Gregory Peck on Blu-ray - The Official Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Hard Times Chaney · 03-15-2014, 06:25 AM

Good afternoon members... My, you look like a picture this afternoon.

Having made threads like this for James Stewart and Charles Bronson before, I decided it was time to make one for another favorite of mine - Gregory Peck. The purpose of this thread is to give a quick yet informative overview of all the Gregory Peck movies released on Blu-ray of the past and those coming our way in the future.

As always, feel free to also use this thread to discuss and compare the current releases of his movies and let us know if you find out there's a new movie being released in the near future, to help keep the list below up to date.

Here's the deal: If there's no flag next to the title of the movie, it means it has been released in America and possibly other countries as well around the world. If there is a flag next to it, it has been released in that country and perhaps a few other ones, but not in America.

At the moment, the following Gregory Peck movies (that I am aware of) has been released in and/or outside of North America on Blu-ray:

Spellbound (1944)

Review

Gentleman's Agreement (1947)

Review

Yellow Sky (1948)

Twelve O'Clock High (1949)

Review

Only the Valiant (1951)

Review

David and Bathseba (1951)

The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952)

The Purple Plain (1954)

Moby Dick (1956)

The Big Country (1958)

Review

Pork Chop Hill (1959)

Beloved Infidel (1959)

Review

On the Beach (1959)

Review

The Guns of Navarone (1961)

Review

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Review

How the West Was Won (1962)

Review

Cape Fear (1962)

Review

The Omen (1976)

Review

The Boys From Brazil (1978)

Great thread, I've only seen 3 of his films.

I think the best performance I've seen from him was his performance as Atticus Finch in Mockingbird.

BluVinyl · 03-15-2014, 07:04 AM

I have 3 on the list Mockingbird, Omen, and Gentleman's Agreement (just got the last one in latest haul and haven't watched it). I definitely want Boys from Brazil out of the released list, but my all time favorite Peck movie, and one of my top 3 movies is Moby Dick 1956. I hope I don't have to wait 2 more years for a 60th anniversary.

A great actor and a great man. One of those larger-than-life personalities who captivated whenever he was on the screen and who represented a Hollywood zeitgeist that has, as was so vividly demonstrated at the last Oscars presentation, sadly passed into memory. Some very interesting biographical and trivia tid-bits on the Imdb site, including the telling facts that after Ava Garder's death (his co-star in On The Beach ) he took in both her housekeeper and her dog, and that he remained friends with both Brock Peters and Mary Badham, who played Tom Robinson and Scout, respectively, in To Kill a Mockingbird, and that Peters delivered the eulogy upon his death in 1993. Wonderful anecdote about a meeting with Pope John Paul II at the White House in 1978.

Have been a huge fan of Mr. Pecks for decades but didn't realize to what extent he was actively involved in liberal and humanitarian pursuits, I guess because he found quiet, determined persuasion more effective than proselytizing, grandstanding, and self-aggrandizement.

Continuing to wait patiently for a quality release of Roman Holiday and On The Beach, my favorite Peck roles after 'Mockingbird'. And The Stalking Moon, but that might be pushing my luck.

I for one am waiting for the Gregory Peck version of Taxi Driver, he was great in that one.

Le Samourai · 03-15-2014, 07:22 PM

Nothing to add other than a thank you for the GP thread.

Bruisermoore · 03-15-2014, 07:31 PM

Thank you for this thread OP, he is one of my favorite actors along with Mitchum, Stewart, Brando and Grant.

Hard Times: Thanks for the thread. One of my favorite actors of all time. I think the story of how he got into acting is kind of interesting....

belcherman · 03-16-2014, 03:31 AM

Would love to see The Gunfighter on blu!

InvisibleLoad · 03-18-2014, 09:30 AM

Thanks for the Gregory Peck releases on BD, Hard Times Chaney. I'm dreaming of a lavish Roman Holiday BD release.

Hard Times Chaney · 03-19-2014, 02:41 AM

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the thread.

There's a big chunk of movies missing between To Kill a Mockingbird and The Omen, a 14 year absence in his filmography that I hope will be filled over time.
