Yavar Moradi 2,604 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 6/14/2021 at 5:00 PM, Disco Stu said: Kind of funny that the only movie scored by John Williams in the Criterion Collection is Valley of the Dolls. It's actually a bit surprising that neither of his Altman movies have been put out by Criterion, they seem like the most likely candidates. Less funny but interestingly there’s also only a single film scored by Jerry Goldsmith in the Criterion Collection — a truly great one in this case: Seconds.

Her family, however, refuses to believe her story, and sees the incident as an opportunity to prove the woman’s mind has snapped so they can take control of her money.

ciarlese 251 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I am checking this post as I am realizing that I have been looking to watch some films scored by John Williams recently with no success. For example I would like to watch The Eiger Sanction, and Fiddler on the Roof, which I have never watched before. Some blu-ray listed here are now difficult to find, or available only in US. And nearly 8 years since the first post we have now several streaming services but it's difficult to know who is offering what, while blu-ray discs seem on a slow decline. Wouldn't it be the case to include streaming service info in this topic maybe? We know the big titles are everywhere, however there are many less known titles who are nearly impossible to find. I was recently able to watch Heidi on youtube, awful video and sound quality but at least I could watch it (although it made me sleep heavily, but that is a different story). Thoughts?

I've always used my Roku search and it will also search across all streaming services for what's available to watch for free or to rent/buy. I've been able to watch a lot of JW films recently, a lot I've never seen before. Alas, still no luck finding Monsignor or SpaceCamp on any streaming service. Never seen Monsignor before and it's been probably 25 years or so since I've seen SpaceCamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throughout the 1970s, a wave of daring disaster movies gripped cinemagoers with their combination of bravura spectacle and “ripped from the headlines” plotlines. Among these, John Frankenheimer’s (The Manchurian Candidate, Ronin) Black Sunday endures to this day as among the cream of the crop. Robert Shaw (Jaws, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) stars as Major Kabakov, an Israeli agent attempting to avert a terrorist atrocity on US soil. The weapon: a blimp laced with explosives and piloted by Michael Lander (Bruce Dern, Silent Running), a troubled Vietnam vet driven to strike back against the nation he believes has betrayed him. The target: the Orange Bowl stadium, Miami. What follows is a nail-biting race against time culminating in a spectacular aerial climax that will determine the fate of 80,000 spectators. Adapted from the best-selling debut novel by Thomas Harris (The Silence of the Lambs) and featuring virtuoso performances by a cast headlined by Dern, Shaw and Marthe Keller (Marathon Man), Black Sunday is a nerve-shredding, best-in-class suspense thriller from a filmmaker at the top of his game. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=357642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this latest order, I added THE BREADWINNER, ROXANNE, SHIRAZ and THIS IS SPINAL TAP. It all averaged out to about $6 a title after shipping. For $3, The Coen Bros. TRUE GRIT is a bargain (and comes with HONDO as a double feature). For $4, there's JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. THE FATAL FIVE if you're a DCAU fan; ZERO THEOREM if you're a Terry Gilliam fan; and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (the older transfer, which I think is fine. EDIT: It's the newer 2018 transfer.) if you don't have it for some reason. $5 gets you EARTHQUAKE (though sadly not the Shout! Factory edition) if you're hunting for more Williams-scored 70s pictures. There are a bunch of STAR TREK releases, though mostly stuff that's since been superseded by the 4K remasters. That's just the sub-$5 stuff. If you click "Power Search" you can scroll through "Select a Publisher" to find boutique labels. Other cheap Arrow titles include THREE BROTHERS and THE WITCHES, though I've seen neither. From Shout! Factory, they have the original MAD MAX Collector's Edition for $5, and $48 is a good price for their release of Cartoon Saloon's IRISH FOLKLORE TRILOGY (it's currently $56 at Amazon and GKIDS). Note that they catalog Scream Factory releases separately from Shout!; you'll find good prices on the Collector's Editions of MISERY and FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN -- and the 1979 Williams-scored DRACULA Collector's Edition is only $18 compared to $23 at Amazon; I'd definitely recommend that one, if you don't have it yet! Hamilton Book also sells music and books (natch), so it's usually well worth your time to shop around -- especially with that flat-rate $4 shipping (I don't know if it goes up when the package volume hits a certain weight, but I've never paid more than that).

Is the newer one not considered an unequivacle upgrade? First of all, I'm wrong -- taking another look, this IS the 2018 remastered version of 2001 that was prepared alongside the 4K release! It's supposedly more accurate to the OCN, though the noticeable differences in aspect ratio and color timing engendered a lot of debate online. (It is also apparently NOT the Christopher Nolan version that was released in theaters a while back, which most consider a good thing.) You can view comparison screencaps for yourself here. Personally, there are some shots I prefer in the older scan and others I prefer in the newer scan. I might have picked this one up had I realized it was the new scan, just so I'd have the option to compare for myself. It's dirt cheap! On the other hand, I may want to have this in 4K at some point, and I believe that comes with the exact same remastered Blu-ray disc as this edition... 1 hour ago, Jay said: What's different about each edition? The Shout! Factory EARTHQUAKE has a new 2K scan of the interpositive and a boatload of special features, including the extended TV cut and a Williams featurette with Jon Burlingame. I don't own either edition, but based on reviews, the older transfer is decent but does exhibit some digital sharpening. Still, if all you want is a watchable copy of the film, the $14 price difference (the Shout! is currently $19 on Amazon) might tip the scales. 1 hour ago, Jay said: I got it for Christmas! Excellent! WOLFWALKERS left me somewhat cold, despite the typically beautiful animation -- and since I was able to nab both THE SECRET OF KELLS and SONG OF THE SEA for dirt cheap, I contented myself with those. But if you're a fan of Cartoon Saloon, definitely grab THE BREADWINNER for $5 if you don't have it already! 1 hour ago, Jay said: Is that the one with the right colors or the wrong colors? Both! The "director preferred" desaturated DRACULA from 1991 is on disc one, while the lusher original theatrical color timing is preserved on disc two. Personally, I strongly prefer the latter. I've seen a few complaints about image softness during the early reels, but it's nothing that bothered me. The Shout! release also boasts a ton of new special features (although I don't believe there are any Williams comments apart from those found on the "Revamping of Dracula" bonus doc that was also on the previous disc).

WOLFWALKERS left me somewhat cold, despite the typically beautiful animation -- and since I was able to nab both THE SECRET OF KELLS and SONG OF THE SEA for dirt cheap, I contented myself with those. But if you're a fan of Cartoon Saloon, definitely grab THE BREADWINNER for $5 if you don't have it already! I absolutely LOVED Wolfwalkers On 15/01/2023 at 12:16 AM, John Takis said: Both! The "director preferred" desaturated DRACULA from 1991 is on disc one, while the lusher original theatrical color timing is preserved on disc two. Personally, I strongly prefer the latter. I've seen a few complaints about image softness during the early reels, but it's nothing that bothered me. The Shout! release also boasts a ton of new special features (although I don't believe there are any Williams comments apart from those found on the "Revamping of Dracula" bonus doc that was also on the previous disc). Awesome, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is speculated that a 4K will come in UK from Indicator. In any case, they had announced that Dracula is coming and that an "unknown" 4K is coming too, and members in forums combined the 2 info.

Jay 37,378 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Yes and no. My TV is 4K and I can watch 4K content via Playstation 4 games or streaming video from streaming apps But I have no device that can play 4K UHD Blu Ray discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ciarlese 251 Posted March 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2023 Anybody interested in 3D movies here? I like to enjoy them on my 3D projector, and I was wondering if there is any missing in my collection. As far as I know, the only movies released in 3D scored by JW are: The sequel trilogy The Adventures of Tintin The BFG Also, two movies originally released in 2D have been remastered in 3D: Jurassic Park (available to purchase) and The Phantom Menace (which has never been released for home video if I am not wrong). In terms of somehow JW-related 3D content, I am aware of Solo, Rogue One and the final chapter of Harry Potter. Is there anything else I am missing?

Andy 4,147 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm a 3D enthusiast! Jurassic Park 3D has indeed been released, and it is utterly fantastic. Jurassic Park 3D Blu Ray And don't forget Jaws got an absolutely incredible 3D conversion just this past September. I am hoping and praying it gets a 3D Blu Ray. 1 hour ago, ciarlese said: Anybody interested in 3D movies here?

If more people had projectors, the format would likely still be thriving. And it's not even a cost issue, but a space and setup issue.

Gurkensalat 340 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Also 3D fan with projector here. Jurassic Park is very good 3D, Ep. 7 has IMO the best 3D of the sequels, Tintin is fantastic in 3D, BFG was ok 3D (rented it once), nothing special. I can't think of any other Williams-scored 3D movie. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,147 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Correct. All three Prequels were converted, with II and III only seen in limited presentations at conventions. None made it to 3D Blu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
