Title: End-of-Year DVD Wish List
Post by: Find Your Magali on September 24, 2003, 08:53:12 AM
What DVDs are you most looking forward to between now and the end of 2003?

Call it a "Holiday Wish List," if you will

Anyway, I've narrowed my list to six movies or sets. (And I'm not counting Fargo or Treasure of the Sierra Madre, as I already have them on order)

MY TOP SIX (subject to change on a whim)
1. A Midnight Clear, Oct. 7
2. Indiana Jones trilogy, Oct. 21
3. Looney Tunes -- Golden Collection, Oct. 28
4. The Two Towers, Extended Edition, Nov. 18
5. Once Upon a Time in the West, Nov. 18
6. Scorsese's "My Voyage to Italy," no date, but I think it's expected before the end of the year

Well, of course, I've forgotten Ozu's "Tokyo Story" next month. That would bump "A Midnight Clear" from my top six. Or I'll just make a Top Seven.  :-D

And it will be hard for me to resist December's "Escape From New York." ... The Carpenter/Russell commentaries on The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China were so entertaining, I must have more of them!

I'm having some trouble deciding about my blind buys coming up... maybe you guys can help.

I've seen Good Morning, and thought it was okay, though I wouldn't watch it again. But everyone seems to talk about Ozu, particularily Toyko Story and Floating Weeds. Should I just bb these as they come out?

Also, what's the thoughts on Knife In The Water? If I loved Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby, should I just bb this as well?

I have read some really great things about The Adventures of Robin Hood, and am intrigued enough to consider making a blind buy. It really was the big-budget spectacle for its day.

Can't go wrong with Flynn, de Havilland, Rains and Rathbone, can you?

Oh man, glad to hear it...there's really not enough of us. It's one of the most overlooked great movies, seriously. Your the first that's said anything that I know of.

Do you own it by the way? I can't find it anywhere. I keep thinking it's out of print but amazon says they have it.

Check out that movie Cherish if you like Next Stop Wonderland. Robin Tunney is a goddess (sp?).

I was just lucky enough tocatch itin a pay-per-view channel. And the only reason it caught my attention was because PSH was in it. Saw it, saw it again, and saw itr again, almost everytime it aired on that channel. Unfortunately today it aired for the last time and I doubt I'll ever get to see it again, because here in Portugal, it went straight to cable :x  

As for Cherish... I never saw it but I'll see if I can ever take a look at it. Thanks for the tip  :-D
