With gratitude, I would like to post a note of deeply regarded thanks to Ron Epstein and all of the HTF members who - beginning with benbess - so kindly expressed their concerns not only for my own well being, but for that of all others who sometimes become long-absent during these very edgy...

That would be the expertise of Grover Crisp; la magnifica; which is why I’m ultimately and thoroughly enjoying the ride. To say it, again, I am sensing a series that is evolving into something of a larger mosaic.

Very interesting, Robert, as this is a consideration I had not even contemplated; but since your overview is greater in experience than mine, I’ll just have to accept that reality and learn to roll with the times. I am fortunate, as I know that all 6 titles will ultimately be enjoyed for their...

The strength of Volumes One & Two is that we now have a12-film gain in favor of the 4K/UHD format. The handicap of Volumes One & Two is that it holds consumers hostage, for those who may only want 2, 3 or 4 of its titles at a pre-fixe price. If Columbia Pictures Classics were to simultaneously...

Within these regions, the knee-jerk reaction of “why not this instead?” is part and parcel to any and all announcements, for as far back as I can remember. It never seems to fail. No doubts, we are indeed an insatiable, impassioned and fun lovin’ bunch.:thumbs-up-smiley:

Instead of using the word “Classics”; which may have created a minor marketing trap; perhaps the name of the series should had been “Columbia Pictures: Through the Generations in 4K/UHD”. ALL of these titles within both volumes have their merits, importance and place. These sets seems to be...

Does anyone know how many Volumes are being planned for this entire series?

All That Jazz was a Columbia Pictures and 20th Century-Fox joint venture.

Especially when they’ve got: All That Jazz Bugsy Howard’s End More the Merrier (the) Nicholas and Alexandra Places in the Heart Tess …and so on and so on. Yes, it was all about our votes; but who did the actual nominations? That aside, I’m enjoying the series and the unexpected that goes with it.

I’ve always wondered why there is, on average, a three month wait between the announcement of a release and the actual street date. If it’s about building up a word of mouth, wouldn’t the consumers buying it 90 days later consist of the same exact clientele who had read of the event on day one...

To not release the 4K/UHD of “Lawrence of Arabia” as a stand-alone would be “Greedy, barbarous and cruel”.

Interesting, Jake, as “Oliver!” was my first BD purchase from Twilight Time, as well. Lucky thing, as “Oliver!” led me to the finest boutique label and Nick Redman’s world of outstanding selections. As fine as the TT “Oliver!” looked and sounded, only a 4K/UHD restored from the OCN will be...

You talking’ to me?:rolleyes: Well, it’s clearly now a set who’s audience is one that I can no longer second-guess.:cool:

I have fully expected this excellent Columbia Classics series to have its odd-ball inclusions. The pattern is now clear that this shall be the 4K/UHD equivalent to the Kellogg’s Cereal Variety Pack; which will always have its Bran-Flake and Special-K amongst the Frosted Flakes and Sugar Pops...

Yes, but are you also happy to see Stripes?:D

My ideal Volume Three: 1776 Funny Girl Man for All Seasons (A) On the Waterfront Passage to India (A) River Runs Through It (A) __________________________________ Optional Substitutions: Bye Bye Birdie From Here to Eternity Legends of the Fall

Despite the survey, it seems highly unlikely that those who voted for “Stripes” and “ The Social Network” would also be of the same viewership who are willing to commit to a bundle purchasing of “Oliver!”, “Anatomy of a Murder” or “Sense and Sensibility”, as well. ONLY “Taxi Driver” seems to be...

I’m really looking forward to seeing “Oliver!” in the 4K/UHD format; which also is touting a full restoration “from the Original Camera Negative”. Not at all a deal-breaker if absent, but I would be highly interested in knowing if Grover Crisp and his team had located the lost stems...
