I have to say Paramount's 100 is disappointing. Yes, Wings, To Catch a Thief and Chinatown are welcome releases. But Hondo? Which WAS originally released by Warner instead of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or his last film The Shootist? Or what about Hatari? There are countless Paramount...
I was just at Best Buy Burbank and they added some Paramount titles in the 7.99 bin. Quite a few were considered out of print. Amongst the titles, Fatal Attraction, Payback, Black Rain, Nacho Libre, Dreamgirls, The Untouchables, The Warriors, Disturbia, Eagle Eye, Blades of Glory, Indecent...
I did not know that about Belle de Jour and I guess Pierrot le fou is not big enough seller to stay out of circulation because the 2 retailers I mentioned it is still readily available. Studio Canal must not be hoarding all the titles though, because Léon Morin, Priest was released by Criterion...
I think I read that Uni was going through with restorations of the Hitchcock titles before releasing them on Blu ray. A few of them really looked bad on DVD. I'd rather them not rush anything out and take time in doing them correctly. The Birds was talked about for 2011 so I would guess we would...
I'm thinking they are not continuing with releases through Lionsgate. There is a Belle De Jour hint from Criterion and Pierrot le fou seems to be available again through Amazon and Barnes & Nobel.
So far my haul has consisted of these Blu ray titles, Vivre Sa Vie, Naked, Beauty and the Beast, People on Sunday, Everlasting Moments, Black Moon, The Magician and pre-order of High & Low. I may snatch a couple more titles before the sale ends.

I currently have about 715 blu ray titles. I'm not ready to throw in the towel, I hate streaming and Digital Copies. I love having the disc and love having a film library. Honestly, I cannot imagine a world without any type of physical disc to own and hope I a right. My opinion is we will...
I'm going with Paul Schrader's CAT PEOPLE; It fits the criteria of what Criterion releases. It is quirky and has cult following, they have a good working relationship with Schrader and they release quite a few Universal titles. Kinski turns into a panther and wears a slip that is like the one...
I'm pretty sure you are correct. "Graffiti" was financed by Universal and was made before Lucas was a name. Ditto with Spielberg with Jaws, Duel, Sugarland Express. It is a shame about this title, other reviews have confirmed this. Not sure what is with Universal and Blu ray, they started...
I was at Best Buy yesterday and picked up a couple 4 FAVORITES COLLECTIONS from Universal for $4.99 each. These 2 I picked up; they are 2 discs sets with 2 films dual layered on each disc. No extras and there is not a chapeter menu. 4 Movie Marathon: Classic War Collection (Wake Island...
