Speaking of Bob Fosse choreographed films, please add SWEET CHARITY to the list. I would love to see that released as well as THE PAJAMA GAME and DAMN YANKEES!

I believe that Sweet Charity is from Universal.

Yes those 2 plus Leatherface: TCM III and season 2 of the new tv series Animal Kingdom are the February titles.

Hopefully January and February aren't indicative of 2018 from WAC....only one pre-1980 catalog title in January (The Hanging Tree) and only 2 in February (Harper and The Drowning Pool). The past couple of January's and February's were stacked with Hitchcock, Bogart and usually had 4 solid catalog releases per month. Hopefully, we'll see an uptick in March and beyond, as there's still so much unreleased HD goodness in the WB vaults.

Just off the top of my head (already released from WB under the Archive banner on DVD)

Valley of the Kings
Tip on a Dead Jockey
The Last Hunt
House of the Seven Hawks (yeah I like Robert Taylor)
Jump Into Hell (great if not accurate film of Dien Bien Phu)
A Distant Trumpet (country legend Bobby Bare's only film role)
The Little Drummer Girl
Wheeler Dealers
Corvette Summer

I'd be all in for any of these to get an upgrade.

 

[Konstantinos]

The wait is long and I'm really curious to see what will be the next titles! Are they usually announced mid of month?

 

[dana martin]

is 1980 old enough, Private Benjamin, the dvd is over 20 years old, snapper, pan and scan, how much more needs to be said!

 

[TheSteig]

WAC said they will be announcing titles *SOON* followed by more titles after that.. on their FB page

If you're talking about Wheeler Dealers with James Garner, WAC released it on Blu Ray last year....

Frankly, I am damned tired of being treated like a second-rate citizen because I do no have, nor do I ever plan to sign up for, Facebook. I do not own a cell phone or a smart phone, and therefore don't tweet or twitter. But why are so many companies forcing this technology on us? They are just another tool for private information to be leaded to the world. I've no doubt HTF will be posting their announcements on a "regular" internet page for me to read, but it's alarming how many exclusives on the net are accessible only to those who engage in this dubious activity.

 

[Alan Tully]

Ha, I also don't do facebook or twitter or any of that stuff, but I do have a cell phone (or mobile as we call them here), very handy from time to time.

They use it because it's so simple - they can reach a few million people instantly, and then those people share the info on other media platforms such as message boards.

Just one crumb for the classic historical film fans in the future, WB? Probably not, but before the elements of Helen of Troy, Scaramouche, Ivanhoe, Land of the Pharaohs, The Silver Chalice and Julius Caesar rot away you might at least consider one of these (or anything of your choice in this genre) before all who could appreciate them are dead and in our graves. Universal just announced DeMille's Cleopatra, for God's sake.

 

[Alan Tully]

I have the Warner DVD of Scaramouche (the French DVD, it was never released in the UK), & it looks really good, I assume it's from an HD master, if so, Warner could use that as the master for a Blu-ray. Oh well, I'm sure we'll hear something next week.

 

[RICK BOND]

Why don't they release any more Gangster films from the 30's and 40's ???? : ( Cagney, Bogart, Raft, and Robinson. How long do classic film fans like me have to wait already ??? : (

Bluray should have been invented in the 70s-80s, so we would get more classic films!

Welcome to the 21st Century where internet and social networking are very prominent - there are thousands of followers on the WAC page as well as the FB pages for Shout/ Scream Factory, Kino Lorber, Criterion, Twilight Time Olive Films etc. When they post on Twitter or FB, thw news spreads all over the web like wildfire. Im not a Twitter person , but I do go there.Social Networking is part of our culture at this point. I use it for the sake of news on Blu Rays and UHD. I just read Grease is getting a UHD release in April

I do not resent that Facebook is out there. I resent that I just about have to have it now in order to stay "connected." It's discriminatory. Period. And I still have a landline phone, which works perfectly well, thank you.
