After seeing Fassbinder's magnificent work for Quentin Tarantino, I immediately put this into a queue. Your review has upped the anticipation ante.

According to the Cast Album Recording List, Max Preeo states that SOUND OF MUSIC will arrive on Blu-Ray just in time for Christmas.

After the gorgeous transfers of NORTH BY NORTHWEST, GONE WITH THE WIND and THE WIZARD OF OZ, here's hoping Warner tackles this David Lean epic with the same care. Rumor has it that ZHIVAGO is in the works, with a boxed set to rival those of GWTW an TWoO, and that the limited edition box could...

"The Director’s Cut of The Last Picture Show is actually the original, albeit unreleased, version of the film. At 126 minutes the studio decided that it was too long, and the director was forced to cut seven minutes of footage. This version appears to be identical to both the 1991 Criterion...

Doris here: TCM Spotlight: Doris Day Collection : DVD Talk Review of the DVD Video

"What do you guys think of this scene, where Pinocchio's yellow shirt turns white, and then is splotchy white/yellow, and then yellow again?" I always thought it was the animators chose to animate the effect of that solo spot of theatrical lighting. . .

Thank you for your very insightful and respectful review. It is obvious that you though very long and hard about SALO, as one should, before dismissing it.

I took a chance and dropped into my local Best Buy today. Sure enough, there was an endcap with the second wave titles, marked BEST BUY EXCLUSIVE. Alas, no DESPERATE CHARACTERS, but did pick up MANDINGO, THOSE DARING YOUNG MEN and HOUDINI.

I thought the smilebox demos were on the KING KONG (1933) dvd. . . :confused:

I just finished watching it, too. My eyes always tear up at the shot of the Straus couple on their bed, whenever I'm in NYC, I, too, take the walk to Straus park.

Fox could also send us SAY ONE FOR ME.

Controversial Classics Volume 3, anyone?

Don't know if we're allowed to mention a certain site here, one that contains many home-made video clips, but that site also contains many clips from Preminger's PORGY & BESS.

What's up with the opening credit sequence though? As dvdsavant stated, it looks as if those credits are 4:3 while the film itself is 2.35:1.

Sounds like a combination of SALO and PINK FLAMINGOS! Once again, excellent review, Matt!

Matt - I'm thoroughly enjoying your reviews, and this one is an exceptional addition to your ouevre. (Must add this to my Netflix queue as soon as possible).

I took a couple of minutes to check out the streaming, and found that HEARTBEEPS (Bernadette Peters & Andy Kaufman) was presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Also noticed that LILI, though not available on dvd, is available for streaming on Netflix.

THE BLACK DAHLIA has a great soundtrack, that's one positive thing about it.

Are all of Luise Rainer's films available on dvd?

Personally - I agree with you one hundred percent! It's the Pan film that I keep returning to over and over again. It also makes a great double bill with FINDING NEVERLAND.

Doris Day has refused an Oscar on almost a yearly basis. I wish that she'd change her mind this year. . .

"Whoah. Are those shots at the same moment? What happened on the left and right sides? A lot more information on the right, that's for sure." Not to mention the additional space on the top and bottom!

The new ULTIMATE BOND series features DTS tracks on all of the films, doesn't it? That's twenty new DTS tracks. . .

For anyone who bought the new King and I, can you go to 110:11 into the film (Shall We Dance) have the "Singalong Subtitles" on and tell me if your DVD jumps around. It seems to only happen when the "Singalong Subtitles" are visible. No other subtitles and it doesn't matter what audio track you...

hours later, it's working for me now. . .

whay does dvdbeaver now require a password?

MYSTERIOUS SKIN remains one of my favorite films from last year, or any year. Yes, it is a bit of a downer, but, it is Araki's finest moment. IMHO.

Thanks, Herb! I had originally planned for the two Doris Day flicks as well as KING'S ROW, but after your review, it's the whole set for me!

Some people think it has everything to do with STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.

Actually, so does the HTF: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...&postcount=270
