Yes-NY has gotten hipper to retro movies. I miss the Thalia that not only ran retros but showed premieres of flms that never had a real release in theaters-HOMEBODIES , DANDY-THE ALL AMERICAN GIRL , VISIT TO A CHIEFS SON-I practically lived there. We were probably seeing POSSESSION at the same...

I was aware of the Bertolucci festival but unfortunately missed it. I am a Manhattanite and my latest weekend jollies have been to try and see 70s/80s movies in thater retrospectives that i was too young to catch in theaters as a kid. LA always has more interesting revivals-but I've caught TAXI...

A great story! A part of cinema history .PHAR LAP was one of my favorite movies when it was shown quite alot on HBO. It didnt catch on in theaters in the Summer of 1984 when another little movie became an unexpected blockbuster from Fox that Summer-THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY. I'm a sucker for horse...

THE SALZBURG CONNECTION was not a topnotch thriller, Fox was trying to prime Newman as a star after the success of VANISHING POINT a year earlier. Petrocelli was a shortlived tv series based on a Paramount movie-THE LAWYER(never on video but on Netflix streaming and quite compelling)(another...

I missed that airing also. HBO was very daring in its time-although I do not think LUNA ever caused a controversy on the scale of HBOs aborted showing of GOING PLACES.How far we've come as PLACES is now on Netflix streaming.

1977 was a mini renaissance in animation. Besides RAGGEDY ANN -there was Bakshi's WIZARDS, Barretto's ALLEGRO NON TROPPO ; Disneys first in 4 years-THE RESCUERS (as well as live/animated PETES DRAGON) ; RACE FOR YOUR LIFE CHARLIE BROWN is fondly reembered and THE FANTASTIC ANIMATION FESTIVAL...

Sorry about the way I listed-i was trying to conserve space. I thought lists like this would let people know whats still unreleased in u.s. I believe LUNA stands a chance of a possible Criterion release. With Fox now controlling the MGM library they technically have Bertolucci's LAST TANGO IN...

So RAGGEDY is controlled by Paramount. We may get it after all-at least on streaming. Thanks for clearing that up. I never understood how this hasnt become a classic.

Thanks. I changed that. BFI Flipside has some great titles, including JOANNA -another lost Fox release. 60s Fox releases such as THE GURU and others nevcer made it to video here either. Between Arrow and BFI -the Brits are kicking our butts with great catalog releases. And very nice...

I meant 2nd Oscar-COMING HOME was not one of my favorites-he deserved it much more as the iconic Joe Buck in MIDNIGHT COWBOY

Jon Voight showed his range. Both CONRACK and GAME are vastly different in tone-yet he creates two distinct portraits. He was robbed of an Oscar nom for CONRACK (as was Poitier in 67 for TO SIR WITH LOVE). I believe Angelina Jolie cited CONRACK as her favorite film of her fathers. To look at him...

Fox is the slowest to release their catalog titles and many of the films they distributed are with other companies now. They also have the most never on video releases. Here is a list from 1970-1990: AP=Amazon H=Hulu NF=Netflix NOV=Never on video (S)=Sout (F)=Fox (T)=twilight (C)=Criterion-where...
