My Favorite Year (1982)

[AaronSCH]

To the best of my knowledge, this film was last released on DVD in 2002—more than a decade ago. After re-visiting "The Stuntman" last night and being reminded of its brilliance, I long to have an HD copy of "My Favorite Year." This often overlooked gem from 1982 features one of Peter O'Toole's greatest performances. But the film also boasts deft direction by Richard Benjamin and a stellar supporting cast that included Mark Linn-Baker, Jessica Harper, Joe Bologna, Bill Macy, Lainie Kazan, Lou Jacobi, Adolph Green, and the late, great Selma Diamond. This film deserves a Warner Archive release at a minimum. The DVD version is selling for outrageous prices via various resellers.
