No man looks disheveled when experiencing moments of great happiness. Nice capture, there, Josh. :thumbs-up-smiley:

2024. The year I stopped deluding PMF into believing that his “wants” list of BD purchases will ever become shorter. Heck, I wasn’t even aware of this series until now; so that’s 5 volumes added right there. Okay, then, keep ‘em coming and I shall keep supporting.:thumbs-up-smiley:

Always good to slow it down when reading at a glance. For a minute there, I had thought that Criterion released an unbeknownst to me 4K of Rolling Thunder Review. Anyway, I also like Rolling Thunder (and even Tropic Thunder), so all is well with the world.

Practically any beautifully gorgeous unknown model who has had two semesters of acting training and is now living in Europe.:biggrin:

People who begin a sentence with, “I don’t mean to impose…”, yet then proceeds to do exactly that.

One could only wish that Battle of Britain and everything else ever lit by Freddie A. Young could find its way onto a 4K/UHD disc. Heck, even a BD on other unreleased F. A. Young titles would be welcomed at this point.

The 1936 version of 3 Godfathers - which is quite a Bonus Feature and gift to have in this package from WAC - was directed by Richard Boleslawski. This is the same Richard who penned and published “Acting: The First Six Lessons” (1933). The alternate spelling of his name, on this tiny and...

A 4K/UHD of a film musical bearing a credit for Fred Hynes as its “Stereophonic Re-recording Supervisor” and, interestingly, Loyal Griggs for “2nd Unit Photography” ain’t altogether a chop-liver project. Sure, Paint Your Wagon has its moments of quirks and flaws, but “who gives a damn”, it’s a...

As a Thank You to WAC for this restoration and release of The Nuns Story, I will purchase the entire roster of April’s offerings to show my support of this specific undertaking. Years ago, The Nuns Story was reported as being a very problematic and/or expensive restoration; to which many...

Kino Lorber has gained so mightily in their 4K/UHD output. If WAC, Warner’s or Criterion are not going to jump at Ryan’s Daughter, then maybe Kino Lorber should give some considerations towards a release.

What’s so wrong about posters expressing their joys, in the first place? Nothing. Happiness is a good thing. Hey, Kino, count me in for a purchase of Paint Your Wagon, too. Thank you, Matt, for a well balanced review.

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto…and OMG !!! P.S. Why didn’t AMPAS have Jodie Foster, Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese reunite on the stage by jointly opening an envelope? Like, maybe, for the predictable and deserving Wes Anderson win. That would’ve been great, as Mr. Scorsese had made a few short...

Funny thing, but I thought it was perfection, too. Even grabbed the vinyl soundtrack. These are just one of those films where you wonder why it wasn’t bigger. Was it the critics, was it the timing of its release and what else had opened that week, or was it ahead of its time? Too many...

Excellent review, Mr. Erwin.:thumbsup:

Just a footnote of clarification for the general reader. Piracy is not limited to Blu rays. DVDs have also fallen prey to traffickers. Moving forward, I am envious of your having been able to experience any of the 70mm presentations of Ryan’s Daughter; inclusive of viewing the coveted Swedish...

Sold !!!

The harms done concern the first round of monies spent by the often unaware consumer. It’s also about where the monies have gone to; as well as the damages that have been inflicted. Please refer to: https://www.brentonfilm.com When visiting this above site, go to its search engines for a...

Between Pardner and Ben Rumson, it always surprised me that Elizabeth never became pregnant. Or did she? It’s never too late. There are still some great opportunities here for a sequel. FILE UNDER: Paint Your Stroller

‘Tis always good in life to have a “target” date.😃

Indeed, life before the internet had offered an array of many wonderful Christmas-like excitements and anticipations for all.

No doubts there. The markets are inundated and the consumers are overwhelmed. To what ends shall Amazon be categorized as “knowingly” - in terms of specific disc titles which come out of Spain - may forever remain unknown. But, at least here, and on this thread, we have identified for readers...

I am not an authority towards the answer of John Sparks question, but I have heard that the greatest costs of making a film are the actual magazines and celluloid stocks which are used by the cameraman.

I consider myself lucky, as I never saw Aliens. With no points of reference, I’ll be able to just sit back and enjoy. A rare opportunity. Love my 4K/UHD of Alien (singular) and now can finally bridge the gap with Aliens (plural); as I am now years later interested in exploring the post and...

How does one De-Grain a dessert?🤔

For the first time ever, believe it or not, I am going to suggest to everyone that they seek out Ryan’s Daughter on the streaming channels. Far better to do that - while waiting for a true and legal BD - than to be aiding the bootleg traffickers. It is the only option, which is far more...

Bootlegs are not supported on this thread, nor should they be encouraged. Yet, with that said, this bootleg from Spain should serve as yet another reminder to WAC or Warner’s that they need to get their product out there, Thanks Indy Guy, your heart was in the right place. Hmmmm, btw Indy...

Well, at least with these three films being discussed, The Greatest Story Ever Told offers a happy medium; as John Wayne and David Lean also took part in the shaping of this film.

So, after theory, Ryan’s Daughter is in the better position of being released on BD before The Alamo and The Greatest Story Ever Told for one clear reason. Ryan’s Daughter is the only property in the possession of Warner’s. Warner’s is not faced with this question of a preservational triage as...

I wish most of the rumors of the world could be as useful and as uplifting as this news from OliverK. Nice.

I would rather see The Alamo restored and saved by Robert Harris, before seeing a release of Ryan’s Daughter. I know of it’s history, but have not seen an honest viewing of the film. Save The Alamo, because it’s an important piece of film history for reasons too long to post and already known...
