Tootsie - Blu-ray Forum

DigitalfreakNYC · 05-27-2008, 11:53 PM

Now that Sidney has passed on...I am wanting to watch this movie again...and would rather not spend the $15 on a DVD.

ANy chance of a blu-ray release soon?

IndyMLVC · 02-20-2012, 12:18 AM

So...we're at the 30th anniversary...what's up with this?

filmmusic · 06-25-2012, 06:18 PM

it would be a great opportunity for a 30th anniversary release, but I don't see it..

If Sony wastes this and ships it to Twilight Time (at least ship it to Mill Creek if you're going to cheapen it out and give it to someone who never puts special features on Blu), I'll never purchase a Blu-Ray from them again. I want a 30th anniversary release.

benricci · 06-25-2012, 06:33 PM

Considering they released the 25th Anniversary edition 26 years after its release, maybe the 30th Anniversary Edition comes out next year?

I don't think this would go to Twilight Time. At least I hope and pray not.

After Steel Magnolias, one of the most popular "chick flicks" of all time and the movie that made Julia Roberts a star, I won't put anything past Sony now with TT

could make sense. I think since Tootsie came out at the very end of 1982 and made most of its box office in 1983 (kinda like when Fox put out the 25th anniversary DVD of 9 To 5 in 2006 despite having a 1980 release, it made most of its box office in 1981), maybe Sony considers it more of a 1983 title considering there's already so many 1982 movies celebrating anniversaries to not get lost in the shuffle.

NO WAY. Steel Magnolias is getting a Twilight Time release?! Not a fan of that movie, but that really is insane and heart destroying. Yes, I can imagine they'd throw out just about anything really good to Twilight Time.

yep, a Sept/Oct release I believe. After seeing that and As Good As It Gets, I am really turned off to Sony. I understand small niche titles, but box office hits are something else. I hope that Sony sees Tootsie fit to get a decent release and not some overpriced limited bare bones issue with Twilight Time.

It was a Criterion Laserdisc back in the day. Would be nice if they released it with Pollack's commentary from the disc.

Yes. Currently the BBS Story, Anatomy of a Murder, Vanya on 42nd Street and the upcoming On the Waterfront.

Considering Sony couldn't give two shits about their back catalog and are licensing it out to everyone and their mother, I would hope someone as classy as Criterion would be able to take it on.

When it came out it was Columbia's highest grossing film ever until 2 years later with Ghostbusters. I cannot imagine Sony turning it over to Mill Creek. Either Sony, Twilight Time or Criterion will release it....I hope.

Pirate King · 07-07-2012, 06:06 PM

I would buy it. It is a remarkable film. What Dustin Hoffman was able to do is quite amazing. Great film... fun to watch.

Mill Creek is crap, but at least its affordable, unlike Twilight Time's overpriced bare bones ish. Hopefully Criterion gets it. I wouldn't wish Twilight Time on anything

As Good As It Gets got a Twilight Time release?!?!?!

nf0603 · 07-22-2012, 05:35 PM

looks like Sony is dipping its toes back into distributing catalog titles themselves, with a 30th anniversary of Annie and a 20th anniversary of A League Of Their Own due this fall. Hopefully this means we'll get a 30th anniversary edition of Tootsie announced in the next six months (as Tootsie was released at the end of 1982 and saw most of its box office in 1983 and Sony released a 25th anniversary DVD in 2008, I can see 2013) as well.

The only reason we're getting Annie is because of the Broadway show. Not entirely sure about ALOTO. I'll believe it when I see it. They really don't give a shit.
