my friends and I would drive to this theater almost every single week to see whatever happened to be showing. I came into this movie cold, but I liked the abstract poster art, and I was intrigued. That it was based on a D.H. Lawrence novella meant nverothing to me, as I hadn't read any of his work (I am fairly certain I still haven't!).

I don't recall, but I am guessing the audience was small for this presentation, a relative handful in the 600-seat auditorium. And, from the start, I was mesmerized. I have never been a fan of Lalo Schifrin's music, but it was all part of the spell the movie cast upon me from the opening sequence. The camera work for the winter setting -- an isolated farm in Canada -- is moody, mysterious, beautiful. I got the metaphor of the fox fairly early-on. The symbolism is a bit overt and at times annoying, but I came away with a kind of crush on Anne Haywood, and realised that Keir Dullea could act!

I would pounce on a blu-ray reease of this.

Thanks Dick, for the childhood memories, those are what gave all of us the love of movies. I know it was in my case, growing up in LA. Here the movies were all round me, yet it was mainly in the hometown movie palaces, like the Covina Theater, that my first memories of my favorite movies were forged.

Yeah...THE WILD BUNCH on 4K, from a brand new negative scan.

Yep, I would want this, though from Warner Bros.' main home video line, or even Criterion Collection, since I am not sure WAC does 4K UHD releases.
