Funny Girl is in need of a 4K disc. While there is a 4K streaming version it has no HDR and only 5.1 sound. No Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. The Big Chill is the same . I am sure there are many early 4K streamers in need of an upgrade. Any music heavy soundtracks would benefit especially if they...

Thanks. This opens up another mystery. Is there a list of songs cut from Warner Bros. films sold to Associated Artist Productions (AAP) in the 1950's that have not been put back?
They didn't bother redoing the opening credits of "The Man I Love" and "Bill" is still listed in the song credits...
My error, the show is no longer on Max but is on Peacock. Peacock does not appear to include the 2019 Christmas special which was on Max. Again I hope the new 2024 Christmas special shows up somewhere in the US...

Producers discuss finale in TVline article. Spoilers. I enjoyed it but it was not long enough for the ground they wanted to cover so it seemed rushed and I wanted it to be longer. Needed to be one hour.
While searching for films I was disappointed to see how many films from the 30's and '40's are only available on SD on iTunes.
Films such as
Shop Around the Corner
Libeled Lady
Dinner at Eight
After The Thin Man
Arsenic and Old Lace
and many others. The one's I listed all are available on blu...

I think kind of expensive but I...
"This new Blu-ray presentation restores 6 minutes cut from the film and unseen for nearly seven decades. Now, newly remastered the film can finally be experienced as first shown in its original theatrical release."
So the missing footage was a song sequence. I wonder why it was cut. I guess the...
The problem with releasing season sets of a long running show is the more seasons released, the less copies they sell. From DVD days that lead to many series being incomplete until a boutique label such as Shout finished the series. In some cases it was many years between when the first and...
It could be that the North By Northwest Collector's Edition box set is limited to the UK. That is what happened with "Casablanca." The UK set has a list price of £45.00.
4K only for the US and a box set for the UK. Since 4K discs are region free the box set could be ordered from the UK, if the...
Here is the UK listing for a box set with stuff for the 4K North By Northwest coming later this year. Art work for packaging not finalized.

The VUDU version also has Dolby Atmos. As long as your accounts are linked with Movies Anywhere you get the movie purchased on iTunes on VUDU.
Sleepless in Seattle has apparently upgraded to 4K on VUDU but as of today is still HD on iTunes.
Here is a 2023 TCM intro. Apparently they showed the restored version.

MGM+ formerly called EPIX streaming service is currently showing a few MGM films owned by Warner Bros. like Ben Hur. Their Celebrate 100 years of MGM section is almost all films originally released by UA such as the Great Escape, Midnight Cowboy, and The Apartment.
FYI both May 4th and 5th showings at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica sold out in advance per their website. Theater seats 425 people. Yes to people still selling out movie theaters to see classic movies. It was just 2 weekend 7 PM showings but perhaps the interest will lead to additional...
How many theaters would show this film on their largest screens making the experience akin to seeing the film as it was first released ? In the NY City area once the Ziegfeld Theater closed classic films on large screens disappeared in the area for the most part. Most theaters would show it in...
I wish CBS would release the 2 season Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse as a DVD release or add it to Paramount plus instead of the select episodes as included in the Untouchables Complete Series and the one hour Lucy-Desi shows of which I think 8 of the 13 were part of this series. It includes a...
