What's the status of your favorite movies on DVD? (1 Viewer)

Thought of this while reading another thread. Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder is not on DVD and I don’t think that the 3-D version is available at all.

[Darren H]

How is it possible that, five years after the debut of this format, there still isn't a single film by Robert Bresson or Satyajit Ray available on DVD?

 

[Rain]

I'd also like to see Malle's Vanya on 42nd Street.

And you will. Columbia Tristar is releasing it on September 24.
I've heard it's supposed to be anamorphic widescreen. Hopefully so...you never know with Columbia Tristar these days. :rolleyes

 

[SteveGon]

Jim, great list! I'd buy most of those...
That's good news concerning Vanya on 42nd Street.

And you will. Columbia Tristar is releasing it on September 24.
I've heard it's supposed to be anamorphic widescreen. Hopefully so...you never know with Columbia Tristar these days.

Well, you would think they'd realize that it's not exactly a J6P title.

[Jim_K]

Thank you. It seems you have excellent taste in films.
I do have an update for one of the films on my list:
State of Grace 1990 (MGM) change that :frowning: to a
Coming out in Dec. according to thedigitalbits.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Several Scorsese titles remain unavailable:
The King of Comedy (in production, but has been delayed several times)
After Hours
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
And don't even get me started on the Scorsese movies that have been released on DVD that have yet to be done right! :rolleyes

 

[Jim_K]

Rob,
2003 will probably be the year for Scorsese. I think the studios are waiting for Gangs to come out for the ever important marketing tie-in.
There have been many rumors of them working on After Hours, King of New York, Goodfellas SE, Raging Bull SE, Mean Streets SE all of which are must haves for me.
Though I haven't read anything about Casino which also deserves the SE treatment IMO.

 

[Andrew_Sch]

There are several movies that I desperately want to see but haven't been able to because they're not out of DVD yet. Among them are:

-The Indy Trilogy
-Schindler's List
-The Pawnbroker
-The African Queen
-Hud
-Miller's Crossing
-The Sting
-Treasure of the Sierra Madre
-The Grapes of Wrath

[SteveGon]

Agh! The Ninth Configuration has been delayed until 9/17! Not that much longer a wait but why does this always happen to the one title you've been waiting for?

 

[Brian Lawrence]

My top 10 of alltime
01. Accidental Tourist Damn it Warner!!!
02. Manhattan okay dvd but I am still not 100% sure of the framing
03. Cries and Whispers Perfect dvd from Criterion.
04. City Lights Excellent dvd from Image
05. Bicycle Thief The current Image disc is decent but I would love a Criterion.
06. Potemkin The current dvd is probably as good as the film will ever look
07. Pinocchio I would love a 2 disc SE but as long as I have a nice disc of the movie, I am a happy camper.
08. Persona I thought MGM where to be releasing a restored version a while back?
09. Empire Strikes Back I don't think I will ever get to see the unaltered version on dvd and that folks really gives me the red-ass!!!
10. Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea (made for TV) Current crappy canadian discs won't do, I want nice remastered versions, that these great films deserve .

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Rob,
2003 will probably be the year for Scorsese. I think the studios are waiting for Gangs to come out for the ever important marketing tie-in.
There have been many rumors of them working on After Hours, King of New York, Goodfellas SE, Raging Bull SE, Mean Streets SE all of which are must haves for me.

Well, I sure hope you are right Jim! It's so hard to believe that so many of this great director's films have not been done properly, or in many cases not even released, on DVD yet!
BTW, I think you meant to say "King of Comedy", not " King of New York"!

 

[Michael*K]

•A Christmas Story--Current release...
•Duel--M.I.A.
•Fleischer's Popeye cartoons
•St. Elsewhere
•Silver Streak
•Missing
•Firefox
•Hoosiers--Better version needed
•Glengarry Glen Ross
•Escape From New York--Special edition desperately needed
•Strategic Air Command
•The Pilot--1979, Cliff Robertson
•The Right Stuff--Definitely deserves a special edition
•Running Brave

Discs that my wife can't wait for

Hey, I can admit to myself that I wouldn't mind seeing Valley Girl on DVD.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

DVD's I want

Star Wars Trilogy
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Back to the Future Trilogy
Batman: SE
The Godfather Part III: The Good Version
Ran

DVD's at the top of the heap

Citizen Kane
