What Forgotten Films do you want on Blu ray or 4K? (1 Viewer)

[JamesSmith]

Pat Boone's The Perils of Pauline. Silly late sixties comedy. Never out on VHS, DVD or Blue Ray. Maybe not the greatest film, but I'd like to see it on disc.

I think it's time I made my usual choice: The Hell With Heroes, which does now seem to have been forgotten.

Re: LONE STAR, I'm pretty sure Criterion has it. I believe THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH has recently been remastered in 4K as well.

The Perils of Pauline was the precursor to 1969's The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop

more titles needing some restoration and get them out of the hands of the Bootleggers!!!

Silly film. Catchy theme song. Non-serious as non-serious can be. Wish it caught on more.

That would be nice, but I wonder if it's something that Sony has done with an eye toward including it in another UHD collection.

Would love for these to get the 4K treatment.

3 more recent entries from the 90's:

Trapped in Paradise [under-rated Christmas movie starring Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Nicolas Cage]
The Last Brickmaker in America [Sidney Poitier's last role]
Walking Across Egypt [excellent performance from Ellen Burstyn]

Gunn (1967) hasn’t had an official disc release. As one who has enjoyed watching the earlier TV series, Peter Gunn, on DVD, I wish this film would finally become available on Blu.

I would love it, too. When I asked the Kino Lorber Insider about it some years back -- in The Other Site (may not have been the current Insider) -- he said there were issues keeping it from home video. A bit vague, but I suspect music clearances are the culprit.

I did some searching. There was a comment by the (presumably current) KL Insider last May saying "GUNN has a large music clearance price tag attached to it. At least it did a few years ago."

Speaking of the great Ellen Burstyn, how about some overdue regard for her splendid performance in Resurrection (1980), with Sam Shepard, Richard Farnsworth, and a rare film appearance by Eva Le Gallienne. I tracked down a DVD copy, but this touching story is deserving of a rediscovery (both Burstyn and Le Gallienne were Oscar nominated) and it needs a Blu-ray release.

There is one. Universal put out a pressed-MOD Blu-ray three years ago. One of their minimal effort deals: no menu, and subtitles can only be turned on via the remote. It should be available at Amazon, maybe GRUV.

I couldn’t find it on a cursory Amazon search, just a different DVD than the one I got several years ago. Presumably it wasn’t restored in any way being that bare bones. I’ll keep digging, thanks.
Edit: You’re right, one did come up beyond the DVD. Much appreciated. I highly recommend the film. It deserves a better release than a MOD not remastered.

You'll get no argument from me. I get weepy just thinking about the ending. After Criterion released Seconds, I thought that they'd be just right to release a terrific disc of Resurrection (the two movies are written by the same person: Lewis John Carlino). Universal never seemed to understand how to market the film.

Totally agree. Carlino was also responsible for The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea, which surprisingly Scorpion did release a couple of years ago on Blu-ray, though I haven’t gotten it. (I saw a pre-release showing at the USA Film Festival which Carlino himself attended and fielded questions). But all that brings me to I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, with a superb leading performance by Kathleen Quinlan, for which Carlino co-wrote the screenplay. As best I can tell, that has gone wanting for a Blu-ray release.

Would love for these to get the 4K treatment.

Sony owns Krull, they could release it themselves or could be licensed out to Shout Factory or another company.

WB re-releases The Never Ending Story quiet enough that they would likely do a 4K box of junk edition for it.

Shout Factory would be your best choice/chance for It Came From Hollywood as they've released other compilation films such as Terror In The Aisles.
