What re-issues do you wanna see in 2002 and why? (1 Viewer)

[Rob Tomlin]

Goodfellas

Pulp Fiction

Raging Bull

Amadeus

Blade Runner

Because they all need anamorphic transfers (except Amadeus, which simply needs a BETTER transfer).

 

[Brook K]

Fox Lorber to let Criterion take over their library and reissue everything properly.

 

[LukeB]

Ghostbusters II

Home Alone

Big

Happy Gilmore

The Green Mile

Should be coming:

Office Space

Jerry Maguire

Rain Man

Goodfellas

Amadeus

The Iron Giant

 

[David Illingworth II]

Waterworld (3 hour cut!)

Frighteners SE (with the success of LOTR it seems like this one would be a natural?!)

Babe SE

I gotta say though, I'm pretty thankful for the Tombstone and Groundhog Day SE. Those were the absolute top of my lists for a long time.

[Mark Anthony]

What great choices people, put me down for these as well...

Anamorphic and 5.1 (where appropriate) on all the following:

Dune - plus many extras especially doc and deleted scenes

The Wild Bunch

Cross of Iron - the full uncut version, canal plus & warner have released a 16*9 version in europe

Crimson Tide

Enemy of the State

The Getaway (Sam Peckinpah)- the current version is 16*9 but the transfer quality is appaling, this need's digital restoration from a better quality element

The Dirty Dozen - this need's a new transfer with 5.1 sound remixed from the 70mm blow-up stems

Copland

La Femme Nikita - french language in 5.1 please MGM and new subtitles worth reading this time....

Grosse Point Blank

Midnight Run

Tremors

Backdraft

Scarface

Happy Gilmore

Hard Boiled - given the probable state of the best elements of this and "The Killer" - a full digital restoration of a new hi-def 16*9 master would solve the criterion editions picture probs...

Jack Ryan Trilogy

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Almost forgot,

give me a 16x9 version of Lynch's Dune...both the theatrical cut and *his* (not yet produced) director's cut.

Oh, just about anything from the former Winstar Video. They were the only source for some great forgin films, and typically butchered them. I really don't know why they went out of their way to do pan and scan, or non-OAR dvd, or if they were in OAR, why not anamorphic. Most of these films were likely to be purchased by us, the film fanatic, not by J6P.

I hope that the new owners will revisit the library, get good prints, and restore if nessisary. Maybe aim at a more criterion type release.

HUH, looks like someone else had the same idea. Yeah, lets have Criterion take over the library!

 

[MichaelG]

All needing Anamorphic transfers
Home Alone
Scream
Good Fellas
Pulp Fiction
not mentioned so far
The Game
Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles
Romancing the Stone

 

[Jon_B]

Stargate and Batman

 

[Mark Zimmer]

The Vacation movies in OAR

Sharky's Machine in OAR

All of the P&S crap that Warner put out, in OAR

Amadeus non-flipper

Das Boot non-flipper

Goodfellas non-flipper

Color Purple non-flipper

Geez, Warner can't do much right, can it? (Yes, I know Das Boot isn't Warner)

 

[SteveGon]

I'll second Bob Graham's plea for reissues of The Wild Bunch and Cross of Iron. I'd also like to see Paths of Glory reissued with supplements including a commentary by Kirk Douglas (while he's still with us).

 

[Dave H]

The following are ones that I consider a "must":

Unforgiven

Batman

Goodfellas

Raging Bull

Scarface

Casino

These are ones that would be nice:

Crimson Tide

Boyz in the Hood

 

[John Kilduff]

-"Xanadu: Collector's Edition" (OAR)

-"Scarface" (OAR with Moroder soundtrack intact)

-"Night Shift" with a theatrical trailer and Ron Howard commentary (Current transfer is OAR, I think)

-"Arthur", The "Vacation" movies and the "Grumpy Old Men" movies (OAR, with new extras)

-"Moonstruck" (OAR, with commentary and trailer from the current disc intact)

-"The Color Of Money"-Special Edition (OAR)

-Is it true that "Poltergeist" is getting an SE?

Sincerely,

John "OAR is the mark of quality!" Kilduff

 

[Dmitry]

As long as wishful thinking is permitted, I'd like new anamorphic transfers of the following:
Amarcord
Andrei Rublev (I know about the Ruscico version, but I prefer the cut Criterion has released)
Pretty Woman
Bruce Lee Collection
I understand there's a good chance to see Speed and True Lies re-released as well as Pulp Fiction but I'll mention them just the same. While I'm at it: A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More are definitely on my list, too. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves would be great, too.
Now off to less meaningful movies (but guilty pleasers nonetheless):
Time Cop, Sudden Death and a full cut of Hard Target. What the heck, I'll even take Commando.
There's more but most of that has already been mentioned a few times in this thread, so I'll stop here.

 

[Ed St. Clair]

I hate saying this, as the title already has four versions on the street. But I still get a chill with the Exorcist!

1. DTS 6.1 soundtrack from The Version You Never... .

2. Seamless Branching; maybe of every scene [we could make-up our own versions!].

3. Restored transfer [ala Snow White, Romper Stomper, or Fantasia].

4. Two discs, one movie & one extras.

5. Keepsake.

 

[Dave Miller]

Just one title from Warner would make me happy:
Chariots of Fire: Special Edition
OAR, Remastered/Restored, 16x9, DD 5.1, docs, ect.
Come on Warner, get with it! This movie was nominated for 7 Oscars and won four of them including Best Picture.
Peace,
DM
PS - also another vote for Amadeus.

 

[Neil Joseph]

I would love to see a 2 disk special edition of Deep Impact so I can learn how they made the movie. Plus I would like to see some documentaries on there with real-life material on near Earth misses, comet/meteor impact dynamics, the extinction of the dinosaurs, etc etc etc.

 

[Paul Chi]

I would like to see:

Titanic SE - Anamorphic with lots of extras

Scream - Anamorphic and the director's cut

Top Gun - Anamorphic with extras

Backdraft - extras please

Good Will Hunting - Anamorphic

Clueless - with extras and a director commentary please

 

[Jim Tudor]

The following are all titles I haven't bought yet, and am holding out for better versions:

Pulp Fiction

GoodFellas

Scarface

Babe

I know the first thre are supposedly on the way, so hooray for that! (Let's just hope "Scarface" has it's original soundtrack...)

It would be nice to see all those non-anamorphic Criterions redone anamorphic, but I'm not holding my breath.
