robthehand 3 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 By "old" I mean films you saw theatrically considerably after their original run. My entire list:RebeccaCitizen KaneWest Side StoryGhostbustersSpartacusThunderballThe Spy Who Loved MeI've only discovered a few non-mainstream cinemas recently, but I intend to go a lot more in the future. Hopefully next month I'll add Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpigeon 3 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 From ComingSoon.net - http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14724Source: Warner Home VideoMay 26, 2006Warner Home Video (WHV) announced today that it has acquired worldwide rights to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and plans two new DVD releases of the futuristic classic. Rights had lapsed a year ago, but negotiations for a long-term license have now been completed, and the film will again be available to the public.First, a restored and remastered DVD version of the 1992 Director's Cut will debut in September in the U.S. for a special four-month limited release, after which it will be placed on moratorium by WHV.Later in 2007, to celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, the studio will unveil "Blade Runner: The Final Cut," Scott's definitive new version of his science-fiction masterpiece. The film will be released theatrically in select major U.S. cities, followed by a multi-disc Special Edition DVD release which will also contain three alternate versions of Blade Runner: the Original U.S. Theatrical Cut, the Expanded International Theatrical Cut and the 1992 Director's Cut. Ample, ground-breaking bonus features will also be included.In making the announcement, Jeff Baker, WHV's Senior VP and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog, said: "This is clearly Ridley's signature film and we are thrilled to have it back. While details of the new DVDs will be announced later, we wanted to get this great news to the many serious film buffs and ardent 'Blade Runner' fans who've been so patient, despite besieging us with thousands of annual requests in recent years for new 'Blade Runner' DVDs."Continued Baker, "A number of people have told me that in the start-up days of DVD, 'Blade Runner' was absolutely the first DVD title they wanted, so much so that they purchased it even before their first DVD player! I guarantee these fans our new DVDs will be well worth waiting for."Blade Runner -- starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos and Daryl Hannah -- made its first appearance in U.S. theaters on June 25, 1982, dazzling audiences with its stylish, brooding look into the future. From its intelligent, provocative story line to its stunning camera work and state-of-the-art special effects, Blade Runner opened the door to a new view of tomorrow.Set in a multi-ethnic, overcrowded, high-tech city of the future, Blade Runner was also a benchmark in production design and helped propel the "cyberpunk" look into mainstream American consciousness.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Fortunately, there is the Louisville Palace Theater nearby, and every summer they have a classic movie series.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It was wonderful to see it on the "big screen". It wasn't really all that big as it was shown at a local arthouse cinema. Still, great film, great to see it in a cinema!The Criterion set IS expensive. I was given it as a birthday present from two friends who clubbed together to get it for me.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Whoa, new Criterion DVD is $50 from Amazon. I never knew it was that much. 8O What the hell is there in that set that's worth that much?Disk 1 is a lovely DVD transfer of the definitive version of the movie. This is the version that was released in the UK (with a shot of clouds at the very beginning that wasn't there before). There's the usual hysterical stream-of-consciousness audio commentary from Gilliam. Anyone who has listened to a Gilliam audio commentary before will know exactly what I mean!Disk 2 is what Criterion do so very well. A handful of excellent documentaries about the making of the film, and retrospectives from people involved in the legendary "Battle for Brazil". In other words, Gilliam's fight to get the USA to release the film uncut, without completely changing the meaning of his film! Michael Kamen has a nice segment on the second DVD also. One of the best aspects of disk 2 is all the Gilliam-drawn storyboards for the unmade dreamsequences. Oh my! What an amazing film this would have been had Terry had the time and money to realise all the sequences in these storyboards!Disk 3 is the least valuable. It presents the awful hacked-to-shreds version of Brazil that the US originally wanted to put out, against Gilliams wishes. It's 48 minutes shorter, VERY dumbed down, very anticlimactic, and just is a terrible experience. It's included in this set only to demonstrate WHY it was so important that Gilliam's film be presented in it's correct format. To be honest I got so upset about 10 minutes into watching it that I had to stop. This version of the film has an audio commentary by Gilliam expert David Morgan. I haven't heard it as I can't bring myself to watch athe bastardized version of Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,177 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Kevynova's response was perfectly valid as "old" is not defined within the context of this thread.Actually, it is very much defined:By "old" I mean films you saw theatrically considerably after their original run.Which basically also defines "big screen". Because otherwise, I would add that a projector allows you to watch old movies on your own big screen, sometimes with better sound (thanks to mediocre to poor theatre equipment, especially for those theatres which actually show old movies) and cleaner picture (thanks to DVD restorations). I've seen many classics that way. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I would have traded in theStar Wars: SE Trilogy for the chance to see a good print of Raiders theatrically, or North By Northwest, or Psycho.
