That is sort of my point also. I was part of a generation that grew up with few options regarding film ownership. Today's 18 year old came of age in a world with practically everything available and multiple ways of consuming it. I doubt their will ever be a repeat of the phenomena that made...

With the enormous catalogue of popular music albums available for repressing to new generations of collectors vs the now almost depleted library of popular film catalog titles, it's a very different purchasing market. The film collectors must make due with current theatricals, quality upgrades...

3 from Disney... Sleeping Beauty Mary Poppins 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea... As well as many of the titles mentioned so far like Ben Hur, Dr. Zhivago and Hello Dolly. Paint Your Wagon is so great in 4K, I can only imagine how much more immersive the big classics from the 50's/60's would be if...

Yes. It was titled "The Restless Sea" and was the last of the series airing in 1964. It is not as clever as the Capra produced episodes that preceeded it, but is notable for the deep water bioluminescent animated sea life sequence in the film. Originally created for Disney's 20,000 Leagues...

While I've watched this spectacular 4K disc five times already because I feel the opposite! To me the stage bound operetta on which it is based is excruciating to sit through. The movie brings to life a mythic part of America only its gorgeous setting art direction, choral work and music can...

Can you play 4K 2.35 scope movies using the LG's entire screen? That should be another amazing capability if you can. I went with a native 2.35 projector for the scope advantage alone.

More great material on the making of Paint Your Wagon! http://www.oregonicons.com/paintyourwagon.htm

According to the Paint Your Wagon commentary track, the film made a good amount of money, just not enough to cover its massive production costs. That qualifies it as a bomb in the company of films like Disney's Sleeping Beauty where costs affected initial profitability, but not artistic...

I "like" all of the titles discussed for what they are and have no trouble watching them whenever the opportunity presents itself. However, to equate awards and critical reviews with greatness over lasting value is somewhat shortsighted. The Wizard of Oz would be lost to the dust bin of time if...

The Ten Commandments is the only film from that group that has the honor of still being shown regularly every year on broadcast television. So much for the Awards and critics which fade away with time...If a film still resonates with audience as The Ten Commandments does, that's what is most...

My Oppo player is prone to freezing 4K titles during the 3rd layer of a 100gb disc. Watched the entire extended version of The Abyss last night and there was no glitching anywhere during the entire film. I thought it looked and sounded very impressive.

Like everyone has said, frequent visits were a usual thing for me...even getting there before opening to be sure of picking up a BB limited edition. I have shifted the quest for instant gratification to Barnes and Noble. Their staff is courteous and they offer points for a slight discount. Low...

If this film is classified as a "Musical Comedy", then the clever and comedic songs and dialogue are there to balance the beautiful ballads. I think the balance in the filmed version of Paint Your Wagon is just about right. As for the dance and ballet work prominent on stage, retooling these...

I saw that London version of Dolittle. Julie Andrews recorded the voice of Polynesia the Parrot and the star was Phillip Schofield of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack fame. Peter Gallager had a small part in thi production.

Thanks for confirming the great technical attributes of this transfer, but all of us that love this film (and I can assure you there are more than 10) can't wait for this to be released! I had a friend who had an annual Paint Your Wagon party for many years and there is a nearby BarBQ...

Picked up my copy at Barnes and Noble Thursday night after seeing it was in stock and available for pickup. When I went to the disc area, it was nowhere to be seen. The clerk saw that it was in their computer, but suspected it hadn't been "put out yet"! (a full 2 days after release date). I...

I do not buy non authorized copies from eBay or any other non retail establishments. If the #1 online retailer (Amazon) has been knowingly and very publically selling a major title here in the US for over 8 years, why is it the consumers responsibility to research the pedigree? It's the...

Sad that Wonka didn't go 3D. So many floating chocolates and people with great perspectives. Wonka was capable of being as effective as Hugo in that regard. I guess they didn't have faith in its viability prior to releasing it. I would go again if they released a 3D conversion!

An English version of the German release is also in the works for Mar 25th

Anyone know if this UK March 25 release of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" media book is an upgrade or just a repress of the subpar earlier BR?

Have you checked to see if the subtitles are available for a thumb drive download? If your player has a USB input the subs will show up as "other" on the subtitle menu. They may not be available for bonus material, but I have the French 4K of "Eiffel" and the thumb drive is small enough to keep...

Columbia is mentioned on the box, but Warner probably had the european video distribution deal with Columbia as they both shared the same lot from 1972 until the 90's and were known as The Burbank Studios

"My Movies" adds this info (in French). Colombia is mentioned along with Warner Home Vidio.

If this deluxe French version of Lord Jim is a bootleg, it is the most exquisite one ever made! The included media book is 204 pages and both a DVD & BR are included. Not the best quality BR I own but, entirely within format specs.
